What customers don't like about Huawei Mate 30 RS Porsche Design (12GB + 256GB)

  • Lack of pre-installed Google Mobile Services (Play Store, Maps, YouTube) due to US trade restrictions
  • Extremely high luxury price point, often exceeding €2,000 at launch
  • Absence of physical volume buttons, replaced by sometimes finicky touch-sensitive screen edges

  • Proprietary Nano Memory (NM) card slot for expansion instead of standard microSD
  • Fragile glass and leather build requires careful handling and protection

Verdict

The Porsche Design Huawei Mate 30 RS is a high-end luxury smartphone released in November 2019, featuring a distinctive handcrafted leather and glass back design with a premium aluminum frame. Key technical specifications include a 6.53-inch OLED display (1176 x 2400 pixels) with Gorilla Glass 6 protection, the powerful HiSilicon Kirin 990 5G chipset, a substantial 12GB of RAM, and 512GB of internal storage (expandable via Nano Memory). A major pro is its versatile Leica-branded quad-camera system, including a 40MP wide, 40MP ultrawide, and 8MP telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom, which delivers impressive photo quality and advanced video features like 7680fps super slow-motion. The device also boasts a large 4,500mAh battery with rapid 40W wired and 27W wireless charging support, an in-display fingerprint sensor, and IP68 dust and water resistance. The primary con is its exceptionally high price point due to its luxury positioning, and significantly, it was launched without pre-installed Google Play Services due to U.S. trade restrictions, which limits app functionality for many users.
