Awesome review... I have the huawei mate 20x, well i’m a huawei user for some years, and this one, such as the p30, brought the wide angle , and for some one who loves photography these phones are the best for an all round use in photography. Cheers from Portugal
Pretty sure Android 10 was released to them over the last week. According to Android Central - www.androidcentral.com/huawei-p30-pro-starts-receiving-stable-android-10-update-europe
@@aaronshoyt I disagree about him pushing people away. He is very impressed with the capability of these phones, bought them so why would he try to push people away? I think it's more the case that he is not aware.
Hi Ted, Huawei just started pushing OTA update to Android 10 for the P30 & Mate20 series... They will still have the full software/security support, only the future models won't(apparently)...
Great video as always! Just a slight correction: Android is not Google's property. It's open source, with thousands of contributors worldwide, among which are all the major manufacturers (including significant contributions from Huawei). Google provides it's own services and apps on top of Android, including the Play Store, and that is what was affected by the block, not Android.
I have 2 sisters, my younger sister has a P30 Pro and my other sister has an iPhone 11 Pro and all I can say is that the P30 Pro is better for stills, portraits and low light but the iPhone 11 Pro is better for video.
Wait until you try the Mate 30 Pro video mode... It blows the iPhone 11 Pro out of the water. Google the Huawei presentation of the Mate 30 Pro and you'll see what I mean))
When you say things in public you'd better investigate more before. P30 series updates frequently and have already got Android 10. All the huawei phones that were in market before the ban will update normally.
Except we did get Android 10 and it's still fully integrated with Google services. P30 Pro is the last to be supported for now however. The Mate and as far as we know the P40 will NOT support Google services. But the P30 Pro does now have Android 10, Google services, and is set to get Android 11 as well next fall. Definitely need to update this video so as not to misguide folks, a lot of tech reviewers have no idea what the situation with Huawei actually means. Even though it's easily found.
My Huawei P30 Pro got android 10 last month. This phone was released before the ban, so will continue to be supported with the google play store & get firmware updates.
FYI, it works on Verizon. I've been using it with Verizon since it was released earlier this year, but you have to mess around with the APN settings of the phone.
Haven't had my hands on these particular models, but find it worth noting that previous models generate depth maps that are embedded in jpg taken in 'portrait' mode. Using free third party software such as stereophotomaker you can extract these, and then use them as masks for all sorts of cool depth related purposes in e.g. photoshop.
I'm sure they're great tools, but I'm happy with the photos I make with my midrange phone. Would the image quality be better with either of these? Sure would. Would the photos be better? Not so sure about that... I need to upgrade the photographer first.
Good review! In hindsight, they did get android 10 (EMUI 10) and these are getting security updates (at least here in sweden) Now ab the difference in the P30 and P30 Pro is apart from the telephoto lens is that the P30 Pros main 27 mm has OIS while the P30 does not have it. I dont know how big of a deal that is though.
Thank you for the analysis of the P30 series camera. It is a pity that there is no US version of the phone. In my region we do have this series, and I myself bought a P30 (I simply don't like curved screen, and the P30 already meets all my needs). Boy, this phone is a blast, I am telling you! Elegant design, ideal size, and the camera is truly a killer! My colleagues all compliment about the quality of the images, and I have now become the photographer of the company. 3 months of intensive research for a phone is totally worth it!
Try the macro, pretty incredible. I don't know of any other phone that can get that close. Amazing content on this channel! Also, Don't forget you can buy these in Canada with same power supply as US.
All Huawei phones released before the "ban" will be supported with security updates normally. Will of course get Android 10. Therefore there is not any kind of issue with P30 and P30 Pro. They work and will work like a Samsung or a Pixel. On top of that, Huawei is very quick and sharp with the Android monthly security updates.
With a more usable camera software maybe (- ability to save exposure and mode settings, - user settable minimum shutter speed for iso automatic in action shots during changing light conditions).
