Huawei Mate 60 might have outdone iPhone 15 Pro in photo quality

The evolution of smartphone photography has taken a notable turn, especially in the realm of long-range capabilities. Leading manufacturers such as Samsung, Huawei, Apple, and Xiaomi have introduced advanced telephoto lenses to their flagship phones, paving the way for users to capture intricate details of the moon. Samsung and Huawei, in particular, have garnered significant attention for their prowess in this specialized segment.

Recently, during China's Mid-Autumn Festival, the sky was adorned with a mesmerizing “supermoon”. This phenomenon was particularly visible across various parts of China, from Northwest China to South China. The unique celestial event served as a golden opportunity for moon enthusiasts. Notably, the Huawei Mate 60 series emerged as a top choice for many who wished to immortalize this natural spectacle. The smartphone's adeptness in adjusting the moon's exposure without compromising on the clarity of the foreground was evident in the numerous photos shared. This success can largely be attributed to Huawei's advanced algorithm.

A blogger, “Pishumadia”, undertook a detailed moon photography comparison between the Huawei Mate 60 RS Ultimate and the iPhone 15 Pro Max. The Huawei device was reportedly superior in terms of detail and clarity based on the images presented.

In an innovative stride, Huawei secured a patent last year for a technique explicitly tailored for moon photography. This method autonomously recognizes the moon, adjusting the focus to capture a clear outline and shooting multiple frames with varied exposure settings. Consequently, the resultant images showcase a prominently outlined moon against a luminous background. Huawei asserts that even amateur photographers can avail of this feature to produce breathtaking moon images using conventional shooting modes. However, it's worth noting that these assertions are primarily based on images and reviews shared by users and bloggers, which may be subject to personal biases.

The Huawei Mate 60 RS Ultimate Design, following its release in China, witnessed a robust market reception. The device boasts a 6.82-inch OLED LTPO 120Hz screen, a myriad of top-tier cameras, and operates on the Kirin 9000s chipset with Harmony OS 4.0. With two available variants, the starting price is marked at 11,999 yuan ($1,642). Additionally, the purchase includes perks such as a one-year Huawei card membership, along with exclusive protective cases. The excitement around its launch was palpable, reminiscent of the fervor observed during iPhone launches in China.
