When shooting night scenes, the amount of light entering is more sufficient, and the depth of field is also shallower, making the blur effect more natural. The F4.0 ultra-small aperture depth expansion has been increased to 236% (compared to F/1.8). With the blessing of the XD Portrait portrait engine, it can achieve a super blur effect. This is comparable to professional SLRs, and the algorithm effect is significantly better than that of ordinary mobile phones. powerful.

Satellite communication
Huawei officially announced that the Huawei nova 11 Ultra will be the first product in the nova series to use a two-way Beidou satellite message function. The addition of two-way satellite messages not only supports the sending of messages but also supports message replies.
When the user is in a desert and tough area, in a place where there is no ground network signal coverage, this device can come through. It will be very useful in areas of distress, disasters and other tight scenarios. There are reports that the Beidou satellite tech on Huawei phones is a high-orbit satellite with a distance of up to 36,000 kilometres. However, Huawei did not expand the antenna. Instead, it improved the communication experience through high-gain algorithms and new communication protocols. This solves the need for the feature to consume so much power and other technical difficulties.
