Huawei P60 Pro is the only smartphone that comes with ultra lighting periscope zoom camera but it seems like Apple may also bring this telephoto camera for iPhone 15 Pro.
A well-known Apple analyst, Ming-Chi Kuo said that iPhone 15 Pro Max will come with a new periscope camera and it will be supplied by Taiwan’s optical maker Largan.
Largan Precision (Largan) designs, develops, manufactures, and sells plastic aspherical lenses and optical components. The company’s product portfolio includes cellphone/NB lenses, webcam lenses, camera lenses, car lenses, and scanner lenses.
It is reported that the iPhone 15 Pro Max may use a 6x optical zoom, which would be more than the 5x on conventional Android phones. An industry insider claims that Apple may have not used this tech before but the iPhone maker is testing this Periscope reserve for years and wants to finally bring it with new phones.
What is Periscope?
A periscope lens allows the light to reflect through an angled mirror toward the image sensor located in the camera. The large periscope lens directional shift allows a “folded” telephoto lens system for improved optical zoom capabilities without the blurriness that comes with digital zoom.
Better than Huawei?
When it comes to the periscope, Huawei P60 Pro wins the race with the first-ever f/2.1 aperture sensor telephoto sensor. This empowers bright photos even for zoomed images.
This time, Huawei P60 Pro also comes with a brand-new periscope module. It has multiple mirror groups inside to improve the view and zoom levels of the subject. The use of a wide prism enables to capture of a large area and delivers more light on the sensor.
That’s not it, Huawei P60 Pro already beats the iPhone 14 Pro Max by intaking over 488% more light in the telephoto camera competition.
This is far beyond the capability of the iPhone but we’ll wait to see what Apple is preparing with Periscope for the iPhone 15 Pro Max and whether would it be able to beat Huawei P60 Pro.
