Third-party reviews

What we like about Huawei P30 Pro (4GB + 128GB)

  • Groundbreaking camera system with unmatched 5x optical zoom and exceptional low-light performance
  • Outstanding battery life, often lasting up to two days on a single charge
  • Incredibly fast 40W wired charging and support for wireless/reverse wireless charging
  • Beautiful, vibrant design with striking color gradient options like 'Breathing Crystal'
  • Fast and reliable in-display optical fingerprint scanner
  • High-quality, bright OLED display with minimal bezels and a small teardrop notch
  • Solid flagship performance that remains snappy for multitasking and gaming

What we don't like about Huawei P30 Pro (4GB + 128GB)

  • Uncertainty regarding long-term software updates and lack of official Google support on newer models
  • EMUI software skin is often viewed as cluttered and less refined than stock Android
  • Lack of a 3.5mm headphone jack and a disappointing mono speaker system
  • Screen resolution is limited to 1080p, which is lower than some competing flagship displays
  • Requires proprietary NM (Nano Memory) cards for storage expansion instead of standard MicroSD
  • The curved glass edges can lead to accidental touches and make the phone slippery
  • No 4K video recording at 60fps, a standard feature on many other contemporary flagships

Verdict

The Huawei P30 Pro (4GB RAM + 128GB storage configuration) is a premium smartphone powered by the HiSilicon Kirin 980 octa-core processor and a large 4,200mAh battery supporting 40W SuperCharge. Its standout feature is the Leica quad-camera system with a 40MP main sensor and an 8MP periscope telephoto lens, which delivers exceptional low-light performance and 5x optical zoom capabilities, setting a high bar in mobile photography. Additional pros include a vibrant 6.47-inch OLED display, IP68 water and dust resistance, and useful features like 15W wireless and reverse wireless charging. Potential drawbacks for some users include the lack of a 3.5mm headphone jack, a standard 60Hz display refresh rate, and some users experiencing occasional screen flickering or oversaturated colors in photos due to AI processing.
