Super spotlight XMAGE imaging assists, Huawei P60 Pro unifies flagship imaging and lightweight fronts

Huawei P60 Pro combines flagship imaging with lightweight design, thanks to XMAGE imaging assistance

【PhoneAuto】I remember the last time I saw Huawei Terminal BG CTO Li Xiaolong was during Huawei HDC 2022. At that time, the Huawei Mate 50 series had just been released, and Li Xiaolong shared many stories behind XMAGE imaging and Beidou satellite communication at the media communication meeting. The Mate series returned with “breaking through the sky” technology after two years, which in my opinion was like shouting “we are back!”

Seeing Li Xiaolong again this time, he must still have a close relationship with the products, but the protagonist has changed to the Huawei P60 series and the Huawei Mate X3 series. Also after two years, the Huawei P series gave us a big surprise, while the Huawei Mate X3 can be described as returning like a king. I think it is not an exaggeration. These two products also use their hard power to conquer consumers.

Talking about the Huawei P60 series, the first keyword that comes to my mind is “Lokoko white”, which is indeed one of the most representative features of the P60 series. Due to the use of glare mother-of-pearl technology and the participation of manual processes, the pattern of each Huawei P60 Lokoko white is unique, which is very leading in the digital product industry.

• Price reduction is great! Yesterday, the pre-sale sales volume of Redmi K60 was 15 times that of the main competitors
• What are the differences between the OPPO Reno10 series? We have uncovered these details
• Sony Xperia 1 V, a movie-inspired imaging smartphone, appears at Sony Expo 2023

However, as the flagship of imaging aesthetics, the imaging experience is the killer of the Huawei P60 series, especially the Huawei P60 Pro. At this media communication meeting, when Li Xiaolong introduced the research and development story behind the Huawei P60 series, he used a lot of space to talk about the super-focus XMAGE imaging.

As an imaging flagship, the Huawei P60 Pro is definitely a special existence. Compared with several imaging flagships of other brands, with a body thickness of 8.3mm and a weight of 200g, the Huawei P60 Pro is currently the lightest and thinnest imaging flagship. In addition, the thickness of the Huawei P60 series lens module is also the lowest among the new imaging flagships. The Deco area does not affect the comfort of holding the phone, which is quite commendable.

The camera module on the Huawei P60 Pro may not protrude, but its hardware is definitely not to be underestimated. The physical variable aperture is preserved on the Huawei P60 Pro. While the main camera currently has the industry’s largest F1.4 aperture, it also supports ten levels of aperture adjustment from F1.4 to F4.0. Previously on the Huawei Mate 50 series, we have fully appreciated the creative advantages brought by this variable aperture. Now on the Huawei P60 Pro, it is even more outstanding. Firstly, the main camera has an advantage in image quality. On this basis, the F1.4 aperture can provide stronger light intake and better blurring effect, while the F4.0 aperture can bring a wider focus plane, enhancing the depth of field. All of this is achieved through physical means, so the effect is also more comfortable for people.

At the same time, the telephoto experience of the Huawei P60 Pro is also well-known, with many industry-first black technologies at play. The telephoto lens aperture of the Huawei P60 Pro’s periscope reaches the industry’s largest F2.1. It also adopts an industry-first super-telephoto lens group, combined with the industry-first sensor horizontal prism optical system architecture, which significantly increases the light intake of the entire periscope telephoto lens, and reduces the thickness by about 20% compared to traditional single-prism modules. This is also one of the secrets why the Huawei P60 Pro can maintain a thin and light design. The improvement in night vision and telephoto capabilities is obvious. The Huawei P60 Pro can capture more scenes, such as the “super moonlight” with foreground moon shots, taking mobile imaging to a new level in composition and playability.

In addition, in terms of the most important recording ability for mobile imaging, the Huawei P60 Pro can do more, such as long-focus portraits at night, where it has an absolute advantage.

On the other hand, thanks to the industry-first long-travel slide zoom lens group, the focusing travel of the Huawei P60 Pro is effectively reduced, supporting long-focus macro functionality. This is also a feature that I personally like very much, because I like to record the time spent with cats, and its long-focus macro can capture some authentic expressions without disturbing them.

It is worth mentioning that through the industry’s first three-axis sensor displacement stabilization, the Huawei P60 Pro also has better stabilization consistency at the long-focus end.

Huawei’s imaging XMAGE was officially announced in July last year. Through the Huawei Mate 50 series and Huawei P60 series, we can see that Huawei has given XMAGE imaging a more distinctive positioning and personality in each specific product series. It is called super light-changing XMAGE imaging on the Huawei Mate 50 series, and corresponds to super-concentrated XMAGE imaging on the Huawei P60 series.

In fact, this also reflects Huawei’s attitude towards imaging. In addition to numerous industry-first structural designs, the difference in product thinking is also an important reason why the Huawei P60 Pro can maintain a slim and compact lens module. Instead of blindly pursuing sensor size, Huawei has put more energy into how to allow the phone to obtain more incident light, so the Huawei P60 Pro’s night shooting ability is also very strong.

In my opinion, there is no distinction between the Huawei P60 Pro and other flagship products in terms of product concept. However, Huawei has a more unique and profound understanding of mobile imaging, thanks to its years of exploration in this field. At the same time, Huawei’s long-term investment in research and development has enabled it to provide users with a more excellent user experience in terms of hardware capabilities. In addition, Huawei’s pursuit of algorithms and styles in XMAGE imaging reflects both the calmness and confidence of veteran artists and the innovation of the new generation towards traditional art. In short, I am looking forward to Huawei bringing more good products like the Huawei P60 Pro in the future.
