The Mate 30 Pro launched with just one physical button – the power button. The reason was due to the phone’s “waterfall” display which curved 88° to the sides and made it near impossible for volume control buttons to be placed on the sides.

Huawei’s solution was virtual volume buttons that could be activated by double-tapping either sides of the screen which then brought up a virtual volume control slider.

The phone’s successor, the Mate 40 Pro, which launched last month also has a curved display (same 88° curvature) but comes with physical volume controls alongside the virtual buttons.

The Vice President of Huawei’s mobile phone business, Bruce Lee, revealed in an interview after the launch of the Mate 40 series in China, that they decided to bring back physical volume buttons as a result of the feedback they got from users of the Mate 30 Pro. Notwithstanding, they decided to keep the virtual buttons too as there is a significant percentage of users that like it.

Mr. Lee revealed that there were multiple prototypes of the Mate 30 series before they settled on adopting the use of virtual buttons. He added that one version of the virtual buttons they experimented with doesn’t require double-tapping but a swipe to adjust the volume. However, double-tapping received a more favorable response which is why they went with it.

The Mate 40 Pro’s physical buttons are on the right but are closer to the back of the phone. Huawei says they have also added an anti-accidental touch algorithm for the virtual buttons to make it easier for those who operate their phones with one hand.

A new Huawei phone that bears resemblance to the Huawei Mate 30 Pro in terms of specs and design has appeared in the database of China’s TENAA regulatory body. The new phone’s model number is LIO-AN00m, whereas the Mate 30 Pro has an LIO-AN00m model number. The only remarkable difference between the two phones is that the newly found LIO-AN00m handset inferior cameras on the front and rear.

At present, there is no word on the official name of the LIO-AN00m smartphone. It has a 16-megapixel front-facing camera and its rear has a 32-megapixel main camera in its rear-mounted quad camera setup. In comparison, the Huawei Mate 30 Pro featured a 32-megapixel selfie snapper, and a 40-megapixel + 8-mgeapixel (telephoto) + 40-megapixel (ultrawide) + 3D ToF quad camera setup.

The rest of the specs of the Huawei LIO-AN00m are identical to the Mate 30 Pro. It has a 6.5-inch OLED display that supports 1176 x 2400 pixels and its preinstalled with Android 10 OS.

The phone is powered by a 2.86GHz octa-core processor which seems to be the Kirin 990 chipset. It has 6 GB, 8 GB, and 12 GB RAM variants. Its storage choices are 128 GB, 256 GB, and 512 GB. There is a storage slot onboard for additional storage.

It has a rated battery of 4,400mAh and its 3C listing suggests that it may ship with a 40W charger. ToF camera is available on the front for facial recognition. The phone also features an under-display fingerprint sensor.

Huawei‘s latest Mate 30 Pro flagship has really not blossomed to full capacity. That isn’t because the device isn’t an amazing phone. Damn, it is! But the US ban on Huawei has made it impossible to ship the phone with Google Services onboard. That has, in no small way, hampered the sales of the phone outside China. Despite the ban, the phone has been released in some regions and is now set to make its entry in the UK.

The Mate 30 Pro will go on sale on February 20 in the UK and would be sold exclusively online by Carphone Warehouse. Intending buyers can register their interest already ahead of the sales. In order to attract more buyers, Huawei is offering the Mate 30 Pro bundled with a pair of Huawei Watch GT 2 and the Huawei FreeBuds 3 earbuds. This amazing offer will be valid while stock last. Of course, we don’t expect the stock to last for a very long time.

Even without the mouthwatering offer, the Huawei Mate 30 Pro presents with an amazing 6.53-inch ‘waterfall’ edge-to-edge screen called ‘horizon display’. The device packs four rear cameras in a circular housing and a large front-facing notch housing a trio of selfie cameras. It is powered by a flagship Kirin 990 chipset which brings along 5G compatibility. Keeping the light on is a 4,500mAh battery.

The Mate 30 Pro will adopt a retail price of £899, which is not unheard of for a flagship phone of this calibre but combined with the smart accessories, it becomes a true bargain. We can’t say for sure if the decision to bundle the Mate 30 along with some valuable freebies who attract the needed number of buyers. We’ll have to wait and see how this plays out.

The Huawei Mate 30 Pro 5G launched last year with a pretty curved display called Horizon Display. As part of the design changes made because of the screen, Huawei let go of the physical volume buttons and replaced them with a virtual volume rocker that can be controlled from any side of the screen. However, some users have reported issues when using this virtual volume buttons. Huawei has now begun rolling out an update that improves the functionality.

The update is rolling out to users in China and comes as version 10.0.0.196 (C00E190R5P3). It weighs in at 110MB and a rough translation of the changelog says it fixes the issue of the virtual volume control not working in some scenarios.

There is no info on when the fix will be available for models outside China as well as the 4G model, but if you own a unit and you have gotten the update, do let us know.

The Mate 30 Pro 5G has a 6.53-inch OLED display with a 2400 x 1176 resolution and a wide notch at the top. It is powered by the Kirin 990 5G processor and comes with 8GB of RAM and 128GB or 256GB of expandable storage. It has a 32MP selfie camera paired with a 3D ToF camera. On the back are two 40MP sensors (main and ultrawide) paired with an 8MP telephoto camera and a 3D ToF camera for a quad camera setup.

The phone has Face ID and also has an in-display fingerprint scanner. There is NFC, IR blaster, and Bluetooth 5.1. Unfortunately, it doesn’t have an audio jack. There is a 4500mAh battery inside with support for 40W wired charging, 27W wireless charging, and also reverse wired and wireless charging. The phone ships with EMUI 10 based on Android 10 out of the box.

Huawei is announcing price cuts for its 2019 flagship phones seeing as the P40 series is expected to launch soon. A few days ago, it cut the price of the P30 Pro. Today, it has cut the price of the Mate 30 Pro.

The Chinese giant has reduced the price of the 8GB + 128GB version of the Mate 30 Pro on its official store listed on Dangdang, a Chinese e-commerce platform. The phone which sold for ¥5799 (~$836) when it launched in late September is now available for ¥5399 (~$778) on the platform. Surprisingly, the price is unchanged on Vmall.com.

The Mate 30 Pro has a 6.53-inch 2400 x 1176 display with a wide notch at the top. It has a Kirin 990 processor under the hood. There is also an 8GB + 256GB version along with the 8GB RAM + 128GB version above.

There are four cameras on the back of the phone – a 40MP primary sensor, an 8MP telephoto camera, a 40MP ultrawide camera, and a 3D ToF camera, It also has two cameras in front; one is a 32MP sensor and the other is a 3D ToF camera which is no surprise since the phone has support for Face ID. It also has an in-display fingerprint scanner.

There is a 4500mAh battery inside the Mate 30 Pro and it supports 40W wired charging, 27W wireless charging, and reverse wireless and wired charging. Other features include NFC, IR blaster, Bluetooth 5.1, and support for storage expansion via a nano memory slot.

The Mate 30 series may have been announced first in Europe but China got the phones first. Nearly two months after the launch, the Mate 30 Pro is now available in Europe with a few conditions.

Huawei now has the Mate 30 Pro available for purchase at the Huawei Space Store in Madrid, Spain. However, there are limited quantities available, there is no Google Mobile Services installed, and you can only buy the phone in Space Silver 8GB RAM + 256GB version. Although there is no Google Mobile Services installed, there are ways to get it installed.

The price tag is €1099, just as it was announced at the September event. Huawei will give those who buy a unit a €299 voucher that can be used to purchase any items in the store. So technically, you are paying €800 for the phone. Do note that this is only applicable to those who buy between now and December 9.

The Mate 30 Pro has a 6.53-inch 1176 x 2400 OLED display with a wide notch at the top. It is powered by Huawei’s 7nm Kirin 900 processor.

The device has a 40MP f/1.6 primary rear camera, an 8MP f/2.4 telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom, another 40MP f/1.8 ultrawide camera, and a ToF camera. The main camera and telephoto camera both have optical image stabilization. The notch in front houses a 32MP selfie camera and a 3D ToF camera for Face ID. It also has an in-display fingerprint scanner.

Huawei ships the phone with EMUI 10 based on Android 10. There is a 4500mAh battery inside the phone and it supports Huawei’s 40W SuperCharge fast charge technology. It also supports 27W fast wireless charging and reverse wireless charging, so you can use it to wirelessly charge devices like your earbuds or even other phones.

