Honor 30 Pro + takes second place in the DxOMark ranking behind the P40 Pro

At the end of March, when the Huawei P40 Pro was launched, DxOMark tested it and I consider it the new king of photography. The company that specializes in analyzing the quality of camera and smartphone photography placed it in front of the iPhone 11, the Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro and the Oppo Find X2 Pro. Although the Huawei model continues to lead the rankings, there is a new number 2: nothing more than your brother Honor 30 Pro +.


Whereas Honor belongs to Huawei, a lot of shared technology and sometimes new components and technologies are first tested on Honor products. The Honor 30 Pro + has several components of the P40 Pro, including the 50 MP sensor, although without the optical image stabilizer. Its 125 mm periscopic lens has 8 MP, instead of the 12 MP equivalent of the P40 Pro. However, the specialist highlights the 16 MP ultra wide angle sensor very different from the Huawei model. The model is also equipped with the Kirin processor 990.

Instead of having a Time-of-flight camera, used to measure the depth of images, as well as a color sensor, the Honor 30 Pro + uses algorithms in its processing. DxOMark also says that artificial intelligence merges multiple frames in RAW to create images in better detail, decrease noise and increase its dynamic range. This system applies to the three cameras, as well as the bokeh mode and the use of zooming.

The Honor 30 Pro + features a triple camera system, with its 50 MP main lens, a 16 MP ultra wide angle and an 8 MP telephoto. According to the benchmark specialist, the new smartphone can record 4K video, with resolutions from 2160p to 60 FPS. The test was carried out with a European version, but with a firmware that is not yet public, will only be available in the next month of May.

On balance, DxOMark assigned 136 photography points, highlighting the zoom and autofocus; and 104 points to the video, with autofocus and stabilization the best aspects. In total, it reached 125 points, being considered the second best in its ranking of cameras for smartphones.
