Huawei P20 Pro

Had the chance yesterday to test the camera of the P20 Pro at our local store. Usually the smartphone desks are full occupied by kids without money. Unfortunately i couldn't check the photos and videos at a larger PC monitor, but only at the full functional smartphone. So i will share with you my few insights:

First of all, the (great) "slow motion" feature don't work at 1080p :(
32x only with SD resolution (or something like this) and only 1 second or so.
8x one step larger, 16x is not available.
So for the slow motion function this smartphone is a waste of money.

More about this:
All videos (slowmo and regular) seem to be unsharp.
At our local store / mal the condition for testing low light and sharpness is really well because the smartphone desk is near the inner entry. That means at one side i can zoom in the whole large store well lightened with all it's details, at the other side i can shoot from the light inside to the dimmed outside passage.
I couldn't detect noise in the shots, but even at the small smartphone display i missed sharpness, ..... and more about this, stabilisation is = 0.

The camera has the possibility for manual settings, but anyhow the integrated AI isn't the hit.
