Huawei is paying significant attention to the imaging capabilities of the upcoming Pura 80 Ultra. The Chinese smartphone maker has previously experimented with RYYB configuration for the image sensors, and the Pura 80 Ultra will reportedly be a part of that.
The news comes from reliable Weibo tipster Digital Chat Station, who previously revealed some information about the prototype of the Pura 80 Ultra. Huawei was reportedly testing it with a 50MP, 1-inch main sensor with variable aperture, and a 1/1.31″ periscope telephoto that has an RYYB configuration. Now the tipster reiterates on that leak saying the main sensor also be a part of the experiment.
Why does it matter?
For those unfamiliar, RGGB (commonly used in smartphone sensors) and RYYB refer to different color filter array configurations used to capture color information. While RGGB is considered to be ideal for general photography, the RYYB configuration excels in low-light conditions, capturing brighter images but sometimes at the cost of color accuracy.
So, it may benefit the Pura 80 Ultra in low-light photography. As for the color accuracy, the smartphone giant has previously experimented with it and likely has some experience on how to navigate through the challenges that come with RYYB. Nonetheless, we’ll need to test the color accuracy ourselves once the device hits the market.
The tipster also stated that the entire series comes with variable aperture, and the amount of light that enters the main sensor is sufficient.
To recall, Huawei used the RYYB color filter array with the Pura 70 Ultra as well, and the phone competes well with other flagships regardless of the lighting condition.
