Huawei breaks the unexpected by rewriting the rules of Smartphone Photography by unveiling the Huawei P9 series. Held at SM Megamall Fashion Hall last April, 13, 2019, fans of the brand have been amaze by the awesome specs of the new P30 and P30 Pro. Sporting a Leica Quad Camera System, the P30 Pro’s four lenses are each remarkable on their own but together work to produce stunning images with a little effort on the user’s end.
Four times the Imaging Power
Each of the lenses in the Quad Camera System performs in a different capacity in a variety of shooting situations. First, the 40Mp SuperSpectrum Sensor replaces the traditional RGGB filter with a RYYB one, which lets in 40% more light (and higher maximum ISO) to produce exceptional night-time shots.
Second, the SuperZoom lens enables 5x lossless optical zoom, 10x hybrid zoom and 60x digital zoom for tremendous magnification capabilities. To achieve this, the lens uses a prism to bend light at 90 degrees – periscope-like- for superior zooming performance in tandem with the Dual Optical Image Stabilisation (OIS) feature.
Third on the list is the ToF (Time of Flight) Camera for unparalleled depth of field effects during portrait photography. The ToF lens is capable of segmenting even the finest details like hair strands from backgrounds to produce beautiful bokeh shots every time.
Lastly, the Ultra Wide Angle Lens provide an enhanced field of view for landscape and architecture shots, even doubling as a macro lens capable of closely focusing on subjects 2.5 cm away. Rounding out the P30 Pro’s camera performance is AI-enhanced and Optical Image Stabilization on the main and telephoto lenses, enabling tripod-free long exposure shots, and other slow shutter -speed capture effects.
Visually, the HUAWEI P30 series redefines smartphone design yet again with a set of new color options that reflect the planet’s mesmerizing geography: Breathing Crystal, Aurora and Black. Of course, powering the new devices is the blazing fast Kirin 980 processor with 8GB of RAM, paired with EMUI 9.1 and a robust 4,200 mAH (typical value) battery.
