What if you could have it all: super-fast performance, marathon battery life, a bezel-starved screen, and a camera that competes with the Google Pixel on quality and pocket cameras on zoom? Huawei would have you believe that its new P30 Pro Android flagship is precisely that sort of no-compromise device. Announced at another gala event in Paris today, the P30 Pro addresses the few downsides of Huawei’s already excellent Mate 20 Pro from last year, and it adds a sophisticated new camera system that promises up to 10x lossless zoom. You won’t be able to buy it in a US carrier store, but this will still be one of the best-selling high-end devices across the globe this year. And probably one of the best.

Getting to grips with the P30 Pro is easy because it’s the same size, shape, and thickness as practically every other Android flagship phone on the market today. Putting this up alongside Samsung’s Galaxy S10 Plus, the handset Huawei hopes to outshine with the P30 Pro, the differences between them are minute. Huawei’s phone has a chin that’s about a millimeter thicker, and it features probably the world’s smallest notch to date, which is literally just a cutout for the camera. Huawei is omitting an earpiece on the P30 Pro, making innovative use of electromagnetic levitation to vibrate the top of the screen to generate call audio. That means there are no stereo speakers on this phone, and there are also more discreet phone calls because call sound will only propagate in one direction.

My two biggest gripes about the Mate 20 Pro were its curved screen edges and the inconsistent in-display fingerprint sensor. The P30 Pro still has curved glass on both the front and back, but it’s a much gentler slope, something a lot closer in form to Samsung’s latest Galaxy S devices. I’m a fan of this subtler curvature both on Samsung and on Huawei’s phones. It achieves the intended softening of the edges of the device and makes for a prettier, more cohesive design, but it doesn’t deprive me of useful screen space. Huawei also says that its new in-display fingerprint scanner, which remains optical (as opposed to pressure-sensitive alternatives like Samsung’s ultrasonic part), is 30 percent faster than the one on the Mate 20 Pro.

Before getting lost in all of the details about Huawei’s new quad-camera system, it’s worth quickly noting the salient specs of the P30 Pro. This new phone is built around the 7nm Kirin 980 processor that Huawei designs itself, which I really enjoyed in my time reviewing the Mate 20 Pro and the Honor View 20. It’s still a flagship-quality part, and it’ll remain so for the foreseeable future. Huawei will pair that with a typical 8GB of RAM and storage options from 128GB to 512GB.

The display is a 6.47-inch curved OLED panel with 2340 x 1080 resolution and a 19.5:9 aspect ratio. On the inside, there’s a massive 4,200mAh battery, which can be topped up to 70 percent full in 30 minutes using Huawei’s 40W SuperCharge wired charging. The P30 Pro also supports 15W wireless charging as well as reverse wireless charging. So yes, you’ll be able to charge your Samsung Galaxy Buds off the back of this phone, if you wish.

Huawei is today also launching a non-Pro P30, which scales the screen size down to 6.1 inches, has a smaller 3,650mAh battery, and accepts slower 22.5W charging. The P30 Pro is IP68-certified certified for dust and water resistance, whereas the P30 only extends to IP53. That may or may not be because the P30 still has a headphone jack and an earpiece, both items that the Pro model lacks. The smaller phone will also have a simpler three-camera setup, omitting the periscope zoom and the fourth, depth-detecting sensor.

The big deal with the P30 Pro is its new camera setup. Huawei’s breathless marketing will tell you that it’s “rewriting the rules” of mobile photography, and while I wouldn’t go quite that far, it really does look extremely promising. First, the subtle bit: Huawei’s built a new AI-driven HDR+ mode that creates an intelligent exposure map for the entire frame of a photo and then adjusts each section of the image. It will detect faces and landscape markers, such as grass or the sun, and treat each of them appropriately. This, along with some strikingly sharp and well-exposed sample photos I was able to shoot with the P30 Pro, gives me reason for optimism that Huawei has taken steps to bridge the gap between its cameras and Google’s supreme Pixel.

