Huawei P30 Pro ‘periscope’ zoom camera confirmed as executive talks enhanced low-light

In just a few short weeks, Huawei will officially unveil its new flagship, the Huawei P30 Pro. Today, the company’s VP of Global Marketing is confirming some details about the device, including the periscope zoom camera the Huawei P30 Pro will be packing.

 

Last year’s Huawei P20 Pro did a lot to help establish Huawei as a powerful player in the smartphone camera market, and that prowess continues on. For its sequel, Huawei isn’t pulling its punches. Speaking to Android Central, Huawei’s Clement Wong confirmed a couple of long-standing rumors about the Huawei P30 Pro – it’s going to have a super-zoom sensor, and it’ll have better low-light.

 

Looking first at the new zoom camera, Wong describes it as a “periscope-style” zoom camera that will be the third sensor on the Huawei P30 Pro. He explained that it would have “super-zoom” capabilities, but didn’t confirm the level it would hit. Previous Huawei devices achieved 5x zoom using a hybrid system, and rumors currently point to a 10x zoom from the sensor.

 

What would that 10x zoom be capable of? It’ll probably produce some great shots, and early samples on Chinese social media show off something truly amazing. Wong says that the picture below was captured on the P30 Pro, sneakily confirming its quad-camera setup, and clearly showing details of the lunar surface. He says this shot was taken handheld without any post-editing.

Further, Wong explains that the Huawei P30 Pro will also offer enhanced low-light capabilities alongside the strong zoom option. Specifics weren’t mentioned, sadly, but the company sees its next upgrade as a huge jump over what was offered on the already impressive P20 Pro. He also suggested that hardware would be involved, with the new night mode not solely relying on software like the company’s competition.

 

To end, Wong said that the Huawei P30 Pro will use “revolutionary technology to rewrite rules of photography.” That’s a very bold claim, and we’ll have to wait until March 26th to see how it pans out.

Huawei P30 Pro leaked photos reiterate specs and show off hot red color

Still doing those lurid gradients, but now throwing in an iridescent red as well

By Vlad Savov@vladsavov Mar 21, 2019, 5:18am EDT

 

 

Huawei is less than a week away from its next big flagship smartphone launch, so of course the torrent of leaks surrounding the upcoming P30 and P30 Pro has been full and comprehensive. The latest disclosures from mysmartprice add corroboration to some specs we’ve already seen leaked: the excellent 7nm Kirin 980 processor, a quad-camera system on the rear, and an in-display fingerprint sensor. The P30 Pro is set to differentiate itself with a 10x hybrid zoom periscope-style camera while the non-Pro P30 will have a 5x hybrid zoom system, according to the latest leak of marketing materials.

 

Additional images provided by evleaks flesh out the full color selection that Huawei is working on, and the real standout for me is a gorgeous red variant of the P30 Pro (you can tell the two phones apart by the squarish lens on the Pro; that device also has the flash to the side of the camera array, whereas the P30 has it below). Beside the red, there’s a demure black and a pair of Huawei’s signature multicolor gradients to choose from. The appearance of the Sonos speaker in these photos would also hint at some preorder bonuses that Huawei might be planning. Samsung set a high standard by giving away free Galaxy Buds with Galaxy S10 preorders this year, and Huawei may be hoping to match it.

 

The launch event for Huawei’s P30 Pro and P30 is set for this coming Tuesday, March 26th, in Paris, France.

Huawei P30 & P30 Pro Singapore

 

Officially launched in Paris yesterday, and now open for pre-order in Singapore.

 

The P30 is priced at S$998, while the P30 Pro is available at S$1,398. They will be launched island-wide from Apr 6 at all Huawei Concept Stores, local telcos, selected consumer electronic stores, authorised mobile retailers and selected online marketplaces.

 

On the same launch date, there will also be a sales launch event at VivoCity, Central Court at level 1. From 10am to 10pm, customers will receive a premium gift set (worth up to S$470) with every purchase of the Huawei P30 or P30 Pro. 

