AI Recognizes Subjects and Scenes, Also Corrects Horizon


HUAWEI's P series is renowned for its exceptional camera capabilities, with models featuring lenses co-developed with Leica. Among these, the HUAWEI P20 stands as the core model in the lineup.

The minimalist rear design houses a stylish arrangement of a approximately 20-megapixel monochrome sensor and a approximately 12-megapixel color sensor, both developed with Leica. Available in Midnight Blue, Pink Gold, and Black, the back features a beautiful mirror finish achieved through multi-layer glass coating.

A large 3400mAh battery and high-performance camera are housed within a slim body measuring approximately 7.65mm wide.

The dual-lens camera, composed of a monochrome and a color sensor, captures more light with its larger pixel size, producing clear images even in low-light conditions. Additionally, a color temperature sensor enables Leica's vibrant color reproduction.

The 4D Predictive Focus feature anticipates the movement of subjects like animals and children, tracking them automatically to ensure you never miss the perfect shot. Video can be captured in super slow-motion at 960fps. Beyond mere photos and videos, it offers the potential for artistic creations depending on your usage.

The superior camera performance of the HUAWEI P20 is not solely due to the lenses; the support of AI functions is also crucial.

The device's AI automatically recognizes 19 subjects and scenes, instantly optimizing shooting settings. Notably, 'dog' and 'cat' are classified as distinct subjects, a feature recommended for both dog and cat lovers.

Furthermore, AI handles horizon correction, field-of-view correction, and multi-frame image stabilization. This allows for beautiful photos to be taken without a tripod.

The front camera boasts approximately 24 megapixels, enabling high-quality selfies. AI recognizes faces and offers 10 levels of natural beauty correction in portrait mode. It also recognizes facial features in 3D, enhancing portraits for a more beautiful result.

The display is an approximately 5.8-inch Full HD+ TFT FullView Display, with specifications that allow for viewing captured images and videos in stunning clarity.
