![]() ![]() The case also offers another benefit: it prevents the rear of the P30 Pro getting covered in fingerprints, for which it’s something of a magnet. It’s an eye-catching look which was well received by everyone we showed the phone off to. Our review unit came in Breathing Crystal, which sees the rear boast a pink/green/blue pearlescent finish which changes with the light. However, those in the UK won't get this in the box. Huawei appears to be aware of this, sort of, as in some markets it provides a translucent silicone case in the box with the phone, providing some much-needed grip and light protection while not spoiling the design. Even those with larger hands will find it a little tricky to handle, as the all-glass finish provides little in the way of grip. It’s still a large and tall device though (it tips the scales at 192g), and those with smaller hands will struggle to use the P30 Pro one-handed. The Huawei P30 Pro measures 158 x 73.4 x 8.4mm, making it thicker than both the Galaxy S10 Plus and iPhone XS Max, but it feels thinner and narrower than you might expect thanks to the curved edges of the screen and the curved rear glass. The overall aesthetic is one of premium styling, and as well as looking good it feels classy in the hand. The screen, and the protective Gorilla Glass glass covering it, are now curved, allowing for a slimmer-feeling profile in the hand, and a look which is very similar to that of the Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus.

Once set up though, the scanner works with great accuracy and speed. Setting up fingerprints on the scanner is a little time-consuming, with a number of scans required for each digit you register – we’d recommend both thumbs and forefingers for ease of use. Huawei has stripped back the bezels above and below the screen to the bare minimum, reducing the size of the notch at the top of the display to just what’s required to house the front camera, while at the bottom the fingerprint scanner is embedded in the display, allowing the screen to extend further to the base of the handset. The Huawei P30 Pro design has been developed and refined over the handset it’s replacing, the Huawei P20 Pro. The Huawei P30 Pro is widely available from major carriers and retailers in the UK and Australia, while those in the US will find it difficult to get hold of as the firm’s handsets aren’t officially stocked in the country. ![]() In Australia you only get the choice of Breathing Crystal and Aurora, with no 512GB version. We'd expect to see that price drop lower as time goes on, and it's likely we'll see some deals for the handset around Black Friday and Cyber Monday.Īs well as Amber Sunrise - aka an orange/red - (exclusive to the 512GB model), the 128GB P30 Pro is available in Breathing Crystal (our light blue/purple review unit), Aurora (a darker blue/purple finish) and Black. Now the Huawei P40 Pro is official, we've seen the price of this handset drop to around £600 / AU$899. The Huawei P30 Pro price started at £899 or AU$1,599 (around $1,140), making it one of the most expensive handsets on the market, matching the price of the Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus, but it was cheaper than the iPhone XS Max. Now it's lower, but not hugely discounted.Huawei P30 Pro price started at £899 / AU$1,599 for 128GB model. ![]() Huawei has gone from strength to strength in recent years, and the P30 Pro is its most accomplished smartphone to date.
