Unlike the traditional red, green, green, blue (RGGB) or red, yellow, yellow, blue (RYYB) color sensors in previous Huawei phones, the spectral imaging units can gather more color data, leading to improved color accuracy, natural skin tones and better shadow retention.

Huawei’s new sensors cover 1.5 million multispectral channels. This sensor works in tandem with the other sensors to deliver natural color reproduction, even in complex light scenes.
