Huawei P30 Pro hands-on: a photographic powerhouse
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 жов 2024
- The Huawei P30 Pro flagship has a huge battery, absentee bezels, and a promising new quad-camera system. It will compete against Samsung’s Galaxy S10 series for supremacy in the high-end Android smartphone market across Europe and Asia. Huawei is also launching a non-Pro P30, which scales the screen size down to 6.1 inches, has a smaller 3,650mAh battery, and accepts slower 22.5W charging, as well as the Huawei FreeLace earphones.

What features are you excited about with the P30 Pro?
Don't know, but what I don't like is the water droplet notch. I've tried that notch, and it's very unattractive
Zooooooooom 👀
camera looks amazing. Looking forward a review
probably better than iPhone’s notch design?
Software is the integral most important aspect
How to know an embargo just ended.... 30 channels post a Huawei P30 video at the same exact time.
Like a deluge!
Those embargoes are such a strange thing. And media companies respecting them are even stranger. To have information and to sit on it because a corporate overkords told them too? If all or most media simply ignored those, they would cease to exist.
@@KeepCalmAndTravelOn It gives companies the possibility to give devices to reviewers while retaining control over the timing. Otherwise, Huawei (or whoever) would just give out phones after the embargo and then it would be a race which channel puts the video out first. It would then be later for us and probably lead to lower quality.
The reviews must have been channeled through the intelligence services first!!!! 🤣🤣
@@KeepCalmAndTravelOn these are not breaking news but consumer product unveilings. If a media break embargo repeatedly then they'll just get banned and not get access next time. I agree phone brands should be more selective and maybe have waves of embargo instead of like 100 media at once, however.
One of the few videos of The Verge where the Host is not cocky or toxic. Thanks!
I agree
Really, cocky or toxic? How?
@@glenncanning8189 you must haven't seen much Verge videos yet
AGREED
@glenn canning go watch the s10 review u will know what is he talking about

Most detailed first impression i have seen in a while
Good job Verge.
This host feels very different than all those verge hosts. Much much better.
Harsh Vaghela agree
I was just at local Samsung local store pondering on which S10+ color to replace my P20 pro, went home, opening UA-cam and this came. Huawei: take my money already!!
Congratulations on your new phone.
You won't be disappointed
May I ask why would you choose this over S10
@@jeffreychan268 updates are frequent on Huawei compared to Samshung.
@@jeffreychan268 to check Galaxy on the phone
Massive update from my P20 Pro in every way its better.
Drop notch is the best notch
Agree
no notch is the best notch/
@@pecoliky8793 No front camera is best notch.
No notch is the best notch, for example oppo find X 、vivo nex and xiaomi mix3. It from china.
@@markbin1977 it has a moving notch tho. No moving parts.. I don't think the moving parts in phones route is really a good idea.

Huawei is really good at photography.
Not the huawei but the leica
@@aripbudiman1437 Leica is just a branding partnership.
@@NewAb22 yess i know,so?
I wish Vlad would review everything.
A great competitor for S10, probably better in terms of camera.
@Galva Tron TBH I don't shoot that much video anyway. That periscope camera looks promising.
Obviously different release dates but away from Samsung/Amazon et al, you could pickup either S10/+ for a lot less than the P30 Pro. It'll be interesting to see whether they've been aggressive enough in terms of pricing given the little difference between the S10 and S10+.
@@milpatel83 specially to push the competition to come up with something new.
@Galva Tron Video is better than the S10+ too.
@@milpatel83 Nope P30 Pro is much cheaper than the S10+ here in Canada, $100 cheaper than even the Mate 20 Pro P30 is cheaper than S10 too it's a no brainer.
Amazing phone and my first Huawei as I originally wanted the P20 Pro. Breathing Crystal finish is a beautiful colour and the camera is ace.
Huawei: You guys good down there 😂
Samsung : 🙄
Apple : 🙄😡
the way of your speaking is charming. the revealing of its details makes me convinced of p30 series' high-end quality.
thank you. 谢谢。
Camera hole looks way more symetrical especialy with white theme/wallpaper
You are the best reviewer from the Verge.
Its not just depth detection , its "Time Of Flight",for ar purposes also
I wish Huawei can added Harmon Kardon for sound speakers like they do for their tablet lines.
Azam Edwards Unfortunately Samsung bought Harmon Kardon, your dream is unlikely to come true.
