Huawei cheated on a photo for a photography competition. The alleged image, which was supposed to come from a P40 Pro, was instead taken with a professional camera. However, this was not the first time that the Chinese manufacturer was caught.
Well - sometimes it is better for manufacturers to advertise the smartphone as better than it really is. As 9to5Google citing the South China Morning Post reported that Huawei made its P40 Pro look too good for a photo competition. The photographer was simply asked to take the picture with a Nikon D850 camera, which is a professional camera and costs several thousand euros.

In this promo video, the Chinese manufacturer advertises some pictures that were supposedly shot with the Huawei P40 Pro. However, the two pictures above were not actually taken with the smartphone. Instead, they simply took the photo "LIKE A DIAMOND" from 500px and sold it as a picture of the P40 Pro.
Huawei is surprised and claims that the picture is from the platform Huawei NEXT IMAGE Awards 2020 The picture has now been removed and it was an oversight. Not a good move. Our (non-cheating) review of the P40 Pro will be available here shortly on TechnikNews.
