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.

Huawei is well-known for its smartphone photography for the past few years. Every year the company brings new innovations in this category. This year’s Huawei P40 series features the largest CMOS sensor on any phone. Now, a patent reveals the company to be working on liquid lens technology.

According to the China National Intellectual Property Administration (CNIPA) portal, Huawei had filed a patent related to liquid lens camera module on December 25, 2019. The same has been approved on April 7, 2020.

As per the information available on portal, the patent includes a moving motor, camera placeholder, and electronic hardware to move the liquid lens.

As Huawei Central explains a stator is moved in the direction of the optical axis with the help of the motor. This stator is further connected with a liquid lens via spring. There’s also a limiter that Limits the connected spring in the direction of the optical axis when the altitude range changes.

This patented camera module for the liquid lens improves the stability and reliability of the motor under harsh conditions like impact or drop.

One might be wondering why Huawei has to implement such complex camera module into a smartphone. The answer is liquid lens offers faster autofocus and better stabilization. It takes less space than other lens and can eliminate the need for additional TOF sensor.

Since the patent has been only approved last week, we can expect this tech in Huawei P50 series in 2021 rather than Mate 40 series whose design might have been already finalized.
