Huawei Consumer Business Group India, today announced that the recently launched flagship – the Huawei P30 Pro receives second software update to further enrich consumer experience. Touted as a smartphone designed to re-write the rules of smartphone photography, the new updates on P30 Pro will enable users to capture videos in dual mode. Additionally, with the new AR measure update, users can use the phone as a veritable measuring tool.
HUAWEI P30 Pro brings in a refreshing way to shoot and view videos. The HUAWEI Dual-View Video feature uses multiple cameras at once to capture videos, enabling the user to shoot a video from different angles, at once. While one camera shoots a wide angle, the other camera captures a close-up. Therefore, now it’s possible to see two new perspectives on one single screen. In this mode, the camera located closer to the lower portion of the device captures it all with a wide field of view, while the camera installed more closely on top part of the device, capture a close-up. The user may freely adjust the level of magnification as well. This mode of shooting is particularly useful while capturing large-scale events such as sporting matches and concerts. Give the subject the attention of a zoomed-in shot without missing the big picture—all from the comfort of your “director’s” chair.
Similarly, the all new HUAWEI AR Measure update helps you to ‘size up the world with your smartphone!’. The new update combine the P30 Pro’s TOF Camera with leading AR technologies. Thus, the Huawei Measure AR is a handy app that transforms the device into a measurement tool – the most powerful measurement tool available in a smartphone. It can not only be used for measuring the length of lines and area of surfaces, but also volume of objects as well as a person’s height, thanks to its facial recognition capability. The margin of error is around one percent only. When multiple subjects are within the frame (like friends and family in a group setting), HUAWEI AR Measure can measure the heights of all subjects at one go.
