Huawei Mate 40 Pro is the new king of mobile photography. It leads the DxOMark rankings

The company Huawei introduced its new flagship smartphone Huawei Mate 40 Pro only a few hours ago. The specs also include a 50 MPx main camera developed together with Leica. It is now becoming the leader in the popular DxO Mark portal rankings.

Huawei Mate 40 Pro: Leader in DxO Mark

Despite the fact that just a few days ago we were monitoring the situation regarding podium placements in the photography ranking of the DxO Mark portal. The flagship smartphone Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra was in first place, Huawei P40 Pro secured second place, and after a new analysis the flagship smartphone Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro ended up in third place.

However, the ranking is being rewritten again, and the new leader is precisely the current new release Huawei Mate 40 Pro. In detailed DxO Mark tests, this smartphone scored up to 136 points for the camera and then 104 points for the “selfie” camera.

One of the main advantages of these sensors is especially the wide dynamic range, fast and accurate autofocus for photos, but also for videos—plus a good depth-of-field estimate in “bokeh” mode, along with balanced video capture and more.

As for the downsides of this flagship smartphone’s photo setup, it mainly comes down to a narrower field of view, occasional color inaccuracies, and so-called “ghost” artifacts in videos, alternating sharpness in videos while walking, and more. Despite these negative features, the Chinese manufacturer Huawei is becoming the new leader in the DxO Mark photography ranking.
