Mar 27, 2019

Huawei launched its latest flagship smartphone series — Huawei P30 series yesterday at a launch event in Paris, France. The company is still going with the dual devices strategy and launched two phones — Huawei P30 and Huawei P30 Pro.

While it’s known that Samsung is the supplier of the P30’s display, it remained unknown who provided the flexible display panel for the P30 Pro. Well, now it’s known from where the flexible screen panel for the P30 Pro comes.

When BOE Vice President Yuan Wei was asked if BOE provided the display panel for the P30 Pro, he confirmed that it’s indeed BOE. This also seems like a clever move from Huawei as the company won’t be dependent on a single vendor for the display panels and can easily scale up productions if required.

The Huawei P30 has a 6.1-inch FHD+ OLED DCI-P3 HDR display with a 19.5:9 aspect ratio while the P30 Pro comes with a larger 6.47-inch FHD+ curved OLED display. The phone doesn’t have an earpiece, instead, it uses Acoustic Display Technology.

Both the phones are powered by the Kirin 980 chipset with up to 8GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. There is support for storage expansion using Huawei’s NM Card. The P30 comes with a triple-camera setup while the Pro model features a quad-camera setup.

The P30 has a 3,650mAh battery with support for 22.5W fast charging while the P30 Pro has a 4,200mAh battery with support for 40W fast-charging and support for 15W wireless fast charging. Both phones run EMUI 9.1 based on Android Pie.

Mar 27, 2019

Lenovo Group’s Vice President Chang Chengfa recently announced that the company’s next flagship smartphone Lenovo Z6 Pro will be unveiled on March 27. Earlier, the company had teased the phone’s launch during MWC 2019 last month but instead of launching the smartphone, the company just revealed that the phone will make its debut soon.

Today, a teaser of the Z6 Pro smartphone was shared on Chinese microblogging platform Weibo, which hints at the support for 100-megapixel images captured using the phone’s camera. As the phone is unlikely to have 100 MP camera sensor, we expect that some kind of a software trick is in the play.

This could be related to the HyperVision camera that the company has been talking about since last month. However, no details about the said HyperVision Camera or the ‘Hyper Video’ which the company has been teasing, is known.

Recently, a video teaser was posted on Weibo which showcases the Hyper Video feature of the smartphone. The short video seems to be using macro and slow-mo effect. The text posted along with the video suggests that it took over a year for the company to develop this Hyper Video feature.

Although none of the details related to this Hyper Videos feature have been revealed, the company had previously said that it will be transferred at a higher speed than the current videos. This new feature will be added as a new camera technology to Lenovo smartphone, starting with Z6 Pro.

Previous teasers related to the smartphone implies that the device will come with an in-display fingerprint sensor, which is now in almost all flagship smartphones. The phone is also expected to be powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 SoC and support wireless charging. The Lenovo Z6 Pro will officially make its debut next month.

The Redmi Y3 may also launch as the Redmi 7 Pro

Mar 27, 2019

A few days ago, we reported that a new phone called the Redmi Y3 received its Wi-Fi certification. The phone which will run Android Pie out of the box may actually go by another name in some markets. To be specific, this may be the same device that will be sold as the Redmi 7 Pro.

Redmi Y3 may also launch as the Redmi 7 Pro

A finding carried out by XDA-Developers has shown that the unreleased Redmi Y3 has nearly the same model number as the Redmi 7 but its actually their codenames that shows the key info. The Redmi Y3’s model number is M1810F6G and its device codename is “onc_global”.

The already released Redmi 7 has multiple model numbers – M1810F6LG for the global variant, M1810F6LI for the Indian variant, and there is M1810F6LH which is also a global variant. You can see they all share the first seven characters with the Redmi Y3. The codenames for all three Redmi 7 phones are “onclite”, “onclite_india”, and “onclite_global_b” respectively.

The “lite” in the codenames shows they are less-specced models of “onc_global”. So if “onclite” is the Redmi 7, “onc” should be the Redmi 7 Pro.

Let’s also not forget that last year’s Redmi 6 Pro is known outside China as the Android One Mi A2 Lite. Does this mean the Redmi Y3 a.k.a. Redmi 7 Pro, is also the Mi A3 Lite? Since none of the aforementioned codenames have the suffix “ _sprout” which is a trait of Android One phones, one can hold the thought.

Mar 26, 2019

About this time last year, Samsung announced the Exynos 9610 – a 10nm chipset that actually belongs to the Exynos 7 series. The chipset powers the new Galaxy A50 and is expected to also power the Motorola One Vision. A new leak has revealed Samsung is working on a successor called the Exynos 9710.

