Huawei P10: fingerprint scanner should be on the front slides

Front or back of the page? The HUAWEI P10 could be the fingerprint scanner for the first time to the front wheel slip. So far the Chinese manufacturer placed the scanner for all his flag ships on the back.

This Huawei P9 is just in the market, since diving first again rumours to the supposed successor to the Huawei P10. These concern the fingerprint scanner for Huawei smartphones traditionally on the rear side of the device to be found. But according to a Tip Sensor, according TechBuffalo to the Internet platform Weibo to speak this could be at the latest with the Huawei P10 are a thing of the past. Because the next flagship is the fingerprint sensor on the front of the smartphone hiking.
The Apple and Samsung are role models?

That would be the chinese more than before to manufacturers like 
Apple and Samsungorient the fingerprint sensor, also on the front page of your smartphone to place. HTC And Lenovo had also published last devices in which the scanner is below the screen on the front. A third variant selects Sony. In the case of the current flagships of the Japanese is the fingerprint sensor on the side of the housing.

The fingerprint scanner on the front side of especially an advantage, if your smartphone with the display facing up flat on the table. You can then unlock the device, without which it is repealed and taken in hand. If Huawei this step but at P10 really is at the present time however is anything but clear. Until the release of the smartphone are estimated to be at least ten months.

LG G5 Huawei P9 in the test: That bring dual cams?

With the LG G5 and the Huawei P9 notify currently two smartphones with Dual Camera new on the market. But something similar like the devices at first appear, so different are in truth the concepts of the manufacturer with respect to the dual camera.

Dual Camera concept 1: The LG G5
LG equips its G5 reverse with a dual camera that consists of two different lenses and sensors. Besides the "main camera" with 16 megapixels and a 78 degree viewing angle, there is also a wide-angle camera, which dissolves with 8 megapixels, but covers a field of view of 135 degrees.

In principle, the users within the camera app anytime switch between two lenses back and forth and so take the appearance that appears to match the subject most appropriate. The change works just about typing on two symbols within the app. A Christmas tree stands for the normal lens, three trees highlight the wide-angle optics.

In general, the 78 ° scope is more suitable for pictures at close range, while let the wide-angle lens to capture objects at greater distances. This circumstance makes the camera app, among other things when zooming advantage. Zooms the user very far from a motive, then the app will automatically switch from the main camera to the wide angle lens. When zooming in the exact opposite happens.

LG uses its dual cam but also to make some very special photos. The Pop Out photos use both lenses, the image of the main camera is placed over the image of the wide angle camera. The latter is characterized as a kind of framework for the actual main subject. Similar images can be even by post on Create PC, however, turned on the LG G5 directly from the state.

Dual Camera concept 2: The Huawei P9
Even the Huawei P9 has a dual camera whose lens in this case originate even from the German specialist Leica. However, the manufacturer chooses a completely different approach than LG. Instead of two lenses with different angles and resolutions to block, both of which have the P9 the exact same point of view and also the same resolution of 12 megapixels. The difference here is that Huawei in addition to normal Cam nor built a monochrome camera, which is designed exclusively for shooting in black and white.

Compared to black and white color filters, which can be put on almost any smartphone on the shots that monochrome camera can capture much more light differences and thus more details in black and white shots. To disclose to the finished photos and fine gradations in very bright and very dark areas, which would easily swallow a later DOMICILED Black & White filters.

Besides the number of lenses Huawei doubled P9, the number of sensors. Thus, the P9 at any time the light information from two sensors has in pictures, thereby winning images even in low light conditions to details. In addition, by almost twice as much image information as available as in images that are snapped with normal smartphone cameras.

In particular, the additional depth information obtained by the second sensor, to let some very impressive games. So the focus of images can, for example, change in the final image even after the actual shooting still - even dramatically. This is only possible because it required image information due to the second sensor are already available. The disadvantage is that stored images therefore requires more space on the internal memory than other smartphones.

Conclusion: two concepts, two winners
LG and Huawei put two completely different priorities in their dual-camera smartphones. Nevertheless, both can equally popular. The LG G5 particularly impressed with its unusually large zoom range, which is achieved by the flowing exchange between the two lenses. When Huawei P9, it is primarily the second camera sensor that can score. It ensures that for an image ready so many depth information that the focus can massively change even in hindsight. Add to this the possibility of black and white photos to shoot in a quality as with any smartphone camera was not yet possible.

Huawei P9: Dual Camera not of Leica?

Has the dual camera of Huawei P9 P9 and Plus about not from Leica developed? Exactly maintains an Asian website. The German specialist camera merely selling licenses - contributed and an algorithm - to the actual camera manufacturers for the technology and Huawei for the use of the name Leica.

The camera is one of the main selling points of Huawei P9 P9 and Plus. Proudly emphasizes the Chinese manufacturer that the dual-camera was developed in cooperation with Leica. The German company is finally known for its high-quality optics. But actually could Leica have been involved to

Originates the camera of Huawei P9 really Leica?

a much lesser extent on the development of the P9-camera, as previously thought. The reported Phandroid citing the Asian website MyDrivers.

Has Leica sold licenses to Huawei?
While the Chinese smartphone manufacturer makes no secret that the camera lens of Huawei P9 P9 and Plus were not manufactured by Leica, the term could be "co-developed by Leica" yet to be designed a little far. The upcoming Asian rumored Leica has issued only one type license or certification for camera technology and the use of the company name. the appearance was made however of Sunny Optical, the world's largest smartphone camera suppliers.

Typical Leica look for images
As Phandroid still suspected, Leica could also have contributed an algorithm for image profiles which gives the photos the special Leica touch. That the Huawei P9 also reproduces the typical Leica-shooting sound, is another nice gimmick. With the technical development of optics that has little to do. Nevertheless, there still is a quality smartphone camera, which also compared to the current LG G5 left a good impression in our first test.
