Huawei’s latest P30 Pro may not have garnered the best score for video recording on DXOMark but the phone still ranks as the best camera phone around presently. The P30 Pro comes with a quad camera setup at the rear with one of the sensors being a periscope lens that gives the device the ability to achieve 5x optical zoom and a whopping 50x digital zoom. A video said to have been recorded by the P30 Pro recently went viral on Facebook and that is because it shows the 50x digital zoom feature in action and it was awesome.

The video that appears to have been uploaded on video sharing platform Tik Tok first, showed the camera zooming in on a Chinese chess game from a spot on top of a tall building. Despite the distance, the camera was still able to pick out the words on the chess pieces. Even though at that level of zoom it looks a little blurry, we could still make out the words on the chess pieces and with some level of clarity that is awesome.Huawei p30 pro 50x zoom
