    The raw converted to jpeg without edit on Lightroom:

    and that on every single raw I take, same thing with mate 10 pro. At least, the camera is far better than the mate 10 pro that was really, really wrong. So on final thought, no need so much to edit raw on P30Pro. But this vignet effect is still boring when you want less processed photo than the jpeg does.

Clear center, then sides that go quickly dark. If you have one and don't notice this, well, dunno what to say. Sometimes it's less noticeable due to luminosity, but most of the time it's here.
        My P30 pro will just go back to the seller using the 14 days trial. I will not replace my mate 10 with another huawei, the photo process is just not for me and there are no other difference than the camera. Even if the telephoto is really impressive.

I messed up with your nicknames, sorry.

                      But the vignet effect that is a really bad side effect of lens, is still not a thing of my opinion, it's just here. I know Leica can do good lens, it's a shame they only relly on post process to correct the shot.
                      I just wanted to say the kind of photo are really not alike the old nokia phone, far less natural, more sharpened, with far stronger noise reduction and contrast, resulting in a water/oïl painting effect. So I disagree when you say the people from Nokia at Huawey are continuing the good job they did before.

But people tastes have changed, they do not want to make real life looking photo anymore, they are more afraid we could see the little spot on their skin :/

                            Plus the Leica lens used by huawei are really shitty compared to the Zeiss one from nokia, Raw are not usable at all due to the strong blue vignet effect (I hoped that the P30pro will not have it, but still there). And yes, I have a huawei because I really liked the brand and still like EMUI a lot, but I can't do anything better than "social media photo" with the camera.

                              Yet still no any notification LED for regular P30... At least some animation around the teardrop... 660 € phone doesn't have primitive basic function that any other budget device has.

                                    But, Samsung's implementation used one back and one front camera.

                                    Huawei's feature is totally different.

                                    But both the implementations are very cool amd useful at times. I wish they bring it to my Honor 8X in some form.