Part of what might explain the apparent improvement in image quality I noticed in my first try with the P30 Pro is the new RYYB SuperSpectrum main camera sensor. It’s still a 40-megapixel sensor that defaults to producing 10-megapixel shots by combining four pixels into one, but each pixel is now different. Huawei has replaced the RGB sub-pixel arrangement with one featuring red, blue, and yellow color sensors. And since the yellow sensors will absorb both red and green light, Huawei says this new arrangement soaks up 40 percent more light than RGB, which leads to better, cleaner photos. The SuperSpectrum part is on both the P30 Pro and the P30.

The reason for that big vertical slab of cameras on the back of the P30 Pro is, of course, this phone’s zoom capabilities. In order from top to bottom: you get an ultra wide angle lens for grand architecture or big group photos; the main camera, which is now augmented with optical image stabilization; and a new periscope zoom lens that offers 5x optical zoom. Huawei claims that, by combining the image data from the main camera and the telephoto lens, the P30 Pro can produce a 10x lossless zoom. That’ll be something to test in a review.

In my brief testing, I was most impressed with Huawei’s time-of-flight (ToF) camera and the way it enhances portrait mode on this phone. Using the depth information from the ToF sensor, Huawei is much more precise about identifying its subject and neatly separating the person from the background. But the novelty now is that Huawei is also gradating the simulated bokeh in its portrait mode: the bokeh will be less pronounced closer to the subject and increasingly softer and blurrier as you get further away from it. What that means is that you won’t get the 2D cutout effect with portrait photos. You can see a couple of the sample shots I took in the hands-on video above. The great thing about them is they were my first tries. This camera evidently makes it easy to take good photos, and that’s what every phone camera should aspire to.

On the video front, Huawei is promising to add a “Dual Video” recording function that will shoot simultaneous video from both the main and the telephoto sensor, combining them into a single widescreen side-by-side video. This will come as part of a future software update.

If I haven’t made it obvious yet, I’m excited for the Huawei P30 Pro. Huawei, despite its clashes with US regulators and a chronic inability to keep its new phones secret, keeps improving at a rate that few other smartphone manufacturers can match. Questions around Huawei’s EMUI user experience and that new fingerprint sensor remain to be answered, but in terms of pure engineering firepower, the P30 Pro gives you about as much performance as you can ask for today.

Huawei is pricing the P30 Pro at €999 with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, or €1,099 for the 8GB / 256GB configuration, or €1,249 for 8GB / 512GB. The P30 will cost €799 with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. Both phones are going on sale immediately, and the P30 Pro is available in a new blue gradient color variation called Breathing Crystal, along with a Pearl White, an iridescent red called Amber Sunrise, Huawei’s signature Aurora, and a basic Black.

There are times when the Huawei P30 Pro’s camera is so staggeringly good, it defies belief. I’ve questioned whether I’m mistaken, and what I’m seeing is an error, or that my eyes are playing tricks. Whether it’s taking a seemingly impossible photo in the dark, or zooming right in on a subject far away, the P30 Pro’s camera is a bit like being Superman.

That’s before talking about the P30 Pro’s battery, build, and design, all of which are of a very high standard. Excelling in several areas doesn’t make the P30 Pro the perfect smartphone though, and the camera sometimes falls frustratingly short elsewhere — but mostly because we demand a lot from it — and some will dislike the software.

Additionally, and you may already know this, but the P30 Pro is a phone you won’t be able to buy at a store if you live in the U.S., and more than ever before, you’re missing out on something very, very special indeed. How good is it? It deserves to be the benchmark against which all other cameras taking specialized photos should be judged.

The Huawei P30 Pro’s design is a blend of the P20 Pro and the Mate 20 Pro that came before it, and it benefits greatly from being kept in a case. The sides are less sharp than the Mate 20 Pro, but are still tapered enough that it’s noticeable in the palm. A transparent silicone case is included in the box, and we’ve kept it inside after a day or so, as it makes the phone more comfortable and less slippery to hold. Transparency is important, as Huawei has spent considerable time making two of its most stunning colors on a phone, yet.

