Huawei P40Pro vs OnePlus 8Pro camera comparison: the gap is still huge

The recently released OnePlus 8Pro has gained a good reputation overseas, and foreign media have given it very high praise. Not long ago, Huawei P40Pro was also officially released, and ranked first in the Dxo lens rankings. Both phones are equipped with four lenses, and the main lens sensor is from the supplier Sony's custom IMX CMOS. So how big is the difference in photography? Today, we will compare the following groups of photos to feel the difference between daytime and nighttime shots.

First, let's take a look at the close-up comparison. In a bright light environment, the difference in light processing can be seen. The flowers photographed by Huawei P40Pro are more vivid and lifelike, with the red part around the petals very bright, and the center of the flower white and natural. On the other hand, the flowers photographed by OnePlus 8Pro are still a little worse in terms of color. Although the clarity is good, the color presentation of the edges of the petals is not ideal.

When the lens is zoomed out, take a look at this set of shooting comparisons. Huawei P40Pro controls the light very well, retains rich details in the exposed part, and the color does not appear yellow or distorted. It can be seen from the grass on the ground that the colors are very realistic and bright. OnePlus 8Pro makes the grass and the ground look slightly yellow, and some leaves illuminated by the light have reflections.

From this set of comparison photos, we can see that the scene shot by Huawei P40Pro is very ideal. The exposure control of the leaves in the scene is very good. The light shines on them without overexposure, and the highlights retain rich details. On the other hand, the photos taken by OnePlus 8Pro appear whitish when the light shines on them, and too many details are lost in the highlights, as if a layer of dust is spread on them.

When shooting distant scenes, Huawei P40Pro takes advantage of the large aperture of the main lens to capture a very blue sky, and the leaves are also bright green. Some dark details are also very clear. The sky captured by OnePlus 8Pro is gray, the leaves are dark, and the exposure is not enough, so the brightness of the whole scene is not enough, which will lose so many details.

The problems exposed in this set of photos are the same as those in the previous set. The scene shot by the OnePlus 8Pro appears very dark, the leaves are not bright enough, the scene is not exposed enough, and many details are lost. In comparison, the leaves shot by the Huawei P40Pro are not only clear, but also very bright, the details of the whole picture are very rich, and the picture is also very realistic.

Similarly, the difference can be seen in night photography. The biggest advantage of Huawei P40Pro is that the aperture sensor is large enough, plus there is a night scene mode, so the buildings and roads in the scene are very bright. On the other hand, the scene of OnePlus 8Pro appears very dark, there are a lot of noises, and the picture is not clean enough. Such a difference is visible to the naked eye.

Summary: From the comparison between the OnePlus 8Pro and Huawei P40Pro, the biggest difference is the scene exposure. The OnePlus 8Pro has poor exposure control, resulting in a loss of details in the picture. Whether it is night or day shooting, the picture is too dark. The Huawei P40Pro is still powerful enough, the whole picture is bright and detailed, and the gap is still large.
