A new leak shared by a tipster on Weibo suggests that Huawei is testing a 200MP periscope camera for its next-gen flagship smartphones. If not right away, we could find this advanced lens upgrade with the top-end Mate 80 series.
DigitalChatStation suggests that certain phone makers are evaluating a 200MP periscope telephoto camera. While the tipster didn’t reveal the names of the brands, it seems Huawei is also on the list of testing a big lens for its devices.
The 200MP periscope camera can offer significant benefits over an ordinary sensor. It enhances the zoom capability and image quality and enables users to capture distant subjects with impressive clarity and detail.
It can achieve 3x to 10x optical zoom, offering sharper and more detailed images at longer focal lengths. One can shoot close-up portraits or distant landscapes with this lens.
Huawei Pura 80 Ultra is expected to feature a 10x optical zoom camera, just like the P40 Pro+. Although if the company has just started testing a new lens, it won’t debut as early as the Pura 80 series, scheduled for a June launch.

Thus, if the current leak is accurate, the company may integrate a 200MP periscope telephoto camera into the Mate 80 series. The tipster adds that the camera will only appear with the high-end variant, as the Pro models can have a small screen.
It is unclear if Huawei has planned a big 200MP camera upgrade for its smartphones. Many phones like Xiaomi 15 Ultra are Vivo X200 Pro are using a 200MP camera sensor. Hence, the company may not want to feel left out in this trend.
But Huawei hasn’t confirmed these details yet. Therefore, we have to wait for some more revelations to clear the mist from the topic.