At first, the glowing orange/red version — called “amber sunrise” — will be the one you want; but don’t dismiss the stupidly named “breathing crystal,” a stunning blue-to-silver, with shades of pink and green (an oyster shell-style gradient), which will become the connoisseurs choice. A black and an “aurora” (Huawei’s trademark blue hue) model are also available. All finishes are smooth, lustrous, and beautifully reflective. The amber sunrise model seems to attract fewer fingerprints than the more glossy breathing crystal version.

The P30 Pro weighs 192 grams, with a slight top-heavy bias, which is almost certainly caused by the additional camera technology. This leads us to one of the P30 Pro’s design flourishes —  The ends of the phone are flat, and yes with careful balancing, you can stand it up. It’s a little heavier than the Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus, but lighter than the OnePlus 7 Pro, the Oppo Reno 10x Zoom, and the iPhone XS Max. It’s slim too, and is very easy and comfortable to carry around in your pocket.

The notch in the screen is tiny and contains only the selfie camera. This is a major benefit over the Mate 20 Pro’s all-dominating notch, as you get more notification space along the top of the screen, at the expense of secure face unlocking hardware. The bezels are also tiny, and there’s no fingerprint sensor under the screen like the P20 Pro. It’s more modern-looking than its predecessor, and larger and heavier than the Mate 20 Pro. The camera bump on the back contains all three lenses, consolidating them into one rather than the messier array on the P20 Pro.

Examining the P30 Pro closely for the first time, it came across as a little faceless compared to the highly recognizable P20 Pro and Mate 20 Pro, both of which have individual styles. The design has grown on me since then, its simplicity coming as a shock after the challenging visual elements of its sibling phones, but it’s the colors that really give the P30 Pro its character. Choose the black version at your peril.

Created with Leica, the P30 Pro’s camera has three lenses: A 40-megapixel f/1.6 aperture lens, a 20-megapixel f/2.2 aperture lens, and an 8-megapixel f/3.4 aperture lens. These are paired with a time-of-flight sensor for depth sensing. The main and telephoto camera lenses have optical image stabilization (OIS), and Huawei’s own artificial intelligence stabilization system called AIS. The camera has two main, special features — a periscope zoom feature, and an ability to take bright low-light images.

There are creative opportunities galore here. There are so many modes and different things to try — you won’t get bored with using the P30 Pro’s camera. From monochrome mode and an A.I.-assisted background blur in videos, to the color splash filter (where one color is isolated against a black and white image) and the highly effective Aperture bokeh mode, it’s a smorgasbord of camera fun.

Let’s talk about the zoom first. Remember being impressed by what a 2x zoom on a phone could do? The P30 Pro is even more transformative, because 5x zoom gets you much closer than you expect to a subject. The amazing thing is, there’s no obvious loss of quality. It proves you really can take stunning, sharp, handheld, zoomed-in photos using a phone. The 5x zoom is, by far, the most unique and creatively exciting camera feature on any current smartphone.

It’s when you combine the zoom capability with the wide-angle lens that the P30 Pro’s flexibility becomes clear. The 0.6x wide shot can be zoomed right in to 50x, meaning the P30 Pro takes care of almost every shot you’d ever want to take with a smartphone, even before you add Night mode, Super Macro, or monochrome modes.

You may be surprised to learn Night mode has become almost superfluous, after being such arevelation on the P20 Pro. The P30 Pro’s low-light ability is so immense, it doesn’t need it. In the images above, only the boat on the water in Taipei was taken with Night mode, as there are times the photos taken with Night mode are less accurate than those taken without it. It’s so capable, that atmosphere can get lost, and skies can get too grey. Take low-light shots without it, and some of the atmosphere is retained.

There is almost no low-light scenario where the P30 Pro doesn’t “see” more than any other smartphone camera out there, and that includes the Google Pixel 3’s Night Sight. The low-light images have detail, color accuracy, depth, and realism. It’s not just getting by in low light, it’s dominating the environment.

