Huawei Set to Roar with Four Rear Cameras, 10X Optical Zoom
Coming to the camera front Samsung’s Galaxy A9 edition has become the first smartphone to sport Quad cameras. Walter Ji said that Huawei would also be coming with four cameras set up in 2019. Also, he believes 10X optical zoom is a must for smartphone cameras, and 2X and 3X won’t be enough. Also, in the mix of things is the foldable smartphone with 5G support, which can be expected in the first half of 2019. Further, don’t expect the same to happen in entry-level smartphones as Huawei firmly believes that good user experience can be had in bigger and expensive smartphones.
He further believes 5G technology is all set to change smartphone usage. But, he opines that it is not profitable to expand nationwide. With lightning-fast downloads, 5G consumes a great deal of the battery, and he believes software must be intelligent enough to choose the network based on the need. So, he thinks that 3G and 4G still occupy a significant position when it comes to network connectivity.
