We’re witnessing a photographic revolution. As quiet and progressive as it is dreadful. After the transition from analogue to digital, a revolution with mobile photography is taking place. Even if some think it’s not photography, it’s becoming clearer every day than it is, that there are great photographers who work with mobile phones and they excite as much or more than those they capture with an SLR. Just like the Samsung S9 did with the opening, the Huawei P20 in its Pro version goes further and features a smartphone with triple rear camera.
We have already discussed it on occasion, we do not know if we buy phones with camera or cameras with built-in phones. This new huawei model has revolutionized and that’s what we’re going to tell you, because you want it (or you can) buy it or not, as a photography fan, you need to know and know what such a small thing is capable of;).
- We will focus.
- Both on this Pro version and on the P20.
- On the most basic general features and those of the camera.
- Because that’s what interests us most here.
For you to see what a zoom in does, keep in mind that in this case, it is not the typical digital zoom that smartphones bring, that only increase the image and are reframed with its consequent pixelation, but it is a hybrid system, a different system that we do not need to count here technically. All you need to know is that it offers quality that has nothing to do with digital zoom.
I leave you some images taken in different situations, and if you want to see more, check here.
It is the zoom increase in this version, it is the same type of zoom as in the professional but with less magnification:
The Huawei P20 and P20 Pro camera uses AI technology to recognize the subject in real time and automatically adjust the camera settings to get the perfect photo. Although it does not have a per se stabilizer, its AI technology also provides better image stabilization and with great clarity, it is even possible to take night or low light photos without a tripod thanks to its night mode. It also has facial recognition to create a beautiful bokeh and optimize lighting. It offers an unchanged shutter to capture the fastest images. And talking, about being fast, you can take a picture (with the screen off) in 0. 3 seconds.
If we talk about zooming, it can reach up to 10 boosts in the pro version, although its maximum efficiency is up to five magnifications, which is the extent to which your hybrid system works, beyond that it will be a simple digital trimming. we don’t recommend at all.
Not bad for a reason, is it? That said, it looks like two little things, but if you analyze it, it reinforces at an impressive level all the weaknesses of the mobile cameras, the blur, the low light photos, the shooting speed, the zoom?I think it clearly marks a before and after, don’t you think?
The most noteworthy thing about Huawei is that its objectives are Leica, which is a guarantee against the lenses of other smartphones, among the advantages of its camera are the terminals that offer very good performance in low light conditions, a camera super slow to 960. fps, the super hybrid zoom 5x in the pro version to approach the scene, on the other hand, Huawei does not skimp on the front cameras (yes, that of selfies) and in both versions offer 24 MP and an f/2. 0 aperture, as well as the facial recognition that we have already told you about.
If we add to that the resistance to dust and water in the Pro version (up to 1 meter deep), it certainly becomes tempting, doesn’t it, now, as far as water is concerned?It’s one thing to accidents, or does rainwater fall and it’s another thing to dare overwhelm it, is it a very risky decision that everyone has to decide whether to take it or not?
That is, but for those who want to carry their terminal in perfect condition, they should keep in mind that the material is glass and that the fingerprints are marked, that is fine, if you are going to take it without lid without problem. , if not? Get used to them;).
Now, the slightly more serious inconveniences? It does not have Micro SD input, although it has enough internal memory: 115GB for the user (128 in total), for some users this is a major obstacle, nor does it have a standard headphone port (including those in the box that match the USB port and an adapter for which you have). As you’ll see, are these disadvantages more or less recoverable?
Actually, the biggest drawback of this smartphone is the price, which is not within reach of many pockets, but if you can afford it, the Huawei P20 Pro is now probably the best option offered by the mobile phone market in terms of photographic results. .
The two versions are very similar in general terms, although, of course, you have to justify the price difference and the fact of offering a Pro version, and that’s what I’ll tell you now, the main differences are:
If you are going to opt for this phone for its photographic ability, it is worth opting for the Pro version, because as far as photography is concerned, that is where the differences are most appreciated and if you doubt between the Samsung S9 and this, the users. agree that in video samsung surpasses it (except in slow motion) and in photography, especially at night, Huawei takes the lead. Depending on your needs, you can choose one or the other.
What is clear is that Huawei, which started as an economical alternative, has become a place (deserved) in the high-end, and photographically speaking, it has nothing to envy of the rest of the big brands with a lot of fame behind them. model has come to trampl.
If you found it useful, don’t forget to share it!You know that all photographers would like to have it ?. Thank you for your time and until next time.
