TIPA, the Technical Image Press Association, which is composed of many photography publications around the world, has awarded the Huawei P40 series the award for best Photo smartphone of 2020.

These types of awards normally don't involve a lot of testing, but focus more on innovation, in the Huawei P40 series' case that's the use of the largest smartphone sensor - the 50MP 1/1.28-inch unit with omnidirectional phase-detect autofocus.

Huawei dominates the TIPA awards, having secured the best smartphone photography award ever since its introduction in 2017.
