4k display on huawei P30 pro - Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion

Hello, xda! Maybe anyone knows how to put a 4k resolution on the huawei P30 pro? Somewhere on the Internet saw that the display can show 4k, but software removed this possibility.

The device have FHD+ (2340X1080 Pixels) dispay. This is hardware specification of the device and CAN NOT be changed. So, no, you can't change the resolution to 4k.

How about 8k or 12k man? Better? Or not enough?

Lol i don't think anyone ever mentioned the phone has a 4k display.

It is just little boy has no idea that even 2k is pointless

Yes this can in fact be done, all you need to do is hold the phone in landscape position, then slide a Sony X1 in front of it and voila a 4k screen on your P30 pro

I heard they're adding the 4k display in the Android 10 update for the P30 Pro. So you'll get it then.
Also airplane mode has been updated to so you can actually fly now. Pretty cool.

Honor 9 video recording latency

Hello I've got this weird issue.
So during video recording on 1080p 60fps I see this weird latency, it's like captured video is a couple of miliseconds behind. It's the opposite of smooth. Just watch the video. I think it's part of the "optical stabilization option" because the same problem persists on 1080p 30fps with optical stabilization ON.
There's NO problem with opt. stab. OFF on 1080p 30fps and also there's no problem on 4k.
My girlfriend with her Moto G5 Plus doesn't have any issue at all on 1080p 60fps
Just watch the samples:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cMbYUKT4xZ8
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KWWwOgdZYEU
What do you think?
Thats normal, Software OIS.
So all devices got this problem? It's not like I have a faulty device? Can I get rid of it somehow?
My Honor 9 do that same glitchy thing
Yeah, the Honor 9 doesn't have OIS on it's camera set up. Instead it has Electronic Stabilization. Which isn't the best.
It should be improved with time (EIS)
I got Honor 9 tested. That is normal.

You can turn off stabilization. Then it will react normally, but it will be more shaky.

It's OFF by default on 1080p 60fps and still does that non-smooth thing.

I am sorry. I just tested my phone and it is doing the same thing during recording. Interestingly it seems that 4K has lowest lag.

Mate 20 Pro and 4K video: what the hell is that?

I mean, I do hope it’s just me...but I see something really weird in almost any 4K video recorded with Mate 20 Pro....or at least with the one where there’s a sort of rapid panning: it seems like there’s a “stripe” of video at the panning direction edge whenever there’s a rapid “panning” movement where the image is like deformed?!?!
I guess is something dealing with EIS or AI stabilisation, but I’m not sure. What I don’t understand is why no one talks about it. I mean, every review say the mate 20 Pro 4K video are finally stabilised but at what expense? I find those video to be terrible with the “deforming edge”....is it just me?!?!
Here you are an example of what I’m talking about
https://youtu.be/vKS1U56uj04
https://youtu.be/lGUiLgUv-CI (especially from minute 1.03 up to minute 3:00)
I do hope someone having the phone can eventually confirm what I saw.
Thanks in advance

Give it some time... Its still on pre release software, i am sure they are already aware of this,
It happens the same to me, Huawei told me that they are working on it, so you don't have to be worried about that, it's just like AI Vídeo modes ( they just doesn't appear in this pre release version), I'm afraid that we have to wait a couple of weeks more... I have to learn how to be patient! LOL

Look again. There are still stammers. Pay attention to the cars and see how the traffic is not smooth at all.
If they do not fix it, then shame on huawei and its flagship device.
Thats why im waiting before gettinng this device
It is likely because of stabilization.... try without stabilization...
When stabilizing video the camera only takes a smaller crop from the sensor and uses the information from the edges and gyro sensor data to calculate your movement then it can use that edge informatrion to smoothen out your video.
link to explanation
Due to the physical sensor being 4:3 format and the video being recorded in 16:9 there is still enough edge to work with top and bottom.
Left and right though the sensor has to be cropped, if they chose to crop only little than the stabilization algorithm does not have enough edge information to smooth out the movements and this jitter effect becomes visible.
That of course is only my explananation, i could be wrong

