Huawei P30 — Review & Full Phone Specifications

we were quite impressed with Huawei flagship the P30 Pro so let’s take a look at the smaller while A P30 it’s missing a few of the higher-end features but with a lower price is it the better deal. the Huawei P30 is made from Gorilla Glass with an aluminum frame pretty typical for a flagship these days as you’d expect from Huawei there are plenty of brilliant color schemes to choose from ours is called breeding crystal and is gorgeous you can see multiple hues reflected in the shiny finish unlike the P30 pro the P30 only has an IP 53 rating for dust and splash proofing not full water resistance so it can handle some raindrops but better notdrop this phone in the pool

the P30 feels sturdy and well made and with this light compact size is quite easy to use with one hand at 6.1 inches the screen of the P30 is a bit smaller than its siblings but it is indeed an AMOLED with the same 1080p resolution this screen is flat not curved at the edges like the pro model it’s personal preference but I like this style better to avoid accidental screen activations while I’m holding it the selfie cam system a small rounded notch at the top and you are able to mask it with a black bar if that’s your thing at 422 PPI content on the display looks pretty sharp you havethose deep blacks only Amal eyes canprovide and colors can be decently accurate

if you tweak them in settings maximum brightness is quite good too at 449 nits in manual mode and up to 600 35 minutes in auto mode in bright conditions legibility in the Sun is great we had no issues using the phone outdoors like most animal eyes you have the option for an always-on display to show you time and notifications while the phone sleeps there is no option for a notification LED though just like the P30 pro you can wake up and unlock the P30 with the under display fingerprint reader it’s really accurate and its speed is pretty impressive you can alsouse face unlock but it’s not quite as secure as your finger as far ashigh-tech features

the P30 is missing the pro versions under display acoustic earpiece for calls here is the traditional one up on the top bezel we are a bit disappointed that Huawei didn’t take the opportunity to use the air piece in a stereo speaker setup but the p20 didn’t have one either the single speaker is next to the USB C port its loudness is excellent and there’s no distortion at max volume the P30 has a 3.5 millimeter jack unlike the pro version so you don’t need to worry about using an adapter to plug in headphones volume wise it’s only above-average but it has better stereo separation than this bigger sibling our P30 has a hundred and twenty eight gigs of on-board storage

Specifications of the Huawei P30

there are options for 64 and 256 gigs depending on where you buy it it’s expandable via the hybrid dual SIM slots but you need to use one of Huawei’s proprietary NM cards which is kind of limiting the interface of the P30 is hallways emui 9.1 over android 9pi just like on the P30 pro version 9.1 brings a new ER ofs file system files can be read faster and operating system files take up less space as typical of emui all of your apps are kept on the home screen by default but you can opt to use an app drawer if you want swiping down on the home screen opens an app search bar and a swipe down from the top will get you the notification shade

swiping to the left opens a Google newsfeed and there is gesture navigation available which works just as smoothly as on hallways other recent devices unlike a pro version there’s no IR blaster on the P30 so you’ll have to find some other way to turn on your TV at the heart of the P30 is hallways top-tier karin 980 chipset along with the six or eight gigs of ram performance is awesome just like on the P30 pro though graphics power is just a little behind the snapdragon 855 regardless everything feels nice and fluid the P30 pro comes with GPU turbo 2.0 as well which optimizes performance and smooths out frame rates for a few supported games such as pop G at 3650 mAh

theP30s batteries have been smaller than the pro versions and unfortunately you don’t get the same exceptional battery life here it’s still good though the P30 earned an endurance rating of 83 hours in our proprietary tests about in the middle of what the competition offers you can top up the battery with a twenty two point five watt Huawei supercharge it isn’t 40 watts like on the P30 probut it’s still really impressive getting us from 0 to 65 percent in 30 minutes you don’t get support for wireless charging or reverse charging like you do on the pro model though bummer

