Huawei has just teased its upcoming flagship smartphones series earlier today (19th October 2020). The Mate 40 series’ launch is just around the corner and the new promotional teaser video hints at an ultra wide angle lens with no distortion being found in the new smartphone.
In the video, the company shared the line “Horizontal, as it should be” and “One in a straight line, all in one shot,” which hints at its camera module. The video itself has the camera lenses focus on a plate of food, which starts with a closeup and then seamlessly transitions to a wide angle shot. The video also emphasizes on the distortion effect that is observable on most ultra wide angle lenses, with the company hinting that this might not be an issue on the upcoming Mate 40 series.

While many OEMs are looking towards better anti distortion algorithms, Huawei might have found a way to eliminate the issue entirely. Although, it is still too early to know for sure. Previously, we had reported on a press render leak that showcased a triple camera setup on the Mate 40 Pro. In this leak, the ultra wide angle lens was a 20 megapixel sensor f/1.8 aperture.
Unfortunately, we do not have much to go on from just a single teaser video. Although, we can expect the Chinese tech giant to place a heavy emphasis on its upcoming flagship’s cameras. So stay tuned for more updates and the launch event, which we will be covering.
