Huawei pushes photography limits with P30 series

Since Huawei has gained global recognition for its phones, the focus has always been on the camera capabilities of its devices. That is the same this time around. As they would say, the P30 and P30 Pro are evolutionary instead of being revolutionary. You can see the P30 Pro taking inspiration from the Mate 20 line, while the P30 looks like a refined version of the P20 Pro. It comes in eye-catching new colors with interesting names: Breathing Crystal, Amber Sunrise, Pearl White, Classical Black, and Aurora (a Huawei signature we’ve seen copied endlessly in the segment).

The P30 has a 6.1-inch FHD+ OLED display, while the P30 Pro has a 6.47-inch FHD+ Curved OLED screen. Huawei drops the bevy of cameras and sensors on the Mate 20 Pro to give both the P30 and P30 Pro a smaller dewdrop display, which the company claims is symmetric. These phones are said to be more compact with narrower bezels and a lighter build. But the P30 Pro retains the big battery of the Mate 20 Pro despite that (although when compared with the said phone, it is slightly heavier—granted it’s also a slightly bigger phone.

Leak shares possible screen sizes of the upcoming Huawei P30 series

We already know Huawei is set to release its P30 series soon. While we don’t have an exact date yet, we know what the phones’ screens might look like. Slash Leaks obtained a photo of the supposed screen protectors for the P30, P30 Pro, and P30 Lite. The P30 Pro will reportedly have a 6.4-inch QHD+ display and have an in-display fingerprint reader. Meanwhile, the P30 and P30 Lite both get 6-inch FHD+ displays. But the P30 also gets an in-display fingerprint reader, while the P30 Lite has a rear fingerprint scanner. All three will reportedly get the waterdrop notch display. We don’t know if this means 3D face scanning will be less sophisticated this time around than the one introduced in the Mate 20 Pro. For now, these are still rumours and we’d only find out which ones are real when Huawei officially launches the phone.

Leak shows possible design of the Huawei P30 Pro

How many camera sensors is enough in a smartphone? Manufacturers still aren’t done adding more into their devices. The latest leak for Huawei’s upcoming P30 Pro smartphone suggests we’re getting another smartphone with four camera lenses. Unlike Samsung’s take on the trend, the fourth sensor rumoured to be coming to Huawei’s newest flagship won’t be directly usable. The company is following a new trend from Chinese brands where there’s a Time-of-Flight (ToF) sensor that’s commonly used for 3D mapping in virtual and augmented reality. How this’ll be utilized is something we don’t know yet.

One other change rumoured to be coming to the P30 is a smaller, “waterdrop” notch. The P20 Pro had a wider notch to house extra sensors for a more advanced 3D face recognition system. Now, we’re wondering if the P30 Pro loses these sensors. We’ll only find out once they phone officially launches, which usually happens in the first quarter of the year.