Over the past few years, smartphone designs have become more and more complicated making it tricky to open and replace parts inside. So it’s no surprise that top-end flagship phones like the Galaxy Note series have traditionally not fared well in iFixit’s repairability teardowns. However, it looks like the Mate 30 Pro does pretty well in repairability as iFixit gives it a decent 5/10 score in its most recent teardown.

The waterfall glass on the Huawei Mate 30 Pro was always going to be the biggest hurdle in repairing the device. However, it’s not as bad as we would have thought as the display can be removed without removing the battery inside. But you’ll have to be really careful though. The waterfall display leaves zero margin between the display and the frame, making it quite hard to pry it open. Also, unlike most smartphones of 2019 which have separate plugs for digitizer and screen, Huawei Mate 30 Pro’s display connects to the board via a single small-sized connector.

The Mate 30 Pro manages to scores decently in the teardown because almost every component inside the device is modular and can be replaced independently. Plus, standard Phillips screws ensure you don’t have to carry multiple tools or remove a lot of glue inside the device. iFixit also added that the display is connected via a single connector, unlike the traditional two cable design where one is for the digitizer and another one for the screen.

iFixit concludes the teardown saying that the Mate 30 Pro features a lot of cutting edge tech and modular components. They even go on to say that they understand why the phone didn’t have room for a 3.5mm jack. So the 5/10 repairability score is pretty decent for a 2019 flagship.

In comparison, the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus got a repairability score of just 3/5. The Pixel 4 XL got a score of 4/10, while the iPhone 11 Pro Max did surprisingly well by scoring a solid 6/10 in repairability because of its design focus on battery and display repairs.

Back when the Huawei Mate 30 Pro was officially announced in the market, it made the headlines for one big feature: 7680 fps ultra slow-motion video shooting. The phone brought in a kind of slo-mo video capability never before seen in a smartphone camera and we were all very impressed with its results.

We have already reviewed the Mate 30 Pro and its camera in detail but we thought it would be a good idea to take a deeper dive into Huawei’s 7680 fps slo-mo video technology. There’s a lot more to this technology than you can imagine and it wouldn’t have been possible even with our current generation smartphone’s hardware capability. This unreal feature is made possible with the help of powerful software as well and we talk about them in our video below.

Rather than saying that the Mate30pro has better cameras, it’s better to admire Huawei’s advanced AI frame insertion technology. Video frame insertion is a common technique used in slow-motion videos. The general principle of frame insertion algorithm is to perform motion estimation (ME) first and then motion compensation (MC). Simply put, the software finds the difference between the two frames, such as the trajectory of the object, and then, in turn, fills that gap between the frame, to improve the video frame rate. 

So, there were a number of technical challenges that had to be overcome to make this possible. The entire camera system needs to have an extremely high data cache transmission and processing capability. The algorithms and system computing capacity should also be powerful enough to render the final outcome of the 7680 fps video shooting.

Since everyone is in awe of this ultra slo-mo technology, we hope you guys will enjoy our dedicated video on this subject.

Huawei just opened its global flagship store in Shenzhen, China and it’s already flooded with people who are looking to purchase the Huawei Mate 30 and Mate 30 Pro flagship smartphones.

There’s a reason why Huawei is calling this building as its Global flagship store. The place is huge with multiple levels and open space where you’ll find almost all of its products under one roof. From the images, we can see that Huawei is showcasing its recent smartphones as well as its Smart TVs at the store. Fans can even check out Huawei tablets and Matebook laptops at the store. In short, it is a one-stop destination to check out the hundreds of Huawei and Honor products available in China.

The launch of the new Global Flagship Store coincides with the Mate 30 series launch in China. So it’s no surprise that fans flooded the store in the hopes of getting a unit. Photos also reveal that Huawei’s CEO Richard Yu also made an appearance at the store earlier today. However, it is said that the Mate 30 models are in short supply at the moment in China.

The phone has unsurprisingly garnered a tremendous response in its home market. The Mate 30 series exceeded 500 million yuan in sales within a minute of its availability on the official VMALL store in China and over 1 million units were reportedly sold within three hours after the official sales began.

As always, the camera is the biggest selling point of the new Huawei models. In fact, the Mate 30 Pro has also surpassed the Galaxy Note 10+ 5G to become the highest-rated camera smartphone on DxOMark today.

Yay! DxOMark has released the camera review for the still spanking new Huawei Mate 30 Pro and its rating puts the new flagship atop the list of smartphones with the best camera.

Before we dive into a summary of the review, DxOMark states that the camera firmware they tested is not available to consumers yet. Technically, the Mate 30 Pro is not even available to buy yet anywhere. But nevertheless, we presume they mean it is a different firmware from what will buyers will get right out of the box.

Diving right into the score, the Mate 30 Pro has an overall score of 121, beating the Samsung Galaxy Note10+ 5G with 4 points. DxOMark also revealed the phone has a selfie camera score of 93 points, which means the Note10+ 5G, Galaxy S10 5G, and Galaxy S10+ are still the selfie camera champs with 99, 97, and 96 points respectively.

Rear Cameras (photo and video)

The Mate 30 Pro has four cameras on the rear that are placed in a circular camera housing with a bump. The primary sensor is a 40MP f/1.6 sensor with a 1/1.7” sensor size. It also has a 40MP f/1.8 ultrawide camera with a 1/1.54” sensor size, an 8MP f/2.4 telephoto camera, and a ToF 3D camera.

A breakdown of the overall score splits it into 131 points for photo and 100 points for video. DxOmark says Huawei’s latest flagship shines in every still image category. It scores higher than the Galaxy Note10+ 5G in texture and noise. The Mate 30 Pro is said to balance both attributes excellently and the only time noise is truly visible is in very low-light conditions.

DxOMark recently began scoring for Night low-light photography and the Mate 30 Pro also tops that category. The phone is able to automatically switch between using flash or ambient light when you select auto for flash.

The Mate 30 Pro lacks the P30 Pro’s periscope zoom lens and comes with 3x optical zoom instead of 5x like its sibling. However, DxOMark says it performs better in short and medium-range zoom than the Huawei P30 Pro.

For ultrawide angle photos, it also performs well but it has a narrower field of view as it is an 18mm lens. The Galaxy Note10+ 5G is able to take wider photos because it has a 12mm lens.

Samsung’s flagship still wears the crown when it comes to videos but it leads the Mate 30 Pro by a single point. This means you won’t miss much if you choose it over the new Note flagship.

Selfie Camera

The Mate 30 Pro scored 93 points in the selfie rating. The score is broken down into 97 for photo and 88 for video.

The phone has a 32MP f/2.0 camera and a ToF 3D sensor and even though it has a similar configuration to the P30 Pro, it scores 7 points higher. DxOMark says it may be as a result of the Kirin 990’s improved image processing.

The phone scores high in exposure, color, and noise but doesn’t score as high when it comes to texture and focus.

Conclusion

We had no doubt that Huawei’s Mate 30 Pro will take the crown from Samsung. Huawei has invested a lot in improving the camera performance of its flagships and it gets better with each release.

It is just sad that for those living outside China, the Mate 30 Pro will not be the first choice device due to the current US ban which won’t allow them to ship it with Google Apps.

The Kirin 990 is Huawei’s latest flagship processor. It is the chipset inside the Mate 30 and Mate 30 Pro and will be the SoC that will power Huawei and Honor‘s flagship for the next 10 months or thereabout.

Prior to the release of the Mate 30 series, the Kirin 990 was spotted on Geekbench powering an unknown Huawei device. After the launch, the chipset was benchmarked on AnTuTu, scoring less than Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 855 Plus. Today, the Master Lu benchmark result for the processor has surfaced on the web.

The result reveals the test device is the 8GB RAM + 256GB version of the Mate 30. The device scored a total of 424261 points. A break down of the score shows that the device has a CPU score of 163,575, a GPU score of 160856, and a RAM/memory score of 42840, and a storage score of 56,990.

Compared to other devices, the Mate 30’s Master Lu score comes behind that of devices like the Nubia Red Magic 3 which has a score of 459,463 points and the Black Shark 2.