the Huawei P30 has a triple camera setup instead of the quad cam we see the more expensive P30 pro here’s a 40 megapixel main camera a pixel telephoto cam and the 16 megapixel ultra wide camera all with like a branded lenses compared to the pro model the main cameras lens isn’t as bright @f 1.8 instead of f 1.6 and this one doesn’t have a is the telephoto camera is borrowed from the may 20 pro and doesn’t have a fancy periscope setup the ultra wide-angle camera is a bit different and there is no tof cam for depth sensing since the main 40 megapixel camera uses a quad Bayer filter the default output is 10 megapixels in daylight image quality is great practically identical to the P30 pro there’s plenty of detail pleasing colors wide dynamic range and nice rendition

Camera Features of the Huawei P30

you can opt to shoot in 40 megapixels though these shots aren’t necessarily packing more detail certain scenes do benefit from being shot in this mode and it varies so it may be worth playing around with now under the ultra wide-angle cam colors are a bit punchier than on the main cam and dynamic range isn’t quite as wide but perfectly acceptable though its field of view isn’t quite as wide as on the P30 pro we’d say that in good light the P30 Zulte relied cam is almost as good you can also use the ultra wide-angle cam to shoot in super macro mode which allows you to focus on objects that are extremely close if the subject is still and there’s plenty of light you can end up with some really nice results even though the telephoto camera can’t zoom as far as the periscope

one on the P30 pro it does a great job images come out sharp and detailed the dynamic range and contrast aren’t quite what you get on the main cam but you still get that nice color rendition the P30s main cam and telephoto work together in portrait mode how they interact depends on your zoomlevel regardless of the zoom portraits have excellent subject separation and very nice background blur in low-light we expected a bit lower quality from the P30s main camera compared to the pro version as it turns out there’s no need to worry low light shots are excellent

they’re well exposed with nicely preserved highlights loss of detail low noise and nice colors night mode is one of our favorite features on this camera you getbrighter night skies and livelier colors and some recovered detail in highlights and shadows compared to the main camera low-light shots with the ultra wide cam aren’t very good coming out soft and noisy night mode really helps the ultra wide Camelot giving you a brighter exposure and bringing the quality up from barely usable to pretty decent if you try to zoom in the dark the phone either does a digital crop or switchesto the telephoto cam depending on the level of light just like with the othercameras night mode does a good job in improving

these two for selfies the P30 has the same 32 megapixel front facing cameras the P30 pro which has fixed focus you have to make sure that the phone is the right distance away from your face in order to get the sharpest result and it’s not necessarily a full arms length it does a respectable job nonetheless there’s excellent dynamic range spot-on colors and plenty of detail the Huawei P30 can record video with any of its 3 cams and 4k at 30fps electronic stabilization is available on all cameras in all modes but you can’t disable it if you wanted to quality wise 4k footage from the main camera is quite the same as on the P30 pro

About the Huawei P30

there’s excellent dynamic range true to lifecolor rendition and great contrast resolve detail isn’t the best we’ve seen though and we wish the image was a bit sharper footage from the ultra wide cam is passable but not great dynamic range and detail at both lesson stellar video shot with the telephoto camera lets youget close to the action and offerreasonable quality as well while detail is again not spectacular there isn’t much competition out there that can offer three times optical zoom

so that’s the Huawei P30 you get aneye-catching design good battery life a gorgeous display cutting edge performance and a versatile triple camera but compared to the P30 pro you are missing quite a few things look that curved screen and waterproofing there’s no IR blaster or wireless charging here and you don’t get the in displayearpiece as far as the camera goes you don’t have oh is or a tof camera and just forget about a fancy periscope telephoto

but all of that said allof these things are more of a luxury than a necessity and definitely not a deal-breaker for most people and since you’re saving at least a (Rs.13,119) here the P30 is worthconsidering over the more expensive model even with this compromises this is one of the best flagships you can get right now and it definitely deserves our recommendation.
