The rumours and leaks has finally been put to an end as the Huawei P30 is officially announced. Though it does not come with the 5x periscope zoom camera like its big brother Huawei P30 Pro, it still have some other decent features to offer. The phone is the first vanilla variant of a Huawei flagship with AMOLED panel and under-display fingerprint reader, with three cameras on its rear. See some other key features, full specification, and price in Euros of the Huawei P30.
Huawei P30 Features
The Huawei P30 runs i=on Kirin 980 chipset
paired with various RAM and storage (depending on the variant you buy). The RAM
and internal storage variants are; 6GB/128GB, 8GB/64GB, 8GB/128GB, and
8GB/256GB. All the internal storage can be expanded further via a Nano memory
card slot used for the second SIM slot. This simply means that you have to
ditch one of your SIM card for an expandable memory. The phone has a 6.1 inch
display with Full HD+ resolution, tall ratio and no curved edges. It is a
completely flat screen.

The main
camera of the Huawei P30 is a 40MP
Super Sensing unit – a Sony IMX600 sensor with custom RYYB color filter for
superior low-light performance. There is also an 8 MP f/2.4 telephoto lens with
3x optical zoom and 16 MP f/2.2 17 mm ultra-wide snapper, complete with the
Leica branding. The camera setup is completed by a dual-LED flash and laser
autofocus. The waterdrop notch on the display houses a 32 MP F/2.0 front-facing
shooter, which is sadly still fixed focus.
The Huawei P30 is covered in glass both on
the front and back, but it lacks wireless charging. The 40W charging is also
reserved for the Pro version, but the classic Super Charge
that goes as high as 22.5W will still top the 3,650 mAh battery reasonably
quickly.
