Huawei P30 PRO. The new Huawei smartphone model is at the center of a first controversy today after it was stated that the people who buy it could be tricked by the Chinese with a rather unusual trick. More precisely, a new function was implemented for the Huawei P30 PRO that allows the recording of images with the moon, but it would seem that behind the function there is nothing more than a big trick, according to some.
Huawei P30 PRO. "Moon Mode" is the function we are talking about in this situation, the phone seems to be able to take close-up pictures of the moon using the zoom function of up to 50X to achieve this, but it would all be just a prank. The feature itself uses images recorded by the Huawei P30 PRO with 50X zoom, plus artificial intelligence to show users what appears to be a remotely taken picture of the moon.
Huawei P30 PRO. How Phone Customers are LIED to
Huawei P30 PRO. In reality, it seems that the phone doesn't really see the moon as we think, not even with 50X zoom, but the "Moon Mode" function is based on some predefined images that Huawei uses to create the pictures. We are not talking about displaying pictures that already exist in the phone, but parts of images with the moon, combined with artificial intelligence with what the Huawei P30 PRO sees when the picture is taken, and the final result is an artificial one.
According to tests performed by Wang Yue at Zhihu, the Huawei P30 Pro isn't just enhancing the image information the user captures but actually placing pre-existing imagery of the moon into the photo. Moon Mode does not appear to create fully original photographs.
Huawei P30 PRO. The pictures that users take, thinking they represent the moon, actually represent a complex process of combining some pre-existing elements of the moon pictures, plus some taken with the new camera. Basically, Huawei P30 PRO users are being lied to when they are told that they are taking pictures of the moon, because in reality the artificial intelligence shows them some 3D pictures composed of something that already exists in the phones.
Huawei P30 PRO. This should not be surprising because Huawei has a habit of lying to customers about various things, so we should not be surprised at all.
