华为P30系列正式发布 这是一场四摄相机发布会

2019-03-27 00:47 华为 /电池 /手机

北京时间3月26日晚上9点，华为在法国巴黎召开了一年一度的P系列旗舰发布会，发了华为全新的P30系列旗舰。

华为P系列旗舰一直致力于相机方面的突破，此次最为高端的P30 Pro也是突破性的采用了后置四颗摄像头来加强拍照性能。所以华为此次发布会着重强调了P30的相机表现，这也是为什么我们会说这场发布会简直像一场相机发布会，准确的来说P30确实在很多方面超越了现在的普通相机。

首先我们来看外观设计，相信从之前曝光的信息大家也比较清楚了。此次的P30系列有两款机型，P30和P30 Pro。它们均采用珍珠屏设计，并且拥有超窄边框。不过屏幕的设计和尺寸不同，P30搭载了6.1英寸的直板屏幕，而P30 Pro搭载了6.47英寸的双曲面屏。分辨率均为2340×1080，屏幕材质均为OLED，均支持P3色域和HDR显示。以目前屏幕行业的发展，顶级屏幕的略微差异已经无法分辨，华为P30系列使用的屏幕素质必然属于第一梯队。值得注意的是，P30 Pro取消了听筒设计采用屏幕发声技术，目前也算比较成熟的技术了。

背面采用渐变色曲面玻璃设计，手感圆润。一共有5个配色，包括天空之境、赤茶橘、极光色、珠光贝母、亮黑色。在外观设计方面，P系列一直走的非常年轻的路线，各种配色也非常符合女性消费者的审美。P30 Pro还支持到了IP68防水防尘，P30则是IP58。

接下来便是P30的重头戏，我们先来看看相机的具体参数。

P30系列采用了相同的4000万像素超感光镜头作为主摄，传感器尺寸达到了1/1.7英寸。P30的光圈为f/1.7，P30 Pro则升级到了更大的f/1.6光圈，搭配RYYB和OIS光学防抖设计，感光度高达ISO 409600，暗光条件下硬件素质无人能敌。

华为现场放出的对比图也很清晰可以看到，P30系列对比其他旗舰手机拍照效果在暗光环境下完全是碾压的存在。而这还是没有加入超级夜景算法的情况下，加入了华为AIS超强防抖之后，更可以手持夜景拍出更加惊艳的照片。

P30的另外两颗摄像头为1600万像素超广角镜头和800万像素的长焦镜头。而P30 Pro的其他镜头都对应有所升级，超广角镜头升级到了2000万像素，长焦镜头则升级到了超级变焦镜头，潜望式结构设计，最高可达5倍光学变焦。

超级变焦带来的好处显而易见，可以拍清楚非常远距离的画面。混合变焦50倍，目前智能手机行业都找不出第二款。

发布会现场也就P30系列相机部分的强项做了演示，无论是几乎全黑的环境下拍照还是超远距离变焦，相比其他两款旗舰手机均做到了大幅度的领先。

而说到P30 Pro的第4颗摄像头，则是此前在荣耀V20上已经应用过的TOF摄像头。主要用于记录3D景深信息，配合人像分割算法，景深虚化效果表现出众。不仅如此，在以后的AR应用方面也会有不小的帮助。

P30系列的前置相机也升级到了3200万像素，并且也支持AI HDR+，在自拍的时候可以拍出非常棒的逆光照片。

视频是目前的主流需求，光拍照肯定是不够的，所以华为P30 系列的视频拍摄能力也得到了增强。华为提出并解决了目前视频拍摄的三个痛点。

首先便是暗光环境的拍摄，P30有着大底大光圈的主摄，其带来的暗光拍摄能力增强是非常明显的，在其他旗舰手机都没办法拍出画面的情况下，P30 Pro拍出了非常明亮的视频。

防抖方面也是OIS光学防抖加上华为的AIS防抖双重防抖，保证了手持情况下拍出稳定的画面，同时用长焦镜头拍摄时，画面也可以更稳定，解决了视频抖动的问题。

华为提出的第三个痛点，其实是来自距离。远距离的景物，无法走近的情况下如何拍下来，潜望式长焦镜头来解决。华为P30 Pro可以在10倍变焦的情况下，拍摄延时视频。

其中最亮点的还是华为创新的双景录像功能，同时启动主摄和长焦镜头拍摄。直接在同时拍出两种视野的画面，一个全景，一个特写，十分耳目一新。

华为P30系列在DxOMark中达到了惊人的112分排名第一，目前整个排行榜前三甲均是华为手机。

硬件配置方面P30系列也完全没有妥协，绝对的旗舰定位。麒麟980SoC，在各个方面相比此前的P20均有很大的提升。CPU性能方面提升75%，GPU性能提升46%，NPU性能提升了226%。即便是发布了半年之久，依然是安卓阵营的旗舰水准，这也是我们国产芯片的骄傲。

