🔒 Closed Huawei caught using dslr photos to highlight phone's camera

[jstrlx]

The commercial plays up the selfie-taking capabilities of Huawei's Nova 3 handset with examples of the high-quality photos you can take. However, a Reddit user has uncovered evidence that the photo examples were taken by a DSLR camera.




Don't always believe what you see. A new commercial from Huawei appears to be passing off DSLR-captured photos as images taken by a company smartphone.

The commercial, which has been running in Egypt, plays up the selfie-taking capabilities of Huawei's Nova 3 handset, including what the photos will supposedly look like. According to the ad, the images can look surprisingly vivid and sharp. However, an observant user on Reddit posted on Sunday that the photos promoted in the commercial were likely faked.

The evidence? One of the actors in the commercial, Sarah Elshamy, posted on Instagram a behind the scenes image, showing how the advertisement was made. By doing so, she accidentally revealed that a DSLR-camera was used to take one of the still shots that Huawei's smartphone appeared to capture in the ad.

One comment on particualr website caught my attention;

"The best part of all this, the guy in the leaked photo does not even hold a phone in his hand. They cannot come out and say they were taking the video while he was holding the phone and the phone was visible on the capture."

tama naman po, pero ung issue dito. bakit pa ginawa yan ni huawei yan eh halos lahat ng reviews ng mga techie nag ttop ang huawei camera vs other flagship.
kaya nga wag tayo madali maniwala sa commercial kasi nga di natin nakikita kung papaano nila ginawa yun.

Di ko masasagot yan kung bakit kasi yun ang gusto ng marketing nila eh, btw sinabi mo naman na top sila madalas sa mga tech reviews so I think wala ng issue dito sa ngyari diba?

Unless pati sa mga reviews buking din na hindi pala maganda pero since top naman sila eh, ano pang magiging problema dun?
