Huawei P30 Pro review

In many ways, the P30 Pro and P30 are both iterative phones. Both devices are taking aspects first introduced in their predecessor P20 series – as well as the sister Mate 20 series – and improving and packaging them into phones with an emphasis on photography.

The Huawei P30 Pro's impressive camera skills and vibrant design easily beat the Galaxy S10 Plus and the Pixel 3, but political entanglements mean the phone won't come to the US.

Huawei is the most exciting phone manufacturer today. It's been consistently putting out great phones with innovative features and incredible cameras for the past few years now and the P30 is the culmination of those efforts. The quad camera alone is reason enough to buy this phone, but it also has the longest battery life around with the fastest charging battery, a beautiful curved glass design and a huge display with a tiny notch, plus two gorgeous and unique gradient color options (and also Black).

It offers everything that an amateur and a professional photographer would need from a mobile camera setup. The crazy zoom features are unmatched and start a new era of mobile photography. The low-light camera performance is once again something a different game altogether. Additionally, the impressive portrait camera output, wide-angle lens and super steady video stabilization make P30 Pro the most recommended camera handset in the year 2019.

The P30 Pro is the best smartphone Huawei has ever made. From its cameras, battery and performance, the P30 Pro gets a lot of things right. The phone is certainly not cheap, but the price is justified for someone who is damn serious about mobile photography.

A quick glance at the checklist, and the Huawei P30 Pro really holds no prisoners with the design, the performance, excellent battery life, lots of AI and well, the cameras that are setting a new benchmark in smartphone photography. It is not without faults though, such as a basic face unlock mechanism, a proprietary memory card slot and the dated EMUI user interface exhibiting some rough edges, but nothing deal breaking.

Offering a delightful look and feel, excellent performance, impressive battery life, and just about the best phone camera we’ve ever seen, the Huawei P30 Pro has so much going for it, phone manufacturers have a reason to be concerned.

Less

The P30 Pro is perhaps the first phone I have used which comes with an exceptional camera without compromising on phone performance – a charge that can be levelled at many of the “camera disguised as a phone” brigade, including the Nokia PureView series, the Galaxy Zoom series and of course, even the last two editions of the Pixel. The P30 Pro is a great camera. And a great phone too.

Huawei has delivered a set of cameras that far surpass Apple, Samsung, and Google's current flagships in terms of features and capabilities. The 5X optical zoom is a game-changer, and low-light shots are a class apart. However, as our detailed camera comparison has already shown, there are some cases when the P30 Pro does not deliver the best shot, and some cases when you might subjectively prefer another option. Other than its cameras, the Huawei P30 Pro is strong, but so are its competitors.

Huawei's P30 Pro has one of the best camera systems we've ever tested. Its wide, 5x optical telephoto lens and 10x hybrid zoom make it extremely versatile, and the new RYYB filter array lets it show much more detail than competitors. Video stabilization is best-in-class and low-light capabilities blow away the competition.
