Earlier today (24th March 2020), a new leak revealed certain details regarding the upcoming Honor 30S. The smartphone is one of the latest device that will be launched by the Huawei subsidiary and will reportedly feature a custom large camera sensor.
According to the source, the image sensor on the Honor 30S has a size of 1/1.3 inch. This doesn’t sound particularly large but is bigger than what most smartphones arrive with. The larger size should in theory provide better low light photography considering more light can be captured by the bigger sensor. Unfortunately, the model name of the sensor is currently unknown, however, its pixel size is said to be 1.2μm.

If the primary camera has a high megapixel count, then through pixel binning, it could potentially reach 2.4μm as well. Pixel binning is generally the combination of 4 pixels into one to increase the size. Thus, it may be similar to Samsung’s ISOCELL Bright HM1 sensor, which is found on the 108 megapixel Galaxy S20 Ultra. Although, the megapixel count of the Honor 30S’s image sensor isn’t that high, with the leaked information showing just 52 megapixels.
Unfortunately, finer details are unknown and this is just a leak at the end of the day. So take this report with a grain of salt. Since it has yet to be confirmed, it does leave a possibility of the new sensor actually making an appearance. This would all but benefit the Chinese company’s upcoming Honor 30S launch. We will be covering the event so stay tuned.
