In addition to the 50MP main camera, the standard P40 packs a 16MP ultra-wide camera, and an 8MP 3x telephoto snapper. Meanwhile, the P40 Pro ups the ante with a 3D ToF camera, theMate 30 Pro‘s 40MP ultra-wide shooter, and a 12MP 5X periscope sensor with an RYYB filter for better low light capabilities.
The P40 Pro Plus goes even further by delivering an 8MP 3x telephoto camera, an 8MP 10x periscope shooter (RYYB filter), a 40MP ultra-wide camera, and a 3D ToF sensor. Yep, much like theXiaomi Mi Note 10andMi 10 Pro 5G, you’ve got a short-range zoom cameraanda long-range sensor.
HUAWEI also brings a 90Hz refresh rate to the P40 Pro and P40 Pro Plus screens, giving you a smoother experience. Unfortunately, the standard P40 misses out on thehigh refresh rate fun.