According to Ice Universe, one of the top sources for Samsung-related leaks, the Exynos 9710 will be an 8nm chipset. It will have 8 cores – 4 x Cortex A76 cores clocked at 2.1GHz while the rest are Cortex-A55 cores clocked at 1.7GHz. This is a huge upgrade when compared to the Exynos 9610 which has 4 x A73 cores and 4 x A53 cores. So expect some serious processing power from this new chipset along with better power management.

For the GPU, the Exynos 9710 will have a Mali-G76 MP8 GPU clocked at 650MHz a boost from the 9610 which has a 2nd-gen Bifrost-based Mali G72 GPU. We expect the new chipset will also have a more powerful ISP that can handle more cameras with higher pixel resolutions.

Mar 26, 2019

In addition to the FreeLace and Freebud earbuds, Huawei also unveiled a 40W Powerbank with a massive 12000mAh battery under its hood. There are occasions where a power bank becomes useful, while travelling, camping and several other instances. Often times, there are always limitations to the type of gadgets you can fire up using a Power bank but that is gradually changing. The Huawei 12000 40W SuperCharge power bank cannot only charge smartphones, smartwatches, cameras, tablets but also your laptop! The device is said to be the first Power bank that gets the safety certification of Germany’s TUV Rheinland.

The 40W power bank delivers super fast charging to supported gadgets. Huawei says the power bank can charge the new P30 Pro up to 70%vin just 30 minutes when a 10W charger can deliver just 26% to the device in the same period. Even the 22.5W SuperCharge power bank that Huawei has can deliver 55% charge in 30 minutes. The Huawei 12000 SuperCharge power bank comes with a bi-directional 40W charge and recharge capabilities. This means that while it can deliver 40W output to supported devices, it also has a super fast 40W input speed. Thus, it can become fully charged in just 2 hours 14 minutes as against 5 hours 25 minutes which a 10W 12000 power bank takes to charge from zero to full charge.

Furthermore, the powerbank is crammed with a mammoth 12000mAh Lithium-Cobalt oxide battery which is similar to the one used on the premium Huawei P20 Pro. Despite the big battery, the powerbank weighs just 227g. The weight won’t pose a problem if you are on the go. The powerbank supports both Type-A and Type-C outputs. So, it can charge laptops that use USB-C charging ports.

The Power bank is available in White and Blue colours. Huawei is yet to release details of its pricing and availability.

Huawei just released the P30 duo and as expected, they are one of the best flagship smartphone series that you can buy today. The company continued the tradition of releasing a slightly smaller P30 model alongside a larger and more powerful P30 Pro. They are similar in a lot of aspects but there are a few differences as well. The big difference is in the pricing, with P30 starting at just €799, a healthy €200 cheaper than the base 8GB + 128GB Huawei P30 Pro model. But at this price, what are you losing out? Do you sacrifice too much on features to save a couple of hundred Euros? That’s what we try to find in this article.

I’ll keep this article short since the Huawei P30 vs P30 Pro specs table tells you the whole story. So, let’s check that out first.

Huawei P30 vs P30 Pro: Design and Durability

In all essence, the Huawei P30 and P30 Pro share the exact same design. So you have a fancy AMOLED display up front with teardrop notches and a glass back.

So how do you differentiate between the two models?

Since the P30 has a triple camera setup, the flash and other sensors lie right below the camera housing. On the other hand, the larger P30 Pro comes with a quad camera setup. This includes a unique looking periscope camera in place of the third sensor in the camera housing. Then there’s an additional ToF camera alongside flash and other sensors on the right.

Of course, there’s a big difference in the form factor too. The Huawei P30 is not only smaller, all thanks to its 6.1-inch display (vs ~6.5-inch on the P30 Pro), it is also significantly lightweight. There’s nearly a difference of 30 grams between the two models, and that’s quite a lot in everyday usage.

Further, the Huawei P30 comes with a dedicated 3.5mm headphone jack, which its powerful sibling lacks.

As for durability, Huawei P30 is just IP53 certified as opposed to P30 Pro’s IP68 rating.

Huawei P30 vs P30 Pro: Cameras

There’s no doubt that the P30 Pro has a better camera setup than the P30. While the P30 model is no slouch with a powerful triple camera setup, the Pro version takes things up a notch with better features and quad cameras. Here’s a quick look at the differences in their cameras.

P30 vs P30 Pro

Triple Cameras vs Quad Cameras
Primary Lens Aperture: f/1.8 vs f/1.6 (lower is better)
No ToF vs dedicated ToF sensor (fourth sensor)
ISO: 204800 vs 409600
3X Optical Zoom vs 5X Optical Zoom
5X Hybrid Zoom vs 10X Hybrid Zoom
30X Digital Zoom vs 50X Digital Zoom

Huawei P30 vs P30 Pro: Battery

The thing that makes P30 Pro heavier gives it an edge here. The larger model has a larger battery too: 4200mAh vs 3650mAh on the P30. Both feature 40W Huawei Super Charge fast charging. However, P30 doesn’t have Wireless Charging, which is really a shame. So, naturally, it doesn’t have reverse Wireless Charging either, which the larger model brags about. Huawei has ensured wireless charging on the Pro model isn’t painfully slow, as it goes up to 15W.

