Huawei Unveils P30 Series

During an exclusive launch event in Paris, Huawei unveiled its new flagship smartphones, P30 and P30 Pro. P30 devices are built on the series DNA in design and photography and represent the company’s most advanced series of smartphone cameras.

These devices feature the SuperSpectrum Sensor, an optical SuperZoom Lens, a new Time of Flight (ToF) Camera, and enhanced optical and AI image stabilization technology. With these technologies, the P30 and P30 Pro capture high quality photos and videos in almost every scenario.

“The P30 Series is a fundamental breakthrough after decades of digital camera technology development; it will rewrite the rules and reshape everyone’s perception of mobile photography. Innovations such as the SuperSpectrum Sensor and SuperZoom Lens allow us to push the envelope of both photography and videography, a frontier long overdue for disruption. The P30 Series will set the pace for the next generation of smartphones by empowering people to capture the true beauty of the world around them through a device that fits in the palm of their hands,“ said Richard Yu, CEO of Huawei Consumer BG.

P30 Pro already achieved a record-high overall DxOMark score of 112. It is equipped with a new Leica Quad Camera System, including a 40MP main camera with the SuperSpectrum Sensor, a 20MP ultra-wide angle camera, an 8MP telephoto camera, the ToF Camera and a 32MP front camera.

The 1/1.7-inch  SuperSpectrum Sensor deviates from the traditional RGGB Bayer filter by replacing green pixels with yellow pixels, yielding a high maximum ISO rating of 409,600 on the P30 Pro and 204,800 on the P30. This shift in sensor technology, combined with AIS, OIS and the the device's f/1.6 wide aperture, delivers hih quality experiences across a wide range of scenarios and lighting conditions, including extreme low light.

The P30 Series is powered by the 7nm Kirin 980 processor, features an Extendable Read-Only File System (EROFS) that improves system responsiveness and has the latest EMUI 9.1. P30 Pro features a 4200mAh battery and 40W SuperCharge that charges a device from zero to 70 percent in 30 minutes. P30 Series is equipped with a suite of advanced wireless communications capabilities supporting Dual SIM and Dual VoLTE connectivity.

Huawei P30 will be sold for 799 euros and will be available with 6GB RAM and 128GB storage space. P30 Pro with 8GB RAM and 128GB storage will cost 999, 256GB storage version  will be available for 1099, and 512GB model will come with a price of 1249 euros. The devices will be available in April.
