[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] mudnightoil:
The 10MP output looks a lot better than anything on the market, including your S8 and S9.

It has 40MP because that's the sensor's native resolution. This sensor is used in cameras usually, not phones ... and they have far more sophisticated metering, lenses and dedicated image processing hardware, and can make some use of the 40MP - albeit even then the images usually look far better at a lower multiple of the native resolution, or downscaled. Dynamic range is far better - also seen on the P20 Pro.

[IMG="P20 Pro image sensor."]https://i.imgur.com/Y1VhTPl.jpg[/IMG]

But we're not going to get anything that compares even vaguely well to a half decent camera until we go to larger sensors still, or multi sensor arrays. As I said elsewhere, at least one major smartphone maker is working on a prototype of a phone with a 1" sensor ... whether it sees the light of day will possibly depend on how many units the P20 Pro sells.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] isko01:
Thx for you a answer :)

So they are not possibility to make with update 40mp much better, or good like 10 mp?

I think if they put better pixel, better sensors like they put and 40mp camera then we can take big photo with very good details when zoom in photo, and very good quality photo. I aspect to see much much much better photo then S9+, pixel xl 2, iphon x... with so much better shadows, lights, and etc...

So 40mp is jusy marketing trick?
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] mudnightoil:
What do you want 40MP output for? It's highly unlikely you need 10MP.

You realise 4K is 8MP? Assuming you don't have an 8K TV or monitor yet (33MP)?

How many people do large, super high DPI prints of mobile phone photos ... not many I'd wager.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] gavinfabl:
40mp images. Shot in raw. Say no more. These are amazing.

https://twitter.com/UmihitoTV/status/978969506679853056

10mp is excellent for nearly everything. When you want more, go raw and you’ve got best of both worlds.

---------- Post added at 07:49 ---------- Previous post was at 07:42 ----------

I currently have a Samsung S9+ and have been taking some amazing shots with it. Epic shots. See this post

https://gavinsgadgets.com/2018/03/26/soussons-forest-dartmoor-national-park-shot-on-the-samsung-s9/

and https://gavinsgadgets.com/2018/03/2...om-the-samsung-galaxy-s9-featuring-snow-dogs/

So as far as I’m concerned, the P20 Pro has to be better than all of these types of shots. I did have the Huawei Mate 10 Pro that took some amazing pics too. So what I have decided to do, is to focus heavily on the Huawei P20 Pro when it arrives and create very specific and detailed posts on it , including the camera with lots of tips too.

I am fairly confident the P20 Pro will be better from the samples already shared that I’m selling my S9+, even though I actually really like it.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] isko01:
Waooo you got very good photo. Did you make all in RAW rhen edit or?
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] gavinfabl:
The shots shown in the linked posts were shot all in auto.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] isko01:
Waooo even with same sensors and all camera hardwer like S8, S9 make much better photos then S8.

P20 Pro have much batter senzor nmand pixel from today competition, did this mean P20Pro will have better photos (take better photos) then S9+, pixel Xl2 and etc? With more light, shadows, details and etc?
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] gavinfabl:
I’m expecting the P20 Pro to be a lot better. And the creative options are huge.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] dyepnoodle:
does anyone here knows which camera sensor huawei is using for the pro? is it sony imx or a different one?
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Goronok:
Someone earlier mentioned it is a Panasonic sensor
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] jonmorris:
Think back to the PureView tech. On that I believe the camera produced a 5 or 8MP image. In most cases that's the mode you used, even though you could go for the full-sized image. That often had a lot more noise, as the whole point of the 40MP is to use the data from 4 pixels to produce a cleaner 10MP image.

I took a few 40MP images but Google scales it down to 16MP on high-resolution mode (the mode I've chosen as otherwise I'd quickly use up all my storage) so at some point, I'll take a few more and host them elsewhere to share.

Frankly, we've moved on from playing the numbers game where more pixels is anything people cared about. 40MP here is purely to allow Huawei to do its clever stuff (especially the AI assisted night mode) and not just to sound better than the competition, even though I'm sure that's a rather good side-effect for the marketing department!

There are a lot more photos added to the gallery today, including some more from other people who attended the launch.

