The main optics are paired with a 12MP ultra-wide-angle sensor offering a 112° field of view and a 2MP depth-of-field management lens. The latter is mainly used to apply a precise and efficient bokeh effect when using portrait mode, the purpose of which is to highlight the subject. Speaking of portrait mode, Honor also innovates by allowing you to capture a portrait with the main camera using two different focal lengths, one equivalent to a 23mm and the other to a 48mm, approaching the 50mm format appreciated by professional photographers.
