Huawei shares P20 triple-cam teaser videos
(Digital Photography Review)

We are getting close to the launch of Huawei`s upcoming flagship P20 smartphone on the 27th of March, and thanks to a number of leaks we`re already fairly certain that the new device will come with triple cam setup, offering a total resolution of 40MP and a 5x optical/digital hybrid zoom. Now Huawai itself has started teasing the new model with a couple of videos on its YouTube channel. The first one, called `See Brighter` (above), teases the smartphone`s low-light capabilities. It features a `pro` photographers with a DSLR and huge assortment of lighting gear next to a P20 user who is happily snapping away in the same lighting conditions without any additional equipment. The second video (below) is titled `See Closer`, hinting at the P20`s zoom capabilities. It follows the same scheme as the first clip, showing a DSLR-photographer shooting with a selection of heavy prime and zoom lenses, next to a smartphone user with triple-cam-equipped Huawei P20. If the teasers are anything to go by, the P20 could combine a `regular` RGB image sensor with a high-resolution monochrome chip for improved low-light performance and digital zooming, and another RGB sensor with a longer lens for optical zooming. And if Huawei`s engineers can manage to merge image data captured by all three sensors in an efficient way, the P20 could be the mobile camera to beat in 2018.
