Brother Mouse was curious about this and went to Huawei official website to consult the artificial customer service. The answer is "no comment"! ?
This evening, I asked my friends in the digital circle for information, and with the information that Brother Mouse knew, I wrote this article to communicate with netizens.
Because 1 inch IMX800 sensor is bound to be a highlight of product promotion, Huawei's marketing department can't be stupid enough to hide such an excellent selling point. Secondly, it can be seen from the test comparison chart of DXOmark that the image quality of the main lens of Huawei P50Pro is obviously not as good as that of Xiaomi 1 1Ultra (Samsung GN2 sensor,11.12 inch). If it is a Sony IMX800 sensor, 1 inch, the picture quality can't be better than Xiaomi 65438.
Last but not least, Sony's stacked CMOS sensor electronic layer is made by TSMC. If TSMC can't make Kirin processors, then Sony CMOS sensors made by TSMC can't be supplied to Huawei!
This statement seems reasonable at first glance, because Huawei snapped up various components from major suppliers before being sanctioned by the United States. If Mate40Pro+ products have sufficient spare parts, but they cannot be mass-produced due to the shortage of processors, P50 series may also use the stock components of Mate40 series.
However, Brother Mouse carefully studied the wording of Huawei's website and found it impossible, because Huawei's mobile phone used RYYB filter before, and P50 series changed back to RGGB filter. Huawei official website's main word for mate40Pro+ is "super sensitive lens", while the main word for P50Pro is "primary color lens".
Because the color filters of CMOS sensors must be packaged together during production, it is impossible to modify them after leaving the factory. So this statement can be directly denied!
Here, by the way, explain why Huawei can't use RYYB to arrange it now.
Because the technology of RYYB filter arrangement is not developed by Huawei, it is a patent of Anson USA. Anson acquired Aptina Company in 20 14, which is the CMOS supplier of Nikon's "1 series micro camera". After the acquisition of Aptina, Ansenmei believed that there was no market in the camera field and turned to the security and monitoring field, which directly led to the weakness of Nikon's "1 series micro-single camera" and finally ended.
However, the monitoring and security fields have low requirements for color reproduction and high requirements for dark light performance, so Anson has developed a series of filter technologies to enhance dark light performance. RYYB arrangement is Anson's technical patent. Huawei acquired RYYB technology through cooperation with Anson. (So Anson Mei has been on Huawei's supplier list before)
With the change of the environment, As an American company, Anson Mei can't continue to cooperate with Huawei, which is why Huawei P50 series has to give up the arrangement of RYYB filter. From this perspective, many people overestimate Huawei's camera technology. In fact, many patents are really not in Huawei's hands, but Huawei obtained them through supplier cooperation.
First of all, in terms of corporate strategy, Samsung and Xiaomi have reached in-depth cooperation, and Xiaomi and Huawei are the "most powerful brands" in the mobile phone market. This is doomed that the possibility of cooperation between Samsung and Huawei is very low. Secondly, in terms of funds, Samsung has a US-funded background, and it is unlikely that Korean companies will offend the United States for Huawei.
The most important thing is that the product situation can also be ruled out.
Because Samsung Semiconductor currently has only three 50-megapixel CMOS sensors, namely JN 1, GN 1 and GN2. Where JN 1 is "weak chicken", 1/2.76 inches, which can be eliminated at the first time. The remaining GN 1 is the main product of the blue-green factory and the small factory in Zhuhai, while the top GN2 is exclusive to Xiaomi 1 1 series.
Think about it, using JN 1 is the "weak chicken", using GN 1 is the staple food, and using GN2 is the follower of Xiaomi, which is simply a "dead game".
From the comparison picture of DXOmark, or from the perspective of enterprise marketing, Brother Mouse thinks that it is impossible for Huawei P50 series to adopt Samsung's CMOS sensor.
Many friends may not know much about OmniVinon, which was originally an American company and the first to third generation camera supplier of Apple smartphones! At that time, it was one of the best giants in the industry. However, people are not as good as heaven. When Apple introduced the iPhone4, Sony Semiconductor developed a back-illuminated CMOS tiger's mouth.
OmniVinon, who lost Apple's order, went downhill and suffered serious financial losses. Finally, it was bought by China consortium on 20 15!
Having said that, Brother Mouse had to sigh that it was prescient to buy Huachuang Investment, CITIC Capital and Jinshi Investment from OmniVinon.