P30 Pro搭载4200mAh的大电池，P30的电池容量则为3650mAh。P30 Pro还搭载了40W超级快充，半个小时可以充入70%的电量，同时还搭载了15W的无线快充，并且搭载了华为首发的反向无线充电。

软件方面搭载了EMUI9.1基于Android 9.0，采用了手势导航，流畅易用。配合新搭载的TOF镜头可以有更多玩法，可以测量物体体积并且更好的支持AR应用。NFC连接也应用非常广泛，公交卡、华为分享连接设备都可以做到。

价格方面由于是先在欧洲发布，所以只有欧洲市场价格。P30 只有6GB+128GB一个版本售价 799欧元(约合人民币6060元)，P30 Pro有三个版本 8GB+128GB 售价999欧元(约合人民币7570元)、8GB+256GB 售价1099欧元(约合人民币8330元)、8GB+512GB 售价1249欧元(约合人民币9470元)，即日起发售。国内的价格则要等到4月的国内发布会才能知道了。

华为还在发布会上发布了一些配件，比如带保护壳的礼盒版、潜水保护套、支持超级快充的充电宝、华为WATCH GT、华为FreeLace无线耳机包括一款蓝牙耳机眼镜。它们都不是发布会的主角，但它们与P30系列手机一样具有很强的吸引力。

总的来说，华为在P30系列的发布会上秀出了自己的肌肉，单点突破的路线也越走越顺，甚至将发布会开得像了相机发布会。P30系列也算是华为稳扎稳打扩大自己相机优势的产品，相对于其他主流的旗舰手机来说再相机方面保持着相当大的优势。当其他手机想要保持手机各方面都均衡的时候，华为用相机作为突破，用超越所有对手的亮点来征服用户，到目前看来，这样的路线是非常正确的。对于大多数消费者，千篇一律的硬件参数是冰冷的，打动人心的亮点才是真正决定他们是否愿意掏钱包的重点。返回搜狐，查看更多


Huawei P30 series officially released This is a four-camera conference

At 9:00 pm Beijing time on March 26th, Huawei held the annual P-series flagship conference in Paris, France, and issued Huawei's new P30 series flagship.

Huawei P series flagship has been committed to the breakthrough of the camera, the most high-end P30 Pro is also a breakthrough use of the rear four cameras to enhance the camera performance. Therefore, Huawei's conference highlighted the performance of the P30 camera. This is why we will say that this conference is like a camera conference. In fact, the P30 does surpass the current ordinary camera in many aspects.

First of all, let's look at the design. I believe that the information from the previous exposure is clearer. The P30 series has two models, the P30 and the P30 Pro. They all feature a pearl screen design and have an ultra-narrow bezel. However, the screen is designed and sized differently. The P30 is equipped with a 6.1-inch straight screen, while the P30 Pro is equipped with a 6.47-inch hyperbolic screen. The resolution is 2340×1080, and the screen materials are all OLEDs, all supporting P3 color gamut and HDR display. With the development of the current screen industry, the slight difference in the top screen has been indistinguishable. The screen quality used by Huawei P30 series must belong to the first echelon. It is worth noting that the P30 Pro canceled the design of the earpiece using screen sound technology, which is now considered a mature technology.

The back is made of a gradient curved glass for a rounded feel. There are a total of 5 color combinations, including the sky, red tea, aurora, pearlescent, bright black. In terms of design, the P series has been taking a very young route, and the various color schemes are also very suitable for the aesthetics of female consumers. The P30 Pro also supports IP68 waterproof and dustproof, while the P30 is IP58.

Next is the highlight of the P30, let's take a look at the camera's specific parameters.

