Huawei Mate 30 Pro - User Reviews

  • iphone 11 or 11 pro? I'd recommend you buy iphone 11 pro. But if that is not your preference then I would go with Note 10+

  • Try all the phones out and see what you like. Iphone 11 for Great Camera and longterm support Huawei and Samsung are pretty much the same when it comes to software support. Great cameras but overexposed and too artificial imo. The Iphone is more natural. Dont listen on the Iphone hate. They did a great job.

  • thanks for the link, but how long this will work

  • LZPlay has dissapiered

  • Really? Lots of ppl said that it's a useless phone if you don't have Google apps. They said no point spending your money on this phone. Confused!!

  • I installed Google Play Store by following the instructions in this Youtube video...works without any problem.

  • Mate 30 pro or if u want google apss p30 pro not get note10 plud not whort and iph 11 is bulssht Sory for my bad englis im romanian

  • Hi, how to sideload Google play store?

  • Mate 30 pro is the best choice my man, trust me i did my homework (just sideload google play).

  • Waited for this phone for the longest time, only to be disappointed. I need my Google apps. 😭😭😭

  • If this phone had Google services, I would've bought it. Probably the biggest update from any phone line-up this year in terms of hardware.

  • Please help me Which one I buy? Samsung Galaxy Note 10 plus Huwaei mate 30 pro Huwaei p30 pro Iphone 11 Mu old phone is Samsung Galaxy note 8 Please advice me

  • Try lzplay app for installing gaaps

  • You threw your money in the trash

  • Virtual* volume button

  • Bought mate 30 pro And can’t solve the google apps issue I really don’t know what to do Any solution ?

  • This is the phone for me. Don't need 5G and finally no stinking Google spyware. My main reason to root was to get rid of that disgusting Google spyware. Better camera than my P30 Pro it looks like.

  • i saw so many and my choice is mate 30 pro but google somthin i need so much thanx

  • i knw but i need it now thanx for ur time i appreciate it

  • i have the same opinion but i need google u knw

  • Hardware wise mate 30 is better but the one ui on Samsung is pretty smooth on software side Mate 30 is a good phone but you can watch reviews on youtube and compare them It depends on your choice

  • miss volume button

  • If u are need a phone now, I'd say Samsung Note 10+ over Mate 30 Pro. But if u need one 1~4 months down the road, Mate 30 Pro 5G hands down. All other phones do not have 5G capability installed in them nor they just reach Gen 1 in 5G, this phone has already hit Gen 2.5. Though I'd like to say the downside of the Mate 30 Pro is the side commands. During playback, its not quite ez to consistently control the side volume button nor is it really well-responding to side-taps at time but that i believe can be patched in future updates. Now just wanna wait and see if Mate 30 Pro gets Google or not. If they do its a win but even if they don't, the venturing in the unknown is there but bright. I've personally tested a few of their stuffs and its quite on par with most common used apps, just that ppl need to get used to them.

  • You should buy mate 30 it uses 5g technology also the camera and the zoom is better but google software is not included

  • huawei need us programmer bro. the fact that we don't want to develop from them. we only want to develop apps and games for apple ios and google android.

  • huawei mate 30 pro or samsung note 10 plus which one i should buy?

  • If Huawei success to make there own OS that works as good as iOS and Android then I will try it myself. But don’t forget that Samsung make there own OS back in 2010 Bada OS that comes with wave phones and failed miserable.

  • This model can zoom until how many?

  • Actually you can choose either one of your choices and there is no problem weather which one you are going to choose the problem there is do you afford to buy either one of them? just sayin

  • Another nice to see but useless phone by Huawei

  • what do you think guys? there three options with a bit difference in costs. 1st- Samsung Galaxy Note 10/10 plus 2nd-Huawei P30/P30 pro / Mate30/30pro 3rd-I phone XS/11/11 pro which one would you recommend me guys in terms of usage and durability? Now I am using the Samsung Galaxy S9 and I want to upgrade for next 1 or 2 years. thanks advance

  • Huawei should have used it's own OS.

