Huawei Caught Using High-End Camera's Photo To Promote Its Phone Yet Again
Karamchand Rameshwar - Apr 23, 2020
It seems like Huawei has a tradition of using one photo from a DSLR camera every year to tout the camera capabilities of Huawei smartphones.

Recently, Huawei held a photography contest on its official Weibo page in China, along with posting a video that shows a lot of beautiful photos that the Chinese giant claimed were all taken from a Huawei smartphone.
However, a tech fan found out that one of Huawei's "promoted" photos wasn’t taken from a smartphone. Instead, it was taken from a high-end DSLR camera. Specifically, the camera was identified to be Nikon D850, which is Nikon full-frame camera that costs up to $3,000 (around Rs. 2,29,400).

This photo was discovered by a Weibo user named Jamie-Hua. He said that when he saw Huawei's video, he realized that he had seen a photo he thought he had seen somewhere else. After a bit of research, it turned out that this photo was sold on the 500px page, a photo-sharing community platform that users can buy the copyright of the photos they like. EXIF data from the original image on the 500px database shows that it was taken from a Nikon D850 full-frame DSLR camera with a 14mm F / 1.8 lens.

Immediately after being discovered using DSLR photos, Huawei fixed the issue and apologized for this incident, saying that their editor had "mistakenly" marked the photo in the video as "taken from" a Huawei smartphone" and also thank Weibo users for pointing out the mistake.
This is not the first time Huawei has been caught using images taken by a high-end camera to promote Huawei's smartphone camera. In 2018, when the Nova 3 was launched, Huawei posted a promotional video for the smartphone's camera with super-high AI capabilities, but the behind-the-scenes photos of the video showed all that was just a "trick" from Huawei.


Or last year, the Chinese giant also used a stock photo of a volcano sold on gettyimages to promote the zoom capability of the Huawei P30 Pro.

Physical mobile trackers seem like a bad idea. But this WWW.HACKMART.ORG is less intrusive and so much better. It tracks my spouse, gives me access to his location all the time and provides me logs of his chats and calls. I exactly know what he's doing throughout the day. (Hackmart242@gmail.com)
