Tech2 says the Huawei P30 Pro “makes the Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus look redundant.” The Verge hails it as “the best camera you can’t buy in the U.S.” Others take out the qualifier altogether. Why? It’s all about zoom.

Huawei’s new zoom-in camera phone feature is a privacy and surveillance nightmare. pic.twitter.com/xVlpuMSEtc Mashable’s Stan Schroeder snapped this picture that, while grainy, gives a sense of the potential spy-power of the phone’s camera. “If this makes you uncomfortable, I know how you feel,” he wrote. “It felt odd taking this photo, even when I knew I’ve had full permission to do it .” Basically, the 50x zoom combines a 5x optical zoom with artificial intelligence-driven digital magnification.

According to SlashGear, customers living in the United States can still import the phone, but there are some caveats. First, these phones only support GSM networks like AT&T T, -0.56% and T-Mobile TMUS, +0.11% leaving Sprint S, -3.61% and Verizon VZ, -0.05% out in the cold. Another word of caution for would-be importers: The Huawei P30 Pro doesn’t come with a warranty.