  • It will come, eventually. But needs 2 more years to become mature. -

  • Guess what? -

  • Hi, (New member) Can anyone tell me if the m-pen stylus would work on this and the 5G version or does it just work with the mate20X

  • They don’t have own OS aka Ark, harmony OS whatever that Huawei lie about it that doesn’t even designed for smartphones OS.

  • Yeah dead phone trying.

  • Thank bro. I know that mate is far better because of using various lenses and techniques in photography

  • - Mic audio quality are way better on Mate - Video recording way more natural & better on Mate (can do 60fps on all 3 sensor) - low lights capabilities better on Mate (dont even needs Night Mod) - slow-mo definitely better on Mate - dynamic range a bit better on Oneplus, but sometime looks to an unrealistic looks - front cam better on Oneplus - telephoto better quality on Mate, even on 5x digital zoom - while UWA wider on Oneplus, on Mate it is way way better quality, even on low lights - finally, details. I can 100% sure the bigger sensor & sharp Leica lens along with better RAW noise reduction are the most closest to DSLR (especially main + UWA) in Mate. U cant sees it on a Youtube video, but 100% crops photos will justify it.

  • Can anyone buy me this amazing phone?😍

  • Link doesn't work!

  • Oh,can't side download the Google apps,my huawei Mate 30 game over already.

  • Google blocked the Huawei Mate 30 series side download already after tech player report the back door on the OS.Totally is game over.

  • Huawei can't copy the references of android os, maybe they will release the new one which is the hong meng os

  • Huawei please have your own version of Android so you don't have to rely on Google

  • Without google play store it cannot be used in full capacity. Third party apps may not work properly as I have used Chinese version phone ,I don't know how it is modified. There are many Chinese apps that can be used if they at least globalize them by lunching them in English ,such as maps ,search engine ,calendar etc.

  • Well! you cant just say based on someone else's opinion. you have to try it yourself and see it. He might received a faulty unit cuz no other youtuber's reported that issue. Plus Keep in mind it's an pre update/security software, with time it will be all fixed. Its an amazing phone of 2019 😍

  • The phone is not worth $1000, maybe $650. It buggy and gimmicky. That's why it got 4.2 score.

  • You can search for "Mate 30 install GMS" on Google. It's pretty easy.

  • Search 'aptoide' in apkmirror.com.....from that apps, most of google apps are there. Update us if it works.

  • What is going on? Unable to install Youtube, Gmail, Google Play, Google Maps. Help pls.

  • Please add a profesional camera like nikon d850 in the camera test section

  • Pretty sure u need to turn on performance mode for its maximum performance

  • Apple is selling their phones very well notch or not while huawei can't have a play store. I wouldn't be concerned for apple, all the criticism they receive is actually good and healthy for them, they love it in fact. As for huawei, maybe the best they could do is simply get off china if they still can.

  • GSMA: Huawei news feed: BBC: Huawei News Feed: Reuters: Huawei news feed:

  • why you don't test the camera and cpu performance of this phone?

  • An amazing smartphone but Huawei should have used it's own OS.

  • Hey Friends, Huawei Mate 30 Pro.... have Dual View Video ; Wireless Print ; AR Measure are Available ????????????? Waiting for your Confirmation....

  • people be having double standards.....

  • Ok Guys, don't quote me wrong here. I'm a Huawei fun, and I love this Phone but I have a question. One of the things People have been blaming Apple for on its iPhone 11 line-up is having a Notch in 2019 and the 2 iPhone 11's being named Pro, and it seems like People are ok with it (Notch & Pro) here. Why is it ok with Huawei, but a huge mistake with Apple?

  • After much consideration I've decided not to buy it, because of the NM card, which means that I have to buy another wretched card reader and NM cards aren't cheap.

  • Hey Friends, I would like to Buy Huawei Mate 30 Pro. Waiting for your good Advise....

