P30 what is it

For a deep dive on how the P30 family's cameras work, check out this guide. Compared to the Samsung Galaxy S10 and Google Pixel 3 ranges, powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon and processors respectively, the P30 phones both perform poorly in benchmark tests. But this is one of those times when theoretical tests reflect little practical reality. The P30 phones are more than powerful enough to handle any task you throw at them.

So yes, on paper the P30 doesn't perform as well as competitors -- luckily for Huawei phones aren't made on paper. But there is still one problem that plagues the company's phones: EMUI. That's Huawei's software layer that sits above Android 9 Pie. Huawei's take on Android gives a bad first impression by coming preloaded with bloatware.

As well as Facebook and Netflix, the home screen is by default populated with Booking. The worst offenders are Huawei's own apps, many of which can't be deleted and are superfluous, serving the same purpose as Google 's superior default apps. Some aesthetic aspects of the operating system have been updated.

But the screensavers are a few years old now, noticeable for anyone who's owned a recent Huawei phone and perceivably outdated when compared to the freshened-up wallpapers and iconography.

You can enable an app drawer in settings, and you can also download a custom launcher to circumvent some of the software's rough edges. Some of that hassle is offset by the convenience of a long battery life. In our standardized battery test, which involves turning the phone on airplane mode and running a HD video on loop, the 3,mAh battery lasted 21 hours, 31 minutes, a few hours more than the exceptional S10 range.

The P30 Pro had even greater endurance, running just under 23 hours. Outside of its robust foundation, the P30 is feature rich. Like the Mate20 Pro before it, there's both facial recognition and an in-screen fingerprint scanner. That fingerprint scanner works well once you get used to it, but it can't authorize payments. Meanwhile, the P30's fastcharge feature is spectacular. Unlike the Pro, there's no wireless charging.

But, and this deserves repeating, there is a headphone jack. Huawei sure does know how to design an eye-catching phone. Last year's P20 Pro came in a pearlescent Twilight color that merged turquoise and purple. That obviously proved a hit, because Huawei's P30 range is almost all pearlescent. We got the P30 in Aurora Blue, which combines a turquoise blue with a deeper, ocean blue, and the Pro in Breathing Crystal, which merges an icy blue with a lavender purple.

The latter almost looks like a Game of Thrones White Walker-themed phone. The more subtle tones of the Breathing Crystal appeal to me more, but both look fantastic. Where the P30 and Pro differ drastically is in feel.

Setting aside for one moment Huawei's ongoing issues with the US and access to the Google Play Store, this is another superb handset from Huawei. We'd recommend it as a fantastic flagship, but be aware that future Android updates might not ever arrive.

By David Nield Last updated T Our Huawei P30 review is here to tell you exactly how well or otherwise Huawei's flagship phone hits its targets — it's smaller than the Huawei P30 Pro , and doesn't have as good a camera, but it's a solid step up from the Huawei P Is it something you should be spending your money on?

Google's recent announcement that it won't be supporting Android on future Huawei phones is worrying, but if you pick up the P30 you know you'll have full access to the Google Play Store at least.

What you won't get is any future Android updates — at least not until Huawei and Google and the US and China sort out their differences.

Black Friday deals. The Huawei P30 is smaller, thinner and less expensive than the Huawei P30 Pro, but the phones are very similar in many other areas — from the teardrop display notch to the super-fast Kirin processor under the hood.

The main benefit of picking up the P30 Pro is that extra rear camera lenses, which means a massive 5x optical zoom that you don't get on the standard P If you can live with a very good rather than a great camera though, we think the Huawei P30 is a very appealing proposition. It's fast, it's well built, and it ticks a lot of the boxes you need from a flagship in trade wars notwithstanding.

In this review we're looking at the Aurora model, that blue-to-turquoise gradient shade that we think looks rather appealing. Most retailers, including Mobiles.

Typically, paying everything up-front for the handset, you should be able to get the P30 for about three-quarters the price of the P30 Pro — a substantial saving. Does the phone justify that substantial saving? The rear camera is the biggest difference between the Huawei P30 and Huawei P30 Pro, because you get an extra lens and 5x optical zoom thrown in — in the case of the P30, you only get 3x optical zoom, so the P30 Pro can get you almost twice as close to the action without losing any image quality.

Huawei has always been passionate about the cameras on its phones, and this is once again in evidence with the Huawei P Switching to a completely different sensor setup from the rest of the industry is no small task, but add in Huawei's on-board AI processing, and we're pleased to report that the Huawei P30 takes some excellent photos.

Low light performance is very, very good — perhaps not quite up to Google Pixel Night Sight standards, but close enough. There is one caveat: if you want to take advantage of the built-in night mode here, you need to keep the phone still for several seconds.

You can take decent night time shots without it, but you get better shots with it enabled. The vast majority of photos we were able to take with the Huawei P30 were sharp and accurate, with minimal noise and plenty of detail.
