Huawei officially presented its P30 and P30 Pro this Tuesday, March 26, 2019, at a conference in Paris. Unsurprisingly, they take up the good features and part of the technical sheet of the latest mobile Mate range. The emphasis, however, is on photography, a specialty of the P series.





Huawei P30 and P30 Pro Datasheet





Huawei P30 is equipped with SoC Kirin 980 engraved 7nm which has already proven on the Mate 20 and Honor View 20. It is supported by 6 GB of RAM (8 GB for the P30 Pro). Internal storage is 128GB for the P30 and 128GB, 256GB and 512GB for the P30 Pro (expandable by NM Card).



The Huawei P30 Pro ships a 6.47-inch OLED display with 2440 x 1080 pixels. The power supply is provided by a 4200 mAh battery, up from its predecessor. It supports SuperCharge 40 Watts, which allows it to go from 0% to 70% in 30 minutes depending on the manufacturer (full charge in 60 minutes). Qi wireless charging is also part of it. The P30 Pro retains Mate 20 Pro reverse charging to charge other Qi compatible devices, such as wireless headphones.









The Huawei P30 has a 6.1 inch OLED FHD + and 19.5: 9 ratio. Its autonomy is ensured by a battery of 3650 mAh. Note the presence of a 3.5mm jack, which is back when he was absent from the P20.



Both smartphones use Android 9 Pie and the overlay EMUI 9.1 home. They have a fingerprint reader under the screen, as on the Mate 20 Pro. Both smartphones are water and dust resistant: the P30 Pro is IP68 certified while the P30 is IP53 compliant. Note also the presence of a USB-C port and a Bluetooth 5.0 compatibility.





The camera



It is obviously on this ground that we expect the most P30 after the demonstration made last year with the P20 Pro, the first smartphone equipped with a triple sensor on the back and still among the best cameras on the market a year later. The P30 Pro is rated 112 by DxOMark, 119 in photo and 97 in the video. Which makes it the highest rated smartphone by the company.









The Huawei P30 Pro ships a quadruple photosensor. It offers a main module of 40 MP RYB with 27 mm lens, f / 1.8 aperture and OIS (image stabilization). It comes with an ultra-wide angle 20 MP RGB lens 16mm f / 2.4 sensor, a perimeter 8 MP lens 25-125 mm (optical zoom) and f / 3.4 OIS as well as a ToF sensor for depth of field. the front camera consists of a 32 MP sensor opening at f / 2.



We are promised unbelievable performance in low light conditions. Comparisons of the P30 Pro with the iPhone XS Max and Galaxy S10 + were presented, showing obvious superiority. Of course, in this kind of presentation, brands always tend to exaggerate.



The P30 does not have a ToF module. The setup of the triple sensor is close to that of the Pro but not quite the same. We have the same main module of 40 MP f / 1.8, then an ultra-wide angle of 16 MP f / 2.2 and finally a telephoto lens of 8 MP f / 2.4.





Price and release date



The Huawei P30 and P30 Pro are available in the following colors: White, Breathing Crystal, Black, Amber Sunrise and Aurora. The actual release date of smartphones is scheduled for April 5, 2019, and the orders open on March 26. Here are the prices announced by Huawei for the variants of the P30 and P30 Pro:





Huawei P30 at 799 euros

Huawei P30 Pro 8GB RAM / 128GB at 999 euros
