The Huawei P30 Pro is the latest offering from the Chinese Smartphone manufacturer Huawei. It’s their latest flagship that follows the Huawei P20 released last year. Emphasis on camera has been put on this device that has made many reviewers rank on top of it’s competition. In fact, DXOMARK scores put it above all others flagship phones available. In these score specifically, there are two Huawei phones namely; Huawei Mate 20 Pro and Huawei P20 Pro taking the next top two positions followed by the previous released Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus. This goes to show how impressive Huawei phones have gotten in the camera department.
Huawei P30 Pro features a Quad camera set-up at the back, meaning four cameras vertically aligned on top of the other. The one on the top has a massive wide 27mm 40 mega-pixel sensor with f/1.6 aperture. In the middle is a ultra-wide 16mm 20 mega-pixel sensor with f/2.2 aperture. And the one at the bottom a Periscope 125mm 8 mega-pixel telephoto lens with f/3.4 aperture with a massive 5x optical zoom and Optical Image Stabilization. This third sensor is the first of it’s kind to find it’s way in a smartphone. Most smartphones with a telephoto lens have been known to have a 2x optical zoom. This device exceeds that by taking clear photo at a further distance using this sensor.
The fourth camera sensor is a Time-of-Flight 3D depth sensor that has made it’s way on a few of flagship phones released recently. It’s purpose is to gather more detail about the object being shot.
