Huawei P30 128 GB / 6 GB

Almost Pro

The flagship smartphone Huawei P30 Pro has become another challenge to the camera phone market and immediately captured the first lines of the ratings of the best cameras. Unfortunately, no less interesting, and in some ways even more attractive younger brother Huawei P30 has remained in its shadow.

Not only comfortable, but also beautiful

The smartphone is noticeably different in design from the P30 Pro, and these differences are entirely positive. The device turned out to be smaller, so it fits more comfortably in the hand. It does not have side edges narrowed to sharpness, they are slightly rounded, which adds points to ergonomics — the smartphone lies firmly in the hand and does not strive to slip onto the floor. The design of the back panel is similar in many respects: the cover is gradient with overflow, plus the texture of the substrate under the glass also shimmers (like liquid metal), which gives the colour a three-dimensional texture. The case itself received protection against splashes and dust according to the IP53 standard.

OLED screen between "great" and "excellent"

The front-facing 2340x1080 OLED screen with a wide colour gamut looks somewhere between "chic" and "excellent". You can't expect anything else from a premium smartphone. In terms of hardware, we have full hardware: the top-end Kirin 980 processor of our own production, the Mali-G76 ten-core video chip and 6 GB of RAM. In the latter case, I would still like 8 GB. It's not a necessity, but flagships have taught the best of the best. Yes, and the margin of durability will not be superfluous.

The new standard in mobile photography

The fingerprint scanner from the back wall has moved to the front, under the display glass. But there are no fewer elements on the back either: there are three cameras, as well as a fairly bright two-tone LED flash and autofocus sensors. The Huawei P30 camera knows almost all the tricks that the flagship P30 Pro does: stitching shots with different exposures, optical and hybrid zoom, manual angle change, improved artificial intelligence, etc. In general, the main camera here is half a step lower than that of its older brother , (and he was recently the best camera phone on the market), but the front camera is the same.

Skimmed P30 Pro

Of the other goodies, we have a USB-C connection, an NFC chip, and wireless charging. Taking into account the price of $800, the buyer receives a luxurious mobile device in terms of design with excellent overall characteristics, an excellent screen, a powerful hardware platform, decent cameras, sound and battery life. Yes, the camera here is simpler than that of the Pro version, but its capabilities are more than enough for most users, because it still remains at the level of top solutions.
