10 Incredible Photos Of Ireland You’d Never Think Were Taken On A Smartphone

Sarah

If you think you have to have an expensive camera to take a stellar photograph then you clearly haven’t been keeping up to date with the latest and greatest phones on the market.

Everyone went mad over the iPhone X, which has a dual 12MP rear camera and takes fab snaps, but a new phone released by Chinese brand Huawei has been gaining rave reviews – and the photographs taken on it prove it.

The Huawei P20 Pro is available from Three Ireland for €749 on prepay (€239 on bill pay), and I’ve been using it for the last few weeks as my “camera” phone, so I don’t have to lug a camera around for work.

What’s so good about it? Basically, it has three cameras on the back. Yep, not one, not two, but THREE.

This mega advanced camera system captures more light, more details and more beauty, and features a revolutionary Leica triple camera and 5x Hybrid Zoom.

The phone has built in AI which means it can sense what you’re taking pics of. Flowers? It’ll automatically change the settings for that and there’s a flattering ‘beauty’ mode.

Look, we weren’t convinced at first… How could a phone take photos as good as an actual camera?

These 10 amazing pictures of Ireland taken on the phone will show you all you need to know…

Fun fact: people are putting the special P20 watermark on the photo to prove it was taken with a smartphone. ‘Cos some of these snaps look too good to be real.
