Just days ago, word broke that the Honor Magic 6 will feature a new camera sensor — the 1-inch OV50K sensor from OmniVision. While specifics about this new sensor remain under wraps, credible leaker Digital Chat Station has shared a few details about it.

According to the leaker, the 1-inch OmniVision OV50K sensor is equipped with a new technology called LOFIC (Lateral Overflow Integration Capacitor) which will tackle a common challenge in smartphone photography – overexposure in bright scenes.

When you click a picture, the camera sensor captures light which is converted into electrical signals. These signals are then combined to form the final image. 

However, in bright scenes, the sensor can be overwhelmed by an excessive amount of light, leading to overexposure and a loss of detail. LOFIC will address this issue by effectively managing the excess light, ensuring that photos retain their integrity even in high-brightness conditions. 

DCS added that the OV50K will also be able to compete against Sony’s 1-inch IMX989 sensor.

Honor Magic 6 is also expected to feature satellite communication and Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. More details about the Honor Magic 6 series are expected to come out in the coming days.
