It was expected, but it has not been until now that we have obtained confirmation. DxOMark has crowned a new king of mobile photography and, unfortunately, it is a phone that we cannot buy in Spain. We are talking, of course, about the Huawei Mate 40 Pro +, a phone that its younger brother Mate 40 Pro as the mobile with the best camera of 2020 .
The smartphone has obtained a final score of 139 points, setting a new record for the overall ranking of the analytical medium previously set at 136 points. Regarding the capture of photos, the Mate 40 Pro + achieved a partial score of 144 points, while in the zoom phase it was awarded a score of 98. In the video field, the smartphone has 115 points
There are many positives to the Mate 40 Pro + camera , although unsurprisingly many of them are also found in the Mate 40 Pro. The review makes a special allusion to a very wide dynamic range in all conditions, as well as an excellent exposure management. eThe level of detail is always excellent and autofocus is always efficient in almost all situations.
Among the negative points we find some sporadic problems with the appearance of visual artifacts and in the depth estimation.
When it comes to video recording, once again a dynamic range is always wide, an effective stabilization in all conditions and an always excellent texture / noise ratio are praised. Among the negatives we find some sporadic problems of managing shadows between one frame and another or slight problems that appeared when recording clips at night.
Despite tripping, Huawei continues to dominate in photography
Those of us who work day and night in the mobile telephony market know that the real reason that the Trump administration introduced Huawei to its Entity List, is not in the accusations of espionage by the brand but in the abrupt growth of a company. firm that in 2018 managed to unseat Apple (the largest known American company) as the second seller of telephones worldwide.
If it weren’t for the fact of not being able to count on Google services, we are sure that Huawei would have become one of Samsung‘s great rivals worldwide because, today, it has no rival in the field of photography .
Proof of this is the Top 5 of DxOMArk , where 3 of the 5 phones that appear there are owned by the manufacturer, with the Huawei Mate 40 Pro + and the Mate 40 Pro being the phones with the best camera of the year.
