Today Huawei launched its new high-end smartphone, the Mate 40 Pro, and weβve had one of the first units in for testing under version 4 of the DXOMARK Camera test protocol. The camera setup is very similar to the P40 Pro launched earlier this year, but there are some subtle differences. The Mate 40 Proβs primary camera does not feature an optical stabilization system but otherwise comes with the same 1/1.28β³ sensor and f/1.9-aperture lens as the P-series model. The ultra-wide camera retains the P40 Proβs lens with an f/1.8 aperture and 18 mm equivalent field of view, but now uses a 20 MP sensor with bigger pixels instead of 40 MP. The specs of the 5x tele-camera remain unchanged.
With relatively few changes compared to the P40 Proβs camera specifications, we were curious to see if the Huawei engineers were able to increase image quality and camera performance even further on the new model. Read on to find out if they succeeded and how the Huawei Mate 40 Pro performed under the brand-new version 4 of the DXOMARK Camera test protocol
