Huawei P30 Pro New Edition

Huawei P30 Pro New Edition product description

The Huawei P30 Pro New Edition is actually a P30 Pro but with Android 10. By rebranding an 'old' phone Huawei bypasses the American boycot. Therefore this P30 Pro New Edition has Google services and apps such as Gmail, YouTube and the Play Store.

Comes with Google apps

We recommend it more often; to save money you can also buy a top model from last year. Huawei announced the P30 Pro New Edition in 2020 but actually it is a model from a year earlier. Technically there is nothing wrong with that. A 6.57 inch OLED screen with curved edges and SuperSensing Leica Quad Camera with 50x zoom are still very much up to date in 2020. So little has changed in terms of hardware. However, new colours have been added. The P30 Pro New Edition is available in 'Silver Frost', 'Aurora Blue' with its beautiful gradient and 'Midnight Black'.

Quad Camera with periscope

On the back of the P30 Pro New Edition we find a SuperSensing Quad Camera from Leica. That sounds impressive but it boils down to the following. In total there are four different cameras; a 40MP main camera, a 20MP camera with ultra-wide-angle lens, a Time of Flight depth camera and a zoom camera with periscope lens. The latter lies on its side in the device and can zoom 5x optically, 10x hybrid and 50x digitally. The sharpest results can be achieved by zooming in optically. This is done with lenses so you don't compromise on image quality. Hybrid combines the lenses with digital and with pure digital zooming the image is blown up and gives the least sharp result. Phones with periscope lenses are quite exceptional. They offer the best quality and most zoom in a compact housing. The other cameras are also impressive with excellent nite mode, accurate portrait mode and smart HDR software.

Contemporary performance

High performance is provided by the Kirin 980 processor. This is the world's first mobile processor based on 7 nanometres. The smaller the transistor, the faster and more energy efficient. In 2020, and even beyond, this processor promises to be powerful enough to deliver fast performance. So the P30 Pro New Edition is and will remain a flagship. There is 8 GB of RAM memory which is a lot and in terms of storage memory there is only 1 choice; 256 GB. Also spacious enough. Inside is a 4200 mAh battery with both a power saving mode, extra fast charging and wireless charging. Wireless can be up to 15 Watt and wired up to 40 Watt. In half an hour the battery is already 70% full. The P30 Pro New Edition can also charge products wirelessly. Wireless earplugs for example or even your electric toothbrush. Just by putting it on the back.
