it can be found on the upper edge of the case.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"regressive_image lazyloaded\" title=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stereoindex.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/4_techweek.\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>What is really cool is IP68 water protection.\u00a0The real one, officially declared, without these \u201cwell, if you drop it into the water, nothing will happen, but that\u2019s not for sure.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Screen<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Diagonal: 6.6 inches, OLED<\/li>\n<li>Resolution: 2700\u00d71228 pixels<\/li>\n<li>Max.\u00a0refresh rate: 120Hz<\/li>\n<li>Pixel density: 450 PPI<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Well, that&#8217;s all, the negative is over, although it was purely subjective.\u00a0The rest of the photo flagship causes only delight.\u00a0The screen here is simply gorgeous, and there is not a single characteristic that should be criticized.\u00a0The OLED matrix is \u200b\u200bcapable of displaying 1 billion shades, supports the DCI-P3 color range.\u00a0The colors are as realistic as possible, there is no need to correct them through the settings.\u00a0Hertsovka, of course, increased &#8211; up to 120 Hz.\u00a0You can choose the limit manually or trust the electronics.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"widget-photo\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"regressive_image lazyloaded\" title=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stereoindex.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/6_techweek.\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n<p>Although the maximum brightness is not indicated, it is clearly with a margin even for sunny weather.\u00a0As befits OLED screens, there is an always-on display mode.\u00a0The principal feature is the effective suppression of PWM.\u00a0According to the measurements of our colleagues, the ripple coefficient does not exceed 10%, and this is an excellent result.<\/p>\n<h2>cameras<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Primary: 50 MP, f\/1.8, hybrid autofocus, optical stabilization<\/li>\n<li>Telephoto: 64 MP, f \/ 3.5, phase detection autofocus, optical stabilization<\/li>\n<li>Wide angle: 13MP<\/li>\n<li>Monochrome: 40 MP<\/li>\n<li>Front: 13 MP, f\/2.4<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If most smartphones have a high-resolution main camera, the Huawei P50 Pro, I would say, has two main cameras at once.\u00a0They are just for different purposes.\u00a0The first works on a 50 megapixel sensor, no matter how strange it sounds against the background of 108 megapixel cameras in the middle segment.\u00a0The second, with a telephoto lens &#8211; 64 megapixels, it is also used for macro photography.\u00a0Moreover, there is no need to manually switch from tele to macro &#8211; everything works automatically.\u00a0Importantly, both cameras have autofocus.\u00a0Also, Huawei P50 Pro is one of the few smartphones that can really take cool macro shots.<\/p>\n<p>As for the conventional camera, there is no point in discussing its performance in good light.\u00a0Autofocus is accurate and colors are perfect.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"widget-photo\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"regressive_image lazyloaded\" title=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stereoindex.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/7_techweek.\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n<p>You can blur the background in Portrait and Aperture modes.\u00a0Why is there a 40-megapixel monochrome camera here at all?\u00a0No, not only for bokeh decoration.\u00a0Due to the absence of color filters, the monochrome sensor captures much more light.\u00a0Combining information from two cameras, color and monochrome, the processor forms a well-detailed, detailed image.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"widget-photo\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"regressive_image lazyloaded\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stereoindex.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/8_techweek.\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Night mode works flawlessly.\u00a0The main thing is to fix the smartphone for a couple of seconds so as not to get a blurry frame.<\/p>\n<p>It is logical that there should be no problems with zoom with such a set of cameras.\u00a0The interface of the application for shooting immediately offers the option of 3.5x &#8211; that is, the transition to a telephoto lens.\u00a0And with such a zoom, the picture is no worse than on the main camera.\u00a0Optical stabilization plays a big role: after all, we know that the longer the focus, the more difficult it is to keep the device without \u201cshaking\u201d.\u00a0Even a picture taken with a 10x zoom (here already a hybrid one) looks on the smartphone screen as if it had no zoom at all.<\/p>\n<p>The maximum magnification for Huawei P50 Pro is 100x.\u00a0There is no need to talk about artistic photographs here, but it is quite possible to make out some kind of fresco or inscription from afar.<\/p>\n<p>The main camera can shoot video in 4K resolution at 60 frames per second.\u00a0There are several interesting modes: for example, dual shooting, which uses the main and front cameras at the same time.\u00a0Or \u201cStory Creator\u201d, which allows you to shoot ready-made stories for Instagram lasting 13 seconds with various effects and music.<\/p>\n<h2>Performance<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Processor: Qualcomm Snapdragon 888<\/li>\n<li>Memory capacity: 8\/256 GB<\/li>\n<li>Operating system: Android 11 with EMUI 12<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>To be honest, last year no one expected a P50 Pro with Snapdragon &#8211; everyone was almost sure that Kirin would be inside.\u00a0But unexpectedly, the flagship came out on \u201cthree eights\u201d, and then Huawei fans were interested in the following question: what about heating?<\/p>\n<p>Nothing new, warm.\u00a0Not to say that it burns, but after 5 minutes.\u00a0active gaming you begin to experience slight discomfort.\u00a0True, fps drawdown is not felt, that is, the SoC still does not reach critical temperatures.<\/p>\n<p>Another surprise: regular Android 11 with EMUI 12 skin instead of actively promoted Harmony.\u00a0More familiar and easier, plus Harmony allows you to experience the maximum benefits when you have other devices in the ecosystem.\u00a0There are no Google services, but this has not been a problem for a long time.\u00a0Everything AppGallery lacks is perfectly searched for by Petal Search.\u00a0It even displays on the same screen as the results of the Huawei branded store.\u00a0You just need to download the apk file and run it.\u00a0For example, we installed Geekbanch 5 in this way.<\/p>\n<h2>Battery<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Battery capacity: 4360 mAh<\/li>\n<li>Fast charging support: 66W (wired), 50W (wireless)<\/li>\n<li>Reverse charging<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>There were no record values \u200b\u200bhere: a 4360 mAh battery, 66 W charging and an adapter included.\u00a0But that doesn&#8217;t bother me at all.\u00a0When in half an hour you can charge your smartphone by 70-80%, the capacity ceases to be paramount.\u00a0Strictly speaking, the battery is not enough for 2 days (if you do not use the flagship as a banal dialer).\u00a0But for one &#8211; with a guarantee, even taking into account active gaming.<\/p>\n<p>If you buy a wireless device that supports Huawei SuperCharge, you can charge the P50 Pro at almost the same speed.\u00a0Here the maximum power is 50 W, which is very cool for powering without a wire.\u00a0In addition, there is reverse charging (from a smartphone, you can charge, for example, headphones).<\/p>\n<h3>Conclusion<\/h3>\n<p>The smartphone continues to set the standard in mobile photography, while maintaining the continuity of the line.\u00a0If a 120-Hz slick OLED screen, Snapdragon 888 and fast charging no longer surprise anyone, then cool cameras with amazing zoom and full IP68 protection even among flagships still need to be looked for. Definitely, by this time the Chinese brand will have another photo flagship, and maybe more than one<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Huawei&#8217;s P-series is associated primarily with cool cameras.\u00a0Devices of different generations have repeatedly flashed in our\u00a0ratings of camera phones\u00a0, and Huawei P50 Pro has also already received positive reviews from experts around the world.\u00a0The more interesting it became to test it.
