If the main camera sensor uses a Quad Pixel autofocus sensor instead of a Quad Bayer sensor, then the digital zoom at 2x could be worse. Note that Huawei's previous phones used Quad Bayer dual pixel autofocus sensors (which Huawei called Octa PD because quad x dual = octa, Gsmarena incorrectly wrote omnidirectional autofocus) , but it is possible that now Huawei has chosen a Quad Pixel sensor. Quad Pixel sensors have a microlens above four subpixels, just like dual pixel sensors, which have a microlens above two subpixels. So Quad Pixel sensors are fundamentally different, when compared with Quad Bayer sensors. Getting high resolution images from a Quad Pixel sensor should be more difficult or maybe even impossible, that's why dual pixel phones don't output 24 megapixel images.

TL;DR, huawei lost its charm, reputation and competitiveness when they lost the full & complete Android experience. Love it or hate it, we all depend on Google one way or another, no one can't deny that.
So for huawei to resort in forked Android with their own special sauces in the form of harmonyOS and appgallery, they just sealed their fate that brought down the likes of Nokia and BlackBerry, and third-party app stores like Samsung's own which went nowhere near as vastly-populated as Google and even Apple.

Harmony OS is just no option for any well thinking european. Otherwise the Huawei P50 looks to have solid hardware but alas.

Huawei is really a good company but sadly top tech reviewers completely ditched it mostly because they revolve around apple and samsung. In my view they should review these phones from Huawei i understand their audience does not have this phone in demand, plus i think companies like apple, google has influence in them like if they share Huawei phone they will face some difficulties. being a tech channel they should be covering this phone. we need a real competitor. Huawei will come back up again in few years they starting to make their everything by them selves. It is Sad policy of some country saying this that ohhh scaryyyy security issues with no evidence. if you cannot beat/ compete with them shut them up, make it difficult for the business. Until now it all blaming game with no evidence it is sad people believe in such manipulation.

captain fokou, 03 Aug 2021That's were the BW sensor comes in. Still no match as RYYB in low light. But I'll take monochrome over it. Dead on accurate colors + multi spectrum sensor with great micro contrast on color images helped by it.
The sad part Huawei have to sacrifice the UWA by making it inferior, smaller than before because of the additional big monochrome sensor.

By the way, gsmarena has listed wrong camera sensor specs about the P50 Pro. Huawei hasn't revealed the sensor size, but multiple users have revealed the exif data: the entrance pupil diameter and focal length are nearly identical to the P20 Pro specs: The main camera has a 50mm² sensor, that's called 1/1.5" type. At 27mm the area is between 35 and 40mm², at 27mm it captures nearly as much light per time as the P20 Pro. That's why the monochrome camera is back.

[deleted post]Spot on.
Advantage of ditching RYYB - color accuracy. Skin tones sample on DxO shows great results. Must take a toll in low light performance though.
