Does the P50Pro meet our expectations for a Huawei smartphone camera, or has the competition caught up? We put it against the Pixel6Pro to find out.
It wasn’t that long ago that the camera on a Huawei smartphone was considered one of the best in the business. Its most recent release is the Huawei P50 Pro, and while the camera looks impressive again, the device itself has been overshadowed by the lack of 5G and the continued inability to use Google Mobile Services.
The P50 Pro uses Huawei’s XD Fusion Pro and True-Chroma image engines, promising to show true-to-life colors, and there are enhancements for the digital zoom mode and the portrait mode using A.I. Google also employs its computational photography expertise to enhance the photos taken with the Pixel 6 Pro. We’re already fans, and have put it up against the Apple iPhone 13 Pro and the Galaxy S21 Ultra.
Previous Next 1 of 2 The P50 Pro and the Pixel 6 Pro’s main cameras treat colors, exposure, and balance in the same way. Photos aren’t oversaturated, yet still have the right amount of pop so they’re shareable without too much editing. There’s detail when you zoom in, and the scenes look very similar to what I saw with my own eyes.
Previous Next 1 of 2 The P50 Pro’s aggressive treatment of colors does mean the photos look less realistic, something the Pixel avoids, and the tighter field of view lessens the fish-eye effect too.Night mode Lowlight photography has always been a Huawei strong point, but Google’s Night mode is equally revered, making this a tough battle.
The P50 Pro’s shot has a bluer sky and a blue tint on the water, with the spray attractively frozen in time, but the pebbles on the beach and the wooden breakers get a little lost in shadow so detail suffers. But the way it composes the overall scene, full of distinct elements, is very pretty. The Pixel 6 Pro gets the blur on the International logo right, but the level of detail is less impressive than the P50 Pro’s photo, plus the edge recognition isn’t as accurate either. I do prefer the tone of the Pixel’s photo, but could easily change that by editing the P50 Pro’s image, which is otherwise superior.
