Huawei P20 Pro 40MP Leica Triple Camera vs Other High Pixel camera smartphones

| Published: Thursday, May 3, 2018, 16:51 [IST]

Huawei, last month unveiled its P20 Pro at an event in Paris. And as tipped earlier, the P20 Pro features not one, not two, but three camera modules, which is also touted as one of the best alternatives to professional cameras.

Huawei P20 Pro 40MP Leica Triple Camera vs Other High camera phones

In a teardown we saw how both 20MP monochrome and the 40MP primary lens share a single connector port. While the 8MP telephoto lens has an exclusive connection to the motherboard. This shows that the company didn't reinvent the connection when it decided to add the telephoto lens; it hardly added a new connection on top of the normal dual camera connector.

To back up these claims, image quality reference site DxOMark has given the latest flagship the top spot among the current smartphones. The device scored a tremendous 109 rating for its camera.

Huawei P20 Pro's smaller sibling - the P20 secured the second place on DxOMark with a 102 rating. These two smartphones are followed by the Samsung Galaxy S9, Google Pixel 2, and the iPhone X.

But how does this camera stacks up against other smartphone cameras? Let's find out.
