According to the teaser’s caption, the Nova 13 series is more fashionable as well as innovative than its predecessors. It comes with a better design and enhanced camera aspects. These changes will surely deliver a more efficient experience to users.

Back Panel

Huawei Nova 13 series teaser shows a distinct design from the Nova 12 handsets. Starting from the rear side, the device adopts a unique plaid look (crossed lines). The checkered pattern is quite impressive and gives an interwoven feel to hands.

Previous-gen models were bound to the rococo pattern. But this time, the phone maker has used a different design for its Nova models with a touch of comfort.

The grass green shade and matching lines on the back panel show creativity at its peak level. This would likely be the star shade in the Nova 13 family with a classic design. Apart from green, other color variants could be White, Black, and Purple.

Camera Design

Huawei has continued the use of a giant pill-shaped camera module at the back which complements the rear side design. This pill has become larger and shows a distinct lens arrangement (four openings) over the Nova 12 series smartphones.

The camera sensors are placed in a square pattern, ditching a big star ring lens at the middle or the top. The outer thin rim of the camera bump has the same Nova branding throughout. Huawei has always given a new look to its Nova lineups and the teaser shows that the 13th series is no exception in this matter.

The teaser description reads that Nova 13 models will feature a front and rear multi-focal length portrait sensor. It hints that the firm has further upgraded the camera performance to deliver a better photography experience to its users.

Next, users may see dual LED flash arranged at the top and bottom for more lighting for dim light or dark surroundings. Other key specs are currently unknown.

However, some early inputs claimed that the top-end variants of the Nova 13 series will bring three cameras alongside a telephoto shooter. We may get more details on this matter in the coming days.

The South Korean tech giant is not only focusing on making its UI segment incredible but also easier to navigate. Despite an attractive interface, users often get stuck with the usage and navigation part of the One UI software updates.

But it seems the company is fixing this problem with the One UI 7.0. This could also be a reason why Samsung is taking time to release its new One UI beta update for developers and users. So without any delays, let’s take a look at new changes.

One UI 7.0 Camera Interface

The company is ready to give a bold revamp to the camera segment with the One UI 7.0 upgrade. The recent One UI 7.0 early build leaks suggest that the tech maker will adopt a more simple and easy-to-use camera interface with the new OS.

Looking into the details, shooting models like Photos, Videos, Portraits, and other labels now appear at the bottom of the screen. It is the perfect spot to switch between camera modes and other shooting tools without spending much time.

One UI 7.0 to bring simpler and easier camera interface

Camera controls are now far better than the previous builds. One UI 7.0 has a new single tab as the replacement for Night Shot mode. The exact function of this button at the bottom of the camera interface is unclear. Though we may get details soon.

Other controls like Settings, Flash, Timer, Aspect Ratio, and Motion Photo can be found in the lower middle of the screen. These simple but significant changes will offer a clutter-free camera interface to users.

These changes even seem effective for those who prefer using the device in the one-handed mode. Such users can also opt for certain options from the top right corner of the camera layout. These changes could differ in the stable version. Hence, let’s wait more on this segment till the official rollout.

Mate 70 camera specifications are in the mist at present. Early rumors said the flagship lineup will use an upgraded camera system over the Pura 70 models. Now a new leak adds more insights to this matter, specified with an ISP imaging chip.

Tipster FixedFocus notes that the Huawei Mate 70 series will likely bring improved camera shooting effects. The primary color mode, also known as RGB (red, green, blue) spectrum may provide more vivid colors and brighter shots than before.

The highlight of this leak is a new ISP imaging chip. Huawei is said to use a new ISP (Image Signal Processor) component to enhance the camera effects for Mate 70.

ISP is a special imaging chip that processes raw image data and converts it into high-quality images. It runs on automatic scene and face recognition capabilities to enhance the image output. The chip further adjusts other aspects like contrast, color, and brightness of the pictures, making them more realistic.

Other characteristics of the ISP chip are to maintain the white balance, auto-focus, noise reduction, and sharpness of the image to make them perfect.

