Huawei P30 Pro renders and leaked photos that have surfaced recently have revealed that it will be arriving with four rear-mounted cameras. A recently released teaser had hinted that the smartphone may carry support for 10x zoom. According to Android Central, Huawei’s Vice President of Global Product Marketing, Clement Wong has confirmed that the P30 Pro will be arriving with a periscope-style zoom camera that will offer “super-zoom” capabilities.
The Huawei P20 Pro from last year offered 3x optical zoom and up to 5x hybrid zoom. While Wong did not confirm on the exact zoom details of the P30 Pro, it is speculated that it will offer up to 10x zoom. Huawei CEO Richard Yu had shared an image of the moon that was snapped using the P30 Pro in the previous week. According to Wong, the image was captured handheld with no external help like tripod.
The renders of the Huawei P30 Pro had revealed that it features a triple camera module on the top-left corner of the back panel. Alongside it is a 3D (Time of Flight) sensor, a laser autofocus and dual LED flash. It is speculated that the periscope camera could be the third sensor that has a squarish design. Describing the photography prowess of the P30 Pro, Wong stated that it will offer “something nobody has done before.”
The Huawei P20 Pro was praised for its low-light photography performance. Wong has confirmed that the P30 Pro will offer enhanced low-light shooting experience. Google Pixel 3 and other phones that offer impressive night scene photography rely on software-based algorithms. Wong has added the P30 Pro’s night mode will be better than the software-only approach of competitors. This indicates that the P30 Pro will be equipped with unique camera hardware.
He did not share any information on the camera prowess of the Huawei P30. It goes without saying that the Chinese manufacturer may have designed it to deliver stellar photography experience like its Pro sibling. Reputed tipster Evan Blass had claimed in December that the P30 will deliver 40-megapixel maximum resolution and 5x loseless zoom.
The Huawei P30 and P30 Pro smartphones are slated to go official on March 26. Both phones will be equipped with OLED displays, Kirin 980 SoC, 40W fast charging (P30 Pro) technology and more.
