Huawei has officially shared the first photograph taken by the camera of the Huawei P50 Pro, which highlights its ability to focus and freeze motion. The photo has been posted on Huawei’s Weibo account and has been tagged with “For wonderful moments, every second counts and the Huawei P50 series freezes every decisive moment.” Although the smartphone will not be presented until July 29 according to the latest reports, we have already seen its real appearance. The image shared by Huawei shows two athletes practicing fencing and the shot has frozen the action. Capturing a moving subject is difficult, as it is not easy to maintain focus and freeze time without blurring the resulting image.

With this image, the company seems to point to the new ultra-fast focusing ability of the Huawei P50 Pro, which can focus and capture the subject even while in motion. For this task, Huawei is likely to use a new camera with a ‘liquid lens’, which can adjust the focus plane in milliseconds to deliver sharp images regardless of the distance from the object to the camera.

Liquid lenses: What are they and what do they bring to cameras?

Liquid lenses have been around for years, but are often used in industrial applications where traditional lenses with moving mechanical parts could wear out too quickly. Traditional camera lenses are made of glass and the focal length depends on the material it is made from and the radius of its curvature. Liquid lenses are made up of a liquid capable of changing shape at a very rapid rate and can therefore change the focal length at will. The ability to focus near and far in a matter of milliseconds makes the integration of liquid lenses an ideal choice for smartphones. However, liquid lenses are not perfect. Although they can be very compact and extremely fast, they do not have far from the imaging performance of traditional multi-element lenses, so we are waiting to know their performance on a smartphone.

What do we know about the Huawei P50?

A recent report points out that the Huawei P50 will be announced on July 29 in China, and it will arrive with the world’s first 4G version of the Snapdragon 888 chipset. We have already heard that Huawei will launch a Huawei P50 with 4G connectivity due to the limitation of the company to acquire 5G technology, and this rumor seems to be in line with such information, citing August as the launch month. The filing date of July 29 is not new either, since a few weeks ago another report cited this same date. Thanks to a recent Weibo leak, we’ve already been able to see the first live images of the upcoming Huawei P50 series in two colors, as well as a shiny new design. # gallery-1 {margin: auto; } # gallery-1 .gallery-item {float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 50%; } # gallery-1 img {border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } # gallery-1 .gallery-caption {margin-left: 0; } / * see gallery_shortcode () in wp-includes / media.php * /

Unfortunately, there is not much information about the hardware of the Huawei P50 Pro, but if we are guided by the information above, it will launch with Huawei’s Kirin 9000 at first and then move to the Snapdragon 888 due to chip shortages. Photography has always been the focus of Huawei’s “P” series of smartphones. The P50 Pro is expected to feature the largest camera sensor of any phone, matching that of the Sharp Aquos R6. We can also confirm that the partnership with Leica remains despite rumors of a breakup between the German camera maker and the Chinese giant.
