HONOR is reportedly testing four OmniVision image sensors spanning main, periscope telephoto and front-facing cameras. The most advanced candidate is said to be the 200MP OVB0D, a large LOFIC-equipped sensor that could target the 1x-to-2x focal-length range. Tipster Digital Chat Station links the testing program to the Magic 10 series, although neither the phones nor their camera configurations have been confirmed by HONOR.
- OVB0D: a 200MP, 1/1.12-inch sensor with LOFIC technology, reportedly being considered for a main camera covering the 1x-to-2x range.
- OV52F: a 200MP, 1/1.55-inch sensor that could serve as a main-camera option in upper-midrange and premium devices.
- OV64D: a 64MP, 1/2-inch sensor reportedly intended for a periscope telephoto camera.
- OV68F: a 68MP front-facing sensor with a native square format.
The OVB0D would be the standout component if the reported specifications hold up. LOFIC, or lateral overflow integration capacitor technology, is designed to provide additional charge capacity in very bright image areas, helping reduce highlight clipping in high-contrast scenes. The sensor has been reported with a 400,000-electron full-well capacity, 108 dB dynamic range and second-generation dual-conversion-gain technology.
The square OV68F sensor could give HONOR more flexibility to crop both portrait and landscape compositions from a phone held vertically. Its 68MP resolution may also support reframing, though the practical result would depend on the company’s camera software and final implementation.
A Magic 10 connection remains speculative. The series is expected in 2027, following the Magic9 generation. HONOR’s Magic9 Pro Max already uses two 200MP cameras—a 1/1.28-inch main sensor and a 1/1.4-inch telephoto sensor—and includes ARRI video collaboration. The key unanswered question is which, if any, of the OmniVision sensors will reach the next Magic flagship lineup.
