Can Megapixels be meaningful again with Honor View20?

#1 48MP Sony IMX586, f/1.8 lens - World’s first 0.8 µm ultra-compact pixel size enables industry’s highest pixel count at 48 effective megapixels!

* Improve light collection efficiency and photoelectric conversion efficiency over conventional products, with both high sensitivity and high saturation signal level.

* This smaller pixel size allows the new product to deliver 48 effective megapixels on a compact unit with 8.0 mm diagonal, which can be fitted on many smartphones.

* The increased pixel count enables high-definition imaging even on smartphones which use digital zoom.

#2 The Quad Bayer array enables both high sensitivity and high resolution

Using Pixel-binning,

* In low light situations, such as shooting at night, the signal from the four adjacent pixels are added, raising the light sensitivity to a level equivalent to that of 1.6 µm pixels (12 effective megapixels), to capture bright, low-noise photos and videos.

* When shooting bright scenes such as daytime outdoors, the built-in, original signal processing function performs array conversion, making it possible to obtain high-definition 48 effective megapixel images in real time.

#3 Four times greater dynamic range than previous products and real time output!

* Sony exposure control & signal processing functionality are built into the image sensor, enabling real-time output and a superior dynamic range that is four times greater than conventional products.

* Even scenes with both bright and dark areas can be captured with minimal highlight blowout or loss of detail in shadows while viewing the image on the smartphone display.

So overall the enormous, staggering 48-Megapixel Sony IMX586 CMOS sensor provides a large sensing surface, and should, in theory, gather more light, which increases the chance for better photography and also don't forget that it can also capture full-resolution photos at 30FPS, and capture 4K/90FPS video, along with 720p/480FPS slow-mo video, without cropping. With these sensor’s capabilities, we can guess that the phone can actually push it to its limits.

#4 A Time-of-flight (TOF) sensor, The Future?

Time-of-flight cameras have a huge advantage over other technologies, as it is able to measure the distances within a complete scene in a single shot. The sensor could be used to scan buildings and help those visualize large-scale projects in real-time through the use of AR, Impressive stuff!

* Time of Flight (ToF) is a highly accurate distance mapping and 3D imaging technology. Time-of-Flight 3D depth sensors emit a very short infrared light pulse and each pixel of the camera sensor measures the return time.

* Its job is to calculate the distance between the sensor and the environment to create a depth map, which can be used for Bokeh (background blur) or Combined with the power of the Kirin 980, this enables realtime scanning and animation of 3D objects!

#5 Advantages of TOF Camera

#Simplicity - A great advantage of a Time-of-Flight camera is that it is capable of composing a 3D image of a scene in just one shot.

#Efficient - After the distance data has been extracted, object detection is also a straightforward process to carry out because the algorithms are not disturbed by patterns on the object.

#Speed - As the cameras reach up to 160 frames per second, they are ideally suited to be used in real-time applications.

#Price - ToF technology is quite cheap but the job done by this is enormous!

#3D Technique - Full frame time-of-flight data (3D image) collected with a single laser pulse

#Low power consumption - With AI Cooling technology on board, the power consumption while hands-on with camera won't be much of a problem combined with Kirin 980.

#Range Gating - Ability to “See” into obscurant known as range-gating (Fog, Smoke, Mist, Haze, Rain)

#Pixel Perfect - Blur-free images without motion distortion, Pixels are perfectly registered within a frame.

#6 All-View Display with In-Screen Camera - a step closer to the all-screen smartphone of the future.!

The notch has long been controversial, but the hole punch is more elegant and less noticeable, it captures everything but sits in plain sight, the #WorldsFirstTechnology with just 4.5mm Ultra Small Diameter, Hole area reduced by half with All-View display!

* Placing it on the left also makes sense for mobile gaming. With the phone in landscape the punch hole is obscured by your hand, leaving an untouched full screen, viewing experience perhaps the All-View Display and hole punch camera design looks like a step in the right direction.

* What has Honor done? The complex screen has 18 different layers, including the TFT, filters, polarizes, adhesives, and the light guide. Honor only penetrates the light guide plate for its punch hole, leaving all the other layers untouched. Reliability is increased, but more importantly,the selfie camera performance!

Honor's first 2019 flagship kicks off the new year with Eye-catching distinctive design on the back, with the ‘flying V’ design offering something genuinely different and tricked out features like AI cooling, dual-band GPS and triple-antenna Wi-Fi along with New Magic UI 2.0 - It will be a real punch to start the year against rivals!​