Mate 10 Pro Camera

Hello,
I recently got a new Mate 10 Pro. I tested the camera and I think that the photos looks ok, but the video quality is not as good. The videos in 4K look ok, but in 1080p/30fps and 1080p/60fps the videos looks bad, noisy.
I updated the phone to Android 9 and EMUI 9 before I shoot the photos and the videos, so I don't know the quality before the update.
Another problem is that I cannot find the video stabilization ON/OFF setting. At one moment I found it, but I don't know if it was before or after the Android 9 update.
I also saw that sometimes the autofocus is not properly working when shooting videos.
My software version is 9.0.0.161.
1. Are there any problems regarding the update or my phone is broken ?
2. Does anyone also have those problems ?
Hi, I don't think you have a hardware problem. I have this phone since 16th november of 2018, with Oreo 8.0.0.157 C432-L29, i didn't have those problems. In Android Pie i think the app doesn't have the same performance like Oreo's. The AI of this app is INCAPABLE of making things right now, for me. Shooting photos is better, but videos in 1080p looks a bit weird , especially in low light condition. Maybe this is the problem. Let's hope in the next updates, they will fix it and make it better.
Thanks for the reply.
Is there anyone more with the same problem ?

1st: video has been very bad on Huawei phones for a long time. It has not gotten better, even the mate 20 pro is far behind apple and Samsung.
2nd: stabilization only works for up to 1080p30. 1080p60 and 4K do not support stabilization thus you won’t find the setting when shooting it.
3rd: the phone has improved it’s photo quality and camera app in general over the past year I have had the phone since Jan 2018. It got updates every 2 months with new features almost every time. They added handheld night mode, face unlock, 960fps slomow, improved aperture depth detection, improved AI (looks a lot less oversaturated now) it also got gpu turbo and much much more. In the span of a year i Must say huawei impressed me.
4th: it took me some time to get to know the camera. Now my shots are much better (I use raw from pro mode) so it’s mostly about the photographer.

I can't find the video stabilization settings in 1080p30. This setting (stabilization on/off) does not appear in the camera menu.
Is the described problem in the first post a software or a hardware problem ? What should I do ?

It is software since it is electronic stabilization it is software only. I have just checked and I don’t have the option in my phone either but I think it’s on automatically since there is a big crop. This is because they use the outer edges of the image sensor to make up for the movement. You can google how EIS in videos work. You can see much more when using 1080p60 so there is no EIS but when you switch to 1080p30 there is a huge crop.
Edit: I have just tested it. Eis works on 1080p30. I was walking and shaking a lot and with 1080p60 there is a lot of shaking with 30 only very little.
Hardware stabilization is optical stabilization but it does not do much (it is always on btw it is a way how the lense is built) except for removing shaking when taking photos it is especially useful in dark conditions where the shutter speed is reduced to take more light in. It will almost do nothing in videos. You can find out if a phone has optical image stabilization if you gently hit you phone close to the camera with one hand while holding it with your other there should be a little noise like there coins inside the phone.. That is because the lenses move around in order to counter camera movement from shaky hands.

Lol sorry. Well it can’t be hardware if all is well when recording 4K or taking photos. So I guess it just doesn’t live up to your standards. In general many YouTube reviews criticize that 1080p looks more like 720p upscaled. Maybe that’s what you mean also.

Hi,Alfred!
May I know the Android version and camera software version on your Mate during that test?

Does Oppo Reno supper Google camer?

Anyone with that phone tried google camera app?
Or no support for Google camera with oppo again with this phone?
Is still early days and I'm not sure whether the camera does raw and what level access oppo allows either
I've been checking daily but it seems there's no development for it yet. However, given that it's the same sensor as in the oneplus 7 pro, and if the phone has the same level of permissions, then you could assume gcam will work for the main rear sensor which for me is the important one.
Gam works like a charm except zoom and slow motion.

Yes it does but ATM stock camera is superior in everything.
Though I clicked some pics last night with normal and ultra wide night mode and normally the pics looks good.
However when I zoom the pics it looks like water colour effect is there.
Will click more tonight and update here.
Would it be possible to have comparison samples at night.

Hi thanks for the info.
My biggest drive to use the gcam is for people. My huawei mate 10 beauties so much, even with ai turned off. Prior to huawei blocking gcam, it took great pictures.
Most cameras, especially Samsung, beautify by default which is why I'm really keen on gcam but on a great phone like the 10x zoom. My huawei smooths my kids face so much he looks like a cgi cartoon
The camera isn't that bad, better said it is quit good IMO, and it is way better than the camera on my OnePlus 5T.
Once the Gcam will be better, we can easily switch.

