Then, you'll find a 20 -
megapixel monochrome lens, which will be used when taking photos to create sharper images that look better in low light.
The Mate 9 cameras work together the majority of the time, with the
second monochrome lens providing contrast and detail to make your color photos even sharper.
The Mate 10 Pro cameras work together the majority of the time, with the second
monochrome lens providing contrast and detail to make your color photos even sharper.
Also included in the P20 is a 24 - megapixel selfie camera and a dual - lens rear camera featuring a 12 - megapixel color and a 20 -
megapixel monochrome lens.
The dual system pairs a
20MP monochrome lens with a 12MP RGB one, and both have f / 1.6 aperture, the best you'll find in a smartphone.
The Honor View 10 has a pair of camera lenses on the back: An f / 1.8 aperture 16 - megapixel RGB camera, and a 20 - megapixel
monochrome lens with phase detection auto - focus.

monochrome lens on the phone, the Kirin 970 chip uses artificial intelligence (A.I.) to identify common settings and makes adjustments to help you get the best photo.
The regular Nova has basically half of the Huawei P9's camera loadout — a 12 - megapixel sensor behind a f / 2.2 lens with 1.25 - micron pixels — but with no
secondary monochrome lens, nor laser autofocus.
The 20MP
monochrome lens also has a part to play in the overall pictures, as it captures three times as much light information than the RGB sensor (because it has no color filters).
The two camera lenses on the phone's rear, a 13 - megapixel dual RGB color lens with hybrid autofocus (combining contrast, phase detect, and IR laser assist) and a second f / 1
.85 monochrome lens, can shoot videos at 4K 30 fps (or 1080p 60fps / 720p 120 fps) and capture 200 percent more light than the average sensor.
The rear camera is made up of two sensors: A 12 - megapixel, f / 1.6 aperture, RGB color lens with optical image stabilization, plus a 20 - megapixel, f / 1.6
aperture monochrome lens.
Both have a 20MP RGB lens and another
12MP monochrome lens with OIS, phase detection and laser AF, dual - tone LED flash as well as 4K video recording, among other features.
There's a 12MP RGB sensor with f / 1.8 aperture, and a
20MP monochrome lens with a f / 1.6 aperture.
The HUAWEI P20 builds on its predecessor's foundation with a Leica dual camera featuring a 12 MP lens with a pixel size as high as 1.55 μm, and a 20
MP monochrome lens, enhancing the HUAWEI P20's ability to capture photos in low - light settings.
While on some there's one standard and one wide - angle or one standard and one monochromatic, the Honor 7X has one 16 - megapixel color sensor paired with a 2 -
megapixel monochrome lens with phase detection autofocus — purely for capturing lighting and depth information.
The Essential Phone further boasts a dual rear camera setup comprising of a 13 - megapixel color lens and a
secondary monochrome lens, similar to the Huawei P9, Mate 9 and P10.
One of the marquee features of the Mate 10 Pro is the Leica dual - camera setup on the back, which combines a 20 - megapixel
monochrome lens with a 12 - megapixel colour sensor.
The Honor View 10 has an f / 1.8 aperture, 16 - megapixel RGB lens, and a 20 - megapixel
monochrome lens, with phase detection auto - focus.
Huawei is trying to take things to the next level with the P20 Pro by packing in three lenses: There's a 40 - megapixel main lens, an 8 - megapixel telephoto lens, and a 20 - megapixel
monochrome lens.
Used together it captures bokeh - style blurred background shots (like the iPhone's Portrait Mode), while
the monochrome lens on its own takes great looking black and white photos without a filter.
The camera bump contains a 40 - megapixel RGB color lens below an 8 - megapixel telephoto lens, while the lens below the bump is a 20 - megapixel
monochrome lens.
Those ugly camera bumps on the rear contain a 16 - megapixel RGB lens and a 20 - megapixel
monochrome lens, a slightly different setup to the Mate 10 Pro.
The black and white photos are taken with
the monochrome lens.
The primary color shooter is 16 MP, backed by a secondary 20 MP
monochrome lens.
Other devices, such as the Huawei Mate 10, have one RGB color lens and one
monochrome lens.
Together you take better looking images, and you can also use only
the monochrome lens to take some classy - looking black and white shots.
You get a 40MP RGB sensor, 20MP f / 1.6
monochrome lens, and an 8MP f / 2.4 telephoto lens.
The P20 Pro has a 40 - megapixel main camera, a 20 - megapixel
monochrome lens to add richness and detail, and an 8 - megapixel telephoto lens, which helps in taking portrait mode shots and zooming in tight.
The regular Huawei P20 also has a Leica dual camera featuring a 12MP lens with 1.55 μm pixel size and a 20MP
monochrome lens.
If you want a monochrome image you can choose the mono filter, but that's just filtering out the color from a color photo and not using
the monochrome lens.
The camera is comprised of a 20MP
monochrome lens and a 12MP color lens and comes with Optical Imaging Stabilization (OIS) as well as Phase Detection Autofocus, and on the front there's an 8MP AF shooter..
While other phones have mono filters, nothing I have seen beats
the monochrome lens performance on a Huawei Mate 9.
Thanks to the P9, and now the Mate 9, I've really been enjoying the creation of monochrome photos using just the 20 - megapixel
monochrome lens.
The reason behind this betterment is that
the monochrome lens doesn't capture colors, as a result, it can absorb more light photon particles.
Moto G5s Plus gets dual 13MP sensors at the back, where one is
a monochrome lens and the other is RGB sensor.
