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.

$1000, ey?
So, what to buy for $1000? A $500 Canon Rebel T6 with 18-50 and 75-300 mm lenses plus a nice $500 phone, or a $1000 phone with mediocre camera? Let me think for a second ....

    My several years old note 4 can make better videos and does have 4k in 60p. Shame on you Huawei.

      Even phones with LCD can reach better values.

          regs, 26 Mar 2019Stabilization is better. but 4K is really bad. Very jerky. ... moreVideo bitrate is a matter of choice , not cpu power ...
          The compression used by the codec and resolution too.
          Xperia 10 has 56MBps 4K30. With SD630.
          Kirin 980 is much more stronger ...
          Less bitrate = smaller file

          Having 4K60 = cpu being strong enough to do it and OEM's choice to provide if cpu is capable.

            The aurora is stunning

                Photos look kinda washed out to me ....

                Probably because of the yellow subpixel.

                  Photos are good but video is very bad. Details and texture are joke.

                        Dxo marked p30pro video same score as mate 20 pro?! Goodbuy Huawei. 27 bitrate for flagship phone. That is a joke.

                          The P30 Pro is an all-rounder, just like Mate 20 Pro was. Both phones have their ups and downs compared to each other, but neither has a major letdown of any kind. Also, that battery endurance is just lovely. Huawei has done a commendable job overall!

                            I waited out this model just to see if they have improved speakers and video. I didn't want to buy S10 while this didn't come out to see what it offers. So they are even more improved image quality, further improve the already brutal battery, speed up system too fast anyway ... And all the flaws that is Matte 20 pro had left untouched. It's time for S10

                                      Anonymous, 26 Mar 2019Video is again terrible. Why Hauwei? Who cares about photos... moreStabilization is better. but 4K is really bad. Very jerky. Looks like SoC is too slow for that bitrate. So no wonder there is no 4K60.

                                      I wonder if it's capable to record videos longer than few minutes?

                                        What it's really misses is no word on lens distortion correction with ultra wide angle lens. S10 do have optional lens distortion correction.
