The Huawei P10 smartphone comes with a new Leica dual camera 2.0

By LR admin | Published: March 4, 2017


The new Huawei P10 smartphone comes with a new Leica dual camera 2.0 (20MP monochrome sensor, 12MP RGB sensor and 8MP front camera):

“The devices’ portrait features include precise 3D facial detection technology, dynamic illumination and portrait enhancements. A smart imaging algorithm applies studio-like re-lighting and beautifying effects to create radiant portraits. Using the new depth-of-field algorithm, a natural bokeh effect creates sharper, clearer and more vivid colors in the foreground, while the background remains elegantly blurred.

The Huawei P10 Plus’ Leica Dual-Camera 2.0 Pro Edition includes new SUMMILUX-H Leica lenses with a larger F/1.8 aperture and higher optical capability. Co-developed with GoPro, the Huawei P10 and Huawei P10 Plus also feature Highlights, a mobile editing tool which creates a dynamic video of users’ images and videos.”
