Huawei P30 Pro review

The P30 Pro does almost everything right, at least when you consider what most people expect from a top of the line handset these days. It has a great curved screen with very good palm rejection, top-shelf innards, amazing battery life, one of the best rear camera systems ever put in a pocketable device, and software that is fast and smooth.

The zoom on its own will make the new Huawei an extremely tempting option for many mobile photographers, but the camera performs very well in almost all other areas as well. The P30 Pro is easily the most versatile mobile imaging tool to date, allowing you to cover a wider range of photographic situations than any other smartphone.

It’s a pretty impressive phone. And if you’re worried about that whole thing about how Huawei might spy on you for China through your phone … well at least with that 32 MP selfie camera, you can be assured your hacked nudes will look impeccable!

With an exquisite design backed by one of the best cameras you'll find today, the P30 Pro is a stellar phone in 2019. The primary 40MP camera takes outstanding photos, but it's the zoom lens that makes the phone particularly enticing: there are no other devices that take such detailed photos at 5x zoom. EMUI is no longer a limiting factor, the battery life is outstanding, and the hardware is top-notch. Put it all together and you get a knockout phone.

If you want a camera experience that is second to none in terms of quality and versatility, battery life, flagship performance, wireless charging, ultra-fast charging, and stylish all-glass design with premium build-quality, then the answer is a resounding yes. So long as Huawei is able to maintain its ability to access Google Play Services and the Android OS.

While the Huawei P30 Pro smartphone has a fairly standard design, it does have solid build quality, great performance, decent battery life, and an outstanding camera with many features. If mobile photography is your thing, you’ll be hard pressed to find a better camera on another phone.

If you look at the P30 Pro on its merits alone there is no other flagship on the market today I’d rather have in my pocket. It’s combination of photography prowess, raw power and battery life make for a deadly combination. When we look at Huawei’s current problematic situation the answer takes on new shape. The risk of it not being truly supported in the future has meant some stores have begun pulling the phone from shelves.

The Huawei P30 Pro comes with an array of key improvements including IP68 water and dust resistance, highly accurate in-display fingerprint scanner, reverse wireless charging, flagship Kirin 980 chipset, battery life, and availability of more color options. It makes a great choice for photography enthusiasts, thanks to its quadruple camera setup, and sets the gold standard for the entire mobile industry. However, just like any device, the Huawei P30 Pro isn’t perfect, but its shortfalls are negligible such as the lack of a headphone jack.

Huawei has seen its smartphone strategy flipped on its head in recent weeks. Despite its issues with the US trade ban, the Huawei P30 Pro is an incredible device which can compete with the likes of the Samsung Galaxy S10 and many other flagship devices we’ve seen this year.  The Huawei P30 Pro goes beyond featuring some of the best hardware packed into a smartphone, including optics which redefine expectations for a smartphone camera. But there’s much more than just the lenses to be impressed by.

The handset is choke full of camera innovations and the software still manages to keep things simple at the user end. We managed to shoot awesome shots without putting in much work. Figuring out the right color mode preference took us a while, but we gradually settled for  Standard colors. The Super Zoom is unlike what we have seen on any other phone till date, and the low light performance is excellent. The camera also manages to capture an impressive amount of details across all shooting modes and options.
