Huawei Mate 30 Pro 8/256GB Singapore

Huawei’s Mate 30 Pro is Huawei’s latest flagship that comes packed with some amazing features. But it’s lack of Google support lets it down. But here’s what makes the Mate 30 Pro great.

The Mate 30 Pro is one of the few phones to sport the waterfall display. And this isn’t a notch thing, it’s a display thing. You’ve seen phones with a curved display, but have you seen a curved display that replaced the volume rocker button? That’s the waterfall display.

The Mate 30 Pro has a 6.53-inch OLED display with Corning Gorilla Glass 6. It has a notch on top that houses the camera. The design of the Mate 30 Pro in one word is futuristic. It has a metallic, reflective finish and especially the silver coloured version looks amazing.

The cameras are housed in the back and it’s a 3-camera setup that we will get to. It runs on Hisilicon Kirin 990 which is a super powerful chipset with 8GB of RAM and 128/256GB of storage.

It’s the first phone to have the Mali-G76 16 core GPU. Coming to the cameras, the triple camera setup is a 40MP wide angle lens, 8MP telephoto and a 40MP ultrawide camera.

This is a 3D TOF camera with leica lens. It has the best ultra wide camera in the world with the best low light shots. Very quick image processing and very goo portrait mode.

The front camera is a 32MP shooter with excellent camera quality that’s hard to beat.

Powering this is a 4500 mAh battery that easily lasts for two days. Even with heavy use, you can easily use this phone for a day.

The major issue with the Mate 30 Pro is external, that is not in Huawei’s control and that is the lack of Google’s services which makes it practically impossible to use the phone.
