Huawei is now widely expected to release P60-series successors that build on the line’s reputation for smartphone photography with what might be the best XMAGE-branded hardware yet. This, according to legendary leaker Digital Chat Station, might include a periscope lens with OEM-first specs.
They include 100mm worth of zoom, compared to 90mm even in the top-end Mate 60 RS Ultimate Edition. That spec would still fall short of the 120mm modules in the iPhone 15 Pro Max and Xiaomi 13 Ultra in fairness – then again, it will also apparently be “4X“.
It is not known if that last figure pertains to optical zoom – thereby also potentially beating the 60 RS – although such a specific level of magnification is not thought to feature even in the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra.
Digital Chat Station asserts that this new zoom lens will be accompanied by a 1-inch main camera sensor, thereby further fueling speculation that the device in question will launch as Huawei’s new top-end P70 Pro Art variant. Then again, it is also said to ditch its predecessor’s unique camera hump for something more like that of the Nova 12 series in 2024.

I became a professional writer and editor shortly after graduation. My degrees are in biomedical sciences; however, they led to some experience in the biotech area, which convinced me of its potential to revolutionize our health, environment and lives in general. This developed into an all-consuming interest in more aspects of tech over time: I can never write enough on the latest electronics, gadgets and innovations. My other interests include imaging, astronomy, and streaming all the things. Oh, and coffee.