The P30 series uses the same 40 megapixel super-sensing lens as the main camera, and the sensor size is 1/1.7 inch. The aperture of the P30 is f/1.7, and the P30 Pro is upgraded to a larger f/1.6 aperture. With the RYYB and OIS optical anti-shake design, the sensitivity is up to ISO 409600, and the hardware quality under dark conditions is unmatched.

The comparison map released by Huawei is also very clear. The P30 series is completely compacted in contrast to other flagship mobile phones. This is still the case without the addition of the Super Night Scene algorithm. After adding the Huawei AIS Super Anti-Shake, you can take even more stunning photos with the night scene.

The other two cameras in the P30 are a 16 megapixel ultra wide-angle lens and an 8 megapixel telephoto lens. The other lenses of the P30 Pro are upgraded accordingly. The ultra wide-angle lens has been upgraded to 20 megapixels, and the telephoto lens has been upgraded to a super zoom lens. The periscope structure design can be up to 5x optical zoom.

The benefits of the Super Zoom are obvious, so you can take pictures that are very far away. Hybrid zoom 50 times, the current smart phone industry can not find the second.

The conference site also demonstrated the strengths of the P30 series camera section. Whether it is photographing in almost all black environment or ultra-long-distance zoom, it has achieved a large lead compared to the other two flagship phones.

When it comes to the P30 Pro's 4th camera, it is the TOF camera that has been applied to the Glory V20. It is mainly used to record 3D depth of field information, and with the portrait segmentation algorithm, the depth of field blurring effect is outstanding. Not only that, but there will be no small help in the future AR application.

The front camera of the P30 series has also been upgraded to 32 million pixels, and also supports AI HDR+, which can make great backlight photos during self-timer.

Video is the current mainstream demand. Photographing is definitely not enough, so the video capture capability of Huawei P30 series has also been enhanced. Huawei proposed and solved the three pain points of current video shooting.

The first is the shooting of the dark environment. The P30 has the main photo of the big aperture and the large aperture. The enhanced shooting ability of the dark light is very obvious. In the case that other flagship phones can't shoot the picture, the P30 Pro shoots. A very bright video came out.

Anti-shake is also OIS optical anti-shake plus Huawei's AIS anti-shake dual anti-shake, to ensure a stable picture in the case of handheld, while shooting with a telephoto lens, the picture can be more stable, solve the problem of video jitter .

The third pain point proposed by Huawei is actually from the distance. Long-distance scenery, how to shoot down when not approaching, periscope telephoto lens to solve. Huawei P30 Pro can shoot time-lapse video with 10x zoom.

One of the highlights is Huawei's innovative dual-view recording feature, which simultaneously activates both main and telephoto lens shots. Directly at the same time shooting two views of the picture, a panorama, a close-up, very refreshing.

The Huawei P30 series ranked first in the DxOMark with an astonishing 112 points. Currently, the top three in the entire ranking are Huawei phones.

The hardware configuration aspect of the P30 series is also completely uncompromising, the absolute flagship positioning. The Kirin 980 SoC has greatly improved in all aspects compared to the previous P20. CPU performance increased by 75%, GPU performance increased by 46%, and NPU performance increased by 226%. Even after being released for half a year, it is still the flagship level of the Android camp, which is the pride of our domestic chips.

The P30 Pro is equipped with a large 4200mAh battery, and the P30 has a battery capacity of 3650mAh. The P30 Pro is also equipped with a 40W super fast charge, which can charge 70% of the battery in half an hour. It also carries a 15W wireless fast charge and is equipped with Huawei's first reverse wireless charging.

The software is equipped with EMUI9.1 based on Android 9.0, using gesture navigation, smooth and easy to use. With the new TOF lens, you can play more games, measure the volume of the object and better support the AR application. NFC connections are also widely used, and bus cards and Huawei share connection devices can do so.

Since the price is first released in Europe, there is only a European market price. P30 only 6GB + 128GB version of the price of 799 euros (about 6060 yuan), P30 Pro has three versions of 8GB +128GB price of 999 euros (about 7570 yuan), 8GB + 256GB price of 1099 euros (about renminbi 8330 yuan), 8GB+512GB The price is 1249 euros (about 9470 yuan), and will be available for sale from now on. Domestic prices will not be known until the domestic press conference in April.

Huawei also released some accessories at the press conference, such as a gift box with a protective case, a diving protection cover, a charging treasure that supports super fast charging, a Huawei WATCH GT, and a Huawei FreeLace wireless headset including a Bluetooth headset. They are not the protagonists of the conference, but they are as attractive as the P30 series.

