Huawei is developing CMOS sensors
Until now, Huawei has mainly been supplying its sensors from Sony, but due to the embargo, Sony can only offer permitted sensors to Huawei. For this reason, both Sony’s sales decreased and Huawei remained a little away from the competition.
It was claimed that Huawei would completely sever ties with Sony on the Huawei P70 flagship due to its inability to supply the sensors it wanted. The company has pushed the button for a CMOS sensor that will be developed entirely in-house, from plate to chip and production processes.
Currently, Omnivison is developing the best sensors in China. In this regard, it is not known how ambitious Huawei’s CMOS sensors will be, but it is claimed that we can see the first examples in the Huawei P70 and Huawei Mate 70 models. The company had previously developed joint sensors with Leica and Sony. In this respect, there is a significant accumulation of experience.