1 of 2

The Kirin 990 is a 7nm chipset with 8 cores in a 2 + 2 + 4 arrangement. It has 2x Cortex A76 cores clocked at 2.86GHz, another set of 2x A76 clocked at 2.09GHz, and 4x Cortex A55 cores clocked at 1.86GHz. Its GPU is a 16-core Mali-G76 and it has a dual-core NPU. There is also a Kirin 990 5G which is a 7nm + EUV chipset with some of its cores clocked higher than the non-5G version. It also has a tri-core NPU. Hence, the Master Lu score for the Mate 30 5G version should be higher than the above.

The Huawei Mate 30 series launched this week in Munich, Germany. The Mate 30 and Mate 30 Pro are available in a single configuration in Europe – 8GB + 128GB and 8GB + 256GB respectively. However, in Huawei‘s home country, the Mate 30 series will be available in more configurations.

The TENAA listings for both phones have been published and they reveal the Mate 30 and Mate 30 Pro will be available with up to 12GB of RAM and 512GB of storage in China. The Mate 30’s model number is stated as TAS-AN00 while the Mate 30 Pro’s model number is LIO-AN00P/LIO-AN00.

Along with an 8GB RAM + 128GB version, the Mate 30 will come in 6GB RAM + 128GB, 8GB RAM + 256GB, and 12GB RAM + 512GB. On the other hand, the Mate 30 Pro will be available in 6GB + 128GB, 8GB + 128GB/256GB, and 12GB + 512GB.

Other than the RAM and storage, the rest of the specs are the same with the version announced in Europe. China is Huawei’s biggest, so it makes sense that it will have more variants available.

The Mate 30 series is powered by the Kirin 990 processor. The Mate 30 has a flat OLED screen while the Mate 30 Pro has a greatly curved screen called Horizon Display. The Pro version packs a total of 7 cameras – four on the rear and three in front while the Mate 30 comes with 5 cameras (3 on the rear and 2 in front). They run EMUI 10 based on Android 10.

Conclusion

The Mate 30 Pro misses out on the Horizon Display but not everyone is a fan of curved displays. Plus the Mate 30 Pro’s display will definitely cost more to repair compared to the Mate 30. The Mate 30 also keeps the audio jack which has been missing on the Pro version since the Mate 10 Pro. Unlike last year’s Mate 20, the cheaper Mate 30 gets support for wireless charging and it is amazing to see it charges at the same speed as the Pro variant.

The Mate 30 Pro costs more and for €300 extra, you get a sharper and more gorgeous display. You also get 3D Face Unlock, reverse wireless charging, and an IP rating. It also packs some pretty cool party tricks such as 7680fps slow-motion recording thanks to its 40MP Cine Camera, Gesture Control thanks to the gesture Sensor up in front and invisible virtual keys. There is also an upgraded wireless reverse wireless charging so you can bail out your friends at 3x the speed of last year’s model.

Huawei’s Mate series has become one of the best flagship lines of smartphones. Every year, Huawei sets a new standard with its phones and the Mate 30 and Mate 30 Pro are no different. The theme for this year is Rethink Possibilities and Huawei does just that.

Design

Just like last year’s Mate 20 series, the Mate 30 and Mate 30 Pro also look different with respect to design, mainly on the front.

The Mate 30 Pro features what is called a Horizon Display which is its name for what is generally referred to as a waterfall display. The screen curves at an angle of 88°, just shy of a right-angle. Theses curves mean there are no side buttons on the Mate 30 Pro. So Huawei uses what is called Side-touch Interaction which is invisible virtual keys. Because these are virtual keys, they are customizable, so if you like the buttons on the left, you can have them on the left instead of the right. Side-touch interaction also adds a virtual camera shutter key and like the volume keys, you can also change its position.

The Mate 30, on the other hand, has what Huawei calls a Rigid OLED display which is actually just a flat display.

Both phones have a notch at the top while, while that of the Mate 30 Pro is smaller than its predecessor’s, the Mate 30 has a bigger notch.

On the back of the Mate 30 series is a new camera design called Halo Ring. Huawei says the design was inspired by that of a DSLR camera. The Mate 30’s camera housing holds three sensors while the Pro model has a quad-camera setup.

Huawei also revealed that its Mate 30 series 5G phones boast a total of 21 antennas, 14 of which are 5G antennas which trump the 6-antenna design we have seen in other 5G phones like the Vivo NEX 3 5G.

Huawei Mate 30 Pro and Mate 30 Pro 5G

The Huawei Mate 30 Pro comes in two versions – a 5G and a 4G model. Both have a 6.53-inch Flex OLED display with a 2400 x 1176 resolution and an 18.4:9 aspect ratio.

The notch at the top of the display is home to a Gesture Sensor which allows users to wave to scroll and make a hand grab gesture to screenshot without touching the screen. There is also a pair of 3D depth cameras, ambient light and proximity sensor, and a selfie camera inside the notch. The Mate 30 Pro also has 3D Face Unlock.

Two other pretty tricks the Mate 30 Pro can do are AI Auto-Rotate and AI Private View. AI Rotate switches the screen’s orientation when you move from portrait to landscape even if the phone is not in your palms. AI Private View will automatically hide sensitive information when it senses someone is looking over your shoulder.

The Mate 30 Pro is powered by the Kirin 990 while the Mate 30 Pro 5G is powered by the Kirin 990 5G. The Kirin 5G chip doesn’t just have a 5G modem. It also differs from the non-5G model in other ways. For example, its NPU chip has 2 big cores and 1 small core while the regular Kirin 990 has 1 big core and 1 small core. The Kirin 990 5G also has its 4x Cortex A55 cores clocked higher at 1.95GHz and its 2x Cortex A76 cores clocked at 2.36GHz against the non-5G’s 1.86GHz and 2.09GHz.

Both versions of the Mate 30 Pro has 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. There is dual SIM support and the 5G version supports dual SIM 5G which means either of the two SIM slots can be set to 5G. The tray is a hybrid SIM tray which allows for two nano-SIM cards or 1 nano-SIM and an NM Card (SIM 2 slot).

The Mate 30 5G supports 5G bands n79, n78, n77, n38, n28, n3, and n1 which makes it usable around the globe.

The Mate 30 Pro series boasts an impressive camera setup. The quad cameras o the back are a SuperSensing 40MP f/1.6 camera with OIS, a 40MP Cine f/1.8 camera, an 8MP f/2.4 telephoto camera with OIS, and a 3D depth-sensing camera. The phones also have a dual-LED flash, a laser focus sensor, and a color temperature sensor. The selfie camera is a 32MP f/2.0 sensor and with the 3D sensor.

The Mate 30 Pro duo pack a 4500mAh battery with support for 40W wired charging and 27W wireless charging. Owners will have to purchase the wireless charger separately. Reverse wireless charging is back and this time it is 3 times faster than that of the Mate 20 Pro. There is no audio jack but there is an IR sensor.

The Mate 30 Pro runs EMUI 10 based on Android 10. It has an IP68 rating and weighs 198 grams. Its dimensions are 158.1 x 73.1 x 8.8 millimeters.

The Mate 30 Pro is available in Black, Space Silver, Cosmic Purple, and Emerald Green. The Mate 30 Pro 5G comes in the aforementioned colors and adds a Vegan Leather version that is available in Orange and Forest Green. The Vegan Leather version is skin-friendly, durable, and IP68 water and dust resistant.

Mate 30 and Mate 30 5G

The Mate 30 and Mate 30 5G both have a 6.62-inch FullView Rigid OLED display with a 2340 x 1080 resolution and a 19.5:9 aspect ratio.

Just like the Mate 30 Pro differs from its 5G version when it comes to processors, the same applies to the Mate 30 and its 5G version. The Kirin 990 chipset is paired with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage on both versions.

The Mate 30 duo have a 40MP f/1.8 SuperSensing primary rear camera which is paired with a 16MP f/2.2 ultrawide angle camera, and an 8MP f/2.4 telephoto camera with OIS. There is dual-LED flash, a laser focus sensor, and a color temperature sensor too.

The Mate 30 and Mate 30 5G pack a 4200mAh battery and also support 40W wired charging. Thankfully, Huawei has also added wireless charging this year instead of via an add-on case. They also support 27W wired charging and not a slower charging speed but no reverse wireless charging. It keeps the audio jack and also has an IR sensor.

The Mate 30 duo run EMUI 10 based on Android 10. They are available in the same colors as the Mate 30 Pro with the 5G version also having Vegan Leather variants.