But can it take celestial pictures? I want a phone that can take clear pictures of the moon, the constellations, etc.
Long exposure shots can do that
If you rewatch the keynote there are many instances shown that display the incredible night capabilities of the phone.
Shaiba aa explain yourself, how is it possible?
Yeah upto mars hahhaha
Dude they literally showed you can take star shots and moon shots on the reveal event, Huawei ceo showed a bunch of nightsky shots
GIVE VLAD A RAISE
Vlad deserves a bloody good raise
It's Soooo AMAZING PHONE 😱😱😍 And The FREELACE So damn Stunning whatt. 👐😱
P30 Pro, Galaxy 10e, they finally start getting it. Good phone.
I like the shade of color of this than the S10, it's like that color on the S10 but more saturated
Dear Verge, please watch Mr. Mobile and MKBHD reviews. Production quality is barely C+ compared to them. Good luck. A true fan.
But here you got loads more info than with MKBHD
You guys are the best, I just love the way you shoot videos .
Huawei listens and understands what consumers demand and responds accordingly.
This already great host is getting even better
Nice work verge
That is what we call innovation! Freelace and the camera are breathtaking design!
The ear phones are cool
Take notes, Nokia.
That was the most mellow "hey" I've heard today
Looks great but I just can't afford, perhaps now is a good time to pick up a P20 pro on sale ?
Is it worth the upgrade over the Mate 20 pro
Huawei Freelace, does this mean you can charge it two ways, via the phone and through any usb-c to usb-a with powerbrick? How awesome!
Well well well. Cameras on smartphones just got a whole lot better.
Now this type of content is very, very, much appreciated and needed! I don't know what it is about Vlad, but because of him, I actually enjoyed the video and it made me feel good for the phone, the audience, and yes, the Verge itself! Great work, great video.
As far as the phone is concerned, well, I am so glad to be existing in this timeline of the tech world! Awesome piece of technology there. Lovely devices. I believe we all should keep every controversy aside and just take a moment to appreciate and admire the wonderful piece of tech Huawei (and others as well) have created.
Makes me feel happy and excited. ;) (although I cannot afford any of the devices. xD )
This thing is gorgeous!!!
That is a thing of absolute beauty
Huawei added every possible innovative technology it could to this phone, apart from the 1TB memory we were expecting.
It is April 2019 and you still can't record in 60 FPS? Do something about it.
beautiful! just beautiful! no flashy Commercial words like Samsung, but this is a solid and brilliant innovation tech product. well done.
0:17 that camera launch was blazing fast.
Whole puncher might be the best Notch this Year .
If we keep 2 phones on each other back to back ; Which will charge and which will get charged ?
Just turn off the power share on the other one. You're welcome.
Both will charge both simultaneously ..
No it will explode just like your brain right now
with that price i could fed myself for more than a year lol
Take my money Huawei!
Excited about everything! Will it be usable in the US? Using the old P9 but mistakenly bought the international version and doesn't have full 4G LTE 😅
fastest figerprint recognition and face recognition I have ever seen
Does it have optical fingerprint reader
?
Did you guys forget to mention the 50x digital zoom?
Amr Ashraf did they mention 4k 30 recording only?
what else u want from a phone man just a great piece of technology
Richard:We are here today announce a camera,and it also can use as a phone.
Lost me at slows down over time. Excellent journalism love your reviews sir! 👌
finally a complete coverage.👍
I don't like that the P30 Pro is the real Flagship while the normal P30 is the speced down version but they still marketing the P30 Pro as the "Pro" device. It should rather be P30 and a P30r/P30e version so it is clear that the P30 ist the best phone. P30 has made way too much sacrifices.
I need amazing battery life
According to the preliminary testing, P30 Pro's battery out runs the mate 20 Pro. So the battery life is fantastic.
@@ericliume but the Mate 20pro doesn't outperform the S10+ which only has 4100mah lawl so even the P30PRO won't be as great as the S10+ in battery life since it shares the same sOc as the Mate 20pro 😂
Probs best battery life in the category
@@tshepangescobar18 s10+ with exynos 9820 processor has average battery life. It's Not worth getting if you can't get your hands on the s10+ snapdragon 855 version. The battery on the mate 20 pro is better than s10+ exynos 9820
@@avasd59 Yes, this. And it even might beat the 855 variant or at least do just as well if not better. And more importantly, it charges way faster.
wow those earbuds look really cool
I took a picture of the moon and you could clearly see the craters, what a phone.
