[deleted post]Sorry? iPhone design? Bro, check your vision at a doctor. You even said it yourself. Curved screen. Does the iphone have that? And the edges are again, curved. Not like on the iphone....flat

>Quad-Bayer RYYB
...sounds confusing. I know quad bayer, I know RYYB, but nomenclature fusing the two together definitely suggests more than one potential meaning, and we lack an illustration.
The telemacro is...simply the correct way to do things, interesting that Huawei seems the first to turn things around, while they were the first to (mis)lead most of the industry into UWA macros which are a pain to use.
f/1.4 is nearly a stop faster than Sony's with a largely comparable sensor size but then again...sigh, Sony itself is the outlier, frankly with the multi aspect penalty I don't think it's flagship worthy.
The DoF of the samples do seem very shallow, but then it's absolutely crucial to disclose the focus distance!
I don't agree that this is "mature processing", perhaps just the colors, but details still look waxy magnified, well, as a typical P series would, for years. They do look good without magnification, but then so do Samsungs, and I don't abide by that approach. Again, if you're aiming for 2MP, don't pretend you do 12MP. And I'm certain a different person shot the samples compared to the usual reviews, many subjects are the same, but they're shot at notably different angles and positions making them useless for comparison. If you want to convince, you need a real shootout.
I think I still see quite some distortion in those UWA images...yet you won't even shoot a brick wall. It's a UWA, you NEED a brick wall if you want to say something about distortion!
Night mode seems to progress with an even stronger emphasis on the overall picture, instead of the pixels, there's little if any improvement at all if magnified, but the image at a ~8" size on my screen seems notably better than before. Again, that's about 3MP on my 4K screen, but it's probably enough for most non-pro use. But it's definitely not a real "pro" approach. And again, we need a real shootout, I don't think there's been one for the past 2 years.

>everything else will drain your battery noticeably faster
If AOD drains battery noticeably faster, than most likely the screen is inefficient, which almost certainly means that DRR doesn't work as advertised, these should refresh in 1hz after all.
>It turns your phone into a listening device that streams the sound to your Bluetooth headphones or speaker
Funny how a hearing aid with the receiver detached from the speaker turns into a spying device XD
>And we had no say in this, there is just no option to tell that this is NOT JUNK. It was gone. Forever.
lol!! And I thought Vivo was overly assertive. Certain Chinese companies may have taken on undesirable traits of their Party Branches. And for the record Wechat binds the voice-to-text language to the chosen app language(previously, only the system language), so for a communications app with over a decade's history and over 1.4 billion users, they cannot even accommodate bilingual usage, not to mention trilingual or above, and with the abundant, underutilized power of today's AI cores in SoCs they still refuse to support offline conversion, be it translation or voice-text conversion. This is what I can only describe as authoritarian arrogance.

a bit expensive? It's VERY expensive even with that hardware. No 5G (acceptable) and no Google services (serious drawback). It has potential but bad q/p ratio

i thought that whole circle in the camera module was the entrance pupil until i saw gsmarena close-up image and damn the entrance pupil is just a tiny circle in the middle of that ring, so no matter how fast the aperture this phone has it can't produce shallow depth of field with far away subjects. when will smartphones enlarge the entrance pupil to get rid of artifical bokeh?

I really wish Samsung implemented similar variable aperture in their flagship's main camera.

Android 12 and last year's chipset?????? 1200€? This has to be the lamest launch ever, disappointment.
The photos look great though.

Well this seems like a pretty good phone. I checked all the camera samples and it does perform better than the competition in many scenarios. The natural rendition of colours with plenty of resolved details and minimal noise, this is what all smartphone companies should provide. No GMS and no 5G is a deal breaker, for me but other than that, this seems like a solid camera phone.

I'm impressed with the photos. The flower shot at f/4.0 looks so realistic. The Night Mode also impress me with less noise reduction than the normal mode, especially at 3.5x zoom. But really, what sold me to this phone was the screen. I never liked the Mate 50 Pro's massive curve, so it's great to see Huawei noticeably toned it down for this phone. It's still not truly flat, unlike the vanilla Mate 50, but it's close enough.

AnonD-1042738, 11 May 2023I will wait for Honor Magic 6 Pro. Probably an Huawei phone... moreDepends where you're located and if you need the full google services or not. Personally x6 pro overall would be my choice (just got slightly better features i want). For camera imo I'd go huawei (main sensor and selfie), always been the best and somehow still are (make iphone and s23u look average). Honor (magic5 pro) is probably best for secure unlock choices (dedicated biometric sensor and ultrasonic fingerprint).
Really just look at which one you can get slightly cheaper and easier for you to get because all are amazing (i wouldnt wait for the magic6 pro, wont be here till next year)
P. S. The 3-3.5 optical zoom cams will do x5 without issue or any real quality degradation, you really dont need an average quality 10 times one like with samsung.

Funny huawei fans on weibo claiming this phone has same sensor tech of new xperia just because both output 48MP and area used are similar. They claim huawei is not allowed to say.
Huawei is not even spending cash on imx700y (1/1.28") nor long periscope , let alone on something that costs way more.

"Huawei says this lens can capture the largest amount of light in the industry (for a 90mm lens)"
It actually captures more light per time from distant objects than any smartphone camera (including main camera) on the market due to the large 6.93mm effective lens diameter. Only the Samsung Galaxy K Zoom offers more (6.98mm).

I think that the 1.17 micrometer pixel size is a mistake. That's an unusual pixel size and when you calculate the pixel size, you get the common 1.12 micrometer value.

"with large 1.17µm pixels"
That's unusual. Is there a source?
