23 January 2019
Huawei will move away from wide notches (and 3D face scanning) and embrace the in-display fingerprint reader.

          There are rumors Huawei will bring new camera tech developed in Huawei's research labs to their future phones, including liquid lenses, and new sensors developed by Huawei's own semiconductor branch, not from Sony.

                There are rumors that Huawei Mate30 series will come with new camera technology with liquid lenses. Not sure what it is.

                  A true photography beast Huawei has been killing in camera department lately and move to OLED means even non pro will cost a fortune

                    2019 has just started and the market is already filled with new phones: Samsung S10, Huawei P30, Mi mix 3 5G edition (as early as March), Vivo NEX 2 (2019), (Vivo's follow-through on Vivo Apex 2019 will come later, this is different from Vivo NEX 2019), new Oppo flagship with 10x optical zoom, (hopefully Oppo Find XI will come later) … Let the war start!

                      Samsung is going to have a hard time beating the Huawei P30 series, more loss of sales incoming and more increase for huawei

                        So, nothing special in design. Thats bad, they should have everything to intercept samsung move. Number 1 is still far away wawei..

                            Huawei reminds me of Facebook and Apple: they put others' all great ideas in their products. Even if not original, it seems like this strategy is working (this time it is about Oppo's periscope camera idea).

                              Another Beast

                                Huawei P30 is a Samsung S10 killer. The main camera will lift smartphone camera technology to a new level. The DxOMark will reach a new height. Samsung used to have several months for its S10 series before the new iphones. This leaves no such space for Samsung.

                                    Mate 20 Pro camera with Headphone jack or 10x Zoom with a larger sensor but no headphone jack?

                                    I'll get the one with the Jack. I will buy phones with Headphone jacks until my 3 year old ATH-M50x dies. If it did, I would be buying some wireless Bone Conduction headphones and P30 Pro or Mate 30 Pro.

                                        Sounds amazing nearly bought the p20 pro last year but went for an honor 10 instead but will defo be looking for a p30 pro contract this year.
                                        Just a shame there making phones so big the honor 10 is a great phone for one handed use, but hey ho..
