Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Huawei P30 Pro – A Day in the Life.”.
7:15 a.m. welcome to a different kind of video. This is a day in the life with the Huawei P 30 Pro, and it’s no ordinary day. So today, I’m heading to London to meet up with Joe who is the first member of the Misti who’s, the boss team, so all those crazy, animations and graphics you’ve seen in recent videos that is stuff that we’ve been working together on, let’s get to it just Before we head out, you probably know this phone has an optical in display fingerprint scanner. It’S actually something I found myself not using. I tend to just stick to the face, unlocking alright. We need to go so we’re all here, waiting for the train to London and at my local station it was a pretty cool chance to try out for K, video and one of the things I found I could do was zoom in five times and read signs Across the other side of the platform, I tried walking whilst taking footage from the phone at 4k resolution and it’s actually more stable if you use 1080p, that’s what I use for this shot here. The journey to London is run about two hours, so I spent half of this watching videos on the phone and scrolling through Twitter and the other half getting strange looks from everyone else, whilst trying to record myself doing it. Oh yeah and I also tried recording 4k video. Whilst we were passing at various points, London, st.
Pancras station, pretty much at the heart of the city and when I walked out, I bumped into a subscriber so call opportunity just to take a photo now. St. Pancras is gigantic and has also got this iconic clock that you’re, seeing in the background there, and so combining those two makes it a perfect testing ground for the furnace zoom.
So I took it out my pocket tried 1 times 5 times and then 10 times zoom, and this is the shot I got at 10 times magnification. So then, I met up with Joe who is here to help with some of the camera work today and we tried the front-facing portrait mode selfie. Let me know what you think.
The main objective of today was to get as higher because we could so we were gon na head to the shot, which is well the tallest building in the entire country. So to do that we pulled up Maps and we just sort of navigated by walking along the streets and the phone does have a dual GPS system. So we don’t have any problems navigating or seeing the display in broad daylight one cool thing.
I did notice on the way when I was trying to take a photo of this really tall building was that the AI mode of the camera automatically knows you’re, cutting off the building and tells you to use the ultra light instead turned out pretty cool. So we then arrived at the shot and it’s bigger than I thought it was gon na be. This is a 95 floor skyscraper. So the journey to the top involved a lot of stairs a couple of lifts corridors and then more stairs, but it was worth it towards the top. There were a lot of cool opportunities to use the ultra wide lens, so this one overlooking the bar below, as well as pretty much the entire city as a backdrop, but then we managed to get right to the top, and I had a very specific objective here. I wanted to pick a couple of landmarks and then start with the ultra white and slowly zoom in more and more so to start with, let’s take a look at Saint Paul’s Cathedral, this tiny building here from the ultra wide lens on one x, it’s a little Clearer five times quite a lot closer, but then 10 times completely blew me away.
The second one is something they call the walkie talkie building and you can probably tell as we’re changing camera lenses the color temperature at the photo changes too, but that doesn’t change the fact that the zoom is so powerful that you can’t tell I’m on a different Building hundreds and hundreds of meters away, we also thought we’re up here. We might as well take a portrait mode photo and we’re gon na save this. We’Re gon na come back to it and edit it on the way home, all right back down to the ground floor and a couple more things I still wanted to do. There is no earpiece on this phone.
Instead, you’ve actually got a speaker sitting behind the display. In the top quadrant, and essentially when you press that, against your ear, you can hear the person clearly it doesn’t sound entirely different from the earpieces on other phones, but considering they’ve done that, whilst removing a piece is an achievement more than it is a compromise, it Was just generally a beautiful day, so I wanted to get a few more cinematic shots couple of time lapses, and I also wanted to just a couple of shots using the background blur mode. This is still one of the only phones in the world that can do background blur in video anyway, it’s time to head back, there’s still a fair bit more. I want to do today so we’re on the train just waiting for it to leave and we’ve got our coffee, we’re listening to music and I’m typing away. I’M scripting the next article to drop after this one. I also it uses as an opportunity to open up Lightroom to edit the photo we took earlier brought back some of the color added a bit of a vignette, and this is the photo I just dropped on Instagram when this video went live back home time. For a bit of DIY alright, so you might have seen this. This is one of the textures I use for overhead shots and today we’re gon na try and build another one. So I’ve got these two different textures here and a giant board. So, let’s see how it turns out so to clarify this is going to be by no means a pretty or finished looking product but at the same time very much. A piece of equipment they’ll be useful in video.
So, by equipping this board with two sides of texture, we can use it as a backdrop for content and initially I’ll admit it doesn’t look great. But if you stick a product in front and zoom all the way in I’d, say the background looks pretty indistinguishable from real wood. The hallway at p30 pro can also wirelessly project, its entire user interface onto most TV screens and there’s a reason we’re doing this.
You get this desktop experience, which you can control with the smartphone and we’re going to use it to open up a game called fancy skiing, which is a weird one, because it’s actually on the Huawei website and is meant to be one of the showcases of the Phone’S capability, the idea being that you place your phone down so that the cameras are facing you and then that these will track your movement and with the addition of the new time-of-flight camera you’ve got on this phone. The movement tracking was incredibly accurate. There was a delay because I was using wireless projection and as a game, this is definitely more of a proof-of-concept than something I would actually play, but the idea is cool. It’S nearing the end of the day. It’S getting dark and I just wanted to take a few photos using night mode on the camera. I’Ve pretty much already done an entire video covering this feature. So if you do want to know more about that feel free to check that out, I got this adorable shot of my cat, just curled up there watching the news, and it was pretty much time to call it a day. We got to 11 for 10 p.m.
and there was still 10 % left on the battery. That’S really impressive, considering the day we’ve had and that I spent a good part of it filming on this phone as well as all the other stuff we’ve been doing. If you enjoy the video it’ll be massively appreciated. If you could subscribe to the website, the hallway p30 Pro is going on sale in the UK on the 6th of April 2019 and I’m gon na drop a link in the description below my name is Aaron.
This is mr. who’s, the boss and I’ll catch you in the next one. You .
