Huawei’s P20 Pro has more optical image stabilization than we thought
The Huawei P20 Pro is making its way into the world, which means it’s time for the requisite iFixit teardown
so we can see what makes Huawei’s latest flagship tick. While most of
it is pretty standard stuff, there are a few surprises, including the
fact that the triple-lens camera setup has more optical image
stabilization than we originally thought.
According to Huawei, only the 8-megapixel telephoto lens
officially has hardware OIS, but, as seen in the teardown, all three
lenses seem to have the stabilizing hardware on board, which is a nice
bonus. It’s a little weird that Huawei — which is touting the camera as
one of the major innovations of the P20 Pro — would be underselling its
camera here since it seems to have all the hardware in place.
A possible explanation is that Huawei is looking to talk
up the various software improvements it has in place to improve camera
quality that it says makes physical OIS unnecessary, like its AI Image
Stabilization feature. But if the P20 Pro does have hardware
stabilization, it makes the argument that Huawei’s software is a
replacement a little disingenuous.
