So, while they boasted about a bigger sensor than the Samsung, it actually shoots cropped by default, and in non-cropped mode provides good as useless quality, so the effective imaging area is in fact smaller.
Also, from the studio shots it's pretty clear that the texture is getting waxy again just when they came close to fixing it in P30P, in many areas of the studio shots P40P exhibited a regression compared to its predecessor, and both are generally inferior to the GS20U, which itself has yet to entirely sort out its processing algorithm.
Bravo. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    That software does not do the hardware justice at all.

    With such a large sensor and pixels you would expect the main camera to be leaps ahead of competition, but they are pretty similar.

    Since camera is only on par with the other flagships at best,
    There is literally no point buying this phone without Google.

          Camera hardware is just mindblowing, software not make use most of it. Ultrawide photos are just excellent.

          But without google store people won't buy it. And for me it lacks good stereo speakers too.

                  Problem with night photos is the shutter is too fast.
                  Other brands have different ways to do it.

                  1) low iso and slow shutter (between 1s - 1/4s) : depends how dark is the place, photo can come out bit underexposed

                  2) not that slower shutter (1/8s - 1/16) with more Iso: photo will be brighter, but bit noisier and maybe issues with light sources.


                  Many of these photos are shutter 1/30s - 1/50s

So the super large 75mm² sensor is actually misleading for most people because the default mode doesn't use such a large sensor area and only uses 9 megapixels. It's not clear whether one can take photos with the total sensor area in pixel binning mode at 23mm or whether it will use data from the ultra wide angle camera.

                              Colors from camera are finally warm, great improvement. Still won't be as accurate as xperia I guess, got to wait for comparison.

                                looks smart, great design, brilliant specs. but depending of how you look at launching a phone this current climate is either, commercial suicide or marketing genius. im not sure which one. if it had google services, and google support I can honestly say this would go down a storm in uk. Hell china needs some serious good vibes now

                                  Nick Tagataka, 26 Mar 2020"The colors are completely off with some weird red tint" "Keep begging Huawei for an update" ... moreMaybe you need to get your eyes checked.
                                  There is a huge difference in those two images.
                                  P40 pro produces way darker images but then that is what you can expect from a small sensor. S20 ultra has way better dynamic range and details. Noise is also incredibly low for telephoto.

                                  And gcam works on Exynos as well.
                                  Have s10 running gcam. Only front camera portrait mode doesn't work.
                                  Rest works beautifully. Besides you don't need fully functioning gcam, like I could care less if the photosphere feature worked or not or whether video quality through gcam is better or not.
                                  I utilize gcam only in low light mode for images. Rest is done through stock.

                                  Same way ppl on S20 ultra will utilize gcam for telephoto lens, for rest, there is stock camera. You can keep begging Huawei for better performance which simply isn't possible with small sensor. Only gcam can transform things for Huawei telephoto in low light. Unfortunately, Huawei locking bootloaders locks out full potential of this device.
