The bread and butter of the device is its quad-camera system, which uses not just one, but two RYYB sensors. The first is a 50MP UltraVision Camera with OIS and the new Octa-Phase Detection system with Pixel Binning.

The second RYYB sensor has a resolution of 40MP and is primarily used for videos. The P40 Pro is able to record 4K videos with both the front and rear cameras and can pump its ISO all the way up to 51,200.

The SuperSensing Zoom allows for 50x Hybrid Zoom using all cameras, though much of the work will be done by the 12MP telephoto camera. As for the rest, you get a macro shooter and a depth sensor.

The 32MP front camera is housed in a punch-hole alongside a 3D depth sensor for secure face unlock.
