The two image sensors that make up the dual camera are 12 - megapixels and 8 - megapixels, and it's believed they'll be able to produce
detailed bokeh images like the iPhone 7.

As with previous high - end Huawei smartphones, the monochrome camera serves several purposes: it helps with depth estimation for the simulated
bokeh effect, and the fine
detail and low noise levels of the monochrome sensor improve
image quality when zooming and in low light.
A 1/2.3 ″ main RGB sensor is paired with a 1/2.78 ″ monochrome chip, and
image data from both cameras is computationally merged to create a background blurring
bokeh effect, reduce noise, and increase
image detail and dynamic range.
Like the P9, the RGB sensor captures the colors in a scene while the monochrome sensor enhances the
detail and this means the Mate 9 is capable of capturing
images with a very impressive
bokeh effect.
Other key strengths in still
image mode include very good exposures and HDR
images, accurate color rendering, good
detail with low noise, as well as a natural - looking
bokeh effect in Portrait mode.
As well as enabling true monochrome shooting and adding
detail to blended RGB / mono shots, the 20MP secondary camera supplies depth information for
bokeh - style
images.
Our review of the Galaxy Note 8 will offer
detailed information on the phone's camera, but for those wondering how the Note 8 does at capturing those
bokeh images with its dual camera, we've put together a few samples.
Details from both these sensors are combined to produce sharp
images with depth /
bokeh effect.
