Huawei P30 review

vrvly, 15 Apr 2019Well it's not just camera they updated, but considering the... moreNo Huawei flagship phone worth its price. Overpriced rubbish compared to Galaxy S10, iPhone Xs and Google Pixel XL. Camera versatility itself is not good enough.Photos quality and consistency is also very important which Huawei is missing.

    Nick Tagataka, 15 Apr 2019Uhh, I'm not quite sure about the user experience being bet... moreI have Google Pixel 3 for half a year already. I has the best Android OS indeed in all terms. No single bug since day one. Huawei will never reach this level and they seems not even try. They just don't really care about good user experience which, perhaps, coincides with approach of communist party to their own people. Also I have Huawei Mate 20 Pro for the last 2 month and I cad give you the list of my complains with at least 12 bullet points with it. Mate 20 Pro speakers are just rubbish compared to small and now cheaper Pixel 3. Earpiece is apparently worse on Mate as well. I clearly hear it. I can continue but just tired to fight with Huawei fanboys.

          Hi, I am choosing between P30, Mate 20 pro, Mi 9 and P20 pro. Which one ? I prefer the best camera (only photo, not videos).

            NEONE, 21 Apr 2019Yes, this is pretty much what i thought. Thanks.No prob. Feel free to ask any questions as you see fit

              NEONE, 21 Apr 2019Yes, this is pretty much what i thought. Thanks.If you like to take photos at night then P30 is undoubtedly the better choice for you. In daylight, nowadays all flagship smartphones perform very similarly so Mi 9 should do just fine. By the way P30 also has IP53 splash resistance, which might be good to have if you find yourself using your phone in a rain/with wet hands often.

                        Nick Tagataka, 18 Apr 2019P30 is better in both unless you play games on your phone..... moreNot playing games.

                        Yes, it is more expensive and this is why I asked as the mi 9 got excellent rate in dxomark and p30 was not tested.

                        Regarding the camera, I'm talking about use it like a mostly "regular" user... Most of the time using it in auto mode. Point and shoot and not using it in manual mode or something sofisticated.

                          Which one is better?
                          P20 PRO at 499€ or
                          P30 "not-pro" at 550€ ?

                            NEONE, 18 Apr 2019SO what do you think is better: P30 (not pro) or the Mi 9?... moreP30 is better in both unless you play games on your phone.. And P30 is the more expensive one.

                                  @gsmarena: you praise the P30 and make it clear that competition is limited, yet your review rating for the P30 is lower than the S10/e's. How is it that possible?

                                    funtastic, 16 Apr 2019guys shall i buy mate20pro at 530 used or the new p30 at 55... moreWell it depends kinda. If you're okay with a curved screen and want 3D face scanning, then the Mate 20 Pro. Otherwise, if flat screen and smaller notch are more important to you, the P30

                                        Anonymous, 16 Apr 2019well, display, the memory chips(can be from toshiba) and so... moreIn typical Apple fashion, it could be that the design came from them but only get them manufactured in Samsung's manufacturing plants.
                                        Perhaps the memory chips came from Toshiba, though I wouldn't doubt if some are from Samsung, but the modems are either Intel, Qualcomm, or MediaTek only.
                                        I don't remember Samsung making modems or whatever.
