Can't wait until I can post a few I've taken myself, but I need some more posts.

I do want to comment on the zoom aspect of the phone though. Many say it is a gimmick and you will use it a few times and get tired of it.
I personally am very pleased with the functionality and can recommend it. I have actually relied on the function multiple times now. For example, in my day-to-day work, I am dealing with energy meters and electrical stuff. Just a little while ago, I had to identify some energy meters that were like 5 meters in the air. With the naked eye, I could only see that they are there, but nothing more specific. However, I needed their identification codes. It was very convenient to use my P30 Pro for this - I rested the phone on a surface for stabilization and took the photos of these meters and could read the codes I needed. I can confidently say that I could have not done this with my OG Pixel's digital zoom.

Let's see if it works. If someone could quote me and replace as appropriate, I would appreciate.

I came to this phone from the Mate 20 Pro. The camera on that was awsome. Pictures were so natural looking. On the P30 Pro, they seem to have meddled with the software that somehow makes them look artificial... and doctored...

I assume that the Mate 20 Pro Camera has been tweked for longer... and I'm hoping Huawei will address this in upcoming Firmware Updates.

I agree that compared to the Pixel, this phone is harder to shoot with and to get the photo right. Pixel's AI worked better. However, for anyone doubting, I am really-really happy to have made the switch, because the camera is a lot more versatile, the battery is absolutely stellar (as is the charging speed) and the screen is bigger and better.

Does anyone knows the selfie effect on iPhone xs? On selfies it has a great Boken effect. Is it possible to do it on p30 pro?

Had this phone since the release date. Here's the last few months in photos from the P30 Pro!

Huawei branding

Agree, but I wonder why all of your pics are unbranded. I just go a new P30 pro only to find out that wide angle pics are branded with an ugly Huuawei Logo. What a disgrace! Can I fix this in settings anywhere?
