well, having a high resolution sensor for the ultrawide camera makes perfect sense! finaly!

    ppl saying this is a big upgrade, wait until Huawei uses liquid lenses in the p40 pro
    a breakthrough in Mobile photography and in photography in general

      I sincerely hope that Huawei increase the bit rate during 4K & Full HD video capture. On the P30 Pro - Photo quality is great, but video quality is pretty bad... Then again Huawei have never been any good at implementing class leading video on any of their phones... But seriously they need to bumb up the encoding bit rate to at least 60 Mbps in 4K and about 30 Mbps in Full HD - for ultimate detail capture. Night time, low light video quality seriously needs to improve as well... especially the autofocus.

V20 was a great phone with strong cinematography capabilities. But, based on the year where it took off fastly, I think Sony who's bringing the wind much stronger to the market, especially Xperia 1 was targeted at people who do cinematography and video-capturing. Just a thought, nothing else.

                Anonymous, 01 Aug 2019Wth? Downgrade from 10 X digital to 5 X digital? It says 5x telephoto which is prob the same optical magnification as on the p30 pro. so coupled with 10x digital it could go to 50x zoom.

                    Cine Lens has been rumoured for ages, its not possible for someone to use it that quick without years of R&D first

                      Hmm... Did Sony start another trend for mobile smartphone again, this time with Cinema Pro application of X1, just like their water-and-dust resistant and glass-and-metal combination return and retuned of Z, 960fps super slow-mo of XZs/XZP?

Now Huawei is implementing the same thing. At the end of the day nobody cares who did it first but who's doing it better.

                              I believe Mate series this year will drastically upgrades on its camera as well because of the ban issue, trying to push boundaries more for a statement.

                              And glad finally there are companies using 1/1.5" inch sensor, last good thing about it is Lumia 1020. And i'm excited about the Cine Lens feature.

                                While it's definitely possible for Mate 30 Pro to feature the 40MP sensor behind the ultra wide angle lens, a 1/1.5 inch main sensor sounds too good to be true. Huawei never introduced a massive hardware revamp for the camera in Mate and always kept it for P series.
                                Wide F1.4 aperture also means the lens will suffer from stronger aberrations hence it captures less details. It's pretty obvious if you look at the image samples from Honor 20 Pro, the only smartphone that features F1.4 lens in the market right now - detail wise it's a noticeable downgrade from Honor View 20 which features the same sensor but also comes with narrower F1.8 lens.

                                    Great, superb camera, only downside is CURVED screen.

                                      Curve + notch = pass !
