In this second half of the year 2019, many flagship smartphones are expected to get launched. Samsung is all set to launch its Galaxy Note 10 series phones next week while the next-gen Apple iPhones are expected to get launched next month.
Huawei is also gearing up to launch its next-generation Mate-series flagship smartphones — Huawei Mate 30 and Mate 30 Pro in the coming months. Along with those two phones, Mate 30 Lite variant is also expected to get launched.
Now, the company has been grated a couple of new patents which gives us an idea about what to expect from the upcoming Mate 30-series flagship smartphones from Huawei. The company has been granted patents for AirGlass and SuperSensing Camera.
The Mate 30 series phones are now expected to come with AirGlass screen protector on top of the display instead of Corning Gorilla Glass. The Huawei AirGlass is defined under Class 9 and its detailed description includes “Covers for smartphones; cases for smartphones; Protective glasses; covers for tablet computers; protective films adapted for smartphones; Stands for adapted for mobile phones.”
On the other hand, the SuperSensing Camera module will be used in the upcoming Mate 30 series smartphones. This was first implemented in the P-series flagship series from Huawei launched earlier this year — Huawei P30 and P30 Pro with a 40-megapixel primary sensor as a part of its quad-camera setup.
The Image Signal Processor (ISP) and the Kirin 980 chipset works in such a way that it allows 40% more light to enter, producing detailed pictures, as per the company. The same technology will now be used in the upcoming flagship smartphones.
As per the reports, the smartphone could come with four camera sensors on the back, consisting of two 40-megapixel camera sensor. The report says that the phone will come with a 40MP 1/1.5” RYYB sensor with a variable aperture of f1.6 – f/1.4. It will also have a feature called Cine Lens which can be enabled while recording a video.
The second camera will be another 40-megapixel camera but this time it has a 120-degree ultrawide angle lens and an f/1.7 aperture. It also has the Cine Lens feature too for those times you want to record videos with the ultrawide angle lens.
The third camera is an 8-megapixel telephoto lens with 5x optical zoom. This is most likely the same periscope camera as that of the Huawei P30 Pro and should have up to 50x digital zoom. There is no mention of a fourth sensor which is most likely a ToF sensor.
Reports indicate that the Huawei Mate 30 series smartphone could get launched in October this year and will be available for purchase from November 2019. While the 4G models will get launched in October, the 5G model from this series could get launched in December.