This. Is. Game-changing.
Never mind the camera did you fix the GPS
Great video, but one observation, not meaning to be offensive in any way. Now, I don't think I'm having difficulties understanding the English language (and/or British dialects), but for me, I feel Vlad is a bit too fast and not clear in his speech, making it hard for me to understand what he's saying sometimes. When the subtitles also contain transcription mistakes, there can be some misunderstandings of what is actually said.
I just wanted to make a heads-up and a tiny plea/wish for presenters to be as clear as possible when presenting in videos.
Thanks, and keep up the great journalism and video content you're creating across The Verge!
I love this. The only drawback is the loss of stereo speakers which i loved in the p20 pro. But all the rest is great
What a world we live in when 'Small' is 6.1 inches
Apple is crying
Technology Professionals yeah, poor Apple, with their hundreds of billions of dollars in cash just sitting in the bank
Please stop making 80% of the review about the camera. Most of us pull out the phone take a quick pic and keep moving. All these cameras a great today. Not many of us are going around using our phones as professional photographers. Please there are many great details about this phone your passing up on to review the camera.
Why are you writing the word 'Sensor' with a 'C', instead of an 'S'. You constantly wrote: 'Censor'
Vlad with The Verge, you need a John wick cameo my friend
I often wonder, with all of these advancements in the smartphone industry's cameras, would these technical advances hurt the professional photography industry?!?!
I think this is a good and bad thing such as the access is a positive but the negative is that photographs hey less business. There are lots of pros and cons, we still have to wait and see
Actually not really , all these phones take stuffs that are good for small screens but frankly comparing the cameras of dslr is still light year away, maybe prosumer cameras probably like entry lvl dslr and compact cams
Is the AF less jerky in zoomed in aperture mode on the P30 Pro? On the P20 Pro it's unusable.
Also, does it still over-sharpen pics after it takes them?
Great video bro:)
It's a pity that Huawei phones are not available in the US. American consumers are missing out on this one.
P30 Pro has better cameras, better performance, dual SIM, better battery life, faster charging, IR blaster, dual band GPS, wireless desktop mode, faster LTE, better everything than the S10+, this is hands down the best phone out now.
Lmao wrong
does it work with US carrier?
How ist the Displayresolution compared to the Mate 20 Pro, is the a difference. Can you see dots or is it clear view how at mate 20 pro. This is my main point. I do not want to see the pixels :D
P30 pro or One plus 7 pro?🤔
May I know where is the launch event in Malaysia
Love the color
It doesn't know what it's looking at, it guesses.
Can you shoot raw file in zoom mode?
Can I just say that I always like the videos with Vlad? He's a good host, seems like a cool guy.
The camera powerhouse
please do camera comparison with Nokia 9
Vlaaaaadimeeeer! how do you do! zoomin in 50 times?
Note 10 : Goddammit!
And so the embargo lifted.... 😁😁

And the P30 Pro tells rizal; "Touch Me Not"
Are you back or are you still there in spain?
I love Huawei, been going back fourth with other brands, to see the difference but, lately Huawei has been pretty liable for me. This model has me excited.
This phone is clearly worse then the s10 for more money .
@@hamzaHrv HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
This is just nuts
We can see THANOS by zooming 50x from this device...haha
Can we tell the diffrence between FHD & QHD on a 6inch display?
200 ppi . But that's not that important the screen on the s10 is better in every other aspect as well
The resolution is worse than a $300 S8
Genuinely, why are camera bumps still around? Can't engineers and designers make the phone that extra 3-5mm thicker or set the camera mechanics further back in the phone itself?
the phone should be used with a case anyway, so the lens won't stick out.
Now Huawei need to do something with EMUI like Samsung did with their UI.
Thank god they got rid of the front facing finger print scanner.
What,s price come in india plz tell me ... this phone mate 30 proooo
Its more expensive then a s10+ .
@@hamzaHrv thank you
is there anything between 1x and 5x optical zoom?
apparently the 1x sensor is good enough, and on video mode, you won't be getting the jittery transition that normal phones get when changing from 1x to 2x
lucky👍the best one 2019
Came here after watching MKBHD video, he has a different class of reviewing phone.
MKBHD is overrated, overhyped and reviews tech for kids.