Super Macro mode is an A.I.-enhanced feature. It activates when it thinks you want to take a close-up shot, or it can be selected from the More menu. It can struggle to focus correctly, and it will sometimes activate when you don’t want it to, but equally, it can take some excellent close-up shots. Monochrome mode on the P30 Pro is a Leica-tuned filter, and not true black and white like on the P20 Pro.

The camera app switches quickly between lenses and zoom stages too, with only a slight pause for refocusing. However, go beyond 10x by accident, and it’s a pain to quickly return to normal zoom, with the risk of missing your shot. It’s not really a one-hand operation either. As the features on Huawei’s camera increased, so did the complexity of the app. It’s logical enough, but you have to hold the phone like a camera — with two hands — to use it effectively. The P30 Pro is definitely a phone that thinks it’s a camera.

Software updates since the P30 Pro’s release have improved early problems with exposure levels, sharpness, and color accuracy, but they do still occur, especially when using the zoom or wide-angle mode. We recently compared the P30 Pro to the Oppo Reno 10x Zoom’s similar camera, which emphasized the Huawei phone’s superior ability. Updates have also added a new Dual View camera mode, where one side of the screen shows a wide-angle view, and the other shows a zoom mode. It works well, but we’re not sure how often it’ll be used, and it does come across like a gimmick, much like Nokia’s Bothie mode.

Months after the P30 Pro’s release, it’s the almost-perfect, all-round smartphone camera winner, perhaps only matched by the Google Pixel 3 XL, which it beats when it comes to features. When the P30 Pro gets it right, it does so in a way that’s impossible on another phone and ends up being so superb you forgive its slight shortcomings.

The P30 Pro’s OLED, 2,340 x 1,080 pixel resolution screen is great. It shows a world where colors are striking, shadows are deep, and whites crisper than newly-laundered bedsheets. It’s so bright I rarely wanted to keep it at maximum brightness, as it’s so searing you’ll need sunglasses.

The stunning technicolor glory — best visualized when playing hyper-real music videos like Apink’s Eung Eung, and Izone’s Violetta, and Star Trek Discovery on Netflix — comes at the expense of realism. It can wash out easily, and skin tones aren’t as good as other OLEDs, including the iPhone XS Max. However, if you don’t mind experimenting, Huawei gives you control over the screen’s look. Dig into the menu and you can alter the color mode, temperature, and enable a reading mode too.

Screen performance is only one side of the experience, and happily the audio side doesn’t disappoint either. There’s no headphone jack on the P30 Pro, so you have to use Bluetooth or USB Type-C headphones. During our review, we’ve used both Samsung’s Galaxy Buds and Razer’s Hammerhead USB Type-C headphones — stereo separation is excellent, there’s a strong bass response, and the Dolby Atmos tweaks make a difference when using wired headsets.

The internal speaker exits through a grill on the bottom of the phone, and through the USB Type-C charging port. It’s louder and clearer than the one fitted to the Mate 20 Pro, but not as high quality as phones such as the iPhone XS Max and the LG G7. It’s fine for spoken word though.

Huawei has replaced the standard voice call speaker with an in-display version. It goes on about something called, “electromagnetic levitation,” which is meaningless waffle. It should just say an in-screen speaker that works just as well as a normal speaker, because it’s great. When you make a call you don’t have to be very precise with ear placement, and moving the phone around normally didn’t stop us hearing the caller. Volume drops happened if you moved your ear far down the screen, but this wouldn’t happen naturally. It’s solid new technology that works well.

Huawei hasn’t changed the formula over the Mate 20 Pro much for the P30 Pro. It has the same Kirin 980 processor and a choice of 6GB or 8GB of RAM. Our review amber sunrise model has 8GB of RAM. At no time has it struggled or slowed down. It’s a powerhouse: Smooth, fast, and polished.

There are some naysayers regarding Huawei’s EMUI interface — it’s version 9.1 here, over Android 9 Pie with the March 2019 security patch — but for the most part, these people are mistaken.

It’s not perfect, but then neither is Android in general. Want software that has an all-over consistent and linear design? Buy an iPhone, and don’t complain about its lack of customization potential ever again. If there is a problem with EMUI, it’s the look compared to Android on the Pixel, and some may not like the overly stylized icon design.