In general, Huawei showed its muscles at the P30 series conference. The single-point breakthrough route has become more and more smooth, and even the conference will be like a camera conference. The P30 series is also considered to be Huawei's stable and stable product to expand its camera. Compared with other mainstream flagship phones, the camera still has considerable advantages. When other mobile phones want to keep all aspects of the mobile phone balanced, Huawei uses the camera as a breakthrough to conquer the users with highlights that surpass all opponents. Until now, such a route is very correct. For most consumers, the same hardware parameters are cold, and the highlights that touch people's hearts are the key to really decide whether they are willing to pick up their wallets.

EARLY VERDICT
A strong phone from Huawei that's well put together, but one that lacks any real headline spec beyond the camera. The four sensor array impresses and the zoom is mind-blowing if used correctly - but is that enough for a real flagship?

Huawei has moved from being an underdog to being one of the bigger phone brands in the world, thanks to a fusion of heavy marketing and, well, making ever-improving phones.

The new Huawei P30 Pro takes a lot of what we saw with the Huawei Mate 20 Pro but improves some elements of the design as well as rebooting the camera somewhat - and is a distinctly more powerful phone than the Huawei P30 in a few ways.

ADVERTISING

We spent an hour playing with the new phone from the Chinese brand, and while some elements felt a little too familiar, some features of the camera absolutely blew us away.

Huawei P30 Pro price and release date
We had to wait until right until the very end of the launch, but the Huawei P30 Pro price is in: if you're looking for 8GB of RAM, well, you've come to the right place as the P30 Pro only has that spec variant. There are three storage flavors though, and these are: 128GB for €999 (around £850 / $1120 / AU$1500), 256GB for €1099 (around £940 / $1240 / AU$1700) and 512GB for €1249 (around $1050 / $1400 / AU$2000).

In terms of the release date for the P30 Pro, you're able to buy it from the date of the launch (March 26) - so if you want it, go grab it. However, it won't be on shop shelves in some territories until a little later - the Huawei P30 Pro UK release date isn't until April 5, for instance.

We're still not expecting these phones to be sold in the US any time soon.

The Huawei P30 Pro comes in four colors: a light blue (called Breathing Crystal... we know), The purple / blue mix of 'Aurora', the orange 'Amber Sunrise' and the more standard... 'Black')

The range is pearlescent, and shimmers with different tones rather attractively, apart from black, which is basically so reflective as to be a mirror. We're assuming the name 'Black Mirror' wasn't allowed to be used.

We weren't given the exact dimensions of the phone in our briefing, but the 6.47-inch OLED display fits neatly into the front of the phone, with a small teardrop notch for the camera.

The notch is already seeming a bit outdated on phones - we were surprised to not see a punch-hole.

It's interesting to hear Huawei call said cut-out 'beautiful' when in previous briefings we’ve been told how the punch-hole selfie-cam idea is the future... at least, that's what Huawei’s sister company Honor told us, and they have the same design team.

The overall effect of the screen quality is that, despite it being ‘only’ Full HD, you're getting a very impressive picture. The peak brightness stuns at times, with a bright sunset powering out from a dark scene. However, we're not sure there's any HDR support in the screen here, so that's something we're looking to follow up on soon.

If you're expecting vibrant OLED technology here, it's best to hold off clicking that ‘pre-order now’ button until you've seen the muted, natural colors of the display on the P30 Pro. It's certainly not an issue, but it is something you'll want to check out in person.

The Huawei P30 Pro design isn't earth-shattering, although the screen does taper away and curve into the sides of a rather thick aluminum band that runs around the outside of the device.

That band houses the USB-C connector (but sadly no headphone jack, unlike the P30 ‘normal’), as well as the single, downwards-firing mono speaker. It feels a bit old-fashioned to not have a stereo speaker setup, but that’s because there’s no conventional speaker for taking calls – the screen itself vibrates, using a technology called magnetic levitation.

The output from said speaker is only fine – it's not the best we've ever heard, but for a single option it's better than expected in terms of volume and the clarity of music being pumped out.

The camera array sits proud from the rear of the phone, pulling in the four sensors together, which can create a rather lopsided feel when it’s laid on the table; but the volume and power button sit nicely where the thumb falls on the right-hand side of the phone.

Camera
The quad-camera array.

The quad-camera array.

