Video autofocus works as well as that for stills, delivering quick and reliable focus with good tracking, and the stabilization system effectively keeps things steady when walking or holding the camera still in your hands, making the P40 Pro a true mobile video powerhouse.Īlso consider: Competition at the top of our Video ranking is fierce and the differences between devices are pretty small. Noise is very well under control in good light, but temporal noise becomes visible under low tungsten illumination. The P40 Pro renders detail pretty well, but we occasionally saw a loss of fine textures. Video stabilization is particularly good. There’s very little to complain about with the P40 Pro’s video footage. Video footage shows good exposure and wide dynamic range, with only some minor clipping in challenging high-contrast scenes and as long as you are not recording under low tungsten light, white balance and color rendering are mostly accurate. Like for stills, the camera does not show any real weaknesses in any of the test categories, and is either the best or among the best in all of them. The Huawei P40 Pro isn’t only the best phone we have tested for photo capture, it also tops our ranking for Video with 105 points. Still, both devices are excellent options for mobile photographers. Overall, the Huawei P40 is currently the device of choice for mobile users with a focus on still photography.Īlso consider: Both the Honor 30 Pro+ and Huawei Mate 30 Pro 5G come pretty close to the P40 Pro across a range of test categories, but lag behind a little more noticeably for Zoom and Night photography. In addition, bokeh mode captures natural-looking portrait shots, with good subject isolation, pleasant bokeh shape, and a wide dynamic range and the autofocus system is one of the best we have seen on a smartphone, performing flawlessly in lab and real-life conditions alike.

The ultra-wide camera doesn’t offer the widest field-of-view we have seen but image quality is excellent. This means the Huawei is a great option even in challenging conditions, such as high-contrast scenes or very low light. Images captured on the P40 Pro’s main camera show a very wide dynamic range and class-leading texture/ noise balance. The score is based on top-level photo performance across all test categories, without any real weaknesses in sight. With a Photo score of 140, the Huawei P40 Pro is currently the top device for still image capture in our database. So without further ado, here are the currently best smartphone cameras, by category: Best for Photo: Huawei P40 Pro