Huawei Mate 30 Pro is all set to meet us a couple of hours later in Munich, Germany. Just before its official launch, the phone has surfaced again in a bunch of beautiful hands-on images. These pictures not only reveals the wide notch on its display but also confirms a bunch of specifications.

We can see that the Mate 30 Pro comes with a pretty wide notch on top of its 6.5-inch display. The bezels aren’t very thick, which is a good sign. Also, the screen looks beautiful as the curve extends to the sides, which is a peculiar design of the waterfall display. These images also confirm most of the phone’s specifications.

The Mate 30 Pro will come with a 6.53-inch OLED display with 2400 x 1176 pixel resolution, 8GB + 128GB and 8GB + 256GB storages, Kirin 990 chipset, and a quad-camera setup consisting of two 40MP cameras, one 8MP ultra-wide-angle camera, and a 3D sensor. This image confirms that the primary f/1.6 40MP shooter, as well as the 8MP wide-angle camera, will have OIS. There will be a 4400mAh battery with 40W fast wired charging and 27W wireless charging. Other features confirmed by these pictures include an 8.8mm thick body, 198 grams weight, EMUI 10 right out of the box, and IP68 certification.

We pretty much know everything about the phone before its official release later today. So, we now wait for the pricing and availability of the device in the next few hours.

Chinese tech titan, Huawei is set to launch the highly anticipated Mate 30 smartphone lineup which will be unveiled at an event in Munich, Germany today. Like the Mate 20 lineup, Huawei is expected to launch three variants of the smartphone which could be the dubbed the Mate 30, Mate 30 Pro and Mate 30 Lite. Hours before the official announcement, Ishan Agarwal, a known tipster has revealed both the specifications and image renders of the Huawei Mate 30 Pro.

Huawei Mate 30 Pro Design and Specifications

According to the source, the front of the smartphone features a 6.53-inch FHD+ display that has a wide notch up top. Noteworthy, the display on the Mate 30 Pro has an unconventionally steep curvature at the sides which extends to the left and right edges.

The rear of the Mate 30 Pro seems to be made out of glass panel which houses the quad-camera module, an elongated flash, and vertically engraved company branding. As observed with the previously launched P30 and Mate 20 lineup, the rear of the upcoming device also has a gradient back. Going by the images, it will be offered in four color options which include Blue, Green, Black, and Purple.

— Ishan Agarwal (@ishanagarwal24) September 19, 2019

Under the hood, the Mate 30 Pro will be equipped with the Kirin 990 SoC which succeeds the Kirin 980 released last year. In terms of memory and storage, it will be offered in two variants which are as follows:

• 8 GB + 128 GB
• 8 GB + 256 GB

The smartphone will be powered by a large 4,500 mAh battery which supports 40W wired charging and 27W wireless charging. It is reported to run on EMUI 10 which is built on top of the latest Android 10.

In terms of optics, the Mate 30 Pro has an f/2.0 aperture equipped 32 MP selfie camera which is housed in the notch above the display. As previously mentioned, it features a quad-camera setup on the rear which is comprised of the following sensors:

• 40 MP (f/1.8), Super Wide Angle for video
• 40 MP (f/1.6), Wide Angle for image
• 8 MP, Telephoto
• 3D ToF

The smartphone will support a plethora of camera features, some of which include HDR, Panorama, Night mode, and high-speed photography.

Other key features of the device include 3D face unlock, IP68 rating, DCI-P3 colour gamut, and screen sound technology which, as the name suggests, allows it to emit sound from the display.

All in all, the alleged images and specifications of the smartphone seem legit. However, in order to confirm them and obtain other details including the price and availability information of the Mate 30 Pro, we will have to wait for the official launch which is set for later today. You can read our Mate 30 rumour roundup from here.

The post Full Specs of the Mate 30 Pro revealed ahead of Official Launch appeared first on Gizmochina.

Just two days are separating us from the launch of the Huawei Mate 30 series. The new line-up from the Chinese giant will include four variants: Huawei Mate 30, Mate 30 Pro, Mate 30 RS Porsche Design and Mate 30 Lite. Just like every year, when a new important flagship series is about to launch, a lot of leaks and rumors surface, revealing all the main specifications and features of the upcoming devices. That is why we know almost everything about the Huawei Mate 30 series.

Here is all you need to know about the new line-up ahead of the launch. Given that the Mate 30 Lite will probably be a re-branded Nova 5i Pro for the global market, we will focus on the Mate 30 and 30 Pro.

Design

Huawei Mate 30 and 30 Pro will have a brand new design way different from their predecessors from the P30 series. The rear side will house a circular camera module including several sensors, while the front panel will differ depending on the variant. The vanilla Mate 30 will have a classic flat display with a small notch, while the Mate 30 Pro will come with a new waterfall display that will offer side controls. It will be a screen with an extremely curved side and it will include a wider notch housing additional sensors for 3D face unlock.

According to the latest renders, there will be four color options at launch: Blue, Black, Purple, and Green. Huawei Mate 30 RS Porsche Design will lack the circular housing for the camera and it will feature a black narrow strip that goes from the top towards the bottom. On at least one of the devices (Mate 30 Pro), there should also be an IR blaster and a volume slider touch bar. Unfortunately, there will be no 3.5 mm headphone jack on the Mate 30 Pro, but the phone will come with IP68 certification for water and dust resistance.

Display

Usually, the Mate series comes with better displays than the P series. But we expect different display quality depending on the variant. Huawei Mate 30 is tipped to come with a lower Full HD+ display resolution, while the Mate 30 Pro should have a Quad HD+ display boasting a 90 Hz refresh ratio. As mentioned above, the Mate 30 Pro will have a different waterfall display panel with a wider notch, and it will include side controls. The screens will obviously include under-display fingerprint readers. LG is said to supply OLED panels to Huawei for the Mate 30 Pro.

Specs & Software

Huawei Mate 30 and 30 Pro will be Huawei’s first phones to be powered by the new Kirin 990 chipset. It will be the world’s first SoC to feature an integrated 5G modem and it will also come in a cheaper version with 4G only. The mobile platform is built with a 7 nm+ production process by TSMC. Alongside the Kirin 990, on the Mate 30 Pro, there will supposedly be 8 or 12 GB of RAM depending on the variant and up to 512 GB of internal storage expandable with a microSD. Due to the issues coming from the U.S. ban and Android license by Google, the Huawei Mate 30 series will ship without Play Store and Google apps. The phones will still have Android but it will include third-party alternatives to Google apps running on a bespoke version of Android 10. Obviously, 5G-enabled variants will not be missed, given the 5G capabilities of the Kirin 990 chipset. But expect a higher price.

Camera

Just like most of Huawei’s flagships released in the past few years, even on the new Mate line-up, the camera department will be a key feature. Inside the round-shaped camera housing of the Huawei Mate 30 Pro, there will be four sensors with super slow motion support: two of them will come with a 40 MP resolution.

The first sensor will be a Sony IMX600 with an f/1.6 aperture and optical stabilization, the secondary sensor will be a 40 MP wide cine camera, the third one will be an 8 MP telephoto lens with an f/2.4 focal aperture, and the fourth will be a ToF sensor. The phone is even rumored to sport a Xenon flash and a color temperature sensor. With these specifications, it may be the best camera phone out there.

Battery

Huawei Mate 30 will get a 4200 mAh battery, while the Mate 30 Pro will feature a larger 4500 mAh unit. Both will support 40W fast charging alongside a wireless charging technology reaching a max power of 27W. There should even be reverse wireless charging just like the P30 series.

Price

Unfortunately, there is no information about the prices of the Huawei Mate 30 series. We can only tell you that the Mate 20 Pro had a price of about $1,150 at launch, so expect a similar price tag. Just like Apple did, the company might even decide to decrease the prices as after the U.S. ban its sales dropped and the devices will not feature Google apps. The series may release first in China, then it will expand to other markets.

Huawei Mate 30 Launch Date

Huawei will officially announce the Mate 30 series through an event that will be held in Munich, Germany, on September 19. There is no official confirmation about the arrival of a successor of Mate 20 X (the Mate 30 X). In case you missed it, the Mate 20 X was a bigger variant of the Mate 20 (our review here). It is Huawei’s first smartphone with 5G connectivity to hit the shelves and also the first one supporting a stylus with thousands of pressure levels like Samsung’s Galaxy Note series.

