"A portrait has to be timeless. Timeless, plus some emotion, whether it’s a sad emotion, happiness or an emotion that you can feel and you can give to be seen by the people. So that’s what makes a good portrait. And after that, it’s a combination between a good light, a good posture and a good feeling of the models, that we can feel him, that he is, I would say not comfortable, but in the present moment, you know what I mean?"

"It was the size of the portrait, where do you put the eyes in the portrait. How to play with the light and shadow to make the portrait beautiful. A piece of art, in fact. It’s to give the opportunity for everyone to be able to make a good picture and a picture that can be a piece of art, not only a memory."

"Without the AI it wouldn’t be possible to do a good picture, because you have to translate the depth of the picture, you have to translate also black and white colour also, and mainly shadow and light. So it’s not very simple. It’s not like an algorithm, it’s not so simple. And it takes a lot of time, an hour and a half to be able to do that. And thanks to the technology of Honor, without them, it wouldn’t be possible."

17. SOUNDBITE (English) Ben Wood, Chief Analyst, CCS Insight:
"As smartphones have become more of a kind of homogenous category, differentiating your phone from rivals is a big deal, and what we’re seeing from our consumer research is that the camera is one of the fundamental decision making criteria that people have when they’re looking to get a new phone. And it’s not just the camera on the back of your phone anymore. The selfie camera has become just as important, and that’s becoming an area where we’re seeing manufacturers investing a lot. So we see manufacturers putting better sensors on the front of their devices, cameras that can collect more light, are better in low light conditions, are better in conditions where you might be moving fast, wide angle lenses and even other capabilities like adding in algorithms to things like a beauty shot."
