Huawei is apparently pushing for innovation again with its upcoming flagship series. A new report has suggested that the company’s Huawei P50 series will feature liquid lens camera technology, which have a focusing time of just milliseconds.

According to a MyDrivers report, sources believe that these new liquid lens technology will be mass produced and commercialized next year. Furthermore, the new lenses will primarily used for the telephoto lenses, and the Chinese tech giant would also launch related products as well. The company has been known to be working with liquid lens technology for a while, with it applying a patent for the same back in 25th December 2019, which was published earlier this year in April.

Earlier this year, we had also covered a patent that suggested that the Huawei P50 series will sport a ‘Liquid Lens Camera Module.’ Notably, this new lens offers certain advantages like extremely fast focusing speeds, which can level in just milliseconds similar to a human eye with an accuracy rate of almost 100 percent. To explain the liquid lens technology in brief, while traditional lenses achieves zooming and focusing by adjusting the focal length between two fixed focal length lenses, the liquid lens have electricity passed through it to change the shape of the liquid to control imaging.

This, in turn, would improve the time it takes to focus on a particular subject and could even help with the optical image stabilization (OIS) as well. If the Chinese tech giant manages to make the liquid lens technology more durable, then its reliability would also be improved under abnormal conditions or after impacts or accidental drops. Importunately, this is still an unconfirmed report so take it with a pinch of salt for now and stay tuned for more updates.
