Huawei broke the “Guinness World Records” title for the most selfies taken with different people in three minutes, with some 160 individuals that came in and out of the frame to take a selfie using the Mate 9, behind the tallest building in the world in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
As per the Guinness World Records guidelines, the image was a selfie taken by an individual using a smartphone or digital camera and was captured in exactly 180 seconds. To achieve this feat, Huawei naturally selected their all-new flagship device the Huawei Mate 9 and put the device to the ultimate speed test.
To capture the ultimate selfie for the world record attempt, the team utilised the 8-megapixel front camera on the Mate 9, which is also equipped with user-friendly auto-focus and smile capture. Additionally, the camera used the new, natural looking skin beautification algorithms developed by Huawei’s Aesthetics Center in France.
The Mate 9 features Huawei’s impressive second-generation dual-lens technology co-engineered with Leica Camera AG. The 12-megapixel RGB sensor and a 20-megapixel monochrome sensor work in tandem along with the enhanced image fusion algorithms to offer unparalleled smartphone photography.
On the achievement, David Wang, country manager (UAE) for Huawei Consumer Business Group said, “Breaking the Guinness World Records title with the Mate 9 cements our belief that this smartphone is truly unbeatable. We’re proud to hold the Guinness World Records title and view this as a testament to the standard-setting work we do on a daily basis.”
The previous record featured 122 people in October 2016. Huawei’s victory by 38 additional people makes the record even more difficult for attempters to try.
Achieving the Guinness World Records title using the Mate 9 marks a major achievement as 2017 begins, Huawei said in a release.
