Huawei P30 & P30 Pro Hands-On: The Best Smartphone Cameras You Can Get

Karamchand Rameshwar - Mar 27, 2019

Huawei P30 and P30 Pro are two new offerings from Huawei and both of them are equipped with the very best cameras you can get in the market.

Huawei has just unveiled the Huawei P30 and Huawei P30 Pro at an event in Paris. Similar to the last year’s Huawei P20 Pro, Huawei continues to see the camera as the most important feature on the P30 series and brings significant upgrades over its predecessor. In addition, the P30 also has some changes in the design as well. The two new handsets now say goodbye to the wide notch and welcome the new teardrop design.

These are the Huawei P30 (left) with a 6.1-inch screen and P30 Pro (right) with a 6.5-inch display.

The front of both devices is quite similar to the teardrop screen design. This can be considered an upgrade from the previous P20 wide-notched screen.

The Huawei P30 Pro's screen is curved on both sides like Samsung's high-end flagship lineups. The P30 only has a flat screen.

In addition, the P30 Pro's speaker earpiece is directly integrated under the screen, while the P30 still uses the traditional speaker grill.

This year, Huawei continues to bring its high-end product line with beautiful gradient colors. This is the "Breathing Crystal" color version that blends sky blue and milky white.

However, the most prominent feature on the back of the P30 and P30 Pro is the camera cluster. Huawei P30 is equipped with a triple camera setup, while P30 Pro packs quad rear cameras.

The multi-camera system of the Huawei P30 allows users to take photos at different focal points, from ultra-wide angle to 3X (P30) or 5X (P30 Pro) zooms. In particular, the P30 Pro is also equipped with periscope with a 10X hybrid zoom and digital zoom up to 50X.