 

Customers can also experience the new features of the P30 Series in different interactive zones, and meet local celebrities like Rebecca Lim, Romeo Tan, Sonia Chew and Jean Danker.

 

Huawei launches ‘super camera smartphone’ P30 Series in Paris

 

 

 

 

Comprising the P30 Pro and P30, Huawei’s new P30 Series is aiming to outshine its much-vaunted predecessor, the Mate20 series.

 

Released just six months ago, the Mate20 Pro had scooped up several prestigious accolades, such as MWC2019’s Best Smartphone at MWC2019, and Stuff.tv’s Smartphone Of The Year 2018.

 

At the global launch event held in France’s capital at the Paris Convention Centre on Tuesday (Mar 26), members of the international media were introduced to how the Huawei P30 Series is Rewriting The Rules Of Photography, according to its ad campaign tagline. 

 

Richard Yu, Chief Executive Officer of Huawei Consumer BG, said in a statement, “The P30 Series is a smartphone offering rule-breaking photography. We asked ourselves how to bring professional photographic capability into a smartphone, because we wanted to write a new chapter in mobile photography.”

 

 

 

'COLOUR-FULL' GAME CHANGER

 

The P30 Series features what must arguably be the most ground-breaking innovation the world of photography has witnessed in decades.

 

Its SuperSpectrum RYYB sensor, billed as a world-first, sees the addition of a Yellow sensor, which can absorb both blue and red rays of light. This breakthrough upgrade from the traditional RGB sensor, which has been the industry standard for the past 40 years, means the RYYB sensor can now absorb two colours instead of a single colour in traditional sensor configuration. 

 

 

As such, it allows 40 per cent more light to be absorbed than a traditional RGB sensor, and for enhanced multi-frame long-exposure, that allows night mode to capture even more detail, colour, vibrancy and quality in extreme low-light conditions.

 

At a pre-launch media briefing held in Singapore on Mar 18, Clement Wong, Huawei Consumer Business Group’s Head Of Global Product Marketing, said that "all our hardware, software and ISPs have been changed in order to create this new super-spectrum sensor". 

 

He added: "Some of the best existing cameras on the market feature a light sensitivity of 102,400. The P30’s is 204,800, while the P30 Pro’s is 409,600".

 

Combined optical and AI stabilisation mean even handheld night photos are crystal clear, vivid, and stunning. For example, you can capture sweet, intimate moments of your kids sleeping, without turning on the lights to avoid waking them. Creating stunning night scapes that feature more stars than are visible to the naked eye or another smartphone’s camera is no problem, too. 

 

Neither is photographing an illuminated close-up of, say, a couple’s faces as they walk by some distance away at night – even if said couple is under an umbrella that is casting shadows on their faces.

 

Shooting videos at night is enhanced by the UltraHD 4K video recording capabilities with low-light capabilities, OIS and AIS stablisation. Meanwhile, the upgraded Selfie Cam features a 32-mp single camera, which, when combined with the 40-mp camera, offers excellent low-light capability.

 

FOR HARDCORE PHOTOGRAPHY BUFFS

 

P30 Pro

 

The series’ flagship model, the P30 Pro, features innovations such as the world’s first Leica Quad Camera. This encompasses a 40MP wide angle lens with a f/1.6 aperture, a 20MP ultra wide angle lens with a f/2.2 aperture, and an 8MP telephoto lens with a f/3.4 aperture. 

 

This Time Of Flight (TOF) camera enables users to capture the kind of incredible layer, detail and depth accuracy, known as the Leica-style bokeh so prized by photo buffs. The effect is achieved by combining its various apertures with AI capabilities that help identify each layer (for example, the person in the foreground, trees and buildings in the mid-distance, and mountains in the background), then creating a different bokeh effect for each layer.

 

 

 

Its SuperZoom function supports up to 50x digital zoom, thanks to a prism lens that’s essentially a tiny yet powerful periscope offering the highest zoom and best lossless zoom in the industry, specifically 5x optical zoom, and 10x hybrid zoom (both world firsts).