  • What's wrong with your Mate 10 Pro? My Mate 10 Pro is still running good. I am waiting for Mate 30 Pro to change.

  • Wow, Huawei has reduced the price to a very good price. Yes, it feels very good for those who want o buy one. But I know this is the cause of the U S ban. The absence of Google apps is what will cause the downfall of the this great phone. Not downfal as such but rather cause of low sales. Everyone who likes browsing uses Google. Huawei should try to make amends with the US government.

  • I think this is a good phone despite knowing that it doesn't come with google apps. The unique features it has is something worth buying.

  • Nokia 7.2 design is good and it will be obviously the round camera design was first made by Nokia in their lumia series. Nokia lumia 830 was a beautiful phone then this ugly design phone

  • When is video review for this device coming?

  • Best camera you can buy today picture and video are the best , special for low light picture! Every one should buy one for best picture and video !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Wow. It's very beautiful. The cameras placement is perfect. It looks professional. I love it

  • Mate 30 pro is 750 euros on the spec sheet.Really????

  • Sorry a mistake with 2 and 3 happened thanks for correcting me sometimes i write so fast i am tied to correct after my self.

  • Mate 20 pro were aôso a revolutionary device. When comes to inventions Huawei smasching all the competition like a Maus tank from a world of tanks series.

  • I'm the same. My impressions with Huawei with the Mate 10. They lied at the Press Conference, didn't put in all the features they promised yet did it with the P20 Pro instead. Software updates are still pathetic. Issues are still not being fixed. (Microphone problems occuring).

  • Maybe next Huawei can take Q's from Apple on how to support their phones. Same thing with Huawei. Nice looking phone - Bad Software and Support.

  • Check this out Apple, this how to make a beautiful phone by front and rear.

  • I have a Mate 10 Pro and I will be looking for other phones other than Huawei. I'm so fed up by my phone. It's personal preference but I don't want Huawei no more

  • This phone doesn't have stereo speakers, please correct it

  • The flashy ring around the camera module does make it looks like a hotel door card.

  • Clearly an illiterate who just runs his mouth without knowing anything. Why would iPhone need Playstore if they have an AppStore? Which has better security and optimization? HAHAHA Study first kid.

  • it is in no way the first phone with 3 cameras..the p20 pro has 3 and dropped in 2018

  • Mate 20 pro..

  • mate 30 pro really has nailed. great design with decent notch. battery, camera, chipset. Almost everything but the 3.5 jack. that one going to be pain in the a$$. I hope they sort things out with google. Otherwise many won't commit themselves.

  • you are kidding me.. you should know you can install Google play apps with a third party app by now.. I'm disappointed . you'd find the videos on YouTube that will teach you how to install Google play apps...

  • Well every Huawei flagship were a revolutionary in some way. Like P30 pro first cell phone with 3 cameras. Since then all copy. And i can continue forewer.

  • Well i run a phone shop here in Czechoslovakia with 40 tiny stores around the country selling just phones and accesorize like covers panzer glass chargers earphones cables etc. Only phone accesorize. And noone of my customers could say xiaomi is a bad brand. Some of them had bad luck indeed but same happened with other brands like Huawei or Samsung. When you have a bad luck even a fresh new top class device can fail. had Sony for 500 few years ago in just 2 weeks from buy went to reopair in 2 years the phone were in service centre more times than i was sick and ill in my life.

  • Yes definitely. They deserve to be at 1st coz right they are inventing new things :) ... This phone already broke records of being best in the market right now. I hope P40 Pro is even better than this. 😁

  • Wow.. nice. I love huawei

  • Is that even a word?

  • I would like to support Xiaomi - it is not from the slum called SZ - as it now claims shorter charging for the same battery life - this will help African consumers who live in places where there is little electricity - but it is an overheating liability.

