Huawei P30

The Huawei P30 gets an upgraded screen, in the form of a 6.1-inch AMOLED panel (most probably made by China’s BOE Display), compared to its predecessor. The screen has Full HD+ resolution and features a much smaller notch, in the shape of a waterdrop. The AMOLED screen is also certified for HDR playback and has DCI-P3 color gamut. The Huawei P30 has a body that’s made out of metal and covered with Gorilla Glass. The phone is IP68 certified for dust and water resistance. One more feature that media junkies will like is its stereo speaker setup.

The triple-camera setup from the Huawei P20 Pro and the Huawei Mate 20 Pro has been carried over to the Huawei P30. It gets an additional camera sensor compared to the Huawei P20. The triple-camera setup, placed vertically at the phone’s rear, consists of a 40MP (1/7-inch RGB) sensor with PDAF, laser autofocus, f/1.8 aperture, and a 27mm wide-angle lens. The 20MP ultra-wide RGB sensor has PDAF, laser autofocus, f/2.2 aperture, and 16mm ultra-wide-angle lens. The 8MP sensor has PDAF, laser autofocus, 80mm telephoto lens (5x optical zoom), and OIS. All the sensors are capable of recording up to 4K 30fps videos. The Huawei P30’s selfie camera uses a 24MP sensor with a wide-angle lens, fixed focal length and 1080p video recording.

The HiSilicon Kirin 980 chipset, which is fabricated using the 7nm FinFET process, is used in the Huawei P30. The chipset features four ARM Cortex-A76 CPU cores, four ARM Cortex-A55 CPU cores, the ARM Mali-G76MP10 GPU, dual-core NPU, and the latest wired as well as wireless connectivity features. The chipset is paired with 8GB of LP-DDR4X RAM and 128GB of UFS internal storage. The phone is also compatible with Nano Memory cards for further storage expansion. Connectivity features include GPS, A-GPS, GLONASS, GALILEO, 4G LTE, VoLTE, 2.4GHz and 5GHz Wi-Fi a/g/b/n/ac, Wi-Fi Direct, Bluetooth 5.0 (with LE, aptX, aptX LL, and aptX HD), NFC, and a USB 3.1 Type-C port.

The Huawei P30 comes with a relatively higher capacity battery compared to the Huawei P20. It has a 4000mAh battery which can be fast-charged using the USB-C port at 22.5W (via Huawei’s Super Charge mechanism). The phone also features Qi wireless charging (at 15W) as well as reverse Qi wireless charging, similar to the Huawei Mate 20 Pro.