The big feature Huawei spent so long briefing us on is the new P30 Pro camera system, which it claims will make us completely rethink smartphone photography. The main thrust is for the Super Spectrum Sensor, a 40MP effort that can pull in light at a ridiculously high ISO and has an f/1.6 lens for quality night footage.

The SuperSpectrum sensor is the feature Huawei is making the biggest deal of here: it's replaced each of the green pixels in a standard RGB sensor with two yellow pixels, so it reckons the sensor will be able to pull more light and color information as a result, with an enhanced ability to suck in red and green light.

Combined with Huawei's strong artificial intelligence (AI) photography smarts, the results should be impressive. This is flanked by a 5x telephoto camera (a feat achieved by turning the light coming in 90 degrees inside the phone to give it more space to reflect the image) as well as a time-of-flight range imaging sensor (for better background blurring) and an ultra-wide mode, using a 20MP sensor.

OK, the mind is officially blown. This is from a phone.
The Huawei P30 Pro also has 10x lossless zoom, claims the brand, thanks to some inbuilt AI smarts – and it uses that feature to offer a 50x digital zoom, to do things like take a picture of the moon when it's doing something pretty, or just have a really close up look at a poster across the street from a demo area. Just for instance, not saying we're doing that.

So how does the camera work on the Huawei P30 Pro? Pretty well. Indoor and outdoor shots look clean, and snap quickly, but do show that same level of sharpness that Huawei phones seem to deliver - it’s up to you whether that’s a bold feature or not.

The background blur on photos looks good too, although the shutter lag was pretty pronounced – in fact, most photos we took saw the Huawei P30 Pro asking us to 'hold still' having snapped the shot so it could sharpen the pictures using its AI mode.

The night mode didn't impress massively, but when all you can do in a test area is wrap yourself in a curtain it's hardly the most scientific of tests.

However, we did note that the iPhone XS Max created a night image that was similar to the P30 Pro, so we're not expecting the new phone to trouble the Google Pixel 3's dominance in the low-light market.

The selfie camera is powerful – more powerful than is necessary, some might argue – at 32MP and takes a strong enough picture.

There's smile mode to take a snap, but we found that we had to smile really widely to have a chance of the feature working – unless we were just jaded by the press room.

However, it's in the zoom department that the Huawei P30 Pro really excels. The 5x telephoto zoom and 10x enhanced enlargement both work incredibly well (though not so much at night), and focusing on a small poster across the road showed that the 50x zoom actually gave strong, sharp photos too.

Huawei's AI game is strong at the moment, using internal smarts to improve the quality of photos, and it's generally done the same here with aplomb.

In a month or two, when an update lands you'll even be able to record a video with a small window zooming in on the action... we can't see why you'd really want to do that though, so it not being a launch feature isn't the end of the world.

Battery


The battery life on the Huawei P30 Pro wasn't disclosed by the brand, but it did unveil an increased power pack inside the phone that offers 4200mAh of power.

Given we know that Huawei is great at providing battery management features, we're expecting this internal juice box to keep chugging along nicely for at least a single day.

However, if the levels are looking a bit low before you're ready to leave work, the 40W fast charging on the Huawei P30 Pro means you can get to 70% power in just 30 minutes, which is pretty incredible.

There's also speedy 15W wireless charging, and the capability to charge another phone or pair of wirelessly-powered headphones with some reverse wireless power delivery. Truly, we're living in the future.

What's it like to use?


The Huawei P30 Pro uses EMUI 9.1 a Kirin 980 chipset and an untold amount of RAM – no, literally, they've not told us what it is. We're assuming around 8GB, but like the internal storage there's no notion of what's on offer – although we're expecting storage to start at 128GB for a brand like Huawei.

The speed of browsing around the Huawei P30 is much as you’d expect from a modern smartphone. There's a definite fluidity under the finger, and the lightning-fast reactions of the connectivity on our test impressed as we zipped through TechRadar.

EMUI 9.1, the latest version of Huawei’s overlay for Android, is less onerous than it used to be in days gone by, with the Google integration for Western versions of this phone on the left screen. There are also fewer messages popping up everywhere when you’re navigating around, and combined with the fast innards and clear screen, the Huawei P30 Pro is adept at whisking you through everyday life tasks.

There are still confusing and slightly annoying bugs in the system, for example with the AI video editor, which is supposed to be able to edit clips for you with no input – we could not find that anywhere in the camera screen.