I am yet to experiment with RAW and the pro mode, and I do wonder if I'll need to as it is such a good phone for just picking up and shooting, letting the phone do its work. The scene detection works very well, although occasionally it may pick a mode you think isn't what you wanted to capture (e.g. a building where it goes for 'blue sky mode' to boost the colour of the sky) although it doesn't ruin the photo. Plus you can turn it off if you prefer. I don't see any need to yet.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] uzadragos:
hey [MENTION=4607210]jonmorris[/MENTION],

How's the dynamic range compared with the pixel 2/galaxy s9? Maybe, if you own one of them you could post some comparison pictures :).

Since the last few AA updates have made Unlocking the phone easier for passengers, and drivers, I have noticed that my phone is damned near unusable in this state.This lagfest lasts for ~30-60 seconds after disconnecting the phone cable as well. Everything is fine in terms of Nav or Google Play Music streaming on the head unit, but trying to swipe notifications or scroll through Facebook/Twitter/Instagram is a hard no go. Anyone else experiencing this?

I have a stock, unrooted Pixel 2 XL running Android 8.1 and the March patch level. Android Auto v3.1 connected to a 2018 Acura TLX with the Technology Package.

I'm based in UK so I don't know so much about American networks. However I didn't think Verizon used SIM cards? My understanding is that this phone only works via aim cards?

[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] duraaraa:
To answer your question, data will work on verizon in some areas, but voice won't. Same with all Huawei flagships of late.

Your only hope would be rooting and perhaps enabling VoLTE on verizon, in which case there's a small chance you could get it working.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] eoga:
Verizon uses the SIM card only for 4g data, LTE, but for voice it still uses CDMA. I really don't understand why Verizon and Sprint continue using this system, they seem to be the only one in the world with China and maybe some other areas, but most of the countries rely fully on GSM for both data and voice. This is the reason why the p20 pro will only work for data on Verizon but not for voice unless, and just maybe, you use a Chinese version I think the L00 model that uses CDMA too.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] oneandroidnut:
Very interesting because the U11 doesn't have cdma either but voice works on it over LTE. If we could get that on the P20 we would be in business
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] eoga:
You are right. It seems like now Verizon is trying to use only services through LTE like VOLTE and is trying to turn off its old cdma network.

https://www.androidheadlines.com/2017/06/htc-u11-can-used-verizon-even-without-cdma-support.html

Even though it seems like for this the cellphones need to go through Verizon approval and they are not 100% functional like it would be with ATT and Tmobile, which network is 100% GSM/LTE. You can see on the link below that the phone was only approved to use one band on Verizon which could cause really poor service.

https://community.verizonwireless.com/thread/942418

Knowing this and all the issue between Huawei and EEUU government I seriously doubt this approval would happen, but who knows.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] oneandroidnut:
On the U11 it had 2 of the 3 verizon LTE bands I think it was missing 13 maybe? If i could get 2 out of the 3 bands to work on the P20 Pro I would probably try it
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] eoga:
I think you missed the point in the last link I posted. There it is mentioned that the cell phone has most of Verizon bands if not all but only 13 was authorized to be used and this was what causes many of the issues with the U11 on Verizon network.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] oneandroidnut:
My pixel says NONVZW on my verizon website and works fine maybe I will get p20 pro or mi mix 2s and try it and see
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] eoga:
Your Pixel says NONVZW because it was not bought directly on Verizon but it is a cell phone that is configured to work on both GSM and CDMA including full compatibility with Verizon so it shouldn't be considered as the same than P20 pro but if you still want to do it go ahead and good luck.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Time of Awakening:
Anytime the same discussion. Thia phone is not official supported by Verizon. It will work on GSM Based Networks. But not on CDMA.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Kawar3:
guy your wrong

who ever said the US did not have sims is right.

at one point in time the cdma guys did not have a sim card and in some phones still to this day out there they may or may not have a sim. if the person buying the phone gets bull **** from the sales person and buys a locked phone good changes are they may or may not have a sim.

now update to this day.

most if not all companys here have a sim now. they were forced by company's over seas and other gsm company's here being cheaper and no locking you down to a pay over 2 year plan that you more or less are selling a kid to the company to pay the bill.

but I love the fact that we get sims now. If they tryed to pull that bull **** with me now lol.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] oneandroidnut:
Ummm I have had a sim card for 10 years now in a smartphone but we don't have them oh ok sure buddy i mean 50 years ago we didnt have sim cards or internet lol
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] State.of.mind:
What was the outcome of this discussion? OP, did you ever get to work?
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] loki993:
It's got nothing to do with that. CDMA does not require a sim, never has. LTE is what the sim is for because LTE is actually a GSM technology.

