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.

Used sony sensors and still managed to beat xperia 1, may even beat upcoming xperia 2, 3 and 4, etc. Lol

      "On the other hand if you don't need 5x zoom, but 2x or 3x then the P30 Pro would have to resort to digitally zooming from its main 27mm camera and will actually end up worse than them.

      Wow, that kills it. Most of the time you only need 2-3x.

        No punch hole, no buy. Sorry huawei, I hate that ugly notch. Need to shave chin a bit, too.

          Phone Reviewer, 27 Mar 2019Literally nobody needs a camera anymore I guess You got wide, normal, tele, makro in one device, so unlike camera, almost impossible to compare. As much like seeing what you focus on such big screen and using thin small body.
          Though main difference is in colors and detail, they just got closer again.

            10mp sharp like 12mp(unlike mate/p20 before) and that iso 400.000, definitely improvement.
            Hopefully some day also ultra clarity mode.

              See the camera samples, camera algorithm & image processing are finally great on P30 Pro! No more overprocess & oversharpening looks! Nicely done Huawei.

                Modest Mind, 26 Mar 2019Smoking is also allowed but it does not mean it is healthy ... moreFacts about the measured radiation in last 15 years have proved that the radiation of phones are just that, news. There haven't been any proved harmful cause of phone radiation to humans. I still wonder how people still believe something like this. Every year we have same discussion...Remember when people freaked out because of 5Ghz WLAN? When they said it will give us all brain cancer? Do you know how many cases have been proven to be caused by 5Ghz WLAN? None...

                  Literally nobody needs a camera anymore I guess

                    Alex, 26 Mar 2019$1000, ey? So, what to buy for $1000? A $500 Canon Rebel ... moreSo ... what is better??? To have ALWAYS with you a very good camera witch is a verry good phone too with low weight under 200g (P30 pro), or a SOMETIMES to carry a 2 kg camera AND a phone???

                      they went fully photography with huawei P30 Pro, they basicly took mate 20 pro body and put super camera lenses on it, but for me i will just wait for mate 30 pro where they are not fully foucsing on photograph, and improve the phone other department problems

                            i think in china they will get 12 ram version with 5G

                              Stefan DS, 26 Mar 2019My previous Mate20 pro has worst battery life than my actua... moreno, i don't, i had a p20pro and i can say i was disspointed with the battery, given it was a 4000mah, and the photo side,given the 40mpx sensor.only difference it was in the dark, but the detail was lacking.i mean vs a lg v30+ that i have now.i just love this v30, it has all you need. and no notch!

                                you shouldn't told me thta the camera is not balanced gsmarena aaaaaaaa

                                  someone, 26 Mar 2019What about RAW photos, can I save them from every camera?Have read many reviews and used both, the iPhone is not the better overall camera. Overall for me the Samsung camera is better at both photos and video. Both are great but overall the S10 is a level up.

                                    Wait for the day Huawei put serious effort onAUDIO quality, as it is in camera department.

                                    Where is the HiFi Quad DAC??!
