Tecno Details The Ultimage Tech That Powers Camon 20 Premiere's 50MP RBGW Camera
Earlier this month, Tecno launched the new Camon 20 series and the top of the line model has a unique camera setup. The company calls "Ultimage" a combination of image sensors and AI features using imaging technologies.
Tecno Camon 20 Premiere is a showcase of Ultima's capabilities. It has an RGBW camera sensor that the company has been working on for years. Having white subpixels instead of green subpixels increases light transmission.
In addition, the company has used a glass element (1G+6P) in the lens matrix: and finally, there is no choice in sensor size, with Prime changing the sensor size from 1/1.73" to 1/1.56" or keeping the pixel size from 0.8μm to 1.0μm. Note that surface area is squared, so the new pixels have 56.25% more light-gathering area.
The premiere uses in-sensor image stabilization instead of the optical stabilization used by previous models. The sensor moves 5,000 times per second to detect handshakes and other unwanted movements, creating a clear image in the dark.
The camera's raw output is fed to a "Portrait Master Algorithm" trained on 50 million photos of people with different skin tones. This allows users to take what Tecno calls "the perfect one-shot."
In case you missed the announcement, the Tecno Camon 20 Premier has a very interesting camera setup. The main camera module is the 50MP RGBW sensor we mentioned earlier. The Gerlin module uses a 108-megapixel sensor behind a 115° field-of-view lens, making it the highest-resolution UW camera we've seen yet.
There was one more important point at the end of Techno's camera ad. The company will be one of the first brands to roll out the Android 14 update starting with the Camon 20 series (the phones will run Android 13).
