The device boasts cutting-edge technology, a sleek design, innovative features, and a standout camera system. The P60 Pro has a triple camera setup, with a super sensing' primary camera that offers a 25mm wide angle, variable aperture adjustment of F1.4 to F4.0, and optical image stabilization. The camera system also includes an RYYB color filter and Huawei's proprietary XMAGE imaging technology, which the company claims provide industry-leading low-light performance.

A game-changer in mobile photography

The P60 Pro camera setup consists of a 48 MP Ultra Lighting primary camera with OIS, a 13 MP Ultra-Wide Angle camera, and a 48 MP Ultra Lighting Telephoto camera with OIS. This trio of powerful lenses, combined with the device's advanced imaging technologies, enables users to capture stunning photographs in various conditions.

One of the standout features of the P60 Pro's camera system is its innovative and improved XMAGE technology, first seen in the Huawei Mate 50 Pro. This unique feature allows users to select from a range of styles, including Original, Vivid, and Bright, enabling them to achieve their desired visual effect in each photograph.

The Original style captures images with dazzling true-to-life colors, perfect for those seeking a natural look in their photos. The Vivid style, on the other hand, enhances the vibrancy of colors, producing eye-catching images with a bold and dynamic appearance. The Bright style lightens the overall appearance of the photograph, providing an ethereal and dreamy effect that can be ideal for specific compositions.

With XMAGE technology, Huawei said, users can experiment with different styles, expressing their artistic vision and creating images that truly stand out from the crowd.

"The P60 series also boasts the industry's first Ultra Lighting XMAGE Camera. Supporting a physically variable aperture, ranging from F1.4 to F4.0 that was first used on the Mate 50 series, the P60 series features a high-transmission lens group with F1.4 wide aperture that greatly improves light intake. The primary camera also incorporates a RYYB SuperSensing sensor which increases the amount of light entering at pixel level by 40%, greatly improving light sensitivity." Says, Marty Bian, Head of Smartphone Product Marketing Department of Huawei Consumer Business Group.

Capturing the beauty of the night

The smartphone's camera system is designed to excel in low-light conditions. The Ultra Lighting Telephoto Camera utilizes multiple lens groups and an F2.1 large aperture, allowing it to absorb 178% more light. This feature ensures that images are sharp and detailed, even when capturing dimly lit scenes from a distance. The camera's Anti-shake Sensor Rotation ensures that moving subjects remain crisp and blur-free.

The Ultra Lighting Main Camera features an auto-adjustable physical aperture, which allows it to produce sharp and vibrant photos in various lighting conditions. This adjustable aperture also enables users to achieve stunning bokeh effects in their photographs, adding an extra layer of depth and dimension.

The device's RYYB sensor significantly boosts light intake, ensuring that images captured in low-light environments are detailed and well-lit. This feature, combined with the camera's high dynamic range capabilities, allows users to capture breathtaking nightscapes in high definition.

Bringing the moon closer

The smartphone's camera also boasts of its moon-shooting capabilities, enabling users to capture stunning images of the moonlit sky, beautiful sunrises, and sunsets. This feature encourages users to explore the possibilities of low-light photography and discover the beauty of the world around them, even when daylight has faded.

"The Ultra Lighting Telephoto Camera ensures that we can take not only photos of subjects from afar at night but also sharp photos. This feature actually means we can capture incredibly clear images of the moon. The P60 Pro comes with a periscope telephoto camera and a main camera with the highest light intake of any phone camera on the market," added Marty Bian.

A new level of macro-photography

Super macro mode is a feature that allows photographers to take close-up shots of small objects, bringing out details that are easily missed by the naked eye. This mode is handy for capturing the intricate details of everyday objects, such as dew drops and leaves. Super macro mode is also popular in nature photography, where it can be used to capture the details of insects, flowers, and other small creatures. Super macro photography is challenging due to the narrow depth of field and the very close working distances.

Bason Wang, Marketing Director of Huawei Philippines Consumer Business Group, taught me a technique for getting a telephoto macro mode using the periscope lens of the Huawei P60 Pro. The simple but clever procedure allows me to take macro shots from afar, and it helps capture macro images of subjects that are difficult to approach, such as insects or animals. Super macro photography is challenging but rewarding if you get it right. Now with the P60 Pro, it has become much simpler but with more remarkable results.

Cinematic masterpieces at your fingertips

In addition to its advanced photography features, the smartphone's camera system offers Ultra Lighting Video technology, designed to transform telephoto night videos into cinematic masterpieces. With its high dynamic range capabilities, each video frame is rich in texture and contrast, resulting in a superior visual quality that will impress even the most discerning viewers.

New camera user interface

A new intuitive user interface complements the smartphone's camera system, it now has a zoom bar and button layout that ensures a smooth and enjoyable shooting experience. With all essential controls easily accessible, users can focus on capturing images and videos even with one hand, without being distracted by cumbersome menus and settings.

The Huawe P60 Pro is not only a powerhouse in terms of its camera capabilities but also boasts impressive durability, with an IP68 rating for splash, water, and dust resistance. This ensures that the device can withstand the rigors of daily use and perform optimally in various environments.

Under the hood, the device is powered by the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 4G Mobile Platform, which features the 7th Gen Qualcomm AI Engine. This ensures lightning-fast performance and top-notch AI capabilities, allowing users to enjoy a seamless photography experience and many other cutting-edge features.

The groundbreaking camera system and innovative XMAGE technology P60 Pro offers have revolutionized the mobile photography landscape. With its unparalleled low-light capabilities, creative freedom, and intuitive user interface, this device has set a new standard for smartphone cameras. Whether you're a professional photographer seeking a powerful tool to complement your DSLR or a casual user looking to capture precious moments easily, this smartphone is a perfect choice.