It’s also not as fluid as the iPhone XS or the Samsung Galaxy S10, with some elements of EMUI still feeling a little too overly complex and offering too many choices and tweaks to make. But compare it to a phone from Huawei that’s just five years old and you’ll see a massive change in the way the interface works.

Early verdict


The Huawei P30 Pro is one of the strongest phones the brand has ever produced, but the upgrades feel a little more incremental this year.

The new colors shine nicely, the screen's teardrop notch isn’t too intrusive, and while the camera system does at least offer something different, it's still in a minor way.

The speed under the finger is a nice touch, but we're looking forward to testing the real differences between the Huawei P30 Pro and last year's Mate 20 Pro, or the Huawei P20 Pro, to see how much really has changed.

FALSE ADVERTISING —

An actor in the commercial accidentally revealed the trick on her Instagram.

Huawei might make decentsmartphones, but its marketing and advertising campaigns have, multiple times, been struck by controversy. That continues today, as an actor's social media post revealed that the company faked smartphone photos with a professional DSLR camera for an advertisement in Egypt.

In the ad (embedded below), a couple takes selfies at a party and at home with the Huawei Nova 3. The Huawei video shows a rapid succession of moments in which the couple prepares to take the selfie, then shows the final photos as snapshots between moments. As it turns out, though, the photos were taken on a DSLR camera—the type of dedicated (and not-at-all-tied-to-a-smartphone) camera used by professional photographers.

Huawei Mobile Egypt's ad for the Huawei Nova 3.
Reddit user AbdullahSab3 discovered that Sarah Elshamy, one of the actors in the video, posted some behind-the-scenes photos to her Instagram page. One image revealed a photographer shooting the at-home selfie with a DSLR.
The video does not explicitly state that the photos were taken with the smartphone, but it is implied by the sequence of events and by the fact that the specific photo in question was used to promote a feature present in the smartphone. In the at-home selfie moment, the woman in the couple is hesitant to participate in the photo until she is done applying her makeup. The man takes it anyway, and the photo supposedly shows that the phone's AI-driven beauty feature digitally altered the image so she didn't have to finish applying real makeup to look like she was wearing it.

Other smartphone makers have been caught doing this in the past. Just this past week, Samsung Brazil was caught trying to pass stock photos off as photos taken with the Galaxy A8.
However, this is not always the case. Photos from Apple's "Shot on iPhone" ads are indeed taken with iPhones, albeit with additional equipment like special lenses attached to the phone, and they've been touched up with professional photo editing software—and Aa tiny, fine-print disclosure about lenses and retouches appears on the Apple ads. I once worked at an ad agency with a major Android smartphone manufacturer as a client, and we produced photos like this using the actual hardware with minimal additional equipment.
But the Huawei photo was clearly not taken on a Huawei phone at all. In the Instagram image, you can even see one of the actors extending his arm outside the view of the camera to create the illusion that he's holding a smartphone for a selfie when his hand is actually empty.
Consumers have discovered similar stunts in previous Huawei marketing and advertising materials. In one instance, the company took to a private Facebook group to encourage followers to write up positive Best Buy reviews of the Mate 10 Pro in exchange for a chance to beta test the then-yet-to-be-released phone.
Worse yet, Huawei was caught doing almost exactly this previously: it posted an image implied to be a photo taken with its P9 smartphone to Google+, but the EXIF data (metadata included in image files with information on how and when the photo was taken) revealed it was taken with a Canon EOS 5D Mark III, a professional DSLR camera that costs thousands of dollars.
When consumers discovered the Google+ image EXIF data, Huawei released a statement claiming it didn't really mean to imply that the photo was taken with the P9 and that the photo was simply shared "to inspire our community."
The behind-the-scenes photos have been removed from the actor's Instagram page.
Update: Huawei has sent Ars the following statement:

The purpose of this advertisement is to demonstrate how consumers can use the features of the HUAWEI nova 3 and nova 3i. As stated in the disclaimer at the end of the video, the product shots are for reference only.​

Huawei announced that their P30 would include a periscope zoom camera with at least 5x magnification. To show off the feature, Richard Yu, CEO of Huawei’s consumer business group, published a sampling of photos on Weibo ahead of the device’s launch. You shared nine ads that were seemingly taken with the P30’s camera, highlighting the phone’s superb “periscope zoom” camera.

