The Huawei Pura 70 series’s XMAGE image system is equipped with a one-inch, 50-megapixel camera sensor. It features a mechanically rotating telescopic lens structure that can expand and contract internally. The company claims it can endure at least 300,000 expansions and contractions. Furthermore, even at speeds of 300 km/h, it can capture clear images. The main camera supports a variable aperture ranging from f/1.6 to f/4.0 and features sensor-shift anti-shake technology for stabilized shots. It is accompanied by a 40-megapixel ultra-wide lens and an OIS-enabled 50-megapixel telephoto macro camera.
