Smartphones and social media: Innovations driven by the rise of social media

Over the years, social media platforms have seen an increase in frequent users. This can be mainly attributed to the ease of access, growth in technology, a chance for user expression and an overall comfortable user experience. This rise in social media usage has led to the requirement of smartphones that cater to every aspect of handling a social media presence, including photography, battery life and an overall smooth performance. Huawei, known for innovations and pushing the boundaries in its smartphones, has kept this in mind and has introduced new features in every phone launch that caters to every social media requirement. 

Social media users have grown radically in recent times and a majority of them depend on smartphones for easy access to social media platforms. Users spend a minimum of approximately 2 hours a day on their smartphones browsing social media platforms. With this growth playing an important role in today’s society, smartphone manufacturers have started to focus on developing technologies and innovative ideas that are said to improve user experience while using these platforms. 

Ease in creating stunning Photo and Video content

Today’s social media platforms are built on photo and video content, which has raised the requirement for well-developed camera hardware. Trends show an increase in stunning photos and videos, as social media users want to make their feed stand out from their friends Hence smartphone manufacturers started to focus more on their camera hardware as well as optimizing the software. 

Keeping this in mind, the Huawei P series has an unprecedented advantage due to it being a photography focused lineup. The latest in the series, the HUAWEI P30 Pro, comes with a Leica Quad Camera setup, the first of its kind. This unique setup consists of a 40MP main camera with the HUAWEI SuperSpectrum Sensor for better low light photos and videos, a 20MP Ultra-Wide angle lens for both horizontal and vertical shooting, an 8MP telephoto lens with a stunning SuperZoom feature up to 50x digital zoom and the HUAWEI Time of Flight (ToF) that measures depth of field for stunning bokeh effects and portrait shots. Up front, the HUAWEI P30 Pro packs an impressive 32MP camera as well. The images and videos taken are ensured to be crisp and clear, thanks to the Optical Image Stabilization and AI Image Stabilization technologies.

Videos are the new form of expression

Videos have now become the latest form of creative expression. Not only does it showcase a certain level of skill in shooting and editing, but it also provides users with a more defined platform to express their creativity or convey their message. Making sure that every moment is captured, the HUAWEI P30 Pro is capable of stunning video capture even in low light conditions.

To further create a unique aspect to shooting videos, the HUAWEI P30 Pro also packs in Dual-View Video1, a new way of recording videos that uses multiple cameras to shoot in different perspectives. Thanks to this feature users can shoot videos in both close-up and wide-angle shots at the same time, paving the way for an entirely new video recording experience.

The phone can recharge back up to 70 percent in just 30 minutes with the 40W Huawei SuperCharge and also supports 15W Wireless Charging as well as Wireless Reverse Charge, which allows users to charge other devices including earphones and wearables, and other phones by simply placing it on the phone, provided they support the Qi Wireless charging standard.

To ensure a super-smooth experience while browsing multiple social media platforms, the HUAWEI P30 Pro is packed with the Kirin 980, the company’s fastest chipset yet, that promises an improved performance without compromising on efficiency. Photos and videos taken will not face a space constraint either, thanks to 256GB or 512GB storage options, supported by 8GB RAM.
