Huawei P30 Pro

Camera is super-versatile thanks to multiple lenses ; Low-light shooting seriously impressive ; It charges so fast and lasts for ages

Screen isn’t as sharp as some rivals ; Slippery glass design ; EMUI remains a pain

If you’re happy to live with Huawei’s version of Android, the P30 Pro is a fantastic flagship that packs in enough to make it just about worth its high £899 asking price. The camera here is incredible, the battery life superb and the design slick...

Stunning color options and trendy design, water-resistant

No 3.5mm audio port

But don't get us wrong - while photography is the Huawei P30 Pro's forte, it still excels at everything that you'd need from a modern smartphone - design, screen, performance and gaming, even battery life. It may not be without omissions, but those are...

Never-Before-Seen Lossless Zoom Feature ; Ultra-Wide Angle Camera Is Fun ; Super HDR In Photos ; Fast In-Display Fingerprint Scanner ; Generous 6.47-inch Display ; Long-lasting and rapid-charging battery ; Rapid Kirin 980 processor

EMUI 9.1 Software Is An Eyesore ; Specs Aren't Market-Leading

Terrific camera. Excellent performance. Sharp design.

Not available in the US. Expensive. EMUI has some bloatware.

The P30 Pro is a very good phone with an extraordinary camera. After the minimal upgrades Apple and Samsung made with their most recent devices, it's refreshing to see Huawei taking a bold step forward in the photography department. It's just a shame...

Best zoom on any smartphone camera to date ; Best low-light camera ; Kirin 980 provides fast and fluid performance ; Battery lasts for a heroically long time

Buggy and unappealing software ; Display curves exhibit discoloration at certain viewing angles ; Fingerprint reader isn’t great

Huawei’s new flagship is just the start of a whole new breed of cameraphone. Periscope lenses and AI will soon be minimum specs for flagship cameras, and any phone maker not already working on such technology will be left behind. If you can’t wait for...

Strong camera ; Mind-bending zoom capabilities

Specs don't wow ; Screen colors a little muted

A strong phone from Huawei that's well put together, but one that lacks any real headline spec beyond the camera. The four sensor array impresses and the zoom is mind-blowing if used correctly - but is that enough for a real flagship?

One of the most versatile and capable cameras at launch ; Low-light capture can sometimes outsmart even Google Night Sight ; Gorgeous design and colour options ; Ultra long-lasting battery life ; 40W fast-charging ensure longevity ; Plenty of power

Lacks 2K resolution display ; Colour inconsistencies between cameras ; Optical stabilisation could be more supportive ; No 3.5mm headhone jack (standard P30 has this) ; Not everyone will love the EMUI software - and lingering questions over its future

With great design and colour options, immense battery life, plenty of power, and versatile cameras, the P30 Pro isn't just a photography phone, it's arguably the best flagship phone we saw launch in 2019. Its appeal may have been marred by US-China...

Battery life for both phones is excellent, although no longer quite as class-leading, as this title remains with the Mate 20 as well as the new Galaxy S10+.

Excellent camera performance ; Innovative Night Vision and 135mm Zoom ; Very good build quality

Not the best display at this price ; Computing performance could be better
