On the imaging end, the Mate X7 features a redesigned camera module, which houses a 50MP primary sensor with an f/1.4-f/4.0 variable aperture, OIS, and RYYB filter array. In addition to the main camera, this module sports a 50MP ultrawide shooter, and a 50MP periscope telephoto lens with 3.5x optical zoom. Meanwhile, both front cameras are 8MP units.
