Anson Zhang, Managing Director of the UK Consumer Business Group, Huawei said: “The HUAWEI P40 Pro+ continues the P Series’ heritage of imaging excellence, thanks to the unique HUAWEI Ultra Vision Sensor, SuperZoom Array and pro-level cinematic features. The handset also brings ultra-fast speed to consumers with the high-performance Kirin 990 5G Chipset, to connect people and the world around them instantly.”
All-Day Super Definition Photography
The Ultra Vision Leica Penta Camera found on the HUAWEI P40 Pro+ features Huawei’s industry-leading 1/1.28-inch sensor, which supports pixel binning to achieve a pixel size of 2.44μm. Combined with the RYYB colour filter array, this enables the camera to take in massive light and detail for super clarity day and night. The main camera sensor is also the world’s first to support Full Pixel Octa PD AutoFocus, for precise details regardless of the scene complexity and light conditions.
The HUAWEI P40 Pro+ unique SuperZoom Array comprises of two telephoto cameras for 3x and 10x optical zoom and up to 100x maximum digital zoom, thanks to the advanced periscope design with light-reflecting prisms. Combined with Triple OIS+AIS, the HUAWEI P40 Pro+ provides the best image stabilisation ever on a HUAWEI P Series device, for unrivalled zoom performance.
The front dual camera features a 32MP camera with auto-focus and an IR depth camera, which work closely together to produce flawless selfies with natural bokeh effects. New HUAWEI Golden Snap is also available on the HUAWEI P40 Pro+, which includes AI Best Moment, an intelligent photography feature that chooses the best frames from a Moving Picture. AI Remove Passerby and AI Remove Reflection also remove unwanted subjects and glare from the frame, making quality photographic results even more readily available.
A Powerfully Compact Video Camera
The HUAWEI P40 Pro+ 40MP Ultra-Wide Cine Camera makes full use of the ISO 51200 light sensitivity to support low-light video capture, which can be a challenge even when using professional equipment. Together with the SedecimPixel Fusion Technology, which produces super pixels measuring 4.48μm, the device can achieve bright and clear footage at night.
The Cine Camera also supports HDR content capture, 7680fps Ultra Slow-Motion recording and real-time Bokeh effects for videos – similar to the results provided by a wide aperture lens. The telephoto camera can capture high quality zoom footage as well as 4K time-lapse videos, plus the new Directional Audio Zoom allows users to zoom in on an audio source and amplify its sound at the same time.
