The hardware of the P30 itself can providing a 5x optical zoom – without deteriorating the quality of the image being recorded.

Utilized along with digital zooming strategies the P30 was able to attain a 50 x zoom.

Reports recommend that the next generation of Huawei’s flagship photography line of mobile phones might consist of a 10 x optical zoom ability thanks to its usage of periscope lenses.

Periscope lenses permit higher optical zoom by bouncing light inside the phone off a mirror prior to passing it through another smaller sized lens which can be moved more detailed and even more far from the sensing unit, enhancing the light even more.

Although digital zoom strategies can increase the size of the images which are recorded by phone sensing units, these strategies are constantly constrained by how delicate the sensing unit is.
