last year huawei unveiled one of the
first phones with a triple camera the
Huawei p20 Pro this phone established
Huawei as one of the top mobile camera
makers and this year Huawei is upping
the ante with a quadruple camera the
Huawei p30 pro is a versatile and
powerful shooter that uses its four
cameras to get the best picture out of
any scene looking on the back of the
phone the p30 pro standard camera is in
the middle of the main module it's a 40
megapixel F 1.6 camera that uses pixel
binning which means it will save images
at a 10 megapixel resolution this helps
with getting more light and detail from
the scene the standard lens will be the
one you'll want to use in most shooting
situations beneath this lens Huawei uses
a new type of sensor dubbed super
spectrum this is a red yellow blue
sensor or ryb whereas most cameras have
red green blue or RGB sensors by
swapping the green pixels for yellow
pixels the sensor can capture additional
light up to 40% more according to wall
way getting more light is crucial for
low-light photography if you need to
capture a large subject from up close
you'll want to use these super wide
angle lens at the top of the module this
20 megapixel camera is perfect for group
shots landscape shots or the like it has
optical image stabilization which will
help with handheld and low-light shots
the coolest camera on the Huawei P 30
pro is the telephoto if you look at it
up close you'll see the lens is square
that's because this piece of glass is
actually a prism that rotates light at
90 degrees just like in a periscope
by doing this Huawei was able to fit
even more lenses inside the body of the
phone the result is the ability to zoom
in optically up to 5x combining the
standard and telephoto lenses the p30
Pro can hit up to 10x lossless hybrid
zoom which is very impressive for a
smartphone with digital zoom the p30 pro
can hit up to 50 X total zoom which is
way more than other phones the Huawei P
30 pro also has a small time-of-flight
sensor placed below the flash the way
this works is the phone radiates
infrared light from its flood
illuminator
which is this black window near the
flash the sensor then calculates the
time needed for the race to bounce back
thanks to this feature the p30 probe can
see how close objects are and create a
more pleasing bokeh effect finally on
the front you get a 32 megapixel camera
for selfies while we pack the p30 pro
with AI features to make the most of the
powerful hardware there's a I powered
HDR plus a I enhanced portrait mode and
improved night mode and a our
measurement tool and the ability to
shoot video from two cameras at once
this last feature could be great for
shooting a ballgame for instance we go
into detail about the Huawei p3 pro
camera on the website including an
in-depth explanation of the periscope
design and the new ryb sensor make sure