I dont know alot about the U11 but from what I could see from a quick search it actually does have all the Verizon LTE bands including 13. 13 is the most important one because its verizon main LTE band.

Guess which band the P20 pro doesn't have...13. It probably will not work and even if you could somehow manage to get it to. it probably wouldn't be a very good expensive, but if you want to spend 700 bucks to try to prove us all wrong more power to you.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] CraigP17:
unless you didnt get a mobile phone until like 6-7 years ago...you would know that prior to that Verizon was primarily only CDMA and DID NOT USE SIM CARDS.

you are simply showing your age or lack of experience with mobile phones when you assume Verizon has always had sim cards...which is simply not true.

would you share your method to injecting some script from rc files?

i've tried some old method without success, just trying to get root without magisk patched boot, need to sent neccesary files inside /root, /system/xbin/ and /vendor , then adding custom rc to run the services.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Questions & Answers] MartinX3:
At the moment, you can't even with an unlocked bootloader boot manipulated boot.img

[Sony Xperia XZ2 Questions & Answers] serajr:
Things we're used to do with boot.img rc files, we're now able to do the same with some specific system/vendor rc files.

The easiest way to get root is indeed with magisk manager patching method I've already stated.

My script does need root prior to mess with these system/vendor rc files, so I think it won't help you out as you'd like to!
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Questions & Answers] kevin168:
i've tried to patch with magisk boot, root is working.

could you share you modified rc script? i can't find any working method to inject custom files into /system or system/vendor partition.

my goal is to injecting some files into /system when startup, because no working twrp version until now.

i just thinking to write some files into system directly from boot partition, then after the first boot success.

we write 2nd boot image files that include modified .rc files to startup root daemon.

thank's in advance.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Questions & Answers] serajr:
Yeah, root does work with magisk's method!!

Sony ric is no longer part of the firmware, so we can easily remount vendor and/or system partitions as rw, and then perform any file editing/replacing.

Eg, editing rc files at /vendor, like

/vendor/etc/init/hw/init.qcom.rc

(which is triggered by /init.rc at system boot time), you will need these lines in a .sh file (copy the .sh file to the /data/local/tmp/ and set it proper perms):

#!/system/bin/sh

# Mount /vendor as r/w
mount -orw,remount /vendor

# Patch init.qcom.rc
if [ -f /vendor/etc/init/hw/init.qcom.rc.original ]; then
rm -f /vendor/etc/init/hw/init.qcom.rc
cp /vendor/etc/init/hw/init.qcom.rc.original /vendor/etc/init/hw/init.qcom.rc
fi
rm -f /vendor/etc/init/hw/init.qcom.rc.original
cp /vendor/etc/init/hw/init.qcom.rc /vendor/etc/init/hw/init.qcom.rc.original

>>> PERFORM ALL EDITINGS YOU NEED IN THE FILE HERE <<<

chcon u:object_r:vendor_configs_file:s0 /vendor/etc/init/hw/init.qcom.rc

# Mount /vendor as r/o
mount -oro,remount /vendor

exit 0

Run the .sh file as root, and voila!

Just bought my first ever Android H8296. I followed the instructions to unlock as my Sim 2 doesn't work when SD card is inserted and I saw somewhere root can make it work. After the unlock last night my important apps have stopped working like camera and Android Pay and backup. Don't know what to do now as I don't know how to root. It's hard to find a root instruction that is easy to follow.... ???
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Questions & Answers] MartinX3:
You are confusing me hardly.

You can't use a sdcard and a second sim card at the same time.

They use the same hardware spot, root won't do anything.

Unlocking the bootloader deletes the DRM keys, which deactivates some device functions.

*At the moment* there is no way to fix that.

Please follow the TWRP thread.

There you will see the progress of twrp, aosp and DRM, which will repair your cam.

But the camera quality shouldn't be 100% the same as before.

And we need to wait for the September stock update or even longer.