 

With advanced motion detection, object tracking and AI Powered Predictive Focus, the Huawei P30 Pro can also effectively predict the path and motion of the objects in the frame and help to capture smooth, stunning action photographs.

 

 

Its ultra wide angle lens, used in tandem with the telephoto lens, allows for recording multi-view videos from different perspectives.

 

The P30 Pro also features a 6.47-inch curved OLED screen with a 19:5.9 aspect ratio, and a 2340 x 1080 resolution display. Packing 8GB RAM and 256 ROM that’s expandable by another 256GB with a nano memory card, it has a 4200 mAh battery that charges from 0 per cent to 70 per cent in 30 minutes. 

 

Its iP68 rating for water- and dust-resistance means it can withstand dust, dirt and sand, and is resistant to submersion up to a maximum depth of 1.5m underwater for up to 30 minutes.

 

 

P30

 

The P30, on the other hand, features a 6.1-inch curved OLED screen with a 19.5:9 aspect ratio, and a 2340 x 1080 resolution display. 

 

It does not incorporate a TOF sensor, and makes do with a 40-megapixel Wide Angle RGB Lens with an f/1.8 aperture; a 16-megapixel ultra wide-angle lens with an f/2.2 aperture; and a third 8-megapixel telephoto zoom lens with an f/2.4 aperture capable of 5x zoom and 5x hybrid zoom, supporting up to 30x digital zoom. 

 

Its 8GB of RAM is paired with 128GB of internal storage (expandable by 256GB with nano memory card) and its 3,650 mAh battery charges from 0 per cent to 58 per cent in 30 minutes. An IP53 rating means it is splash-resistant.

 

SMART AND FUN

 

Both smartphones feature a small, centred water-drop notch and come with a triple lens vertical camera system on the rear. Like the Mate20 Pro, they launch on the Kirin 980 chip, the world’s first 7nm Dual NPU Mobile AI chipset for Android phones.

 

 

Soundwise, the P30 Series’ new-to-market Acoustic Display employs the devices’ entire glass front panel as a vibrating omni-directional speaker, allowing for improved clarity and volume while doing away with the need for a speaker grille.

 

Both devices are loaded with the same intelligent, interactive AI as the Mate20 series. These include HiVision, which identifies the landmarks, paintings and food items you’re lensing; HiTouch, which recognises objects in your photo gallery and links you to shopping apps for immediate retail therapy; and AI Real-Time Translation.

 

Other functions include in-screen fingerprint sensor that unlocks within 0.5 seconds, dual-SIM functionality, 15W Wireless Quick Charge, and wireless reverse charging.

 

They come in three colour options – Breathing Crystal (a pearlescent white that shimmers with opalescent hues like a soap bubble; Aurora (a gradient hue that shifts from green to blue); and Black.

Bought my mate 20 pro too soon!

 

Do you have a choice? BTW, Mate 20 camera is as good as the new P30 Pro. The only thing lacking is the 5x optical zoom (up to 50x if combined with the 10x digital zoom).

 

Since you don't drive, the other special feature is not applicable too, so you have nothing to lose strictly speaking.

Near the end of a 90-minute press conference announcement about its new P30 smart phone in Paris earlier today, and just before announcing a pearl pink glamour case embedded with Swarovski crystals, Huawei CEO Richard Yu mentions that the new phone is constructed to work as an entry key for your car. While it would be great to not have to carry around a bulky key fob every day, there remain some bugs in the system to work out.

 

Where most car key fobs work with a button for lock and unlock, the Huawei system replaces that with the need to press your phone up against the door handle for it to unlock. You save the signature of your car’s key into your phone, and then you can leave the keys at home. Yu also mentions that the phone can unlock your home doors or office doors in a similar fashion if so equipped.

 

Huawei says the P30 already works as a car key on a number of new Audi products, with BMW coming soon and several other manufacturers on the docket for connection.
