I wish I could afford any of the Mate 50 range. I own an Huawei nova 9, it takes great photos the screen is really good the mono speaker is loud with a good depth of sound. Without installing any Google obtaining apps (G Space, G box, or (so Iv'e heard) lighthouse) I can access my Gmail, YouTube etc. and using Petal search I can obtain any app I may need. I am not a great fan of Google in the sense that I need it day to day. In fact I have no need of anything else as all I need can be found in thr Huawei app store. Petal maps is improving daily and in many respects already surpasses Google maps. Having said all that I would like a mate 50 it probably has face unlock and screen fingerprint unlock like my nova 9, but has better camera tech zooming shots.

    i read the feature of the pro version and i found that i do not need the feature on the pro version. so this is good for me at the price point.

                          Okay, this is the term to describe "fake" optical zoom on a smartphone:

                          "multi-cam zoom"
                          Meaning: a bunch of separate fixed lenses on a multi-cam phone with varying focal lengths working together to achieve zoom.

                          Multi-cam zoom, when marketed as "optical zoom," becomes a "marketing BS."

                          Source:
                          "Stop calling it optical zoom when the optics don’t zoom"
                          https://pocketnow.com/smartphone-optical-zoom/

                          (Read before you post. Search before you post. Your question is probably already answered since 1902.)

                            If you deny my comments, you also deny Wikipedia's explanation of zoom lenses.

                            Also, responding to the topic of fake optical zoom presented as true optical zoom is not worth your time as I added several users to my element blocker. I can't read what you said as they are all redacted, including avatars.

                              If it has fixed lenses, then it would be better to just say digital or hybrid zoom.

                                No. It enlightens the consumers about what exactly they are getting—fixed lenses and digital zoom. You just want to "muddy the waters" by presenting marketing terms as technical terms.

                                  We're talking about lenses.

                                  Fixed and zoom.

                                  Fixed lenses are fixed. Can't zoom optically.
                                  Zoom lenses (as seen on Xperia 1 IV's telephoto), can actually perform optical zoom.

                                  Marketing a phone with optical zoom even though it lacks this technology is misleading, scam, and good for profit.

                                  Telling the truth about how true optical zoom works to the public is actually hurting the sales of their products. Do you want to sell more of these? I understand.

                                    Xperia 1 IV and Galaxy S4 zoom are the only phones, to date, with true optical zooms.

                                    You're forcing the term optical zoom too much on devices with fixed lenses. Are you from Gsmarena or Huawei?

                                      So according to some, view from a separate sensor with longer focal length resulting in same field of view if main sensor was zoomed, is a "fake" optical zoom.
                                      To them, only true optical zoom occurs when focal length at of main sensor was changed.

                                      They're being too naive, stressing too much on semantics resulting into time wasting and nothing fruitful. They're showing total lack of understanding the context.
