Huawei P30 Pro review

26 March 2019
Huawei has completely blurred the lines between its signature Mate and P series by raising the bar higher and higher every six months. And it has done it yet again with the Huawei P30 Pro - now with an even larger AMOLED screen and a brand-new quad-camera setup that aims to become the new benchmark for the whole industry.

dado77, 27 Mar 2019Exactly....and beacause of that i don't read their reviews... moreMate 20 Pro's USB port speaker actually has very good bass for a smartphone (i.e. not non-existent like most other phones, including Samsung). Have a look at Notebookcheck reviews where they measure speaker frequency range if you don't believe me. Not sure why GSMarena doesn't do this too.

    Gsmarena don’t believe that P30 Pro has better OLED panel than iPhone XS Max and S10 plus.

      This phone is bad for audiophiles, no 3.5 mm jack, no stereo speakers. Mate 20 (without pro) is much better in that aspect. And it's no competition for Samsung S10+ for music lovers.

            Speaker test receives "Excelent" mark in sound test and at the same time you write that it is similar to Mate 20 Pro? We all know how poor was speaker on Mate 20 Pro even though it received "Very good" mark in sound test. I don't quite get how do you measure speaker loudness and quality. Samsung s9 series are much better in sound quality and loudness, only lazy man haven't confirmed it yet, but no, GSMarena tells us something completely different. GSMarena, your speaker loudness test is not credible at all. I don't know what to think, either you are being bias or you should recalibrate/ replace your sound measuring equipment. Otherwise brilliant mobile, but poor speakers are dealbraker for me.

This time round p30 pro has 5x lossless optical zoom and 10x digital which actually really looks fantastic still. And it can go to upto 50x cripmode zoom, no any other smartphone can do that at the moment!

                  A full review before the phone is released?! What's happening to you, GSMarena? And also you should refresh the list of liked phones... Stuck on 2017-2018 phones! Maybe you should recreate the list based on all-time (since you opened shop) most liked phones by us registered users of GSMarena. My opinion, though!

                        GSM arena has always produced lovely in depth reviews. However, I have observed in recent reviews "panorama" section under camera head is not included.
                        Also I personally will like if phone radiation level is included in the review. It will further help us customers to choose which phone shall be bought and may also draw attention of manufacturers in reducing radiation level in their devices.
