    I am sure the photos are if not the best one of the best...but if you want a high end Soc you will bye Qualcomm, not a Kirin one!?!?! Lack of Google services is minus of course . Display is not high end too, Samsung a still top producer...And of course the big notch, man we are 2020!!! For 1000 euro area i consider Oppo X2, mi 10 Pro, One plus 8 or S 20 Ultra, although the last is without Qualcomm Soc for EU market !!!!

I myself prefer wider lens (I find 15-17mm to be a sweet spot that has the best balance between wideness, per pixel quality and distortion) for UWA camera, but I can definitely see the appeal of having a bit narrower one with a giant sensor.

              For sure I'm really satisfied with it. Its true a little bit wider can be interesting but also will be harder to compose, as there are too many things in 1 frame.

                    'This camera has improved autofocus - now it's an all pixel omnidirectional phase detection autofocus. This means that not only are there autofocus detectors on each pixel but they are 8 of them per pixel. As a result, the camera's autofocus sensing has improved response to horizontal details whereas conventional dual pixel autofocus systems have a hard time with those. This also means autofocusing should also be generally improved in low-light.'

                    This are straight statement from GSMarena themselves. In theory, it should be better than Dual Pixel.

                          About video quality, maybe I dont agree with the score as well (those jitters still emerge), but its Octa PDAF? Its as good as X2 Pro. Its one of the recipe for its excellent lowlight performer. (Dual Pixel in Samsung & Iphone were great as well).

                            No, in the smartphone world, this is not "Ultrawide" by any means, forget it.
                            And he knows the choice is up to him, what kind of argument i that, are you 6 years old?

                                What they now call ultrawide is just a little bit wider than galaxy's main cam.
                                I was already suffering going from S10+ to P30 Pro, lacking the power of Samsung's real ultrawide.
                                Again, what's the point of narrow "ultrawide"? Who cares that it's sharper, if it's unusable in interiors and weak in landscapes?

                                    AnonD-754814, 02 Apr 2020Yeah. For the crop factor, the main sensor isn't an Ultrawide. I wonder why they choose to crop. For me, theres only one simple answer.

                                    To eliminate corner softness completely, and to get a perfect free-distortion. The downside are overall sharpness will be sacrificed (fuzzy) and its evident on GSMarena studio setup, Mate 30 Pro still got the best in terms of details.

                                    However samples on DxO looks better. Maybe different firmware used.