  • Now, I understood why US banned this company.... If Can't beat it, ban it.. :-)

  • For many years samsung and apple has been the best. No days if you buy their phones you pay alot more then what they are worth especially apple. Huawei is the underdog here. A Chinese company creating flagships to match the best in the business. You can only judge huawei until you actually own one of their phones. I made the switch 2 years ago with a p10 and then mate 20 pro and have not looked back. They have the best cameras most features

  • Well it took themm like 10 years to become from unknown company number 1 phone brand. Samsung is still number 1 but onnly becazuse is available to buy in more contries othervise if we count used technology, developement and other aspects Huawei slammed and rammed all the competition like when you take an I7 soviet heavy tank to a car destruction derby.

  • Exactly definitely. When comes to best flagships Huawei is always first in line. And if we adds a price segment too then Xiaomi is second.

  • You are funny. my opinion is correct or prove i am wong. Feel free to educate me in terms of quality and benchmark score which phone is better than Mate 30 pro??? I dont think you will find any.

  • 7680 fps r u kidding 😀😀

  • Since there is an issue with Android this is big problem for potential users. Samsung will release S11 probably in February 2020 which hopefully will have similar or better specifications than Mate 30 but doubt it because they become also like Apple in Andoid world. Huawei Mate and P series when comes to camera hardware and software are way ahead of Sasmung, Apple and others. This Android ban will give others time to try and catch Huawei but hopefully Android ban will be lifted because than users will benefit.

  • That is a great suggestion. I assume we will see that soon :D

  • Great phone

  • It would be thicc

  • Why would anyone need 4 cameras on a phone. Its all cosmetics. Imagine if they filled that huge whole with just 1 big camera lens that worked like a professional camera.

  • Agree with you. I love this phone n its design. Huawei has become so popular in just short amount of time. 😍

  • iPhone speakers sound shit lol. FYI iPhone and Galaxy comes with best STREO speakers of any smartphone around.

  • lol sure mate.

  • one word: imperfect

  • Yeah since the camera design looks like washing machine door lol.

  • Paying almost $1000 to root your phone lol.

  • I use headphones because phonespeakers are never sounding good even Iphone speaker sounds shit

  • No google services on phone. I will be the first buyer! :))

  • The surprising mobile phone company has landed great series again. Very fantastic phone, very beautiful. They look so brilliantly beautiful at the back on YouTube. I just love the looks as I expected. They always do something new which is always amazing. Kudos Huawei.

  • Keep dreaming.

  • This is great and best performance but lack stereo speaker. This not perfect. I go to iPhone 11 pro max.

  • This phone is great and best performance but lack stereo speaker. It not perfect. I go to iPhone 11 pro max.

  • You talk of your own opinion, not everyone's....and you talk bs too

  • it has a bootloader so basically you can still install playstore,if you have the knowledge to do so

  • well,truth is that withiut google,youtube and anotherthouse apzz you dont and cant use it nothing. its not anymore so called samrtphone,its just phone. so quaestion si price, and it must be low,vry low i even think buy it.

  • Best phone of 2019 for sure. Having best camera best CPU best GPU 5G modem integrated with CPU and the best possible features. And for a good price. All other competitors left behind. In example of formula 1 race Hauwei Mate 30 is already in the finnish line where the others are not even half way.

  • Without Google services doesn’t worse shit.

  • The camera design hahah.

  • iPhone comes out of the box with there own OS aka IOS not android lol.

  • can't wait for the Mate 30 pro,with google or without google. iphone dont have an playstore so what.huawei have a app store where you can download your apps, you can still on the internet and google.what people dont understand is that. is just there will be no google apps like chome a what what, but the phone will still have internet where you can google on. my next upgrade.

  • Huawei's first Android 10 was the '6th September P30 Pro', where 'Mystic Blue' and 'Misty Lavander' were launched

  • Just install them

  • I like the functionality of notch this year. Some people not like the notch is because they does not know the great functionality of the existing notch. For me i prefer having a notch compare to having a pop up camera but of course there must have great function for the notch like the 3d face unlock for payment or unlock phone or hiding sensitive information. Only the thing i feel little disappointed is no 2k display. HDR10+ and 90hz display is still not useful due to current market only have very very limited apps are support that.