Huawei P30 vs P30 Pro: Pricing

The P30 starts at €799, while the P30 Pro starts at €999.

For me, that’s a very solid price difference. While the P30 Pro really shines in the camera department, the P30 shouldn’t be a slouch. It should still be one of the better cameras in the market. So, if you can forgive the lack of Wireless Charging support, the smaller model makes a really strong case with its specs. Not to mention that it’s pretty compact and light, making it a more comfortable option for everyday use.

But if you don’t mind the larger sibling’s beefy form factor and can shell out nearly a thousand Euros, look no further than the P30 Pro.

Huawei has just announced the Huawei P30 and Huawei P30 Pro at an event in Paris today. Over the past few weeks, there have been lots of leaks about both phones but today’s event reveals new details. The Huawei P30 series, just like their predecessors are camera beasts and with what we have seen today, competitors have a lot of catching up to do.

Specs

The Huawei P30 has a 6.1-inch FHD+ (2340 x 1080) OLED DCI-P3 HDR display with a 19.5:9 aspect ratio. The Pro version has a larger 6.47-inch FHD+ curved OLED display. Both screens have low-power consumption. The P30 Pro doesn’t have an earpiece, instead, it uses Acoustic Display Technology which emits sounds through the display using magnetic levitation.

Powering both phones is the Kirin 980 with up to 8GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. There is support for storage expansion using Huawei’s NM Card. Huawei has redesigned the tray: rather than a SIM tray where the two SIMs and or the NM Card are side-by-side, the tray of the P30 series is designed to fit in one Nano SIM on top and the NM Card or a second Nano SIM underneath.

The Huawei P30 Pro has an IP68 rating while the P30 has an IP53 rating. Both have an in-display fingerprint scanner which is 30% faster than that of the previous generation.

The P30 has a 3,650mAh battery with support for 22.5W fast charging while the P30 Pro has a 4,200mAh battery with support for 40W fast-charging and support for 15W wireless fast charging. The P30 might not have the Pro’s 40W fast charging but it has an audio jack.

Both phones run EMUI 9.1 based on Android Pie. We will have a separate article talking about the new features of EMUI 9.

Cameras

This is the selling point of the P30 and P30 Pro and Huawei doesn’t hold back on both devices. The P30 has three cameras – an 8MP f/2.4 3X telephoto lens, a 16MP f/2.2 ultra wide angle lens, and a 40MP f/1.8 wide angle lens. The P30 Pro has four – a 20MP f/2.2 ultra wide angle lens, a 40MP f/1.6 wide-angle lens, an 8MP f/3.4 5X telephoto, and a ToF depth-sensing camera.

For the selfie camera, both the Huawei P30 and Huawei P30 Pro come with a 32MP sensor with AI HDR+.

Unlike other cameras that use an RGGB sensor, the Huawei P30 series use RYYB sensors. They are the first phones in the world to do so. The RYYB sensor is able to absorb 40% more light than the RGGB sensor. The sensor size is also bigger at 1/1.7 inches, 125% more than that of the Galaxy S10 Plus and the iPhone Xs Max.

The 40MP main camera and the 8MP telephoto lens on the P30 Pro both have OIS for better low-light performance. Both the P30 and P30 Pro also have the highest ISO value of any phone. Huawei shared some camera samples that show how both phones perform in low-light and even did a live demo during the launch. They really do blow the competition out of the water.

The P30 and P30 Pro are not only low-light camera champs but also masters of zoom. The P30 has 3X optical zoom, 5X hybrid zoom, and 30X digital zoom. The Pro model has 5X optical zoom, 10X hybrid zoom, and 50X digital zoom. Below are sample photos taking with the zoom lens. The SuperZoom lens also allows you to record timelapse videos from a distance.

Just like their predecessors, the P30 series have AIS which allows you to take professional long exposure photos without a tripod. The feature now also works in daytime. There is also a feature called Dual-View video which allows you to record a wide-angle and close-up view simultaneously.

The P30 Pro has a fourth camera – the ToF sensor which allows for better depth capturing for portrait images. With the ToF sensor, the P30 Pro has a new Pro-Bokeh mode for portrait images with a high level of detail. Both phones also have a 2.5cm super macro mode that allows you to capture close up images with incredible details.

Huawei didn’t fail to brag about its DxOMark scores too. The P30 Pro has a photo score of 119 and a video score of 97 for an overall score of 112. Notice that the video score of the P30 Pro is even lower than that of the P20 Pro?
