Manufacturers are trying to find new and better ways to improve their respective mobile phones. That is why they sometimes resort to alliances with various companies to take charge of developing a unique and special component, as is the case with cameras.
In the market you can find various brands that have joined a photographic firm to implement sensors under their seal. This implies that professionals in this sector are in charge of the development of the device’s sensor system, as has happened with Huawei and Leica in recent years, whose association has meant a notable advance in phones such as the Huawei P50 Pro and its powerful camera. Unfortunately, this union seems to have come to an end. So what was the global technology giant a few years ago must find someone to replace its place.
A veto without effect
The truth is that globally, a large number of alternatives can be found after the break. Of course, we must take into account the discard of those that are American . Mainly, because the veto executed by the United States Government under Trump’s mandate prevents any company from entering into negotiations with Huawei.
Luckily, most of the options that the Chinese brand can bet on belong to another Asian country : Japan. This means that the prohibition does not take effect in this circumstance and that he is free to associate with whoever he wants.
“Many options
Users who have not delved deeply into the world of photography are likely to only know the most reputable, such as Nikon and Canon, but the truth is that Huawei has a choice , since the number of camera brands is quite a lot. extensive.
However, it is to be expected that the Asian company will bet on a quality one such as Leica. Some of them are left out, since they have already established an alliance with other firms . This is the case with Hasselblad with OnePlus or Kodak with OPPO. Anyway, these are the main candidates to replace the first:
- Phase One – Denmark-based corporation specializing in premium range cameras. If they are characterized by something, it is by innovation . In fact, they have come up with their own unique RAW image processing software. For this reason, it would not be expected that they want to enter the world of smartphones.
- Pentax : another of the firms that revolutionized photography with the arrival of the pentaprism . A technology that allowed an image to be reflected without the need to invert it.
Over time, certain companies have taken over other photographic brands, making their collaboration more difficult. It is a fact that those as famous as Canon and Nikon work for others , because if they wanted to enter the telephony sector they would have already done so.
Other options like Sinar should be discarded, as it currently belongs to Leica itself. Olympus , meanwhile, has joined Kodak. This, together with other cases, leads us to make the two mentioned above the best alternatives that Huawei can bet on.
In addition, it must be borne in mind that the same Asian company has been investing in the design of its own camera system for some time. That is why it should not be ruled out that he decides to continue his journey alone.
