- Huawei Mate 30 and Mate 30 Pro Price And Specs
Yesterday, we get to see the new flagship smartphone released by Huawei. This popular tech giants have shown the world it's latest powerhouse flagship, packs in more cameras, more processing power and a new and improved waterfall-inspired design. Sweet Jesus this is something we never seen before.
Keep in mind that, the flagship doesn't come with the Google Play Store, the main way users outside China access Android apps. The devices runs on an open source version of Google's Android operating system, which by default doesn't come preinstalled with the US company's suite of popular apps and services that licensed versions have.
The new Huawei phones come in both 4G and 5G variants and sport a circular rear camera setup that is based on the company's 'Halo Ring Design' along with Leica optics. The circular camera module which replaces the squircle from last year. On stage, Richard Yu described the new design as an “exquisite halo ring” that houses four cameras and is meant to mirror the look of a DSLR.
The curved edges found on recent Huawei phones have also received some attention and now has a more pronounced curvature of 88 degrees. Huawei is calling the new waterfall-inspired design the Huawei Horizon Display. To accomodate the sharper curves, Huawei has installed “invisible” touch capacitive buttons for the volume rocker instead of traditional hardware keys.

The Mate 30 also features a 16MP ultra-wide camera, making its rear camera setup virtually identical to the Huawei P30. The Mate 30 Pro delivers a 3D ToF camera for bokeh effects, but it also ups the ante considerably with a 40MP ultra-wide camera. This ultra-wide camera delivers much-improved low-light performance in theory, offering a slightly bigger sensor than the primary camera sensor (1/1.7 inches for the primary sensor versus 1/1.5 inches for the ultra-wide sensor).
