In London today, 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.”

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.
