Huawei Consumer Business
Group (CBG) today received two awards from the Expert Imaging and Sound
Association (EISA), a group comprising 55 of the world’s most respected
consumer electronics magazines. HUAWEI’s P40 Pro was named “EISA Smartphone
Camera 2020-2021” by the Association, alongside the HUAWEI WATCH GT 2, which
won the accolade of “Best Smartwatch 2020-2021.”
The EISA called out the
HUAWEI P40 Pro as being “a true champion in its class,” praising the phone’s
camera capabilities, display technology and luxurious design. High praise was
also shared for the HUAWEI WATCH GT 2, with the association claiming that
thanks to the watch’s smart design and host of fitness features, “a modern
classic is born.”
"We are thrilled to
continue our winning streak with EISA and pleased with the recognition of two
of our standout products, the HUAWEI P40 Pro and HUAWEI WATCH GT 2,” said Kevin
Ho, President of Handset Business, Huawei Consumer Business Group. “With every
device, Huawei is committed to bringing new and exciting experiences to
consumers, from a smartwatch that can push your workout limits with the HUAWEI
WATCH GT 2 to a smartphone that is breaking boundaries of smartphone
photography with the HUAWEI P40 Pro."
The EISA recognises the
“luxurious designed” HUAWEI P40 Pro as the perfect companion for those who use
their smartphone for taking stunning photos on a daily basis, believing the
phone marked yet another impressive advance in mobile photography. This award
was won as a result of the unmatched photography capabilities of the HUAWEI P40
Pro, from the primary 50-megapixel Ultra Vision Camera with phase detection
auto-focus and optical image stabilisation and its 12-megapiel periscope
telephoto lens, allowing for 5x optical zoom, to the incredible 40-megapixel
Ultra-Wide Cine Camera for advanced video capture. Added to this are the HUAWEI
P40 Pro’s ToF 3D depth Camera and AI Photography enhancement, giving users a
premium technology experience which EISA has said “pushes smartphone camera
technology forward.”
Looking to the winner of
this year’s EISA “Best Smartwatch” the HUAWEI WATCH GT 2, EISA has praised the
device as it “melds the talents of modern smartwatches” for its design, AMOLED
display, and physical control. With up to two week battery life and host
