They only finished building phones in China this month.
Wonder what attracted them there in the first place
Chinese people deserve to have jobs and make a living. They are amazing people with amazing culture. Its the authoritarian government and SOE's that need a shakeup.
Cannot deny the CCP are at best are adverse to our Democratic societies and freedom of expression. If they have those laws in China they can enforce them there. The issue is their repression is spreading to western companies and censoring of people outside of China... Money over lives is never good.0 -

i dunno....had mine now a couple of months - p30 pro....and very mixed feelings on it.
main positive i would say is battery life...really good.
but, coming from an s8+....and at a bit of expense to upgrade, what with new contract, cases, earphone adapters, etc...i sometimes, quite a lot of sometimes, find myself missing the old s8+
the s8+ didnt have battery life as good as this..but in other ways it felt superior......this screen on the p30 pro is amoled, but it feels like a cheap budget screen in comparison, just duller and less vibrant.
the s8+ always took a good photo for me....but me being easily influenced was very smitten by the youtube reviews of the p30 pro and especially the optical zoom, i had to have it....i find that in any poor light, or slightly low light, indoors for instance, the p30 pro takes a washed out photo...hard to explain..but faces will be dark and monochrome looking...anything with a light source behind it really throws exposure off in a way that it didnt with my s8+ (which took decent low light / indoors photos).
can never seem to get a good portrait photo on p30...my s8 with single camera did better....i try aperture mode mode too...always seem to have blocks around subject not blended correct.
i find the optical zoom only good on anything static...a building or such...anything moving like a dog and motion blur is an issue...i find just cropping a regular photo produces better results with anything moving.
there are times the p30 pro takes superb photos, but only in ideal conditions....i do use pro mode, but maybe in fairness i could use it better than i do.
i find typing on the p30 pro i often hit the navigation bar at the bottom of the screen in a way that never happened on my s8+, which i cant really figure out why that is, what i am doing different...same keyboard / settings too...gboard.
accidental touches to the side of the screen bug me sometimes too on the p30 pro, which never happened on the samsung.
i had to go through adb commands to disable 'power genie' as i couldnt figure a way of stopping screen dimming...developer options and transition effects to 0 helped somewhat but it still was there.
had issues with missing headphone jack, but that is no negative to the p30 pro as i knew it going in...tried bluetooth earphones, but none could match my wired ones in sound quality, and charging the things is a niggle...but i got usb adapters that work well so far.
anyway....it does have great battery life
.....i must say on the camera, i think i found it better before the last .193 update...but maybe its only me thinking that.....emui 10 will be out next month, or whenever we get it here...that may make differences to photos, it'll have a new camera interface anyway so maybe other camera differences too.
oh..and, although i dont use it - only for novelty effect - the desktop mode is outstanding, what it can do wirelessly in that mode is astonishing.
thats my experience with it so far.0 -

Ok I went for it.
Got the phone for a retention special €62 plus VAT. 2 year contract at €45 p/m + VAT, but as a reward for being a loyal customer that was reduced to €35 p/m + VAT.
Contract issued showing a 12 month term - sweet.
Oh and I sold my old but good P20 Pro to CEX for €160.
When you do the math the new phone will cost me €180 plus VAT, less the €160

Sounds like Eir? I got a similar plan and payed same for the phone.
All Google apps are there. Apparently this phone won't be affected but I'm not too well up on all that jazz so hoping Google remains0 -
