A few weeks ago, we showed you our first impressions with the Huawei Mate 30 Pro . A device that comes to stand up to heavy weights such as the iPhone Pro Max or the Samsung Galaxy Note 10+, thanks to a height design and technical characteristics where the photographic section is its greatest exponent. But is it worth buying this terminal? If in doubt, do not miss our review of the Huawei Mate 30 Pro .
As expected, we talk about a high-end phone, so we can expect a device with a really complete design and features. But, it must be said that, before starting this analysis of the Huawei Mate 30 Pro , we want you to know that we have had to install Google services, since they do not come standard. Once this point is clear, let’s talk about the aesthetic section.
Huawei Mate 30 Pro review: design
We are facing a terminal that has an aspect of height. With 15.8 x 7.3 x 8.8 mm thick and 198 grams , we are facing a very bulky device. To say that we find some very curious details and that make a difference with respect to other models. Especially its 90 degree curved panel that makes the difference. Of course, its curved design makes it not excessively ergonomic.
Another of the great aesthetic details we have in the back. And, the distribution of the cameras offers a very different design, and it is a detail that we loved. Not to mention the complete color palette of the Huawei Mate 30 Pro. Available in black, silver, violet and green, we have a very complete device aesthetically.
On the front, highlights the notch of the Huawei Mate 30 Pro . It must be said that the notch on the screen is remarkable, but in return we have a very successful facial recognition system that can stand up to that of the iPhone 11, in addition to a fingerprint reader integrated into the terminal screen that works really well .
Another of the most surprising details of the design of this mobile phone, comes to see its sides. On the right side, it is where the characteristic on / off button of the terminal is located. But where are the volume control keys? The firm has opted to integrate them on the side of the screen. To do this, with a double press we can control the sound to our liking. The system works really well getting a unique look.
Say that at the bottom is where the USB Type C port is located, in addition to the terminal speaker. Yes, the Huawei Mate 30 Pro is dust and water resistant thanks to its IP68 certification , we have run out of 3.5 mm jack. Luckily, in the box comes the typical cable to be able to connect them through its USB Type-C port.
Huawei Mate 30 Pro review: features
At the hardware level we do not find great surprises. Not because the Huawei Mate 30 Pro is not very powerful, but rather the opposite. As expected in a terminal of these characteristics, the new flagship of the Mate family arrives with the best in the market. For starters, it has a silicon heart formed by a Kirin 990 processor, the jewel in the manufacturer’s crown. To this, we must add a configuration of 8 GB of RAM and 128 or 256 GB of internal storage expandable through Huawei memory cards.
To say that the internal memory arrives with UFS 3.1 technology, which translates into a speed when moving through its interface, or running any game or application, is simply devilish. Obviously, with such hardware, the phone moves smoothly and smoothly. No matter what applications we have open, that this Huawei Mate 30 Pro will move any game without disheveled, no matter how much graphics load it requires.
Another of the strengths of the terminal we see in the autonomy. And is that the battery of the Huawei Mate 30 Pro, with its mastodónticos 4,500 mAh, are translated into one of the terminals with better screen times on. During the analysis of the device, it must be said that we can rest assured that one and a half days you will reach them without any problem. To this, add the 50 W fast charging system , in addition to having wireless charging and reversible wireless charging to have one of the best solutions in this regard.
Turning to the multimedia section, say that the screen of the Huawei Mate 30 Pro has a diagonal of 6.53 inches with OLED technology and with more than 409 pixels per inch to offer a unique experience when viewing content. Vivid and crisp colors, good viewing angles and an exquisite level of brightness. Of course, its lower speaker sounds great, but it is not the best of the high range. Let’s see the great strength of this terminal, its photographic section.
Huawei Mate 30 Pro review: camera
Because, how could it be otherwise, the camera of the Huawei Mate 30 Pro is a true wonder. To start, we find a system consisting of four sensors. The first has 40 megapixels and 1.6 focal aperture, 40 megapixel wide angle with 1.7 focal aperture, an 8 megapixel telephoto lens that achieves 3X zoom, in addition to a ToF sensor to complete a surprising set.
During the tests we have done with the camera of the Huawei Mate 30 Pro, it has become clear that it is the phone with the most versatile camera.
It doesn’t matter if you are going to do night photography, in well-lit environments, wide-angle photos… Whatever it is, the terminal complies with a note. And its video mode achieves very successful results. Is it better than the Huawei P30 Pro?
There are no excessive differences, but the video quality is remarkable compared to the previous model. Its recording mode in 4K mode at 60 frames per second, achieves results that have left us with our mouths open.
Finally, we are going to leave you a few examples of photographs taken with the Huawei Mate 30 Pro so you can see the possibilities offered by its powerful camera. Although, there is a great one but you have to keep in mind. It does not come with Google services.
And this is a great but. More than anything because, the difficulty in installing certain applications, such as Netflix, is quite complicated, which makes it a terminal for advanced users who are willing to play the phone so they can have it at their leisure.
