It can shoot 4K videos, HDR mode and can shoot 30FPS and 60 FPS and 1080p@960fps
The Huawei P60 camera was tested in various types of activities which included Astrophotography, Low light photography, videography, Time lapse, Light painting and a lot more.
The Huawei P60 Pro IMAGE triple camera performed very well, especially during low light and pitch-dark areas.
Trying out the Cameras
For Astrophotography, I went to Al Qudra Lake around midnight The on screen, you can see you get a PIP image of the moon by indicating and stabilizing the camera with OIS. With a little zooming and steady hands with support, I was able to capture the moon. Then with a tripod and setting the camera to PRO Mode. Adjusted the ISO setting and Aperture speed and we were able to capture the surrounding area which was pitch dark. Even though we clicked the night sky and to our bad luck it was not a very clear night, still got a decent image.
As for fun, we tried light painting effects with my friends trying to make a heart with two lighter. And this was possible with a 6-sec shutter speed and adjusting the ISO speed.
I tried the Time-lapse in Abu Dhabi Heritage Village area where I set the phone on a tripod and kept it rolling and got amazing video footage. Clicked some selfies and portrait shots and the result was great. Overall experience with the Image Triple was excellent and the best smartphone used so far.
And now Huawei comes with all necessary apps which include apps like Facebook, Whatsapp, Instagram, Youtube and a lot more.
Verdict
Huawei P60 Pro has proven again, the Huawei smartphone camera is the top leader when it comes to photography and videography. Even DXO Mark says the same thing. The best feature is the low light photography and non-technical term, pitch dark area gets illuminated by the P60 Pro camera. Another important feature is the aperture which has range from 1.4 to 4.0 which I have not seen so far in any other smartphone. In short, it is just like a DSLR camera in your pocket. The 10X optical zoom with 100X digital zoom is more than enough for any traveller or photographer to be content.
And now with added GBox app and Google apps, it completes the requirement of any consumer except for the Gmail app (coming soon). The Huawei OS has been very stable for years which I can vouch as I still have my Huawei P30 pro smartphone (2019) working fine. The body of the Huawei P60 Pro smartphone is very sturdy, sleek and stylish with a dual SIM Card Tray. Screen protection with “Kunlun Glass” which helps to protect the display from accidental drops and damages.
The overall experience of the Huawei P60 Pro is an excellent smartphone. I would recommend vloggers, photographers, videographers and anyone who loves a smartphone with great features.
The Huawei P60 Pro was launched on 10th May 2023 and is available in 4 colours Rococo Pearl, Violet, Black and Green. Priced at AED 4,399
