Huawei P20 Pro cameras explained By TechRadar

Hey guys you're watching Schrader, I'm basil and this video is all about the whole EP 20 pros camera. It's an explainer, video of sorts. Now, if you caught our rumors videos, you'll have known that I've compared it to the Nokia Preview. If the rumors were anything to go by this thing had a big sensor net over samples into a smaller image and the rumors have been absolutely true, so I'm going to explain it well in a lot more detail with the confirmed specifications. So you've got this 14 megapixel RGB stand! So that's a color sensor, nice big sensor, but there's no optical image. Stabilization rather you've got something called an is on their artificial image stabilization.

So it uses all the information across all the cameras to hold everything. Nice and still digitally. You've also got a monochrome sensor, that's black and white. This is 20 megapixels, nice big aperture on that. So it should let a lot of light in and help generally with low-light performance, as well as captured perspective information.

So you can do those Huawei tricks, we've seen before blurry background sharp foreground and obviously the very, very cool light trail mode that I keep banging on about. In addition, you've got the optical zoom camera, and it has optical image stabilization, which is great 8 megapixels. It's not the highest pixel count, but thanks to a smart zoom technique that, while we're users they claim, you can get a relatively lossless 5 times. Zoom from this, combining the 40 megapixels of information, where that optical zoom back to the 40 megapixel RGB sensor, and while it will have tiny pixels itself, it only outputs, 10, megapixel images, and it does this because of a technique called over sampling. It grabs a collection of pixels squishes them together, averages out the image information within each pixel and produces the best pixel possible, or that's how it's meant to work.

We've seen this on the Nokia 808 Preview and the Lucia 1020 before has a 41 megapixel sensor that squishes images down into 5 megapixel images and for their time they were two of the best camera phones around. This doesn't just bode well for quality. It also bodes well for storage because having a ton of 40 megapixel images on your smartphone yeah, it's going to fill it up pretty quickly, even if you do have 128 gigs onboard by default. What's really nice is that you can actually override all this over something and shoot 14 megapixels by default. You might wonder why you'd ever want to if you can get this thing on a tripod, bypassing that AIS flicking full manual mode on while gives you a shutter speed of over 30 seconds.

This means, if you point it up at stars, you can do star trails really beautifully and with 14 megapixels of information. It's really gonna. Look incredible! Even when you zoom in. If it's a well-lit day, you can also crop into shots, so you can get multiple pictures out of your individual 14 megapixels snap. To give you an idea, what the competition's working with well Ollie claims that the p20 Pro, that's 40, megapixel image over sampled down to 10 will give you the equivalent of a two micron pixel size.

Apple's iPhone has a 1.2 2 micron pixel size, while the Samsung Galaxy S 9 has a 1.4 micron pixel size. Now, the while app 20 regular beats both of those at one point: 5 5 microns, but the p20 Pro reigns supreme. If very stands up to reality. There is a lot more picture quality than just pixels size. You've got to consider the aperture of the lens you've got to consider the image stabilization being used, whether the is really coming good in the end, and you've also got to consider the software look at the Google Pixel series they're able to wipe the floor with the majority of the competition, not because of the hardware being used, but because Google has fine-tuned the software to balance contrast, exposure, saturation and everything just very, very well, and so on paper.

The wall AP 20 pro really does excite. It offers something we've seen before over sampling paired with something new that an is and how it all comes together in a smartphone that looks this good in 2018. I think this will be one of the hottest anticipated reviews of the year. Hopefully until a review drops you've enjoyed this video.
