The Honor View 10 Phone

I think it's very interesting that the Honor View 10 will include a 20 megapixel black and white sensor; I'm assuming that it's got better resolving power than a Bayer filter (duh). I was also wondering if this phone in particular will have the hot mirror removed and be a full spectrum camera?! If so, that would be sweet! Just put an f/1.2 lens on the phone, and I'll almost be sold on it! If you're wondering exactly what I'm talking about, then here it goes: cameras with a bayer filter, which is basically a grid of colored cells that usually make up a camera sensor, are great at regular photography, using the visible (RGB) spectrum of light. However, basically, the dyes that are used for making the bayer filter array block some light beyond the visible spectrum from entering the sensor; and to further make things more difficult, there's a hot mirror, which is a filter that filters out IR and UV light, that is situated in front of the camera sensor. Additionally, the optics might also block specific wavelengths of light. Once the Bayer filter is carefully removed, then you end up with higher sensitivity for UV and IR light, even though the camera can then only see in black and white. Another advantage to this technique is that the camera then gains extra resolution. So if a camera comes out, and hopefully it does, that has this type of modification done to it, I would be pleasantly surprised! That would be pretty much astounding. Imagine if, in the future, the optics were made up of a single metalens that could focus the entire electromagnetic spectrum! into a very narrow band, or wavelength of light! Technology is becoming more interesting, even if it does seem to go by slowly sometimes, although I'm ready for these new discoveries to be applied to consumer tech so that I can use the technology.
