Huawei P30/P30 Pro

Cienciano

Some regions seem to include a clear case, I didn't get one. Onto amazon to get one. Definitely getting a clear case for this. No 3 branding at all on the startup.

Thought I ordered Breathing Crystal but received black. I was thinking of exchanging but there is only return and ordering a new option, so won't qualify for Sonos if I return. If anyone wants it for the cost price, please let me know. You will still qualify for the free Sonos though I might have to claim it, but you can collect it off me once I receive.

I will return on Monday if no interest.

Bought from Three. Located in Dublin 6.

That's unfortunate because the breathing crystal looks fúcking amazing.

I know. Misfortune that I made a huge mistake. The colour was a deciding factor for me. I have to return it due to this.

+1 on the crystal! But afraid to use it yet as my case will not arrive for another few days

I hope you got a clear case.

Hard plastic back or the flexible one?

I would go with hard back. I had the flex on my HTC and it offered no protection at all. Dropped phone about 2 foot and suffered my first ever cracked screen

They removed the Crystal one few days back as it was sold out. Even Vodafone just have black now. I got mine from Three.

Sonos have to be claimed through Huawei but you cant do it until 18th April:

Does the p30 pro have a factory fitted screen protector on?

Has anyone tried a second sim? Is it 100% confirmed to be single SIM?

Didn't get to try a 2nd sim but the model number is VOG-L09 which sadly is single sim.

Still in two minds as whether I'll keep it or send back.

I've ordered that one.

Zoom on the camera is pretty amazing. Obviously digital zoom, but still impressive.

How do you find the zoom over 10 i'm finding the periscope zoom is quite all over the place.

Just got my black p30.
So it's single sim, Virgin mobile sim works, has factory protective film on screen.
I went for flex case, had it on all my phones and never had a screen cracked or other issues.

Small review:
Not impressed by the colour, think I should've went for a different one but I didn't like the crystal, so not many options. Feels kinda cheap material compared to my old s7 edge but it's really really fast.
I dislike the positioning of the camera, it sticks out a lot and I'll definitely scratch it in 2 days. The ultra wide it's just amazing.

314375 points in AnTuTu after update with Performance: On.

Decent phone. Doesn't feel too big and the zoom is amazing but portrait mode on th selfie camera doesn't do anything. There is no bokeh effect at all.

MoodeRator

I believe I read on the Hauwei site that some camera effects will be dependent on an OTA update they have planned

It's wobbly, is that the image stabilization probably wouldn't use any digital zoom for actual photos tbh. I'd just use the bigger zooms for showing off to my mates.

Anyone know if you can get rid of the NFC icon in the status bar?

If you swipe down you can turn it off in that menu.

I want it on though. Last phone had no icon for it in the notification bar even though its on. Problem is, its permanently on so no need for a notification. Same with Bluetooth

MarkY91

Great phone and all but no dual SIM is useless to me.

So I'm sending it back to Three in Monday but if anyone wants it for €780 before then, then I'm happy sell as it means I won't have to go through the refund process and you will be getting to claim the Sonos speakers.

Win win situation for anyone interested.

Can meet in Dublin 1, 2, 7, 8, 12.

Again..I'm posting it off on Monday if I get no interest.

According to guys here, it is unlocked. But I personally used a three SIM so I don't have actual proof of this.

What's the finger print sensor like?
