Third-party reviews

Based on ratings from across the web.
Reviews last updated: August 2026 · How we calculate this

What we like about Huawei P30 (6GB + 128GB)

  • Stellar camera system with exceptional low-light performance
  • Includes a 3.5mm headphone jack, unlike many flagship rivals
  • Long-lasting battery life that can reliably last a full day of heavy use
  • Compact and lightweight design that is comfortable for single-handed use
  • Fast and accurate in-display fingerprint scanner
  • Vibrant and sharp OLED display with good color accuracy

What we don't like about Huawei P30 (6GB + 128GB)

  • Lacks support for 4K video recording at 60fps
  • No wireless charging support, which is reserved for the Pro model
  • Lower IP53 water resistance rating compared to the Pro's IP68
  • Software experience (EMUI) is often described as cluttered and less refined than competitors
  • Underwhelming audio quality from the single bottom-firing loudspeaker
  • Proprietary Nano Memory (NM) cards are required for storage expansion

Verdict

The Huawei P30 (6GB + 128GB) is a compact flagship smartphone powered by the HiSilicon Kirin 980 octa-core processor and features a 6.1-inch FHD+ OLED display with an in-screen fingerprint sensor. Its major pros include a highly capable Leica triple camera system (40MP main, 16MP ultra-wide, 8MP telephoto with 3x optical zoom) renowned for excellent low-light photography, a competitive 32MP selfie camera, solid all-day battery life from its 3,650mAh capacity, 22.5W fast wired charging support, and the inclusion of a 3.5mm headphone jack. Primary cons are the lack of wireless charging, an IP53 rating for only splash resistance (not full waterproofing), a 60Hz display refresh rate that is lower than some competitors, and a proprietary Nano Memory card slot for storage expansion instead of the more common microSD.