EMUI needs some tweaking, but it’s just as manageable on a daily basis as any other third-party Android user interface. Version 9.1 seems to be more stable than 9.0 on the Mate 20 Pro, plus the notifications have improved too. They now reliably show on the lock screen when you switch the option on, for example.

These scores put it above the Mate 20 Pro — which has the same Kirin 980 chip — but behind Snapdragon 855-powered devices including the Galaxy S10 Plus and the Xiaomi Mi 9. Benchmarks aren’t everything, but it’s interesting to see how it compares to the competition here.

There are still too many apps installed we never use, from Huawei’s own browser and the hateful SwiftKey keyboard, to a mirror app, a calendar, and more. Some are good, such as Huawei’s music player and the voice recorder app, which is considerably better than the iPhone’s for example, with fast scrubbing to listen and re-listen to sections of voice recordings. The music player’s great too, with a handy timer to shut the player off after a set time. While there is a system cleaner app, it’s no longer intrusive and doesn’t deliver annoying notifications; Huawei’s own digital wellbeing app is also helpful and customizable, and it tracks your steps automatically using the phone’s accelerometer.

Huawei said the P30 Pro will receive an update to Android Q in the future, despite the issues surrounding the company’s presence on the U.S.’s Entity list. At the time of writing (July 2019) my review P30 Pro has Android version 9.1 with the June 5 Android security update installed, and EMUI 9.1.

Uh oh, the P30 Pro has an in-display fingerprint sensor. I turned the one on the Mate 20 Pro off because it was so frustratingly unreliable, and lived with the face unlock. It’s with great pleasure I can say the updated sensor and software on the P30 Pro is a vast improvement.

It’s lower down on the screen, which does make it easier to locate, and is consistently reliable. When it does fail to read my print, it’s because I wasn’t pressing in the right place, rather than it being rubbish. There is face unlock, but it’s not secure. It is, however, faster and more reliable than the Mate 20 Pro’s face unlock.

The battery has a capacity of 4,200mAh, the same as the Mate 20 Pro, with the same 40W wired fast-charging system, and 15W wireless charging too. Battery life is truly excellent, easily beating out the competition, and removing all battery anxiety from your life. Nearly five months in, 24 hours of solid, heavy use is easily achievable while using airplane mode overnight will see it last two days in my experience, as will moderate use.

EMUI has some battery saving measures to stretch any remaining amount out if you really need it, but I’ve simply never had the need to activate them. In our YouTube video benchmark test, I played a 1080p video on the P30 Pro with brightness at the max, and it managed to last a whopping 16 hours and 4 minutes. That puts every other phone to shame and is a massive selling point for the P30 Pro.

The Huawei P30 Pro is not officially available in North America. It’s available in the U.K. through Huawei, online retailers, and most major networks, and throughout the rest of the world including Canada too. There are three versions: A 1,000 euro ($1,125) 8GB/128GB version, a 1,100 euro ($1,235) 8GB/256GB version, and a 1,250 euro ($1,405) 8GB/256GB version.

Heightened media attention regarding Huawei and its presence on the U.S. Entity List may have caused some to question if buying a Huawei phone is a good idea. Huawei insists it’s business as usual at the company, and has announced several times that all warranties are operational, and software security updates will arrive too. The P30 Pro is also on Huawei’s list to receive the Android Q update.

There is almost no photo you’ll want to take with a smartphone that the fabulous P30 Pro won’t be able to shoot, and when it does, it’ll likely deliver astonishing results. The camera’s supreme flexibility is matched by long battery life, strong performance, and the choice of some gorgeous colors schemes.

Yes. The P30 Pro stands alone when it comes to the periscope zoom; but great camera phones are not a rarity these days. The $1,000 Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus, the $800 Pixel 3, and the $1,100 iPhone XS Max are all worthy of attention, and have very capable cameras. The $750 OnePlus 7 Pro is a great alternative, with the best camera OnePlus has put on a phone, plus a really beautiful screen.

