what's up guys long hair from Android Authority and welcome back to another episode of camera 360 on this show we attempt to break down a smartphone camera in about three minutes time we're gonna give you the gist of everything that you need to know while keeping everything short and sweet we're gonna talk about the camera app its features and of course the image quality today's smartphone is the honor view 20 so let's go ahead and dive right in alright so as a quick refresher let's go over the camera specs the honor view Tony has a 48 megapixel primary rear sensor that's paired with a 3d time-of-flight sensor the front facing shooter is 25 megapixels and has an aperture of f2 now that we've gotten that out of the way let's take a look at the camera app and see what it has to offer if you've used any other recent honor or huawei device you'll know exactly what to expect here the camera app is very straight forward which makes it super simple and easy to get around the shutter button is dead center along the bottom and is flanked by a camera rotation and image preview button on either side switching between the different modes such as portrait photo video night mode or AR lens can be done by simply swiping across the viewfinder like you can on most other smartphone camera apps there's also a more section for many other specialized features including a manual pro mode slow motion panorama light painting HDR and more like most smartphone cameras the honor of u-20 performs very well in bright conditions images are very well balanced with good detail in the shadows and pretty uniform exposure across the board photos are sometimes a tad on the underexposed side but nothing too major colors overall are punchy but not oversaturated and skies have a nice bright blue to them to make the images really pop the view 20 does an excellent job of enhancing the image without making the colors look unnatural or fake the level of detail that the view 20 is able to capture is also quite sharp there's no smudging or clarity loss when you take a closer look in this example if you zoom in on the wood you can still see the texture between the cracks this next image here there's no motion blur from the movement of the airplane and the plane itself retains a lot of its own detail there's a lot going on in this image here but you can still easily zoom in and make out plenty of detail including being able to still read these small price tags on the items in terms of HDR the view Tonys HDR processing is not very aggressive but that isn't necessarily a bad thing the view 20 has good dynamic range already that it doesn't need much help and it's more natural HDR image processing means photos don't look over processed you still get plenty of detail in shadowy areas as you can see in this image here and you can still see a lot of the texture that's on this wooden Wells Fargo box the honor 320 is an equally fantastic shooter in low light especially if you lean on its built in night mode which works incredibly well with night mode enabled you're gonna be able to get shots that have more detail better exposure and a heck of a lot less noise despite some of these shots being taken in extremely dark conditions the results were very clean and impressively sharp the front-facing camera is great in terms of its resolution giving you plenty of room to zoom crop and reframe your images but these selfies don't necessarily go above and beyond you get nice exposure and good color but details aren't super sharp due to the skin softening it isn't super aggressive and there are some worst offenders out there but it is noticeable as for video the view 20 doesn't do much to blow you away frame rate is capped at 30fps when you're shooting at 1080p or 4k which means you won't be able to slow the footage down without it getting choppy but it does do well in terms of image stabilization even when shooting at 4k it's also pretty good at making colors pop and does fairly well with balancing exposure although it can be a little spotty at times overall we gave the honor view xx a score of 8.4 8 out of 10 if you want to find out why make sure to check out the written version linked in the description below which covers the camera much more in depth and provides a more detailed breakdown of the overall score if you want to see the full resolution images for yourself we'll also have that link below as well all thanks for watching and we'll see you guys in the next episode of camera 360
