Huawei announces new product 'P40' in Corona… 5 cameras
Huawei and Corona are also announcing new product 'P40'...I put up five cameras.
Huawei, which has become the "one stroke" of the Trump administration by putting Samsung's chase at the forefront, has released its latest smartphone "P40" series. Although Google's major services such as YouTube, Gmail, and Play Store are not allowed to use Google's major services, they are characterized by five cameras, far more than Samsung Electronics and Apple. In other words, he showed off his confidence in camera field, which he collaborated with Leica in Germany for many years. Huawei is aiming to turn around its sales to P40 in the second quarter of this year, as it has lost sales to Xiaomi due to the recent outbreak of coronavirus infection (Covid-19).
Emphasize image sensor size instead of pixel count
Huawei introduced three new models online on the 26th (local time) including P40, P40, and P40+.
The P40 Pro Plus, the top-class model, has only five rear-facing cameras and the so-called "penta cameras." Like Huawei, which introduced "triple cameras" in the P20 in 2018, it is equipped with a large camera module in the form of an induction, which is about 2mm sticking out on the back of its smartphone.
When the company announced its P40 on the same day, Huawei gave some variation to its strategy of putting forward the latest component specifications. While the Galaxy S20 Ultra, unveiled by Samsung last month, has a 180 million pixel image sensor, Huawei has put a 50 million pixel image sensor in its top-class P40 percent plus. Instead, it has drastically increased the size of the sensor. The 50 million pixel (1/1.28 inch) on the P40 percent plus is larger than the 180 million pixel (1/1.33 inch) on the Galaxy S20 Ultra. Rather than the number of pixels, the company is trying to differentiate itself by using the area (water surface area) that actually accepts light.
"Image sensors in the P40 are the largest among image sensors for smartphones," said Richard Wee, CEO of Huawei's Consumer Business Group. "Even when compared to iPhone 11 Promax, we are 200 percent more capable of accepting light."
"Image sensors in the P40 are the largest among existing image sensors for smartphones," said Richard Wee, CEO of Huawei's Consumer Business Group.
Huawei did not mention any 8K videos that Samsung boasts. "The P40 series will provide the best video quality in 4K," said CEO Richard Wi. Huawei, which introduced 50-fold zoom before Samsung last year, is equipped with the same 100-fold zoom function as Samsung this time.
Because of the Covid-19 crisis, Xiaomi was behind last month.
Although Huawei is a camera-driven Huawei, P40 cannot use Google services like Mate 30, which was released in the second half of last year. Huawei announced on the same day that it would provide up to $1 billion in incentives for developers who post applications on their "app galleries."
With the U.S. Trump administration sanctioned, Huawei's smartphone sales (five million units) came in fourth last month as Covid-19 overlapped. Although Samsung and Apple are the same Chinese companies, they lag behind Xiaomi (5.5 million units) whose online sales are high. U.S. economic broadcaster CNBC commented, "While Huawei has released a flagship phone that would be a rival of Samsung and Apple, the timing is unlucky.
