Huawei Might Launch Smartphones With Rotating Triple Camera Setup Soon

When it comes to smartphones, it can be said that the most popular design trends today are the notch, punch-hole, and full-screen display. For the third one, we have examples of Xiaomi Mi MIX 3 with a manual sliding mechanism, OnePlus 7 Pro with a pop-up selfie camera and ASUS ZenFone 6 with a rotating camera.

Not only ASUS, but Samsung is also another manufacturer that has adopted this year's flip camera design with the Galaxy A80, although this phone uses a combination of sliding and flip mechanisms. According to a recent patent, Huawei may also adopt the flip camera design for its smartphones in the future. Of course, this is not Huawei's first smartphone with a rotating camera, because this design was applied on the Huawei Shot X (also known as Honor 7i), which was launched in 2015.

LetsGoDigital said that Huawei filed a patent for a device with a flip camera design similar to ZenFone 6 on January 9, 2019. This patent was later granted by the World Intellectual Property Office (WIPO), published on December 17, 2019.

Despite having a similar design to ZenFone 6, Huawei's mysterious smartphone is equipped with triple cameras instead of only two. The triple-camera system of the device will be able to flip 180 degrees from the back to the front. This camera cluster also includes an ultra-wide-angle lens, so users can easily take group selfies at a higher quality.

Last month, it was reported that Huawei would adopt a flip camera design for the Huawei P Smart Z 2020. Because this year's P Smart Z series uses a pop-up selfie camera mechanism, the possibility of its successor featuring a rotating camera is a completely grounded speculation.
