JAKARTA - HONOR is reportedly testing a new flagship phone with an extreme camera configuration: two 200MP sensors, including a main camera based on LOFIC technology. This information comes from the Digital Chat Station leaker on Weibo, which is often the source of the first details of high-end Android devices.
According to the leak, the device, which is still in the testing phase, will carry a dual 200MP configuration. One sensor for the main camera, and another for the periscope telephoto camera. If true, this move puts HONOR in the increasingly hot megapixel race in the premium segment.
The main highlight is certainly the use of LOFIC technology or Lateral OverFlow Integration Capacitor. In simple terms, LOFIC is a sensor design approach that allows additional capacitors to handle excess light load laterally. As a result, the dynamic range or dynamic range increases significantly.
Dynamic range refers to the ability of the camera to capture details in very bright and very dark areas in one frame. In the world of mobile photography, this is crucial to photographing a bright sky without making the subject below it a silhouette.
Digital Chat Station mentions that there are two sensor options for the main camera: OmniVision OV52B 200MP and OmniVision OVB0D 200MP. The OV52B sensor has long been rumored to be present in the 2026 flagship.
Meanwhile, OVB0D, which was introduced last December, comes with a 1/1.12-inch sensor format and supports HDR processing based on DCG plus LOFIC Gen 2. DCG or Dual Conversion Gain is a technique that allows the sensor to switch between high and low sensitivity to optimize image quality in various light conditions.
Previously, the OVB0D sensor was rumored to be used on the HONOR Magic 9 Pro. However, this latest leak indicates that the sensor could be used earlier on a different model.
The tipster also referred to this device as a "large screen" version, which sparked speculation that HONOR might use the "Pro Max" branding. There is also speculation that this device will replace the Magic 8 Ultra position which had been rumored.
If it is true that it is in the Magic 8 line, this model has the potential to be the highest variant with a main focus on imaging technology. In an increasingly competitive market landscape, differentiation through large sensors and advanced HDR technology can be a trump card. But as usual in the world of leaks, everything is still speculative until there is official confirmation from HONOR.
