Huawei P30 Pro: Cameras
Taking forward its pedigree of impressive photography capabilities, the Huawei P30 Pro ups the ante against some of the best smartphone cameras in its rivalry. Even though it is not the first smartphone decked with four cameras, it is surely the one which takes things to an impressive level. The Huawei P30 Pro makes its mark by being the first commercially available smartphone to feature a periscopic setup to facilitate 5X telephoto capabilities and up to 50X effective zoom – all this without sacrificing its thin profile. In the SuperZoom mode, Huawei also employs OIS to make sure that slight movements of your hand do not blur or shake the image.
Besides the SuperZoom setup, the Huawei P30 Pro is equipped with a 40MP RYYB “SuperSpectrum” sensor with a large f/1.6 aperture. The wide aperture along with higher sensitivity for yellow light allows for significantly more light to fall on the sensor, allowing greater details even in low light conditions. Huawei says that the camera can capture more light than your eyes, even while using the smartphone in the auto mode. It also features a much wider ISO range (50-409600) than seen on most smartphones and even some entry-level DSLR cameras.

Then, there’s a 20MP ultra-wide sensor with a 107° field of view which lets you capture a vast and euphoric field of view without resulting in any observable fish-eye effect. This can be vital if you’re clicking a big group of friends or trying the capture the artistic details of a magnificent monument. This sensor also provides for “Super Macro” shots from as near as 25 mm, letting you click the minutest details in objects like a flower, a grain, a rock, an insect –  or whatever commands your imagination but evades your eyes.

Additionally, there is a time of flight (ToF) sensor which is touted to work in tandem with the onboard NPU to produce surreal portraits and well-defined bokeh shots. The sensor will also come in handy for AR applications like contact-less measurements and will refine the results in case of ARCore apps and games. Besides that, the ToF camera will also let you play motion-controlled games, just like an Xbox Kinect sensor.

The dewdrop notch on the front houses a 32MP selfie camera which supports auto HDR and a host of beautification features. However, compared to earlier Huawei and Honor phones, the skin tones in the selfies turn out to be pretty realistic rather than washed out as they did before.

While it will be unfair to condense P30 Pro’s camera performance into solid opinions about the Huawei P30 Pro’s cameras, I have formed some (limber) opinions about its performance. For the ease of understanding, I would emphasize on the principal features which Huawei promises to ace with this smartphone and will be leaving the other – although equally important – parts for the full camera review. All of these images have been unedited and untouched from what was clicked using the smartphone.

Huawei P30 Pro: Great features to complement outstanding cameras
The cameras on the Huawei P30 Pro are not ordinary in any sense. In fact, my initial impressions compel me that these quad-cameras are extraordinary. But besides the camera, the P30 Pro also packs in the latest and the most powerful processor from the company, 8GB of RAM, a striking display, and an enormous 256GB storage. These features totally justify the premium pricing which is in the ballpark of the prices of Samsung Galaxy S10 and the Pixel 3 XL. While I feel convinced that the P30 Pro has a lot of features aside from its gorgeous appearance to justify this pricing, I intend to evaluate it further in a detailed camera review.
