Huawei had recently launched its latest flagship series, the P40. Now, DxOMark has just released its testing results of the Huawei P40 Pro, which has achieved the highest camera ratings ever from a smartphone, with an overall score of 128 points.
Huawei P40 Pro has now beaten the Oppo Find X2 Pro, the previous DxOMark rating leader that scored 124 points in total. For those unaware, DxOMark is a renowned brand that tests digital professional grade cameras and smartphones as well. Their review has become a staple in the industry, especially for flagship reviews and devices have also been advertised having high scores through the reviews.
Now, the Huawei P40 Pro is the latest flagship series from the Chinese tech giant and succeeds the P30 series. It features a very large 1/1.28″ 50MP Quad-Bayer primary sensor that produces 12MP image output. In other words, pixel binning is used to increase the dynamic range and low light capabilities. Through this lens, the smartphone has achieved an impressively high score of 140 in still photography and 105 points for videography.

In terms of photography, certain areas received particularly high scores. This includes its Zoom performance with its 5x optical telephoto lens, fast and accurate autofocus, great exposure and color reproduction. Similarly, the Huawei P40 Pro was praised for its low light performance and its ability to reduce texture noise from images while also retaining relevant details.
For videos, color reproduction was once again a leading aspect, however, the stability when capturing video was the highly praised feature. The Huawei P40 Pro is capable of recording videos from 1080p and 4K at 30 and 60fps on the main camera. Thus, stabilization is an important part of it. But, the company has offered industry leading video stabilization, with the best DxOMark has ever seen.
All in all, the Huawei P40 Pro takes amazing images, with decent details, exposure, and consistent autofocus. But, may occasionally suffer from white balance issues, underexposure and lack of fine details. While the video stabilization is one of the best ever, with vivid colors and wide dynamic range, its white balance again takes a hit in certain scenarios while sharpness between frames is often noticeable as well.
