The Huawei P30 Pro is currently ranked as the best camera phone on the market by DxOMark scoring an impressive 112 points. The phone comes with a quad camera system made up of a 40MP primary sensor with an f/1.6 aperture, a 20MP ultra-wide sensor with an f/2.2 aperture and an 8MP zoom sensor (f/2.4 aperture) and an additional Time of Flight sensor (TOF) allowing for more depth. One of the best things about the phone’s cameras is the 5x zoom and a 50x digital zoom. On the front, there is a 32MP selfie shooter with AI beautifying features and smart lighting.

The Honor 20 Pro follows the P30 Pro quite closely and takes the third place in DxOMark camera rating. On the back, the phone features four cameras: a 48 MP main sensor with f/1.4 aperture, a 16MP ultrawide lens with f/2.2 aperture, an 8MP telephoto lens and a dedicated 2MP macro camera.

According to the company, the 7 Pro uses three different focusing systems:  phase-detect AF, contrast AF and laser focusing, which makes for a better performance in both good and poor light. For photos, the phone scores 118 points and falls behind the leading Huawei P30 Pro just when it comes to artifacts and zoom. On the front, there is a 16 MP pop-up cam.