Are you interested in the new line-up? Which device from the Mate 30 series are you waiting for? Let us know in the comment section below.

The post Huawei Mate 30 Rumor Roundup: All you need to know about the upcoming flagships appeared first on Gizmochina.

Huawei Mate 30 Pro will be unveiled alongside the Mate 30 on September 19 which is just two days away. As the launch date draws closer, we expect the rumour mill to continue to buzzing with leaks and rumours. The latest leak is a purple variant of the Mate 30 Pro flaunting the front and rear designs. Let’s take a closer look at the design.

The Mate 30 Pro has been rumoured to utilise a waterdrop notch and on other occasions, a wide notch. The leaked images of the device confirm the latter, with the device packing a wider front notch which is said to be narrower than that of the Mate 20 Pro. The notch is said to house three camera sensors – a 32MP main lens, an unknown ultrawide lens and a ToF sensor.

The rear design includes a circular module just like what OnePlus is doing on the OnePlus 7T. ut we must add that Huawei’s looks more premium with a cool circular reflective accent on the glass panel bordering the circular module. It has four lenses inside the module.

An earlier leaked specs sheet reveals the camera setup as a Sony IMX600 f/1.6 aperture main lens with OIS, a 40-megapixel wide-angle camera, an 8-megapixel telephoto lens with f/2.4 aperture, OIS and 3x optical zoom and a ToF sensor. The quad cameras of Mate 30 Pro will be powered by a Xenon flash and color temperature sensor.

The Mate 30 Pro’s bottom edge will have a mono speaker and an earpiece. The power button and volume rockers are on the right side of the display. The device is also said to come with an IP68 certified dustproof and water-resistant and pack a 4500mAh battery with support for 40W wired and 27W wireless super-fast charge. The phone will be powered by a Kirin 990 5G chipset and will run EMUI 10 based on Android 10, the first Huawei device to have Googe’s latest Android fork.

The Huawei Mate 30 Pro is expected to bring along several innovative features. We’ll have to wait for the launch event to get the entire package.

Are you tired of seeing Huawei Mate 30 Pro leaks and teasers yet? Well, too bad, because Huawei has just teased even more features coming to the device on their Weibo page. There are simply no breaks on the Huawei Mate 30 info train, and it seems it’ll stay that way until the launch. For now, let’s take a closer look at these teaser videos.

1. Super Slo-mo Video recording

The first teaser video has a waiter pulling away a tablecloth like you’d see in science projects, but it’s happening in super slo-mo. This one’s an obvious nod to the super slo-mo functionality we’ve heard will be in the new Mate 30 Pro. The Mate 20 Pro had 960fps slo-mo, but rumors are claiming the Mate 30 Pro will feature 7680fps slo-mo, which is crazy.

2. Super Fast Wireless Charging

In this one, a guy who’s doing some exercise in the background manages to inflate a balloon that’s sitting in the foreground without making any contact with it. What’s more, he does it extremely quickly. Not as clear as the last one, but it’s hinting at the Mate 30 Pro’s super fast wireless charging. According to leaks, the Mate 30 Pro will be capable of 25W wireless charging, which is much faster than the current 10W standard.

3. Night Mode

We’re inside a airplane, and one of the passengers decides to open his window. It’s a lot brighter for him compared to everyone else, probably because he has Huawei’s night mode turned on. Night mode has been a staple on many of Huawei’s recent devices, so it’s not surprising that the fan favourite feature is back again.

4. Air Gestures

This one guy is bowling. He walks up to the bowling alley and throws absolutely nothing, but manages to score a strike despite this. This one threw us for a bit of a loop, but we believe Huawei will be implementing some form of air gestures into the new Mate 30 Pro. While they’ve never been a big thing in the past, perhaps Huawei has found a way to make them more practical?

The Huawei Mate 30 and Mate 30 Pro flagships are all set to be announced on September 19. We have been getting a steady stream of leaks about the lineup in the past couple of weeks, but it’s not long now before we finally get to see the actual devices launch. Whether they live up to the hype remains to be seen, but we’re feeling pretty optimistic it’ll be good.

First, evleaks has shared a render showing off the Huawei Mate 30 Pro as well as the Mate 30 in different color options. It looks like both the models will have four colors at launch: Blue, Purple, Black, and Green. These renders further affirm that both the models will come with four rear cameras in a circular housing. Evleaks had already shared the individual renders of both the devices yesterday revealing the front as well. You can check those Mate 30 renders from here.

Apart from this render, we have also got an alleged image showing off the specifications of the Mate 30 series. The image reveals that the standard version, as well as the Pro version, will feature Kirin 990 with DaVinci architecture based NPU. The phones will come with four cameras at the back featuring two 40MP cameras, an 8MP telephoto camera, and a 3D camera.

Both phones come with 40W fast charging along with 27W wireless charging.

Note that the Mate 30 Pro will feature a waterfall display while the regular Mate 30 should have a flat OLED panel.

On September 19th, Huawei will launch the new flagship Mate 30 series in Munich, Germany. In addition to the Kirin 990 series chips, it is expected to achieve major upgrades in terms of CPU/GPU performance, AI computing power, and 5G communication capabilities. The breakthrough on the same point has also become the focus of attention.

Today, a live video appeared on Weibo showcasing some footage of the Huawei Mate 30 Pro in action. The video in the video is consistent with the previously leaked Huawei Mate 30 Pro spy photos. We’ve got the waterfall display and forehead notch, along with a pretty good screen to body ratio.

We’ve also got leaks for a protective case of Huawei Mate 30 Pro. We’ve known and heard for a while now that the new device would be equipped with a new generation of Leica quad-cameras while supporting the periscope 5x optical zoom. This new leak only seems to reaffirm that.

Huawei’s Mate 30 series is set to be unveiled at an event in Munich, Germany on September 19. According to rumors, the Mate 30 Pro will feature a 6.6-inch AMOLED display with Quad HD+ resolution and a 90Hz refresh rate. On the back of the phone will be two 40MP cameras, an 8MP telephoto lens, and a 3D ToF sensor.

Huawei is all set to launch the Mate 30 and Mate 30 Pro smartphones next week. The event will take place in Munich, Germany on September 19. Ahead of the official launch, we have come across a number of leaks giving us a rough idea on what to expect. Now, the latest Huawei Mate 30 Pro leak shows off the waterfall (dual-edge curve) display. 

An alleged picture of the Mate 30 Pro was posted to the China-based microblogging website, Sina Weibo. The image gives us a look at the waterfall display that contours around the edge of the smartphone. The waterfall screen’s curved bezels are far more exaggerated than what’s available on the OnePlus 7 Pro and the Huawei P30 Pro.

The wide notch seen at the top of the display is absolutely huge this time around, and it appears to house a total of three camera sensors. That’s not necessarily accurate though. It may look like a triple camera, but it may actually be a Time of Flight (ToF) system with a light emitter and sensor. The selfie camera resolution is unknown for now.

The post Leaked Huawei Mate 30 Pro image shows off waterfall display appeared first on Gizmochina.

A mysterious Huawei phone with NLE-AL00 model number has been benchmarked on Geekbench. While the benchmarking platform does not mention it clearly, it appears to be fueled by Kirin 990 chipset that was recently announced by Huawei at the IFA 2019 tech trade show.

The Huawei NLE-AL00 is powered by a HiSilicon processor that has a base frequency of 1.96 GHz. At IFA 2019, Huawei had announced Kirin 990 and Kirin 990 5G chipsets. The 5G edition has two Cortex-A76 cores that work at 2.86GHz, two Cortex-A76 cores at 2.36GHz and four Cortex-A55 cores at 1.95GHz. On the other side, the regular version of the Kirin 990 has two Cortex-A76 cores that clock at 2.86GHz, two Cortex-A76 cores at 2.09GHz and four Cortex-A55 cores at 1.86GHz. Hence, it is being speculated that the Huawei NLE-AL00 could be fueled by the non-5G version of the Kirin 990.

The Huawei NLE-AL00 could be an upcoming flagship phone since it is running on the recently announced Android 10 OS. The purported Kirin 990 chipset is assisted by 8 GB of RAM. In the single-core of Geekbench, the NLE-AL00 has scored 3842 points and it has recorded 11644 points in the multi-core test. It is yet to be determined whether the NLE-AL00 is a Huawei or Honor branded smartphone.