  • I am using Mate 10 Pro. Mate 30 Pro is very good for me even though it doesn't have google service, 3.5" jack, LED notification. I am waiting for it.

  • I can't use it without Google Apps

  • It's a very bad phone. It's like a washing machine. And there are no Google services iPhone 11 is better than 😂

  • i love this phone

  • Seem the Huawei Mate 30pro is the best phone so far but I prefer my p30 pro because it looks more unique that any other device..:.but still the idiot in the White House have to live soon if not no google for we using huawei and that is the only company that produce what I want..

  • The included adapter works fine. Good luck finding better value at this quality.

  • Best mobile in my life

  • yes , i think its First Android 10 Phone LOL :)))

  • Guys, please check youtube, there are people even installed full google services at the launching event and that just worked(installed youtube via play store etc). You need full package, not an apk. Not sure if I can paste the link of the video here.

  • No 3.5 Jack, Thanks NEXT

  • Yep, absolutely love my Mate 20 X. I doubt i could go back to a scren smaller then 7 inches but i won't get a phone with out foll google services. Hopefully that orangutan in the white house goes soon.

  • If you can't afford it people can afford stop noise

  • i dont think so.

  • Great specs, tough hardware. Unfortunately I personally can't live without Google services. Hopefully this trade war reaches an end without much losses for all.

  • Before it can be done that way bro., but now it’s a different situation altogether, now it involves legal issues. By chance you managed to outmaneuver all this legality things but the consequences are always there. The main one will be security issues. Just my ten cent opinion, good luck

  • It's really android 10?

  • Overpriced af. Even Iphone 11 and Note 10 sre better options

  • This time no same old mate series,this is new policy from US government.They will fully block it.Side download can't process also.

  • All guys need to know,if Hyawei mate 30 series (Global version) can't side download Google Apps, YouTube also...,how many people will buy in?That mean is fully banned and blocked from US government policy.

  • Huawei is money hungry 1099 euro for this knowing that it doesn't have google services lmao, is like trying to cover the sun with one finger, no offense but only stu*** people would buy this specially people does that don't have a life and nothing to loose;)

  • Have owned Huawei. Sure they have great hardware but their support is awful. They are very slow to fix issues or just ignore them all together. As time goes on their phone gets less and less support. Also degrading camera quality on older hardware as newer products come out. A Disgrace.

  • camera wise maybe but in term of software, nope

  • Is there a notification LED in the notch ? I hope there is. Because of the absence of a LED light in P30 Pro, I immediately sold it.

  • If you really have that phone you should create a YouTube channel based on its slow mo camera lol

  • Is the USF3.0 storage the reason why we see professional level slow-mo sensors in smartphones today?

  • Incredible cam but ugly notch and so expensive and i think if screen bigger was better for me, and very good battery too

  • Well however the design looks nice😘

  • "SOUND Loudspeaker Yes, with stereo speakers" Even GSMARENA's own hands-on review says the Mate 30 Pro doesn't have stereo speakers:

  • No stereo speaker. Damn shit.

  • This phone is dead before born.

  • Yes

  • its missing he is forget it/********+++++++ its a better than the i phone 11 pro max

  • Better than Note 10+?

  • no wifi 6 802.11ax

  • Hei guys don't worry if mate 30 pro doesn't have Google play, etc. You can download manually FYI i am buy mate 20 pro 8/256 in China and i bring to my country in South East Asia, working normally and all Google apps can be downloaded and also get updates And I will always using huawei because i experienced it myself this brand is amazing for making phone, cmon guys lets talk honest, if you have never used it, you probably don't know.

  • this device is pretty good but only one not good idea is missing google apps

  • I think that huawei could reduce the price of the Mate30 series.The price is so high,that i couldn't expect that.

