Honor is gearing up to launch two new flagship smartphones on March 18, the Honor Magic 6 Ultimate Edition & Magic 6 RSR Porsche Design. Now it has been reported by Xinhua News Agency that the upcoming phones will offer a new camera sensor with a new technology called LOFIC that has been jointly developed by Honor and OmniVision.

Magic 6 series’ LOFIC enables SLR-level ultra-high dynamic range of 15EV

LOFIC stands for Lateral OverFlow Integration Capacitor, which was also talked about earlier by Honor’s mobile phone product manager Li Kun. Notably, LOFIC helps preserve details in the highlights and shadows better, resulting in a “800% improved” dynamic range. Most flagship smartphones these days already have great HDR-capable displays with a very high local peak brightness.

Preserving details on the highlights better will likely complement the whole photography experience. Notably, the new sensor can achieve an SLR-level ultra-high dynamic range of 15EV. The theoretical dynamic range of the sensor is reportedly comparable to the Sony Alpha a7S III.

This camera system also combines AI technology to make the most of its hardware. Enhanced motion sensing capabilities allow you to capture fast moving subjects without the introduction of motion blur. Notably, Honor has also worked on the telephoto lens to improve its light sensing capabilities.

A live shot of the Magic 6 RSR Porsche Design was also revealed yesterday that shows a hexagonal camera module housing three lenses, a flash, and a mention of 100X zoom.
