We check Huawei might have three in-house CMOS sensors in Y2023 pipeline, leveraging XMC and its own fabs.
October 20, 2023
Key Takeaways:
- Huawei is developing three in-house CMOS sensors for its smartphones in 2024, aiming to localize its CIS supply chain.
- One sensor is expected to be mass-produced in 3Q23, the additional two sensors may enter the Engineering Sample stage in 4Q23.
- Huawei may leverage XMC and its own facilities for sensor fabrication, with all three sensors having a 50MP resolution.
- While the sensor may be tested for compatibility with OmniVision and Smartsens’ solutions, it may not become the main source for Huawei's smartphones until at least 2025.