The second half of 2019 will bring an exciting selection of phones to take on the P30 Pro. In the near future look out for the Samsung Galaxy Note 10, the next iPhone, and the Pixel 4, plus Huawei’s own Mate 30 Pro.

The Huawei P30 Pro has an IP68 water resistance rating, so is reasonably resilient to the wet stuff, but the glass body is definitely a smash risk, so a case is advisable. The camera is cutting-edge, the processor is the latest from Huawei, and there is plenty of internal storage space. The hybrid SIM tray takes two SIMs, or a single SIM and one of Huawei’s own proprietary storage cards. There is no reason the phone will not remain capable and high performing for three to four years at least.

Yes. The periscope zoom and incredible low-light performance makes it almost unique among top camera smartphones today, and are serious, genuine reasons to buy the P30 Pro. The battery life is also superb, and the additional list of features — from the capable in-display fingerprint sensor to the sleek design — cement the P30 Pro’s place as one of the most desirable smartphones released in 2019 so far.

The slight caveat to the glowing recommendation is that the future of Huawei and Google’s partnership is still not clear. Huawei assures us the situation is under control, and that updates and services will continue; but a resolution has not been reached with the U.S. government at the time of writing. The temporary reprieve will end on August 19, and more will be known at that time. Even if this date passes with no solution in place, the P30 Pro will continue working, along with Google Play and all your apps, regardless.

Updated on July 29, 2019: Added in further comments on the camera and its new modes, further battery details, and information on the ongoing Huawei situation. Several new night and lowlight images added.

The P30 Pro, Huawei"s brand new high-end Android smartphone, comes with a whole bunch of innovative imaging features but to many users the most exciting one will arguably be the new device"s innovative zoom system.

The P30 Pro offers a 125mm equivalent periscope-style tele lens and uses image fusion and other computational methods for seamless zooming between the 16mm equivalent focal length of the camera"s super-wide-angle module, the 27mm primary module and the tele.

At the long end reach is extended to an approximately 250mm equivalent focal length using a super resolution algorithm that stacks several frames for increased detail capture. The camera apps even allows for a maximum 50x zoom factor but it"s probably best to limit yourself to 10x for usable results.

We"ve had a few days to try the P30 Pro"s zoom since the device was launched and are so far seriously impressed. By managing to pack an extremely useful zoom range into the thin body of a high-end smartphone the new Huawei is bound to make an important impact on mobile photography and the smartphone market alike.

At the long end reach is extended to an approximately 250mm equivalent focal length using a super resolution algorithm that stacks several frames for increased detail capture.

Overall, the camera does very well though, considering these samples were captured on a very gloomy afternoon. The exposure system deals especially well with the bright over cast sky, capturing good detail in the clouds without underexposing the landscape elements of the scene. Below are comparison images showing the difference in quality between the P20 Pro and P30 Pro (the P20 Pro didn"t offer a super-wide camera, so there"s only a P30 Pro photograph for that image).

Even the 10x setting, which combines the image capture of the tele lens with the effects of a super-resolution algorithm is capable of producing usable results. Some years ago most of us would have been happy with this kind of image out of a travel compact camera. Now you can get it from your smartphone camera, along with all the other useful functions of a high-end device.

Thanks to very efficient optical image stabilization and excellent image processing the tele camera still performs well in dim conditions, allowing to zoom into some architectural detail in this night shot.

Only in very dim light does the camera give up, producing severely underexposed images at the 10x zoom setting. At 5x, when no frame stacking is required, it can shoot for longer in low light, however.

Shooting with the tele lens that offers more than 2x or 3x magnification is an entirely new experience on a smartphone. The zoomed-in scenes look great on the P30 Pro"s large OLED display and a very efficient combination of electronic and optical image stabilization ensures easy hand-held framing at all focal lengths.

Overall, it"s fair to say that in terms of zoom performance Huawei is currently light years ahead of the smartphone competition, and for me that"s a good enough reason to make the P30 Pro my go-to device for the foreseeable future — a least until other brands can follow suit and make similar zoom technologies available in their devices.

