Our video review of Huawei P40 Pro's camera is up

31 March 2020
In some respects the three cameras on the back and the one on the front are the best we've tested so far - here's where the P40 Pro excels and where it falls a bit short.

Many people ask for 3.5mm and Sony bring it back on Xperia 1 ii, but those competitors start saying Bluetooth audio quality is better/can life without 3.5mm bla...but Sony say it has both quality audio you can have, the choice is yours.

    Sony is just garbage.
    Giving 4K60 in 2020 after denying it to the users a whole year.
    Super steady 2.0 trumps everything on the market.

      No way to secure your phone and get rid of manufacturer spying since Huawei locks bootloaders.

          Two problems I have with a generally excellent phone.

          1. No Google services. OK, you can side load them, if you want to compromise your security, but I prefer not to risk it.

          2. The expensive proprietary NM cards that you have to have to gain extra storage, which you'll want if you shoot video or lots of photos.

            Bro, you have no clue about the stabilization capabilities.
            Note 10 had the best stabilization on market last year and this year S20 takes the crown.
            Everything else fails during jogging and heavy movement while Samsung giving gimbal like footage.

              Senseurheart Kimochi, 03 Apr 2020I don't know why the Gsmarena's reviewer capture a lot buil... moreI think capture indoor is more than enough, please stay safe. Try about capture people in 3 type of distance? The first one is the portrait. The second one capture about 7 feet from a sofa distant. The third one about 15 feet from the sofa for group photo, please use only the back camera not the selfie one to capture 1 people from this 3 scenario at indoors.

                I don't know why the Gsmarena's reviewer capture a lot building? Why not capture more about people in full body portrait, half body portrait and group people and in 3 type of distance, let's say 24mm wide, 16mm Ultrawide and 70mm Tele, should also test at indoors and outdoors. Capture some NATURAL landscape and some action/movement of the people.

                  Anonymous, 03 Apr 2020*iPhoneSony and Samsung manage movement much better especially accidental fast movement such as hand slipping or you going down the stairs, because they implement hardware and software stabilization on FHD. Problem is they crop a lot of image in order to do so.

                              Don't buy unless you live in China.

                              No google services on Huawei phones!

                                Another proof that mobile 4K video is only good for stills and slow pan/tilt, every handheld action is still a sloppy mess due to very poor EIS stabilization on small size sensor. So far the leaders in proper stabilization are Sony and Samsung but only in 1080p/30fps and with lower quality due to frame crop. You can't have them all I guess unless you are willing to stabilize in post with Mocha or Fusion.

                                  Seems the major developments recently on mobile phones has been on Camera,well i ain't a Picture/Camera fan boy so doesn't appeal to me.. I haven't even use my phone camera in 8months...so i will pass....I will look it all up when we have indisplay Camera with good Quality... That's when i can say Yes to camera innovation..Not slapping heavy price on phone cos of cam change which won't take a better pics than a DSLR