But that’s where things got a little messy. It turns out, the photos used in the Huawei P30 posters were not taken with a P30, as the marketing campaign implies. One of the images, featuring a child with three ducklings, was taken with a DSLR camera and could easily be found in the portfolio of professional photographer Jake Olson. Olson told PCMag in an email that Huawei didn’t have permission to use the photograph. But it was likely found on and taken from Getty Images where the picture is available.
Another photo, featuring an erupting volcano, was taken by photographer Tom Pfeiffer in 2009, long before the P30 was capable of taking pictures.

Interestingly, Huawei has faked phone camera results before. In 2018, Huawei used a DSLR for a shot in a commercial for their new Nova 3 smartphone, despite claiming the shots were filmed with the phone. A behind-the-scenes picture shared to Instagram by the actress in the commercial showed that despite making it seem as if the phone was used to take a selfie, the shot actually required a professional photographer using a DSLR.
The argument, in both cases, is that Huawei never officially stated that the pictures were shot using the phones, but it was certainly implied.
Huawei Statement On Mobile Photo Scandal
Huawei has made the following statement about the controversy:

“We’ve been made aware that there might have been some misunderstanding regarding our recent HUAWEI P30 Series teaser posters. We would like to reiterate that those are, in fact, only teaser posters, and are only intended to hint at the unique new features that will come with the HUAWEI P30 Series. Huawei has acquired the licenses to the original images and the posters are artistic renditions of said features only. We’d like to take this opportunity to thank the media for their interest in our posters. We have much to announce in the coming weeks. Please stay tuned!”​

Since the scandal broke, Huawei has added a disclaimer to the images in question, noting that they are only meant for creative purposes.
Why Would Huawei Lie About Its Mobile Photos?
If the camera in the device is as remarkable as Huawei claims it is, why would they have to cheat their way through the marketing campaign? If they were going with inspiration versus reality, as they claim, why not post a disclaimer from the get-go?
Those are the questions many are asking, without getting many answers. Naturally, that leaves many consumers wondering just how much they can trust Huawei, particularly in regards to their marketing. What else have they tried to get away with in an effort to sell more products?
Still, it’s worth noting that the “periscope zoom” camera on the Huawei P30 is powerful and undoubtedly capable of creating stunning images. We just wish we could have seen more authenticity in Huawei’s marketing campaigns.

Ang Moh are these days the cheapest desperate crooks and swines. Entire White Fur Monkey World is collapsing and Ultra Distressed. Whole USA & Whole EU falling apart, bankrupted, lost everything and are in disintegration plus self-conflicting towards Civil Wars. Not just in Businesses. Their R & D, Space, Science, Military, Security, Intelligence, Finance, Politics, Society, Employment & Economy, Trade, Diplomacy, Alliance & International Relationship, Power & Authority in UN... all falling apart.

Honesty Integrity & principle and moral are all crap. Even their Spiritual World are all fucked full of Sex Scandals Child Abuses Child Rape... Full of Crimes, Drug, Violence, Unrest, Falling of Political Leaders, Arrests, Investigation, Resignations, SHUT DOWN OF GOVT, STATES OF EMERGENCY...

They are betraying and fucking themselves too much, totally no honor and reliance. Can not be trusted with anything, from commercial products to quality, medical safety, banking integrity etc. National Banks had EATEN GOLD RESERVE & FUNDS of many 3rd world nations. Frauds are rampant. From Obama to Dotard all rampant to print official Counterfeit Dollars.

Violation and negations and flip-flop on all international treaties, agreements, and cooperation / trust relationships.

Just a simple fact to acknowledge, bankrupted beggars are very desperately struggling their final straw for survival, they cannot care about disrespect and distrust and humiliation as well as retaliation at all. They are not able to afford any consideration for long term any more, their deaths very imminent within short term, they have no future to be considered.


World must just FINISH THEM OFF ASAP.

In the smart phone arena, the USA Chow Ang Moh status and position clearly exhibited their desperate struggle and panic and shame with the 5G and hatred against Huawei. Sore sour loser losing big time and cannot handle their losses - because they know that there is no coming back possible, they lost to Chinese & Huawei now it is a lost of eternity. Lost for ever! No chance to retake their lost position. Very fearful very panic very FUCKING DESPERATE!

Ultra DISTRESS! Pathetic Chow Ang Mohs!