An upgraded ISP imaging processor will eventually boost the shooting ability of the Mate 70 series. However, the tipster notes that the camera parameters could differ between Mate 70 variants, which will likely affect the photography experience.

Anyways, the overall camera performance is expected to be better than the previous-gen models. Mate’s lineup has been all about performance. But the tech giant never compromised its photography experience. Thus, we may see new upgrades with the upcoming Mate 70 series smartphones as well.

Mate 70 series may use the signature circular camera bump on the rear side. An early input claimed that the standard model could opt for an OV50H main lens whereas, the high-end variants will adopt new OV50N and OV50M camera sensors.

A large variable aperture camera combined with a hybrid lens is also on the expected list. But how far these leaks are accurate is still a big question. We may get answers to these doubts in the next month. Stay tuned.

“Whimpering: On October 16, Brother Jiang Hairong-Harrison will bring a hardcore challenge, guess what it is? #HonorX60Series#”

According to the image, the Honor X60 series will likely have four colors: White, Cyan, Orange, and Silver or Black. The orange variant shows a plain leather texture on the back. Whereas, the While and Cyan shades exhibit a rococo pattern.

The difference is also visible in terms of the camera module. This time, the company is showing two different camera bumps on the X60 models. One of these has a thick circular rim with four lens openings (two seem closed) in the inner circle.

Although the white color variant shows a Mate 60 Pro-like camera bump. The lenses are embedded in the outer circle, leaving the center empty with MATRIX branding. The LED flash appears at the top while one lens is on the side.

One of the models highlights a pill-shaped dual-hole design on the front side for the selfie sensor. The design is different from the previous alleged hands-on image of the X60. Perhaps, this new model could be the X60 Pro smartphone. It also shows speakers on the upper side for clear calling scenarios.

The overall appearance looks a bit slimmer than the previous models and has simple round corners with a dual-curved screen. The company will reveal the secret behind the different camera modules on October 16. Stay tuned.

This time, the company may adopt a triple rear camera structure for the high-end Nova 13 models. It will likely consist of a 50MP RYYB main lens, an 8MP ultrawide-angle, and a 12MP periscope sensor.

Tipster @SmartPikachu says that all Huawei Mate 70 models may feature an upgraded telephoto macro camera. It will carry the signature circular camera module on the back with a few changes in lens arrangement as per the previous leaks.

For reference, telephoto macro and periscope camera sensors differ from each other. The former lens enables users to zoom in easily on distant objects and click impressive close-up shots, irrespective of the subject’s size. The latter lets you see around an obstacle.

The difference is also visible in magnification. For instance, the periscope lens offers 5x to 10x optical zoom. Although the telephoto can zoom to a 2x or 3x limit. To cover this limitation, the company will likely integrate an improved imaging chip and better macro shots capabilities into the upcoming flagship Mate 70 series.

Notably, the tipster mentioned that the whole system will opt for the telephoto macro camera. It hints that all the Mate 70 models could sport the upgraded camera sensor.

Other than that, a new Mate 70 color variant is also in consideration. Huawei might introduce a distinctive shade this time over the previous-gen models with a simplistic design. As mentioned earlier, the devices may not bring major design upgrades.

A major highlight of the Mate 70 series would be the Kirin chip. Inputs reveal that Huawei could introduce a 5nm processor with its next flagship. If true, it will likely deliver a significant performance boost and a faster functioning experience to users.

An early input also claimed that the next-gen Kirin chip will unlock new AI capabilities for the Mate 70 handsets. The details are unclear but we can expect a notable change in the respective chipset. The company aims to adopt a perfect hardware and software combination for its next creation.

Mate 60 series: Camera

Huawei used an ultra-thin periscope camera technology to enhance zoomed photography. The company will likely raise this zooming capability with the upcoming Mate 70 series.

The Mate 60 series comes with a triple-lens arrangement which varies as per models. The Pro variant features a 50MP main camera, a 12MP ultrawide lens, and a 48MP periscope shooter.
