Huawei P30/P30 Pro

Da Optimist · 20-03-2019 7:54pm #1

Will be launched in less than a week. Supposed to blow the S10 and pixel 3, iphone out of the water. Camera is almost on par with a DSLR. It doesn't come cheap either with the Pro expected to start at €999.

Who is holding out on the S10 for this?

possible 10 optical zoom - pretty mad for a phone.

getting more and more expensive though.

Gatling · 20-03-2019 9:12pm

Still don't think it's going to be much of an jump over the P20 pro to warrant jumping on ,

Holding out for this one on upgrade on Eir
Mind you specs look very similar or even identical to the mate 20 pro??

the high optical zoom seems to be the big difference.

new Kirin cpu won't come out until the next mate pro phone.

Have been waiting a while for these. But was hoping for headphone socket, alas rumour says only the P30 will have one, not the Pro. Also rumoured not to be 5G , which is a shame as I would have hoped to have this phone for 2-3 years

Decent pre-order offer again from Huawei. Will either be Sonos One and Wireless charger or the new Watch GT Active and Wireless charger.

Was better last year with Bose QC 35II.

Apparently confirmed as the GT watch sport which shipped with some retailers selling the P20 pro a few months back ,

Interesting feature is the split screen showing the image from 4 cameras one zoomed in and one at normal focal length

Which one would you go for the P30 pro or Mate 20 pro?

MarkY91 · 23-03-2019 1:39pm

Finally a thread. I was just about to make one.

I have the S9 and plan to wait for the full details of this during the press conference before deciding on the S10 or P30 but I am bored of Samsung and don't think they're really innovative lately.

Main reason I am so interested in the P30 as the P20 camera looks amazing, supposed to be 7x or 10x zoom in the P30!!! Jesus!!!

biebiebie · 23-03-2019 3:02pm

Sounds like a good time to buy a P20 Pro if there isn't that much of a difference apart from the camera zoom?

Da Optimist · 23-03-2019 6:54pm

The P20 Pro hasn't come down in price for months though and can't see it dropping much when the P30 Pro comes out. It's currently around the 650 mark.

It's not on prepay but you can get the p20 pro for free on Tesco mobile for 40 a month on a 24 month contract.

Might suit some people. Pretty good deal once Tesco give you decent coverage in your area.

dan786 · 25-03-2019 11:03pm

Huawei have posted Irish preorder video on Facebook. Free Sonos One speaker, has to be claimed after purchase by 2nd June.

MarkY91 · 27-03-2019 1:11am

Surprised there is no chatter here a out the new phone.

Anyone getting it?

I'm still turn between the S10 and P30.

MoodeRator · 27-03-2019 9:49am

I'm waiting to see the pricing on Three. But the Pro is top of my list right now

I see the Vodafone pricing is up. €279 on the 60 a month contract from them.

I'm just out of contract with Vodafone so am tempted to go for it, but will wait and see if Three undercut it.

All things being equal, not sure whether I'm too pushed on the Sonos speaker though. Would have preferred the new Watch.

dan786 · 27-03-2019 10:42am

Only 839 on prepay from VF. Not bad. You get Sonos as well which will bring cost down. P20 Pro was 799 on release.

MoodeRator · 27-03-2019 11:11am

I would be of similar thought regarding the Sonos, as I have the original Hauwei watch and love it, so the new one would have been great!

From Carphone Warehouse
PRICING
SIM FREE: €949.99
EIR: €349 on a €69.99 a month plan or €54.99 a month plan. €499 on a €39.99 a month plan. €949.99 on prepay.

THREE: To be confirmed.

VODAFONE: To be confirmed.

MoodeRator · 27-03-2019 11:18am

ok Three are up

€529 on 30 per month
€399 on 45 per month
€269 on 60 per month

dan786 · 27-03-2019 11:42am

Love the Three Prepay pricing 779 for Pro and 579 for P30. Sell Sonos on and you have a P30 for 400 or Pro for 600. Not bad for a flagship comparable to S10 and S10+

rizzee · 27-03-2019 11:51am

When is the official release date for this? Three's price 50/60 quid cheaper than VF I wonder do they come unlocked? Are they Dual Sim?

dan786 · 27-03-2019 12:04pm

Official release is 5th April

Great. In on pre pay with three.

Are the sun free? The dual SIM will be vital for me when traveling abroad.

All Huawei pre-orders that I have ever bought from Three came factory unlocked. Include P30, P30 Pro and Mate 20 Pro.

kave2 · 27-03-2019 12:22pm

Screen resolution is only 2340 x 1080. That's quite a lot worse then Mate 20 or Galaxy s10.

MoodeRator · 27-03-2019 12:30pm

Now to find a nice case for the pro. Anyone with suggestions?

Add in what you get for your old phone too. In my case..the S9.

Basically a free P30 or Pro for €200

MoodeRator · 27-03-2019 12:52pm

Just see the pro doesn't appear to come with a wireless charger

another item on the shopping list (along with a case and screen protector)