A reliable tipster from China has claimed that NLE-AL00 is not the model number of the Mate 30 and Mate 30 Pro smartphones that are scheduled to go official on Sept. 19. Last year, Mate 20 X gaming-centric phone had debuted as one of the first phones with Kirin 980 chipset. So, there is a possibility that the NLE-AL00 could be Mate 30 X or the Honor Vera30 flagship phone. The Honor Vera30 is expected to go official towards the end of the year.

The Kirin 990 is a second generation 7nm chipset and the successor of 7nm Kirin 980 chipset from last year. Built with 7nm+ EUV process, the regular version of the Kirin 990 5G has dual Big Core and a Tiny Core NPU unit whereas the non-5G edition has single Big Core and a Tiny Core NPU unit. Both come with 16-core Mali-G76 GPU, UFS 3.0 and UFS 2.1.

Huawei will be announcing the Mate 30 series of smartphones through an unveil event in Munich, Germany on Sept. 19. Last year, it had introduced Mate 20, Mate 20 X and Mate 20 Pro smartphones. There is no confirmation on whether the company will be announcing Mate 30 X, but the rumor mill has been actively revealing details on the Mate 30 and Mate 30 Pro. A fresh leak that has appeared today has detailed information on the complete specifications of the Mate 30 Pro smartphone.

Huawei Mate 30 Pro Specifications (Rumored)

The leaked specs sheet reveals that the Huawei Mate 30 Pro’s screen measures between 6.6-inch and 6.8-inch and it offers full HD+ resolution of 1176 x 2400 pixels. It sports a ‘Waterfall’ AMOLED display comes with extremely curved edges that is embedded with an in-display fingerprint reader.  It is said that the Mate 30 Pro will carry support for 60Hz refresh rate. The earpiece of the phone is also lodged under the display. The improved Huawei Face ID 2.0 on the Mate 30 Pro is faster and more secure, and it be also used for tracking heart rate and breath rate, reveals the leak.

The post Huawei Mate 30 Pro full specifications leaked ahead of next week’s announcement appeared first on Gizmochina.

At the recently held IFA 2019 tech trade show in Berlin, Germany, Huawei announced the Kirin 990 chipset that will be powering the Mate 30 series that is scheduled to go official on Sept. 19. The launch event for the Mate 30 series will be held at Munich, Germany on the said date. In an interview session after the company’s IFA 2019 event, Huawei Consumer Business Group CEO Richard Yu said that the Mate 30 series will be listed and sold in China first.

The Huawei Mate 30 series is expected to debut with AOSP edition of Android that won’t feature Google apps. Yu has claimed that the company will provide a workaround through which users will be able to manually install Google apps on Mate 30 series by themselves in the international markets.

So far, the rumor mill has revealed that the Mate 30 Pro may come with a 6.6-inch display that offers quad HD+ resolution. It will be equipped with a wider notch and it will be flaunting waterfall effect like extremely curved edges. The handset come may come with an in-display fingerprint scanner and advanced 3D face unlock feature. The wider notch of the Mate 30 Pro is said to be housing as many as three camera sensors.

The newly unveiled 7nm Kirin 990 chipset with integrated 5G modem powers the Mate 30 Pro. The rear side of the phone has a quad camera system that may consist of a pair of 40-megapixel sensors, an 8-megapixel telephoto lens and a ToF sensor. The four cameras of the phone will be housed inside a round-shaped module. The smartphone is expected to arrive with a 4,500mAh battery that may support 55W rapid charging and 30W wireless charging. The company is also expected to release the 5G version of Mate 30 Pro. As of this writing, there is no information available on the pricing of the phone.

Because of the ongoing US trade ban against Huawei, the upcoming Mate 30 series phones will be arriving without any apps from Google. The Mate 30 and Mate 30 Pro won’t be featuring Play Store and other important Google apps like Gmail, YouTube and so on. At IFA 2019 tech event, Huawei Consumer Business Group CEO Richard Yu addressed the media the company is working on a solution to bring Google apps to the Mate 30 series after the launch.

Yu said that the company is looking for possibilities to let users install Google apps on the non-Google version of Android on Mate 30 handsets. He also stated that the process of installing Google apps on Mate 30 series would be ‘quite easy’ because of the open source nature of Android. He added that third party developers have collaborated on bringing Google apps to Mate 30 series owners.

Meizu, a known smartphone brand in China lets users install Google services through its own app store. Huawei could be working on a similar solution for the Mate 30 series and forthcoming mobile devices. It could be a good solution for bringing Google apps on Huawei devices, but side-loading can result in security issue. Last year, cyber criminals offered malware through Fornite app that required users to install it by side-loading.

Yu said that the company was aiming to achieve shipments of 300 million phones in 2019 if the US trade ban was not imposed on it. The executive stated that it was targeting shipment of 90 million in the last quarter of the year prior to the sanctions.

In related news, Huawei’s Mate X foldable phone was expected to go official in August. However, its arrival has been delayed for reasons best known to the company. Yu has said that the company release the Mate X as early as October or in November. There is a possibility that the company may also release a more powerful Kirin 990 chipset edition of the Mate X.

The Mate 30 series is scheduled to go official on Sept. 19. The first market to receive it will be China. The Chinese firm may release leather-clad edition of the Mate 30 series.

Huawei has recently confirmed that it will be launching the Mate 30 series of flagship phones on Sept. 19 in Munich, Germany. PriceBaba has teamed up with reputed tipster OnLeaks to share renders of the upcoming Huawei Mate 30 Pro smartphone. It has also shared the key specs of the smartphone.

Huawei Mate 30 Pro Renders

The Huawei Mate 30 Pro renders show that it will be boasting a premium design as it features a glass rear like the predecessor Mate 20 Pro smartphone from last year. The rear panel has a new circular housing for the quad cameras that are arranged in 2 x 2 grid. The left corner of the rear shell has the unit for the dual LED flash, a sensor and Leica brand name.

The Mate 20 Pro measures around 158.1 x 73.6 x 8.7mm and the thickness of the device increases to nearly 9.7mm at the camera bump. The front panel of the phone features a display with reduced notch. Since the curved edges of the screen appears to flow over the sides, it is dubbed as ‘waterfall’ display. The tipster has claimed that the exact size of the screen could not be measured because of the curved edges. However, it is speculated that it could be sporting a 6.6-inch display. The reduced notch could be equipped with as many as three front-facing cameras and some other sensors. The publication did not confirm whether the phone supports 3D face unlock. Also, there is no confirmation on whether it is equipped with an in-screen fingerprint scanner.

There are no volume buttons on the device and the power key can be seen on the right edge. There could be a touch-sensitive area above the power button for controlling the volume. The bottom edge of the phone is equipped with a SIM tray, a USB-C port and an external speaker. An IR blaster and microphone can be found on the topside of the device.

Huawei Mate 30 Pro Specifications (Rumored)

Rumors surrounding the Mate 30 Pro has reveled that it will be fueled by Kirin 990 chipset that includes a 5G modem. The new SoC is expected to go official at the IFA 2019 tech trade show on Sept. 6. The camera setup of the Mate 30 Pro could include a pair of 40-megapixel lenses, an 8-megapixel lens and a 3D ToF sensor. It could be housing a 4,500mAh battery that carries support for 55W rapid charging and 25W fast charging. The phone will be running on Android, but it may not feature Google apps because of the ongoing trade ban imposed by US.

Last week, a leaked poster revealed the Huawei Mate 30 series will come with quad rear cameras in a circular housing with a huge bump. That bump is said to be as a result of smart cases which will bring additional features to the phone. We talked about the cases here which we think will not be limited to the Mate 30 series but also other Huawei phones and Honor phones too.

The Huawei Mate 30/30 Pro will feature cameras co-developed with Leica, two of which are 40MP sensors. It will also have triple cameras in front housed inside a notch, an in-display fingerprint scanner, a Kirin 990 processor, and an IR sensor. It will also have a display that curves to the sides at an angle close to 90°. Huawei also recently received certification for a new wireless charger that can charge at 25W.

However, while the Huawei Mate 30 series will be announced in Europe first, it may actually not be available for purchase outside China for a while as Google as said the manufacturer isn’t licensed to launch the phones with official Android and Google Play services due to the trade ban.

