Tipster @AdakFenglangjuxu says that Huawei could make the camera and gallery access much safer with the future HarmonyOS NEXT updates. He shared his experience with the new software beta regarding systems and third-party apps.

Most apps, especially social ones require access to the gallery and camera for media content sharing. Although this permission often raises security concerns.

But HarmonyOS NEXT ensures secure access to both these system apps in every manner. The tipster says the HarmonyOS NEXT gallery ensures all apps have safer access at all times. It validates if images/videos are obtained via secure access controls.

Adak reveals two methods to access the gallery app:

The first one uses the device system’s component to obtain data. For instance, the Mee Time app directly uses the Image Picker to access the gallery app. It supports the device system’s component to control and obtain the data.

WeChat, on the flip side, uses its UI design to control access. It doesn’t directly support the device’s system components for every app.

Most of the applications such as the GoPaint app or Weibo use the second type (their own UI design) to access the gallery app rather than the device system’s component.

This might appear as insecure access to many users. The same goes for the camera app. Adak says that the camera should have a preview frame in real-time before scanning double QR codes and beauty cameras.

Such apps and services have their algorithms to access the camera which may not be secure in every manner. Note that these don’t harm your data but can’t be said safe as well. Following these points, Huawei could boost its security for gallery and camera access with the upcoming HarmonyOS NEXT versions.

DigitalChatStation has shared the hands-on images of the Honor Magic 7 Pro before its official unveiling. Even though the tipster removed the leak after some time, we managed to get our hands on the pictures. Let’s check them out.

The latest pictures show a quad-curved screen on the front part for better visuals. Magic 7 Pro also has a pill-shaped cutout with two lenses. One of them will act as a selfie shooter while the other one will support 3D face recognition capability.

Magic 7 Pro shows a thin chin at the bottom and smooth edges all around. The front face will likely provide a silky touch-feel with an improved viewing experience.

Speaking of the back part, the rear side shows a huge camera bump with a circular camera ring housed in a rounded square shape. The camera has four lens openings and a flash on the top. The “MATRIX” branding is placed horizontally in the middle.

The camera setup reflects the AI-powered Eagle Eye imaging integration. Honor has already confirmed the new technology with high-end features and shooting modes.

The top-right lens appears to be a periscope, while the below two lenses reflect the primary shooter and ultrawide-angle. Back panel of the device shows a matte finish at the bottom but a slight shine at the top section.

Honor showed the Magic 7 device during the Snapdragon 8 Elite launch event. Although the hands-on image gives a more clear look at the phone. To know the key parameters of the Magic 7 series, wait till tomorrow’s release conference.

Weibo tipster @WangzaiKnowsEverything has leaked the Honor Magic 7 series camera UI. It has a big shutter surrounded by albums and lens-flip tabs.

Above the shutter, the app bears the Aperture, Night View, Portrait, Photo, Video, and other features. Tapping on the portrait tool shows four focal length options.

These are: 1x, 2x, 3x, and 6x. Yes, the telephoto focal length has jumped to 6x this time, implying major enhancements for the portrait shots. Users can expect more clear shots of distant objects without even moving closer to them.

Besides the focal length options, there’s a new Yagu light and shadow portrait switch. The rest of the changes in the leaked camera interface such as facial editing, settings icon, and HDR tool are identical to the previous-gen models.

Responding to the leak, Honor CMO – Jiang Hairong said that the Magic 7 series camera features and capabilities are beyond imagination and offer the best experience.

“The images of the #Honormagic7# series are indeed beyond imagination! It can be said that it can satisfy all your imagination about taking photos. More information will be revealed at the press conference, so remember to come and see!”

Perhaps, more delightful changes regarding the Honor Magic 7 series are on the way. Mark the date October 30 on your calendar to witness glorious smartphones.

Weibo tipster @BeijingDigitalMaster shared some images of the Huawei Mate 70 back cover. The protective cover appeared in a Cyan pastel shade and has the “Mate 70” moniker on its plastic wrapper. The rear side reflects a matte finish.

Speaking of the details, the Mate 70 phone case reveals a big, uplifted, and circular camera bump. The outer rim of this module is wider than the previous-gen models. However, the thickness reduces the size of the frame, compared to Mate 60.

The external rim shines in silver color. Meanwhile, the inner circle of the camera bump resembles the Mate 60 series (above image). Although a few netizens said that the Mate 70 series might feature the Mate 50-like camera sensor arrangement.

Another notable segment is the right-angle frame. The back cover shows a more flat frame than the predecessors. If not many, consumers will notice some effective changes in the new Mate series’ appearance.

Mate 70 back cover leak further confirms a side-mounted fingerprint sensor. The power button below the volume rockers reveals an open design which implies that at least the standard variant will possess the side fingerprint unlocking solution.

Whereas, the high-end models like the Pro+ and Ultimate Design variants could continue to feature the optical fingerprint scanner.

The back cover also shows rounded corners and slim edges all around the phone. Other details are unknown but the current leak implies that the Mate 70 series is nearing its launch.

The latest leak also hints that the Mate 70 series will offer both a side-mounted fingerprint scanner and a 3D face recognition system. Regarding the camera sensors, the company has been testing new OmniVision lenses for the flagship lineup.

Perhaps this time, the company won’t make major changes to the device’s outlook but focus on the internal parameters. And let’s not forget that the two major additions to the Mate 70 series would be a new Kirin 5G chip and the HarmonyOS NEXT.

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.

Nova 13 series was expected to launch in June this year. But adaptation to new changes pushed the device release to October. It seems consumers don’t have to wait for much to experience the new high-end smartphones in their hands.

Huawei announces the Nova 13 series via a giant promo poster. The image reflects the global spokesperson of the Nova lineup – Yi Yang Qianxi. The caption reads:

“Fashionable and eclectic. Unlock the new #HUAWEInova13# series with HUAWEI nova global spokesperson @TFBOYS-Yi Yangqianxi! #nova13isextrastylish#”

Looking into the teaser image, the company has given a brand-new design to the Nova 13 series. The back panel as well as the camera module appears in a stunning avatar. The front face is hidden but we may find the details with the upcoming teasers.

The Chinese tech giant has further added a short description of the new smartphone series in the teaser. Nova 13 models will bring a dynamic camera performance for consumers. Thus, they can explore an incredible photography experience.

AI image editing tools are also present in the Nova 13 smartphones to boost picture quality with more attractiveness and realism. The next addition is the Beidou satellite SMS capability that ensures seamless connectivity even without a cellular signal.

Other changes and key parameters of the device are unknown. But the OEM won’t take much time to reveal ultimate upgrades of the latest high-end phone lineup.

Huawei has not mentioned the launch date for the Nova 13 series. Judging from the previous details and new inputs, the company will unveil the new smartphone lineup on October 22 (next week – Tuesday).

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.

The company has already confirmed to unveil the Honor X60 series on 16 October. As of now, it has started increasing the excitement of users with new teasers.

Looking into the teaser, Honor aligned four X60 models in an X-shape design. The company didn’t reveal the device’s key specs, but wrote an interesting caption:

“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.
