I just read a post that P30 and P30 Pro are receiving an update that has selfie night mode... does anyone knows if we're going to receive that kind update in the future too?
Here is a link of the post:
https://www.gsmarena.com/huawei_p30_and_p30_pro_receiving_selfie_night_mode_with_latest_emui_update-news-38637.php
It's possible in EMUI 10 or in a patch, but since some of the updates that p30 pro got so far and none of the previous flagships didn't get(aka improvement in camera app) i highly doubt that.
They didnt even add HDR to the selfie camera in the P20 pro. which was in the mate 20 series, and honor devices using the same sensor and sometimes devices with slower chipset. so i doubt they will add it to P20 pro.

I recently contacted support and here is their response:
Thank you for writing in. Actually, we are currently working to officially support the Huawei P20 Pro in the near future, but it is yet to be released because it is requiring major changes in the code. As it stands, it is not possible to implement manual white balance functionality and the device has no support for high bitrates.

So that's means P20 Pro wont get Filmic Pro because Huawei color OS?
Not sure but they're definitely working on it. Here's some more info:
"It's my understanding that the Huawei P20 Pro has enough correct implementation of the Camera 2 API for FiLMiC Pro to support the device as soon as we get the white balance and bitrate issues handled."
Have you tried using Open Camera on the P20 Pro yet?
I tried it ages ago but didn't like the UI, I've heard that it doesn't have the "post sharpening" which is good for some poeple
Filmic works fine on my P20 Pro.
Oh okay cool, They must've updated it

Can you confirm it records at 4k, as well as locking the white balance, and ISO?
Many thanks
Yeah you can. Also 720p at 240fps but not 960fps
Hey guys, I just ordered a Huawei P20 Pro and I was kind of worried about the lack of stabilization in 4K video recording. I was just wondering if Huawei has mentioned bringing stabilization in an update at some point in the future? I know OnePlus was able to do it with the OnePlus 5, so I really don't see why Huawei wouldn't be able to do it as well.

They made some improvement in camera section in few recent updates. Slow mo feature is at least as good as S9 now. It can auto detect object movement and start the slow mo. Pro mode has got some improvements as well. More variables are available now, like ISO 102K (previously only up to 3200, then updated to become 6400, and now at full capability)
I think we will eventually see the stabilisation in few more updates. Just cross the finger and hope that kirin 970 is capable enough.
They just released the GPU boost for Mate 10 btw, cant wait for it to arrive in P20. Or maybe, ported. :silly:
I love the P30 Pro, my only frustrating is the slightly processed look (over sharpening) to photos in Auto mode, avoided if shooting in Pro mode with RAW on (the jpeg produced is directly from the RAW file so no heavy processing at all) but would be great if auto mode results were more natural... I see this quote from a review of the Mate 30 Pro "Although the phone has the same main camera sensor as the P30 series, Huawei did changes to the processing. The biggest change visible is the removal of a degrading sharpening filter, allowing the phone to actually take advantage of the pixel-sharp clarity that the sensor is able to capture. In daylight as well as in most low-light scenes, this allows the Mate 30 Pro to showcase amongst the best spatial resolution and detail retention of any phone currently on the market" any way to delete the P30 pro camera apk and install the Mate 30 apk??

Shortly NO, you can't. In order to have the same functions as Mate 30 Pro, you would need root acces in order to install a mooded apk (P30 Pro has Kirin 980, Mate 30 Pro has Kirin 990 which is slightly different) + the camera libs & rest of the camera xml files.
Only hope for the P30 Pro users is that Huawei will update camera processing and other algorithms in order to match the ones from Mate 30 Pro in the next 2-3 firmwares releases, but i have doubts about it, because Mate 30 Pro IS atm their NEW FLAGSHIP and as it seems, in March they will release P40 Pro, so don't think they will work on more camera tweaks/improvements after that release, judging how they've done in P20 Pro case, which gets only security patches and EMUI 10 update, scheduled to be pushed to devices sometime in March

Glad i could be usefull and sry if it's not the answer you've expected, but on Huawei devices things are a lot more complicated than are on let's say Samsung, where you still can unlock bootloader, root device, flash customised deodexed firmwares, mod a ton of apps and so on...
On Huawei we have to use stock firmware with minor improvments using 3rd party apps, because the've stopped giving unlocking bootloader codes, so therefore no root/no devs to create custom firmwares or mood kernel/no help from OEM....

Hi guys, I was watching some astrophotography videos on youtube, and noticed that Pixel phones were taking absolutely stunning pics. I then did some searching and found multiple GCAM versions, but none worked on my P30 Pro. It seems like 7.3 is the version that supports Astrophotography mode, so just curious if anyone knows if there is a GCAM 7.3 version available for Huawei / P30 Pro devices?

No versions are available that fully work with the naff processor of our phones.
The P40 Pro has the Golden Snap feature which is pretty much best shot, a 4k video will be shot and the AI picks out the best frame as per other devices.
Huawei's version stands out as it can also remove reflections and passerbys.
Is it feasible that some clever people here can extract that from the P40 Pro and get a working version available for the P30 Pro and other Huawei devices?
I'm aware that the P40 Pro has some new focussing technique that probably is integral to all this happening and the answer is probably a no, but if you don't ask, you don't get
You'll be lucky. Apart from Energy Ring there's no development happening on the P30 Pro.
Great device.
Crap Huawei.
Huawei is not like Xaiomi. Must of the new features are limited only to latest phones. Even if your old device is capable of adding this