Ever since the US trade ban, Huawei’s global sales have taken a hit. The company’s market share and shipments in Europe have declined and it looks like its global prospects are still uncertain. The temporary license that was granted to the company back in May has been extended. But considering how it applies to only existing products, the brand’s new models like Huawei Mate 30 series are going to be affected by this trade ban.

The Mate 30 series is the first major flagship lineup from Huawei after the trade ban came into effect in May. The phone is set to take on the likes of the Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ and the upcoming iPhones with a powerful camera setup and a waterfall display. However, the phone’s global prospects look dim as South China Morning Post reports that Huawei could delay the global release of the handset due to the trade ban.

While Huawei has been scrambling to stabilize its supply chain with non-US based replacements, the software is one area where there aren’t any viable replacements. Essentially, Android is an open-source platform, so the Mate 30 series could use an unlicensed version of the OS. However, without Google Services onboard, which has become a very important aspect of Android for international users, global sales are definitely going to take a hit.

Even if Huawei decides to use its self-developed HarmonyOS, that still doesn’t solve the issue of the lack of Google Apps. So for now, HarmonyOS doesn’t look like a viable solution to the problem. If we don’t see a change in the current situation between the US and China, Huawei will have to be prepared to take a significant hit in its overseas sales.

It could offset some loss with a more aggressive China strategy. In fact, a recent Canalys report indicates that nearly 64 percent of Huawei’s global sales were from China in Q2 2019! We could see this figure further go up very soon as Huawei aims to grab nearly 50 percent of the market share in China by the end of this year, up from 38% right now.

The post Huawei Mate 30 Pro global release likely to be delayed appeared first on Gizmochina.

Huawei is expected to unleash the Mate 30 series of flagship phones in the latter half of the September month. Couple of leaked shots of the front panel of the purported Huawei Mate 30 Pro and the actual device have appeared in the recent past to reveal its display design. Two new photos of the same phone seem to have appeared today to reveal its front and rear design.

Just like the real image of the Mate 30 that had appeared in the previous week, the new image shows the handset enclosed in a case to conceal its identity. Hence, it is not clear whether the phone shown in the images belong to the Huawei Mate 30 or Mate 30 Pro.

A closer look at the display of the phone shows its pronounced curvature towards its edges. A recent leak had revealed that the Mate 30 and Mate 30 Pro will both arrive with dual-edge curved displays. However, the Mate 30 Pro will have a curvier screen than the Mate 30.  Probably, the handset shown in the new images could be the Mate 30 Pro. A closer look at the top portion of the screen reveals the presence of a wide notch that could be housing all kinds of sensors for 3D face unlock, front camera and so on.

Shown below is the first real shot of the rear side of the purported Mate 30 Pro’s back panel. The rear cameras are completely hidden by the case, but a long LED strip along some other sensors seems to be present alongside it. It matches with the below shown case renders of the Huawei Mate 30 Pro.

The recently spotted Mate 30 Pro case renders had revealed that the phone will come equipped with a round-shaped camera module with three lenses and a square-shaped LED flash inside it. However, the long strip does not seem to appear like LED flash. It also suggested that the phone will continue to sport an in-screen fingerprint reader.

In terms of specs, the rumor mill has so far revealed that the Huawei Mate 30 Pro will be housing a 6.71-inch display with quad HD+ resolution support. The 7nm Kirin 990 chipset that is slated to go official at IFA 2019 tech trade show next month could be fueling the smartphone with up to 12 GB of RAM. The handset could be equipped with a 4,200mAh battery that supports 55W fast charging and fast wireless charging. For photography, the phone could be featuring a pair of 40-megapixel sensors on its rear. Huawei is expected to unleash the Mate 30 and Mate 30 Pro on Sept. 19. Hopefully, the company may also unveil the massive Mate 30 X as the successor of Mate 20 X. As of this writing, there is no proof on its existence.

Huawei Mate 30 series is expected to meet us in September this year. So far, rumors have revealed that the phone could turn out to be quite powerful, just like its predecessor. The phone is expected to feature the new generation Kirin 990 chipset with a powerful camera setup at the back. However, it looks like the upgrades won’t just be limited in the camera and processor department. The Mate 30 is now being rumored to come with the world’s fastest wireless charging.

According to a popular blogger in China, the Huawei Mate 30 flagship smartphone will come with support for 25W wireless charging. This would beat Xiaomi Mi 9, the current leader in this department featuring 20W fast wireless charging support. In comparison, the newly announced Galaxy Note 10+ comes with just 15W wireless charging, which isn’t really bad but it will be way slower than the upcoming Mate lineup.

The Mate 30 is already shaping up to be a powerful smartphone. It is expected to feature the new Kirin 990 chipset with two 40MP cameras (one primary and another wide-angle) along with other sensors at the back. It should come with Android Q based EMUI 10. There are also rumors about the Lite version coming with the newly announced Harmony OS.

The rumor mill is now actively spilling information on the upcoming Huawei Mate 30 and Mate 30 Pro flagship phones. The Huawei Mate 10 series was made official in October 2017 and the Mate 20 series was announced in October 2018.  Hence, Huawei fans have been expecting that the Mate 30 series may go official in October this year. Citing information from Huawei Consumer Business Software President, Dr. Wang Chenglu, a Russian tech blog has reported that the Mate 30 series will be debuting on Sept. 19.

According to the publication, Chenglu has revealed that the Mate 30 and Mate 30 Pro will be powered by the Kirin 990 chipset. One of the major features of this new SoC is that it will consume less energy. The Mate 30 series will come preloaded with the latest Android Q OS overlaid with the latest EMUI 10 skin. The publication has claimed that devices will not come preloaded with Google services due to the ongoing conflicts with the US authorities because of the trade ban.

The rumor mill has already leaked that Huawei’s next flagship chipset for mobile devices i.e. Kirin 985 will again be a 7nm product. Probably, the same SoC could be made official as Kirin 990. The SoC is expected to come bundled with a 5G modem. This suggests that the company may sell 5G editions of Mate 30 and Mate 30 Pro as well.

While the Mate 30 series may go official on Sept. 19, their 5G editions may come around December. So far, the rumor mill has revealed that the Mate 30 Pro has a massive 6.7-inch display with 90Hz refresh rate. The display will have extremely curved edges and it will feature a wide notch to house the complex sensors of 3D face unlock. The rear shell of the phone may include a triple camera unit with two 40-megapixel sensorsv. The battery of the Mate 30 Pro could be coupled with 55W fast charging. The Mate 30 is expected to arrive with slightly weaker specs than the Pro model.

Recent reports have revealed that the upcoming Huawei Mate 30 Lite will be the first phone from the company to arrive with its Android alternative HarmonyOS. Probably, the Mate 30 and Mate 30 Pro units in China may also feature the new OS from the firm.

The upcoming Huawei Mate 30 Pro has been spotted again. The leaked image shows a woman holding the Mate 30 Pro at a subway. The design of the phone is not clearly visible since the phone is enclosed in a protecting case. However, the design of the display can be seen clearly.

The new image shows that the Huawei Mate 30 Pro has a display that curves towards the edges. There is a wide notch at the topside of the display. It could be housing some complex sensors for 3D face unlock. The leaked screen protectors of the handset that had appeared in the past month had also revealed that it will be arriving with a wider notch.

Since the Mate 30 is also expected to arrive with a curved-edge display and a wide notch, it is difficult to say whether the handset that has appeared in the leaked image is the Mate 30 or Mate 30 Pro. Last year, the 3D face unlock feature was only available on the Mate 20 Pro handset. This year, the Mate 30 and Mate 30 Pro phones are both expected to arrive with support for 3D face unlock.

Rumors surrounding the Huawei Mate 30 Pro have revealed that it will be housing a 6.71-inch display with quad HD+ resolution support and in-display fingerprint scanner. The upcoming 2^nd gen 7nm Kirin 985 chipset is expected to fuel the Mate 30 and Mate 30 Pro handsets. The SoC could be assisted by up to 12 GB of RAM.