Don't u worry about that...u can disable the smoothening option in oppo and it will take the exact picture how you look like.

screen resolution

Hello,
Today I went to a xiaomi shop in France and the paper near the mi a3 says 1080p screen !!!
So I asked a seller why on internet it's 720p.
He said the screen is 1080p but android display only 720p (because on other models a bug happens with android auto and 1080p. Maybe with an update it will become 1080p)
This is very weird. The screen doesn't look like a 1080p
Do you think this is true ?
And why it's written 1080 !?
(Sorry for my bad English ^^)
they probably messed up the product info paper. the explanation they gave you is ridiculous.
mi a3 = mi cc9e with android one.
Okay thank you for your answer.
I'm thinking maybe originally the mi a3 was supposed to be 1080 and they change it very late in the device creation. so they still have paper with 1080p screen ?
(Btw I bought one hoping the community will be big. My 2013 nexus 5 is pretty old ?)
i was hoping we get a rebranded mi cc9 (non e) too. not getting an a3 as it stands.
Actually the 720p screen is not that bad (okay we can see the pixels) the battery life is suppose to be better and games are running better

if you can see the pixels that's bad. the excuse for better battery is just wrong. the 4k battery would easily survive a full day on a 1080p display too. and if they had used the cc9 that has a better graphics for games. no, this is just a bad move from xiaomi, no point to sugar coat it. they should have used the cc9 even if it brought the price over 300-350 or at least upgraded the screen. it still would have been a very good value device. as it is... it's a missed opportunity!

I have a Xiaomi Mi A3, the information you can see the screen pixels are wrong, it is not possible to see the screen pixels since unlike the IPS screen, in AMOLED screen this is not possible. You will not notice so much the difference between an AMOLED screen and an IPS screen. The only difference I noticed is that on Full HD the screen is sharper, but the difference is not that big. If you want to buy, you need not worry about it.

you shouldn't be "OK" with it. in 2019 you should be able to pick the features/things that you want on a phone instead of having to live with bad decisions from xiaomi. we are not sheep having to buy any turd they put out. there are many more manufcturers and many more phone models. if you have any second thoughts about the phone, return it, get your money back and pick something else. it's a free economy, you dont like something, pick something else. the market will bend xiaomi and not the other way around.

There are actually more than a few Xiaomi phones that are cheaper or almost as cheap as the Mi A3. I'm not sure where you got your SAR specs for the Mi A3, but I suppose this can be fixed by using earphones, preferably not Bluetooth (since they have their own radiation issues). Myself I normally don't use my phone as a phone but as an ultraportable tablet, so I'm not too concerned about SAR.
I got the sar here : https://www.devicespecifications.com/en/model-sar/51c75175
And also in the store (you can also see the 1080p resolution here) :

He is saying the truth cuz as all of you know the iPhone 8 currently my social phone is 720p resolution but when I open youtube for most Android phone with 720 p screen they limit at 720p but my iPhone can max out at 1080p the other one is my brother's Xperia 1 all of you must know that it has 4k display but it is not 4k Everytime.when you game on the Xperia it will compress to 720p also when you are multitasking it switch to 1080p the only time when 4k is applied when you web surfing like YouTube or Instagram and when opening the gallery and camera
It's 720p screen and it's ****, no honest person gonna deny that,, that's just not acceptable in 2019.
Xiaomi is a bad company they are putting an end to the mi A line up in favor to their ****ty miui os,,
I got Mi A2 Lite (FHD) and Mi A3 (HD) - i personally cannot see much difference in everyday normal using. There are options for interface and font size, i was allways using custom ones, so the screen is not a problem for me. Mi biggest problem is navigation buttons missing, but thats different topic.

If this is true, big mistake from xiaomi that doesn't announced the entire A3 line at once. Why announces one in July and one in August? This will really frustrated a lot of A3 owners, including me.

I used to think like you, including the bits about how xiaomi is probably trying to make us buy its MIUI products. However, I've since gotten an A3. And I can tell you, the problem is not nearly as bad as everyone made it out to be. It does save battery life, and pixelation is not nearly as noticeable as I thought. I have to look pretty hard to see the difference that the complaint seems moot. Yet OLED is obviously brighter and more vibrant than IPS LCD, and also necessary for the in screen fingerprint sensor. To have all these specifications (OLED, imx586, 4000mah, SD665, sd card, headphone jack, gorilla glass back, etc) at this price point itself is a sincere effort.
You have to check it out yourself before you make your final judgment. I personally am an unlikely convert and I'm loving it. Although I still wouldn't mind having a CC9 a3 pro, I honestly think xiaomi did a really good job with A3, and it's probably a more thoughtfully balanced package if not the best spec'ed in the latest xiaomi lineup, in my opinion.
