Huawei was caught using high-tech camera images as a sample of the P40

As has happened in early 2019, Huawei was also caught using images taken by professional cameras, as samples of photos were taken-supposedly- with their latest smartphones. This time it was in China, and as they confirmed from the portal South China Morning Post, the controversy led Huawei to say apologize by using at least one image that was made using craftsmanship as if it were taken by one of the young people.

It was on a website of Chinese origin Weibo when, a few days ago, Huawei announced a a photo contest identified different images that were allegedly captured using the product's phones. The fact is that at least one of the photos was taken using a Nikon D850 DSLR camera, the approximate value of 3,000 euros.

Huawei's photography competition turns to him

The person in charge of receiving the fraud was a Web user Jamie-huame You mentioned that you had seen this picture before. It didn't take long to point that same image at 500px for a photo shoot. Even the EXIF image data is matched to the image used by Huawei in its video. The image in question is visible below these lines.

After the acquisition, Huawei posted an apology on Weibo where he confirmed that the photos were "wrongly selected due to the editor's negligence". Later, the original video was removed and replaced. In addition Huawei made that clear in the competition you may be participating using images taken with any type of equipment. In the end, the brand did not hesitate to thank the user who received the original image for informing the company of the action.

This is not the first – or second – time that Huawei has been hunted down for doing the same things by developing the photographic capabilities of its machines. Last year, several Reddit users discovered that Huawei has used ad-hoc camera pictures to advertise the capabilities of the front camera

is one of the models in the Huawei Nova series, to which Huawei later replied that the images were "only for reference purposes." Years ago, the company had done the same strategy, using a photo taken using a $ 4,500 worth of equipment as a photo taken by one of the Huawei P9 series models.

But, unfortunately, there is much more behind. In 2019, Huawei P30 Pro's "periscope" camera was developed using images from a professional photographer. In all cases, the company has corrected and apologized for its actions. Still, it is surprising that one of the leading companies in the field of mobile photography, which in recent years has shown that it has one of the most technologically advanced areas of the camera, continues to evolve into this kind of trick. instead of using what their devices' cameras really know.