Therefore, OmniVinon's "life blood supply" for Huawei mobile phones should be no problem!
Brother Mouse inquired in OmniVinon official website and found that Huawei P50pro cameras with 654.38+03 million pixels, 40 million pixels, 50 million pixels and 64 million pixels all have corresponding models in OmniVinon's product library!
The following is the product situation:
There is only one product of 50-megapixel CMOS sensor, which is a new product OV50A just released by OmniVinon in February this year. The specification is11.55 inch and the single pixel size is 1um.
There is only one product of the 40-megapixel CMOS sensor, which is OV40A from OmniVinon, with the specification of11.7 inch and the single pixel size of 1um.
13 megapixel CMOS sensor has two products, namely:
OV 13A 10, with specifications of 1/3.4 inches and single pixel size of 1um.
OV 13B 10, with specifications of 1/3.06 inches and single pixel size of 1. 12um.
There are three kinds of 64 million pixel CMOS sensors, namely:
OV64A, the specification is11.32 inch, and the single pixel size is 1um.
OV64B, the specification is 1/2 inches, and the single pixel size is 0.7um.
OV64C, the specification is11.7 inch, and the single pixel size is 0.8um.
Through online search, Brother Mouse found that Da V, who owns Huawei P50Pro in advance, has calculated the specifications of each camera through the exif information of the picture.
The physical lens focal length of the main lens is 5.54mm, and the viewing angle is equivalent to 135 Quan Huafu system 23 mm The frame coefficient is easily calculated to be 4. 15X, and the size is11.54 inch. It is possible to sit in the right position with OV50A!
The physical focal length of the black-and-white lens is 5.56mm, and the viewing angle is equivalent to 135 Quan Huafu system 26 mm Forget it, it is similar to the main camera parameters of Huawei P20Pro, and it can be judged that it is11.7 inch, which is just the same as OV40A. It is also very possible!
The physical lens focal length of the super wide-angle lens is 1.76mm, and the viewing angle is equivalent to 135 Quan Huafu system 13mm. The frame coefficient is easily calculated to be 7.4X, and the size is about 1/2.74 inches. This specification has no clear corresponding model, so it is in doubt for the time being.
The physical lens focal length of the periscope lens is 16.85mm, which is equivalent to 90mm for 135 Quan Huafu system, and the physical lens focal length of the periscope lens with a frame factor of 5.34X Xiaomi 1 1Ultra is 22mm, which is equivalent to 135 Quan Huafu system.
From the above analysis:
The combination of ov50a+ov13b10+ov64b+ov40a guessed by netizens is probably true. (But there is no conclusive evidence)
Then the problem is coming. The mobile phone circle has been advocating "the bottom is pressing people". The CMOS sensor specification of Huawei P50Pro is obviously one order of magnitude smaller than that of Xiaomi 1 143 Ultra. Why did DXOmark score 144VS 143 win?
Brother Mouse went back to the DXOmark website and downloaded their test charts to the computer for careful comparison. The situation is as follows:
Comparison of original drawings (Huawei P50Pro on the left and Xiaomi 1 1Ultra on the right)
Screenshot comparison 1 (Huawei P50Pro on the left, Xiaomi on the right 1 1Ultra)
Screenshot comparison 2 (Huawei P50Pro on the left, Xiaomi 1 1Ultra on the right)
Screenshot comparison 3 (Huawei P50Pro on the left, Xiaomi 1 1Ultra on the right)
In this regard, my conclusion is that the main lens of Huawei P50Pro completely lost to Xiaomi 1 1Ultra in terms of resolution, DXOmark texture details and Jiao Wai blur.
Finally, some words came to my throat, but I still want to say:
1. This affects consumers' right to know.
Even if OmniVinon's CMOS sensor is not as good as Sony and Samsung in image quality and performance, I am not ashamed. If Huawei can cooperate deeply with OmniVinon, Chinese enterprises will join hands with Japanese and Korean enterprises, and I believe there will be countless people willing to support it!
3. I don't know the scoring standard of DXOmark website. I hope that Chinese enterprises will not recharge a French website mindlessly, and consumers can treat DXOmark's score rationally.
Finally, it is emphasized that there is no conclusive evidence that Huawei P50 series mobile phones adopt CMOS models, and Huawei officials are secretive about this. Therefore, this paper only analyzes and infers the identity of netizens based on network information. Please pay attention!
