Lucky. It’s €1054 in the UK.here in The Netherlands we can get the P30 Pro for €670 with the Sonos One and a wireless charger... Tempting
Don’t know where you’re getting it from but cheapest I’ve seen the P30 Pro 128gb in Europe is €999. Sure you’ve not got it mixed up with the regular P30?Wow, how bizarre is that difference
They’ve been caught doing things they should not, and as with Samsung, their earlier products were highly derivative of Apple’s designs, to put it politely. But I’m not going to turn this into a thread bashing them on their shady practices. They legitimately did a beautiful job with this presentation and it’s much more fun to talk about that.
That orange color is stunning. Huawei knows how to have fun with colors.
DXO mattered here at MacRumours right up until Huawei started winning
then it suddenly stopped mattering.Anything Huawei does very well does not matter here.
The problem with DXO is that it gave preference towards devices with optical zoom capabilities, thus automatically gave phones without one a disadvantage. I mean the iPhone XR's main camera is the same as the XS/XS Max, but it gets lower score due to the lack of telephoto lens. Yet the fact that the XR/Pixel 3 can be so close to the P20/Note 9 means to me that their overall picture quality from the regular lens is already very good.
[doublepost=1553672540][/doublepost]Huawei devices are great, but imo they're not perfect. My main issues with them mostly:
- Bang for buck. If you get one when it's on a flash sale or something, then they're great, but with MSRP, Xiaomi and other Chinese OEMs offer better bang for the buck when comparing the same price points.
- Too many Huawei analytics/apps on EMUI that I personally feel not needed. Even Xiaomi don't seem to be as intrusive.
- Not supporting as many VoLTE carriers as Xiaomi
- Even with their bragging about their camera, Huawei still doesn't properly support Android Camera2 API, making it hard for other camera apps to take advantage of the hardware.
Their positive sides:
- EMUI sips battery very lightly. It's either quite efficient or very aggressive in keeping power hungry apps down.
- Huawei tends to be generous in storage, offering 128GB for even mid range models where others only tops out at 64GB.
- Their night mode camera can be quite astonishing.
As for the P30, I'm not as exciting as they are flagship with flagship prices. Things are more interesting when Huawei is trying to compete with the likes of Xiaomi, so models like the Honor View and Huawei Nova series get my attention more as they are offering most of the flagship features (including chipset) for less.
its a trick with one of our Dutch mobile carier; you order the phone with a mobile subscription which you can already end after 1 month of usage, the trick is you pay the phone fully and after receiving the phone you end the subscription directly.
So in the end you only pay a total of €668 for a €999 phone

Looks like a beast of a phone, and reasonably cheap here in NZ.
The Note 10 better be a beast of a phone too as this phone has me piqued.

My husband got his P20 Pro from a highly rated seller on Amazon but he doesn’t recall who and it doesn’t readily show up on order history.
That's not entirely true...... Personally......I have no interest in Huawei phones....so why brag about the great DXO scores when I have zero interest in getting one?DXO mattered here at MacRumours right up until Huawei started winning

I think Huawei are doing great things with cameras on smartphones.
They'll be getting them in soon. They usually get stock within about a week of the release date.

This makes me look more forward to the Mate 30 Pro.
However cannot wait to get my hands on the P30 Pro next week.

@Aneres11 no interest this year? I know last year you were really into the P20 and P20 Pro. I assume it's due to you being happy with your S10.
I haven't even looked at these properly yet at all.
I will give a proper look at them later tonight and see what I think.
Really pleased with my S10 so will take a lot to get me away from it!
