Huawei Mate 9 to sport 4X optical zoom, cost up to $1300
After branding the P9 with Leica, the company recently entered a partnership with the renowned German optics enterprise for mobile cameras, and we might see the first fruits of this collaboration in none other than the Mate 9/Pro. Given that the phablet is expected to sport a dual camera config, with the "Leica" stamp between the two lenses, we'd wager to guess that the eventual 4x zoom might be achieved in a similar fashion to the one on the iPhone 7 Plus - using a "telephoto" lens that is situated higher than the wide-angle main one to zoom in.
The setup looks similar to the one on the P9, and even Leica's "Summarit-H 1:2.2/27 ASPH" lens description is featured prominently on the side. What else will be in there to justify that pricing, remains to be seen.
Snap (no pun intended): Mate 9/Pro feature 4x optical zoom. But pricing on a spec'ed out Pro is enough to give you a heart attack: $1300.
