Huawei P40 Pro's periscope telephoto camera to have 10x optical zoom

20 December 2019
The P40, on the other hand, will have to settle for 5x.

Anonymous, 22 Dec 2019No it doesn't. The P doesn't stand for anything.Ok my friend. I guess me being a former Huawei employee over the years was a waste of time because I learnt nothing...right?

    Give video the same chance you gave photography. Better night video. Better resolution and dynamic range. Etc

      I am only missing stereo speakers from my beloved p30 pro, so please put in stereo speakers into the p40 pro (I don't mind if it's an extra top firing speaker) and keep all the goodies from the p30 pro. You can improve of course, but do not take away anything that the p30 pro has, just improve on all (video (4k60fps on both front and back lenses), faster processor, more fluid experience) if possible. Please :) the p30 pro is the best phone I've ever had and it's near to perfect. Thank you for your work Huawei, very much appreciated👏

        Amazing! Simply amazing! When others can not even do 3x, Huawei comes and will do 10x! The P30 was amazing, and I am sure the P40 will not disappoint.

                The question is, will it still have the same shitty camera UI and almost non-existent accidental touch detection on the screen edges (making single-handed camera operation very problematic), or have they finally learned.

                                  Periscope and two mirrors?

                                  I am curious about the OIS on this. I hope it's good enough. The longer the focal length, the greater the shake, and greater the need to stabilise it more.
