Big technologies in a small package. What can we find in smartphones?

Today’s smartphones are treasuries of interesting technological solutions that allow you to do something that a few years ago was considered impossible. A great example of this is the Huawei P60 Pro.

Taking a smartphone in hand, very often we do not even realize that what we have in our hands is a small miracle of precision engineering. Yes – every day we look at what smartphone takes pictures, how long it lasts on the battery, or how efficient it is, but we do not wonder what technologies are behind the fact that all this is possible at all. Well, after all, manufacturers try very hard to ensure that everything that is added to the phone contributes to improving our experience, so the average user does not even have to think about what “under the hood”.

Meanwhile, for geeks, there is nothing more interesting than watching how specific technologies affect the operation of the device and how they push the boundaries of what is possible further and further.

A great example of this is the Huawei P60 Pro, which definitely holds some secrets

The latest smartphone of the Chinese brand is definitely one of the most interesting currently available on the market in terms of its capabilities. First of all, the variable aperture of the camera makes an impression. This is not the first device with such technology, but cramming a complicated mechanism into such a slim housing must certainly impress. Thanks to the amazing work of engineers, users of this smartphone have a choice about how they want their photo to look. Thanks to the ability to set a very bright f / 1.4 aperture, they can take a photo with a beautiful, natural (and not digitally added) background blur effect, i.e. bokeh. In turn, if they want the background to remain sharp, they can reduce the shutter clearance to f/4.0.

Another point worth paying attention to is, of course, the unique finish of the smartphone. We already had a phone made of glass, metal or with ceramic backs in our hands, but in the pearl variant, Huawei definitely showed that it can also introduce innovations in this topic. All because when other manufacturers create identical designs for each piece of a given model, the company decided to go in the opposite direction and make each piece unique. Thanks to this, when it comes to pearl finish, there are no two identical P60 Pro models on the market, which definitely adds charm and uniqueness to each piece.

In technical terms, it is also worth mentioning what is hidden under the lens of the camera with periscope zoom. Why? First of all, because its stabilization system is also unique on the market. We do not have classic optical stabilization here, but a much more advanced one, called “sensor shift”. As part of this stabilization, the photosensitive matrix itself is moved. This technology is much more difficult to implement, but also – giving better results in the form of less blurred and clearer photos, which is crucial, for example, at the time of longer exposure of night photography.

Finally, one cannot fail to mention the path that AppGallery, i.e. the manufacturer’s repository, has undergone. Due to the popularity of the brand, more and more companies are starting to see that they simply have to be in this store if they want to reach potential consumers. Therefore, for some time now in the AppGallery we have banking applications, popular messengers or programs from companies such as Microsoft. Huawei’s own services have also developed significantly, with Petal maps at the forefront. However, if something is not in AppGallery, the integrated search engine will allow us to easily install it from alternative repositories.
