Camera
The Mate S featured a single 13 MP rear camera that stood out for its time due to optical image stabilization and dual-LED dual-tone flash. It also supported HDR and panorama modes, making it versatile in various lighting conditions. Although the 1080p video recording cap might feel limited by today’s standards, it was standard at the time. The 8 MP front-facing camera, equipped with LED flash, was adequate for selfies. However, it could suffer under low-light conditions due to an f/2.4 aperture.
