      Lol. When this comes out, the Mate 20 Pro will have a worse cameras than before. I mean, they'll send updates which will degrade the camera quality of the previous high end models to make the newer ones look as of an improvement. Yes, they nerf their own cameras! Sounds insane but its true.

        Emui is terrible and they do not allow us to change it. No matter how hardware is good on the next phone, software is below average. 4K video on my mate 20 pro is mediocre at the best. No more Huawei !!!

                    Size, what will force many people to choose S10e over P30? P30 Pro and X1, not the price.

                      Nokia N93 with 3x optical zoom had a very strong light fall at maximum zoom. Only in very strong sunlight it worked acceptable. Optical zoom requires big lenses, big image sensor and a large camera room.

                              Anonymous, 05 Mar 2019Very soft walls ... This periscope ( 90 degrees sensor) ... moreI suspect the same thing. And the periscope has a huge light fall off effect where the f-stop jump every few mms will be huge.
                              I also suspect that this will have a smaller sensor to accomodate the periscope lens designed by Corephotronics.

                                    Never again Huawei. Their update policy is even worse than Samsung. Also their bootloader is locked. If I want to be in cage I would choose IOS

                                      Looks horrid. It better be priced at 250 Euro or so.

                                        digital zoom ? nah. you can get 200x zoom apps, so no need for build in digital zoom.