  • Very old "Nokia" design from the back

  • It's not for phones. That will take another 5-10 years maybe

  • But most people won't know how to do it or will even want to do it. So good luck trying to sell a lot of them outside China

  • And no updates to Android until open source is updated

  • Yeah okay. Keep believing that and maybe someday it will be true lol

  • You can't have ANYTHING. Sideload youtube.apk and will say install google services. The word is out already. No google calendar, no google maps, no youtube, no online gaming. I will be surprised if anyone buys this junk.

  • What's up with screen resolution?

  • Yes the IR blaster thank you!

  • Is a nice phone I will love to be the first to use it

  • How did you know? the reason why most of all hongkong activist use iphones because they are afraid that their messages will be read and that's what happen to Hongkong right now so stop sprouting spyware free OS because that's a very big BS. If you think google has some issue with security (even it was built with millions of codes already), how sure are you that Huawei can come up with great security OS? If people in China will be given a choice then I bet that they preferred google that their in-house OS ,just like you who wants to get away from google.

  • I thought I misread the digits @ 720p video FPS. It sure is a super slowmo in a smartphone!

  • Yes

  • and then u cant play any games either as most games are synced with play store and google play games.. .so yea... lol good choice...

  • look ugly. wish they come up some design, especially for the camera area...

  • where do u live kid ? read more ,u can have everything on this phone

  • Not having google services is actually a good thing as there's nobody spying on your activities

  • No google support means 'google's apps' are not preinstalled, but you can side install them, here is the quote from CEO Yu: When asked about Google services, Yu replies that “There are also a lot of third-party apps and places where you can download any app”. Indirectly, he was saying that you could technically sideload Google services on the device, but for obvious reasons, Huawei can’t preinstall them.Users will still be able to download apps, but they just won’t officially come from the Play Store, but rather, from Huawei’s alternative App Gallery. “That’s not good for Google,” explains Yu. “…we’ve contributed a lot to many US companies.”

  • Camera design & placement very disappointed

  • No google support means 'google's apps' are not preinstalled, but you can side install them, here is the quote from CEO Yu: When asked about Google services, Yu replies that “There are also a lot of third-party apps and places where you can download any app”. Indirectly, he was saying that you could technically sideload Google services on the device, but for obvious reasons, Huawei can’t preinstall them.Users will still be able to download apps, but they just won’t officially come from the Play Store, but rather, from Huawei’s alternative App Gallery. “That’s not good for Google,” explains Yu. “…we’ve contributed a lot to many US companies.”

  • Maybe you don't get they use OS that allows you to use android apps, what more do you want... miracle OS?

  • So the Pro is smaller than the non-pro version this time. Interesting.

  • lol... unlock boatloader is gamerchanger. dont comment when u dont know how to install Google play... ignorant

  • If you haven't noticed they did launch Huawei mobile services. They already have their own OS too but they aren't using it.

  • Whats the point...? Without Google Play and all the Google products, this phone is useless. I thought Huawei will come up with their own OS and services to rival goofle... but this shows Huawei is slowly dieing

  • Huawei is drumming lots of things on figures, first this and that on the cameras, wide, ultra wide, zoom in, zoom out, 50x zoom and so forth, the fact is that they want to create feel good factor amongst the audience (and themselves actually), coz of no google apps, it will be rendered as baked phone especially in the west and other mostly English speaking countries.

  • Whats the point...? Without Google Play and all the Google products, this phone is useless. I thought Huawei will come up with their own OS and services to rival goofle... but this shows Huawei is slowly dieing. And the worst part is - all US had to do was lift a finger to kill a global smartphone giant.

  • Better continue to use your mate 20X. Don't want to downgrade the screen size, wait for the next gen honor note. Honor note will launch around 2020. Honor note series here we go!

  • Where you are bro

  • good phone, waiting for it...

  • Bruh who buys asus phones look at the iphone battery lol

  • no google... haiz.. maybe wont buy bcoz of tis..

  • Starting price of mate 30 pro is 1099 Euro!

  • Not enough resolution।.Didn't expected this from huawei.Look at mate 20 pro@very beautiful resolution.

