REVIEW

VERDICT

The P30 Pro not only sets a new standard for Huawei, it sets a new standard for the entire mobile industry. Its four rear cameras are quite simply astonishing, the design is eye-catching and the power plentiful. It’s a true flagship smartphone.

FOR

• Fantastic cameras
• Eye-catching design
• Plenty of power available

AGAINST

• EMUI still lacks class
• Display 'only' Full HD
• Design offers little grip