That said, it would be unfair to reduce the P30 Pro to its zoom system. It"s a high-end smartphone with an excellent all-around camera that shines especially in low light (as long as you stick to the primary module). You can find a wide range of samples across focal lengths and light conditions in the gallery below. For more information on specs and technologies please read our original P30 Pro news story and closer-look article.

We make the originals available for private users to download to their own machines for personal examination or printing (in conjunction with this review), we do so in good faith, please don"t abuse it.

The Huawei P30 Pro screen looks quite bright and our display test confirms it. When set on Auto, the screen pumps out 605 nits of brightness, while the maximum manual brightness you can achieve with the scrubber in settings is 570 nits - not a chart-topper, but nevertheless an impressive one for an OLED screen.

The average deltaE we measured for the screen (against DCI-P3) on Vivid is 3.5 with a maximum deviation of 7.7, which is not the best accuracy, but still a very good one. You can fix the bluish whites by switching to Warm color temperature, but the overall accuracy won"t improve notably.

The Huawei P30 Pro is powered by a large 4,200 mAh battery - the same capacity as the Mate 20 Pro. It also employs Huawei"s newest version of SuperCharge that goes up to 40W. The charger is rated 5V/2A, 9V/2A, or 10V/4A.

Unlike the regular SuperCharge, this one uses higher voltage and the battery does heat up. Huawei says the battery was TUV-certified for safety so you don"t have to worry about that.

The P30 Pro also supports up to 15W of wireless charging, and even reverse wireless charging. The latter means you can use the back of the P30 Pro to wirelessly charge smart accessories, or even phones, when needed. If you want to use the reverse wireless charging, you need to enable it from the Battery Settings, it"s not an always-on thing.

In our testing, the P30 Pro lasted upwards of 20 hours looping videos and north of fourteen hours running our web browsing script. The 3G voice call test returned a 27h+ talk time. The overall Endurance rating ended up 100 hours thanks to the excellent battery scores and some additional improvements in standby performance compared to the P20 Pro and Mate 20 Pro.

Our battery tests were automated thanks to SmartViser, using its viSer App. The endurance rating above denotes how long a single battery charge will last you if you use the Huawei P30 Pro for an hour each of telephony, web browsing, and video playback daily. We"ve established this usage pattern so that our battery results are comparable across devices in the most common day-to-day tasks. The battery testing procedure is described in detail in case you"re interested in the nitty-gritty. You can check out our complete battery test table, where you can see how all of the smartphones we"ve tested will compare under your own typical use.

Huawei P30 Pro, unlike the P20 Pro and Mate 20 Pro, lacks stereo speakers. Previously, the earpiece doubled as a second speaker, but with the new acoustic screen technology this is impossible.

In our tests the P30 Pro turned out to be quite loud indeed and scored an Excellent mark in our test, but that"s not much louder than what we"ve seen on the Mate 20 and P20 phones.

We played the same music on the P20 Pro and P30 Pro and the P30 speaker does sound better as the sound is richer and crisper. It"s certainly among the better ones on a smartphone these days. We compared the Mate 20 Pro and P30 Pro, too, and we found the output to be identical.

Use the Playback controls to listen to the phone sample recordings (best use headphones). We measure the average loudness of the speakers in LUFS. A lower absolute value means a louder sound. A look at the frequency response chart will tell you how far off the ideal "0db" flat line is the reproduction of the bass, treble, and mid frequencies. You can add more phones to compare how they differ. The scores and ratings are not comparable with our older loudspeaker test. Learn more about how we test here.

Huawei P30 Pro did alright in the first part of our audio quality test, posting excellent scores top to bottom. However its loudness was just above average and behind most of its direct rivals.

Mind you, we tested the P30 Pro with a passive USB-C to 3.5mm adapter we had from the P20 Pro, since there wasn’t one supplied in the box. Given that Huawei isn’t including it in the retail package, you can purchase a different adapter and if it happens to be an active one, you will get different performance.TestFrequency