  • Truth hurts

  • No audio jack???? Ill passs

  • My mate 10 pro is water resistant :l

  • No it's not the first. Mate 10 pro : IP 67. P20pro : IP67. Mate 20 Pro IP68. P30pro IP68

  • Android 10 without Google play service and full package Google Apps.Looked like China version smart devices in China mainland.If Huawei can't download Google Apps like YouTube, G-mail and others from out side, totally is die in global market.

  • the huwei phone is not like the other phone, the huawei mat 30 pro have a ultimat power save with 7nm cpu end more, you should learn this thing, the 4500mAh is enough.

  • Note only this year

  • This time very disappointing situation, sry Huawei mobile team. Though, you are trying to improve your hardware side, but without Google service, there is nothing demadable. Besides, you should put there 12 GB RAM in the base variant & include some more glossy colours like P 30/P 30 Pro series. I am waiting for this, to change my phone from P20 pro to Mate 30 Pro, but really disappointed !! 😐

  • Huawei keeps getting better. Hoping the price isn't off the roof

  • is there not going to be a mate30x i have the mate20x and i would not want to downsize in screen size when i upgrade

  • but a proffesional camera

  • they went from 5x to 3x optical zoom, awecome, what's next? no ultrawide?

  • Cons: 1. NM (NOT mSD Card!) = Bliahhhh / Disgusting!!!! 2. NO 3.5" Sound Port = Terrible!!! 3. NO Radio 4. EXTREMELY Expensive, can buy a Super-Powered Laptop for that money (1100 EUR) Pros: Everything else!!!

  • Where is the 2K display Huawei ?

  • No google services and No 12gb ram like phones 2019 and battery not big like asus 6000 or zte 5000 very disappointing huawei this year.

  • I'm waiting for Huawei to wake up and smell the coffee. They are wrong. They are tied in with the Chinese communist government. They got caught but will lie until the bitter end. ZTE got caught,admitted they fucked up,paid a fine and now are free to do business

  • finally water resistant phone by huawei 😅

  • Read what Android 10 changed. No Google Services? REALLY? Anyway I'm really surprised how things worked out. Lets now wait for Trump's descend from sanity and everyone in the world will be happy. =]

  • Huawei exceeded all expectations and surprised clients , while the others still turning around them selves

  • Huawei exceeded all expectations, and surprised customers, while other companies still turning around them selves

  • It's actually 18.4:9

  • I am the first.

  • Did Huawei just discontinued the successor of mate 20X??? Well, that's it! I'm going to wait for the successor of honor note (with M pen)! Very disappointing!

  • This is very impressive. Huawei breaks its own benchmark standards set by P30 pro in camera segment. Cannot even compare this with Apple 11 phones.

  • Nice camera setup but man, what a boring phone.

  • just apk g play by yourself. simple as that

  • Super 2019

  • Did somebody noticed it is 18.5/9 screen size? Not 19.5/9 like all others, even 21/9 sony Thats wider screen, more info displayed on it! Not tall one for reading simple articles with no photos. Well don Huawei!

  • R U fu..king kidding me? 7680 fps in 720p ? thats amazing

  • the sensor (40 MP, f/1.8, 18mm (ultrawide), 1/1.54") is great for the ultra-wide-angle camera, the move to 3:2 is great, I have been talking about it for a long time, wish it had the 24mm lens. ultra-wide is not my cup of tea. I expect a camera setup like this 24 MP, f/1.6, 24mm (wide), 4000:6000, 1/1.5", PDAF, Lazer AF, OIS 24 MP, f/1.8, 120mm (telephoto), 1/2", PDAF, Lazer AF, OIS, 5x optical zoom 24 MP, f/1.8, 16mm (ultrawide), 1/2" The screen seems a mess, I hate curvy screens, the waterfall is rubbish. on paper, it's a 9:18.37 which is a great ratio but practically its narrower. a 9:18 flat screen is more practical

  • overpriced chinese. 1100 eur for chinese phone

  • 720p@7680fps? Jesus Christ.

  • No Google Services = Dead in west side
