Huawei Mate 30 has finally been introduced. We also have a price for it, but not a launch date. It's also the first phone without Google services. Huawei came up with a solution, but it's not the one you wanted, probably.
Huawei Mate 30 should be the company's best phone for 2019. It just doesn't have the Google apps. Thus, it is a smartphone that, from a hardware point of view, is extremely advanced. That's why it's a time-consuming investment compared to the iPhone 11.
From the size of the edges to the 3D facial authentication system, Huawei's director explained how his phone is better. Huawei Mate 30 will be available in three versions: Lite, Mate 30 and Pro. The latter, as you guessed, is the best.
Yes, Huawei also compared it to the iPhone 11 Pro when it said it copied the design of the photo-video assembly on the Mate 20. The iPhone 11 Pro, unlike the previous models, has all the cameras arranged in a square in the corner. top left.
Huawei Mate 30 price: from the cheapest to the most expensive
Unlike other years, Huawei has limited the options per model to one. Thus, 8 GB RAM and 256 GB storage for Pro, both 5G and simple. And the simple model has only 128 GB of storage.
On the other hand, the most expensive phone is the Huawei Mate 30 Porsche Design, which costs 2,095 euros.
As for applications, Huawei no longer has access to Google services for this phone. Thus, it has Huawei Mobile Services. It promises AppGallery and other apps that have various numbers for unique users per month. It doesn't mean much if there aren't many applications.
Specifications for Huawei Mate and Mate 30 Pro
The biggest difference between Mate 30 and Mate 30 Pro is on the screen: the first one has a 6.62-inch OLED with a Full HD + resolution. The second has a 6.53-inch screen with a slightly higher resolution than Full HD. According to the company, the phone uses a flexible OLED. Otherwise, both support DCI-P3 HDR and blue light filter.
The phones will be available in six shades of color. And the room assembly is more circular than ever, after the previous model was square.
Kirin 990 with 5G modem is the most important announcement, however. It is the processor developed by Huawei for the phones from 2019 to 2020. Huawei Mate 30 is the first phone to debut.
The Huawei Mate 30 has a 4,200 mAh battery, while the Mate 30 Pro has a 4,500 mAh battery. This is the first time that the differences between a normal Mate and a Pro are so small.
It's a 5G phone and this was an opportunity for Huawei to boast a graphene cooling system. This material is under continuous research and one of the applications could be in the development of a new type of batteries. Otherwise, Huawei Mate 30 on 5G would be cooler than a Galaxy Note 10 Plus on 5G.
Huawei Mate 30 and Mate 30 Pro have fast charger
One chapter that Huawei has done well so far has been the fast charging of phones. Deliver something similar now. Thus, the Huawei Mate 30 and Mate 30 Pro can be charged wirelessly at 27 watts, while the plug-in adapter is 40 watts.
At the same time, it has increased the speed on wireless reversible charging. She's three times better now. This feature was also implemented by Samsung under the name PowerShare.
According to the company, Huawei Mate 30 has the following cameras: 16 MP for ultrawide, 40 MP for wide and 8 MP for zoom. It offers 45x optical-digital zoom (3x optical and 30x digital). The 45x calculation starts with the ultrawide camera.
Otherwise, the system is the same as the Huawei P30 Pro. The improvements, if any, are more software-based. Macro mode would have been improved, but in the end, how many people use it?
On the other hand, the Mate 30 Pro looks a little better: 40 MP sensor for ultrawide camera, 40 MP for wide and 8 MP for zoom. It also has a better way of portraiture (basically a more pronounced blur of the background).
Huawei also boasts ultra slow-motion: 7,680 frames per second. It sounds artificial, so we should test it to see if it's real.
The company also announced a partnership with DJI for the Osmo Mobile 3 stabilizer. Thus, if you use a Mate 30 and bring it close to an Osmo, the two connect automatically. The company also introduced a light dedicated to the phone. It works like a flashlight, almost.
Android 10, but without Google services
Both phones benefit from Android 10 with EMUI10 interface. Some extra animations, dark mode throughout the system and AppGallery instead of the Play Store. The update will come on other phones in the near future.
A trick presented by Huawei is that you can control some applications by hand gestures in the air. And you can take a screenshot by pointing your palm at the selfie camera.
Huawei also announced multi-screen collaboration. That is, what Apple has between iOS and macOS devices. Like Apple, Huawei only works between its devices. This way, you can have your Huawei Mate 30 mirrored on your laptop and reply to messages from there.
Porsche Design version for those who want to give even more on the phone
There is a Porsche Design version, somehow predictable. From 2014 until now, there have been many phones made with a design that would make you think it is a luxury item. There are also small hardware differences.
Huawei Mate 30 RS will have 12 GB of RAM and 512 GB of storage space. It will have the same Kirin 990 processor. And a case that doubles as a stand for when you watch movies or as a belt to have a better grip when holding the phone in your hand.
