Huawei P60 Pro - Still Mighty Good After All The Sanctions

[bloodlmt]

I am no Dxomark believer, but the camera on the P60 Pro turns out to be very good. Huawei Xmage Original color instead of Leica color science seems very well-tuned for most day-to-day shooting. The Xmage Vivid and Bright are not to my liking, overly saturated and prone to overexpose.

The telemacro ~90mm is the killer feature of P60 Pro, it's good for close-up, portraits, and general zoom purposes. It's even sharper and better than Xiaomi 13 Pro that also has Tele macro zoom setup.

Since Huawei Mate 60 Pro is rumored to use the 1-inch sensor, i am now looking forward to its announcements in the next 3-4 months. I guess I am done using smartphone with a smaller than 1-inch sensor, kinda similar feeling to "yeah no more crop sensor for me" after tasting the Full-frame sensor glory.

Huawei have and have always had some of the most natural processing in terms of SOOC jpegs. The battery life and hardware have also always been stellar. Pity about no Google stuff but it's not the nightmare people think.

I don't know about politics but from technological point of view, it's unfortunate how Huawei got sanctioned.

Started the big sensor race and were giving Samsung a run for their money.

P40 Pro Plus was probably their peak. Excellent phone with a big main sensor, great zoom cameras and nice processing.

P60 Pro looks nice too. As far as I know its sensor is smaller than P40 Pro Plus though. I wonder when are they going to go to 1"-type sensors, that should be interesting. I like the processing on their main cameras.

If their sanctions were to be removed, they would have Samsung and Xiaomi against the ropes pretty quickly again.

The F4.0 (or even 2.8 instead of only F.14 for the 1/1.43" sensor) seems like a blessing at least for me who I am trying to get a flower fully in focus and due to large sensor and wide aperture ( f/1.9, and 1/1.32" sensor) it's never all in focus and for documentation purposes it is quite annoying. One would say but well the wide apertures result in images with less noise or less mushy denoise effect, yes that is true but in the case when someone takes a photo, say at 2.8 during the in will lit situation the ISO will be low anyway so the variable aperture seems awesome.

I like that Sony PRO-I has such option for their large 1" sensor, but their other sensors are pretty underwhelming for the price.
