Huawei uses digital SLR photos to promote the P30 Pro's camera

Chinese phone manufacturer Huawei apparently did not learn his lesson because he was again caught using DSLR photos to promote his smartphones.

This error also comes from the top because it is Richard Yu, CEO of Huawei's mainstream business, who is the culprit. Last week, he shared a series of image samples for the upcoming Huawei P30 Pro on Weibo, all of which highlighted the smartphone's photo capabilities and its powerful "periscope zoom" camera.

It turned out that these images had been taken with a digital SLR camera, rather than rumored that the smartphone would have been configured.

To make matters worse, as seen by a restless eye GSMArena reader, some of the images are not even those of Huawei: they come from the portfolio of a professional photographer.

A photo of a child, for example, is identical to a photo taken from a photographer's portfolio posted in 2009, while an image of an erupting volcano (above) is an example of a dummy image featuring an erupting volcano, a stock image of Getty Images.

This is not the first time that Huawei has been caught doing it. Last August, the company had attempted to transmit DSLR snapshots in the form of images taken with its newest medium-range camera, the Nova 3. In July 2016, she also promoted the Leica-certified camera on the Huawei P9 with the help of images shown on a Canon EOS. 5D Mark III, a high-end digital SLR camera that will cost you around £ 2,000.

In a statement given to INQHuawei said: "We were informed that there may have been a misunderstanding regarding our recent teaser posters of the Huawei P30 series.

"We would like to reiterate that these are actually only incentive posters and only serve to hint at the unique new features that will come with the Huawei P30 series.Huawei has licensed the original images and the posters are artistic interpretations only those features.

"We would like to take this opportunity to thank the media for their interest in our posters and we have a lot to announce in the coming weeks." μ
