If you thought the iPhone 12 Pro or Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra had a big camera bump, wait till you see the upcoming Huawei P50 and Huawei P50 Pro.
The dual rear camera, located in a massive bump on the rear side of the phone, has lenses that are comically big.
Just look at the thing: it looks as if someone took standard smartphone camera lenses and increased their size threefold.

These aren’t official photos; they’re renders, courtesy of @OnLeaks/Voice, based on rumored information. The two renders above are of the Huawei P50; the same leaker published the (quite similar) renders of the Huawei P50 Pro (below) a day ago.
And here’s the Huawei P50 Pro.

Not all the details about these phones are known, but they’re rumored to measure 6.3 and 6.6 inches in size, respectively, with a centered, single punch-hole style selfie camera on the front.
On the back, the Huawei P50 might get the first-ever 1-inch mobile camera sensor (possibly Sony’s IMX800), though other details about those humongous cameras are absent. According to other reports, the Huawei P50 and the P50 Pro will be powered by Huawei’s Kirin 9000 chipset.
Huawei is known for producing some of the best cameraphones around, but the company’s been seriously hampered by a U.S. trade ban that prohibited it from shipping smartphones with Android and Google apps. Reports say the new P50 devices will run Huawei’s HarmonyOS out of the box.
