The Dual-View feature allows you to film wide-angle and zoom simultaneously with the Huawei P30 Pro, and it’s finally being rolled out in a forthcoming software update.
One of the standout features announced at the launch event of the Huawei P30 Pro was its Dual-View mode, which will give you the close-up details of your subject thanks to the P30 Pro’s digitally enhanced 10x lossless zoom, and also give the widescreen context using the wide-angle lens.
This feature is finally beginning to roll out via a software update, so if you’re seeking to be Smartphone Scorsese you won’t have much longer to wait.

It’s no secret that the Huawei P30 Pro offers an incredible camera set-up – in fact we rated it as the best we’ve ever used, knocking the Google Pixel 3 off its perch.
The P30 Pro has got a triple camera set-up: a 40-megapixel main camera, an ultra-wide 20-megapixel lens, and an 8-megapixel telephoto lens for its unparalleled zooming ability. The low-light photography is just as impressive as its zoom, as it gives more detail than any other smartphone camera on the market. Get all the details in our deep-dive Huawei P30 Pro camera review.