The Mate 30 Pro may house a 4,200mAh battery that may possibly come with 55W rapid charging support. A newer leak has revealed that the Mate 30 Pro will be featuring a 40-megapixel 1/1.5” RYYB sensor with f/1.6 to f/1.4 variable aperture, another 40-megapixel lens with 1/1.7” sensor and 120-degree ultrawide field-of-view with cine lens features and a telephoto lens with 5x optical zoom support. Rumors are rife that the Mate 30 Pro will be equipped with a quad camera system. Hence, the fourth one could be a 3D ToF (Time of Flight) sensor. Huawei may announce a 5G version of the Mate 30 Pro. The Mate 30 series of flagship phones are expected to go official in October.

The Huawei Mate 20 Pro launched with triple rear cameras – a 40MP primary wide-angle camera, an 8MP telephoto camera with 3x zoom, and a 20MP ultra-wide-angle camera. Its successor, the Mate 30 Pro may come with two 40MP cameras according to a new leak.

Twitter user, @RODENT950, who is known for his Huawei and Honor related leaks, revealed the possible camera configuration for the Mate 30 Pro. According to him, the phone will have a 40MP 1/1.5” RYYB sensor with a variable aperture of f1.6 – f/1.4. It will also have a feature called Cine Lens which can be enabled while recording a video. Huawei applied for a trademark for “Cine Lens” a few weeks ago.

The second camera is another 40MP camera but this time it has a 120° ultrawide angle lens and an f/1.7 aperture. It also has the Cine Lens feature too for those times you want to record videos with the ultrawide angle lens.

The third camera is an 8MP telephoto lens with 5x (optical) zoom. This is most likely the same periscope camera as that of the Huawei P30 Pro. It should have up to 50x digital zoom too. There is no mention of a fourth sensor which is most likely a ToF sensor.

The Huawei Mate 30 Pro should launch in October. When it does, it is expected to come with a new type of screen called “Waterfall Display” which has both sides curved (greater angle than we have seen on curved displays) such that there are practically no side bezels at all.

Huawei is expected to unleash the Mate 30 and Mate 30 Pro flagship phones in October. Since the launch is few months, the rumor mill is now actively working on leaking information on the Mate 30 series. Yesterday, some live shots of the Mate 30 Pro had surfaced on Weibo to reveal that it will be featuring a wider notch that could be packed with multiple sensors for Face ID like the predecessor Mate 20 Pro. Fresh images of the screen protectors of the alleged Mate 30 and 30 Pro smartphones have appeared today. The leak reveals that even the Mate 30 phone will be equipped with a wider notch. The trail production of the Mate 30 series has started.

In the above image, the Mate 30 screen protector is shown on the left whereas the one on the right is for Mate 30 Pro. In terms of design, both seems to be equipped with dual-edge curved displays. Hence, it appears that the Mate 30 will be the first non-Pro Mate series flagship phone to feature a curved display. The curvature on both screen protectors are slightly different. The Mate 30 Pro is said to be equipped with COP (chip-on-plastic) technology for its display.

Compared to the notch found on the Mate 20 Pro, the Mate 30 series seems to feature a narrower notch. The bottom bezel of the phone is also quite slim. A careful look at the notch on both images suggest that Mate 30 and 30 Pro have slightly different arrangements for the sensors.

The multiple sensors on the notch of the Mate 30 and Mate 30 Pro phones could be for the 3D facial unlock like the predecessor Mate 20 Pro phone. The images of the protective film have surfaced because the film manufacturing factories have started producing it. A leakster has claimed that the screen protector of the Mate 30 series is the most difficult surface film in history. He has also said that the Mate 30 Pro has entered trial production phase.

Rumors have so far revealed that the Mate 30 Pro will be equipped with a 6.71-inch display that will produce quad HD+ resolution. The smartphone could be fueled by Kirin 985 chipset and it may come with up to 12 GB of RAM. The Mate 30 Pro could be packed with a 4,200mAh battery that may arrive with support for 55W fast charging. The handset could be blessed with an advanced quad camera setup. There could be a 5G version of the Mate 30 Pro. As of this writing, there is no information available on the specifications of the Mate 30 handset.

The Huawei Mate 30 Pro is not expected to launch until 3 months time but a new leak has revealed what the phone looks like. The new leak is a set of live photos posted by Ice Universe (original source now deleted) that show us the Mate 30 Pro ahead of its release.

In the photos, we see the Mate 30 Pro alongside some other devices. There are actually two units of the phone in the images and both are in a case that hides their rear design but which give us a good look at the screen which is said to be called a “Waterfall Display”.

1 of 3

The Mate 30 Pro’s display is curved on both sides so there practically aren’t side bezels. The top of the display is home to a notch – a long but narrow notch that packs the front-facing camera and a bunch of sensors. A previous leak showed the phone’s screen protector and there are a plethora of sensors, some of which should be for a highly secure face identification system.

The images also show the phone has a pretty thin chin which should contribute to a higher screen ratio.

The Huawei Mate 30 Pro should launch in October and be the first to be powered by the yet-to-be-announced Kirin 985 processor. It is reported to have a 6.71-inch QHD+ screen which draws power from a 4200mAh battery. It is also said to support 55W fast charging which is much faster than the upcoming Galaxy Note10 Plus’ 45W fast charging.

The Mate 30 Pro will have a quad-camera setup on the rear and will launch alongside a non-pro model. There will also be a Mate 30 Lite which has already been certified by TENAA and should launch soon.

Huawei is expected to announce the Mate 30 series around September this year. As usual, the rumour mills will be kept buzzing with leaks concerning the device. Over the past few years, the Mate 30 Pro has always stolen the show and this year isn’t going to be different. A leaked screen panel said to be for the Mate 30 Pro shows the device will adopt a rather unique design.

The screen panel shared by popular Twitter tipster @Iceuniverse shows the device will have curved sides with the curvature almost making an angle of 90°. The device is expected to utilise a 6.71-inch OLED panel which will probably make holding the phone without your palm touching the side of the screen impossible. That shouldn’t be a problem, though, as it will likely be taken care of with Palm rejection feature.

This leak is in sync with a recent report from Huawei’s factory which says the company is experimenting with a glass unibody, which will join the curvatures of the front and back glass panes. We could see that materialize on the Mate 30 Pro. However, we have no idea how Huawei hopes to take care of the side capacitive keys. With a curved edge glass panel, there isn’t a chance the device will have physical keys. That can only happen if the manufacturer wants to make the device bulky which isn’t going to happen. It is possible the device will use virtual buttons on the curved edge.

In addition, the tipster also shared an image showing the silhouette of the Mate 30 Pro’s notch and it is a big one. At a time, fans are looking for notch-less phones, this may be disappointing to some.

In October, Huawei is expected to launch the Mate 30 series of flagship phones. Reports in the past have claimed that the Mate 30 Pro will be equipped with a rectangular camera module on its rear. However, a leaked render that showcases a round-shaped module with four camera lenses have surfaced today. Also, the display design of the phone has been revealed through another leaked image.

A leaked photo of the glass back panel with a large-sized round cutout had surfaced earlier this week. Today, a leakster from China that is known for sharing vital details on upcoming Huawei phones has released a leaked render of the Mate 30 Pro. The color of the device is similar to the Emerald Green edition of the Huawei Mate 20 series.

The four camera lenses and LED flash are placed in “X” shape. The image reveals that the phone will be equipped with Leica engineered SUMMILUX-H lens and it will offer 5x optical zoom.  As of this writing, there is no information on the camera configurations of the Mate 30 Pro. It goes without saying that the camera module of the handset has a very sophisticated appeal.

Also, a leaked image of the front panel of the Mate 30 Pro are now being circulated on Weibo. The top bezel of the phone is blurred in the image because of which it is difficult to determine whether it features a notch or not. The display is curved towards the left and right edges. The bottom bezel of the phone appears really thin compared to the predecessor model. This indicates that the Mate 30 Pro will offer higher screen.

Last year’s Huawei Mate 20 camera with a display with waterdrop notch whereas the Mate 20 Pro featured a larger notch on its display. The wide notch of the Mate 20 Pro housed complex sensors for 3D face recognition. Rumors surrounding the Mate 30 Pro have claimed that it won’t feature 3D face unlock. Hence, it is likely to sport a waterdrop notch or a center positioned punch-hole like the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Note 10 smartphone.

Rumors surrounding the Mate 30 series have claimed that it will be powered by 7nm Kirin 985 chipset. With Balong 5000 5G modem onboard, these phones are expected to carry support for dual-SIM dual-standby 5G connectivity like the upcoming Mate 20 X 5G edition.