I have the Huawei P30 pro for 6 months, and I think the US-China problem has been resolved after China threatened to stop iPhone production in return. The phone is very reliable and the cameras are brilliant, especially the telephoto and the low light performance.
LOL it has not been resolved and Apples problems with Huawei is not a concern for the American government. Apple supports about 4 million jobs in China, so China would stand to lose if they banned Apple. All indications are that the US government is going to take further action against Huawei
EDIT2 11:00s "EMUI" is just the interface layer above the operating system, in this case Android. EMUI works fine in their own operating system, and for what they talk, most of Android made applications were work in their Harmony OS but to avoid further problems now they just need to be recompiled. And don't confuse brand (a famous app) with function (what the app does) --- EDIT1: btw, if you don't know there's a quirk on Huawei's software. If you shoot on "Pro Mode" (all settings can be at auto, don't matter) with JPG+RAW enabled, the processing applied to the JPG is different, with less heavy handed processing, resulting in a more natural output. It's a shortcut for those who don't want to edit the RAW for better results. ---- Seriously Ted? You make this video with this claim not that the Mate 30 Pro is already stabilished on the market was the real "king"?
My P30 Pro got the update today. Rocking Android 10. Really like the new camera interface. Btw you should have talked about the monochrome mode on the camera. It's a dedicated mode by Leica. It shoots better quality then the colour mode. Also the Ai feature on the camera works really well even for a purist like me I started to use it more often then Pro mode. Go get the update and make a new review 😉
Guys, I have this phone. It got the Android 10, it has Google Play store, don't worry about that. Cameras are amazing and everything else works perfectly well! I have one thing to say, from my experience, this phone is tough! I dropped it few times and once it fell on the screen and it did not shatter. It fell from the pocket height so that might be luck. but other day I accidentally dropped it in bathroom it fell on tiles and AGAIN it landed right on the screen!!! It sounded really bad but again, it didn't shatter! So, this phone seems to have very tough glass. A big plus! Still, maybe I was lucky so, take a good care of your P30 Pro just in case ;) I need to be more careful too, obviously
Great review Ted! Personally, I think that if one is worried about security concern, he should be as worried when using Google Android than others who have their own built their own OS over it or even a totally new Android OS. To most users the real questions will be the App store. Sure enough business is business and I can’t really see any issue why a company, even those in the US, would exclusively offer his Android software via the Google Play Store. “If they build it, they will come”. It will be call the “Huawei Store”. One question though: "Will it be as secured as the Google Store?" While Google as a good reputation for filtering malicious Android Apps there’s no real proof as to how all Google Apps are malicious or not… Oddly enough the most secured Apps we used nowadays are Open Source. I just wish there was Open Source hardware and an Open Source Android Shell in phones and tablets. Thanks for reviewing the Huawei P30 and P30 Pro. I owned a Huawei BTV tablet and I found that there were some glitches when Bluetooth. Hope this isn’t the case here.
My cat came over to watch this video together with me. She seems to know your voice. 😸 Those pictures are quite impressive. I’m a long term iPhone user. So I won’t switch. Still have the 6S. Once it gives up working I‘ll buy the newest version available. Hopefully that camera will be better than the actual one.
Hi Ted! I recommend you do a further research about the issue between Google and Huawei regarding the use of Android. Certain phones (like the recent Mate 30 Pro) doesn't have the "approval", whereas other models like the P30 duo, due to their date of launch, are OK to have the license to use the Google Play Services. That's why they are actually spreading the Android 10 update with EMUI 10. I haven't had any software issue with my P30, I've been using and updating all sort of apps, while with the Mate 30 duo you won't find the play store and any kind of Google service (you have to sideload them, but it has errors). Best regards from Colombia 🇨🇴!
@Dennis Tienesen yes there's news, Wilbur Ross just released the info a week ago that license was going back to Huawei and that companies could start working with them again.
I own this phone and I really think the camera is the worst I’ve ever had. Any time there is a slightly high dynamic range the photos look like an overcooked HDR. Skin tones always seem to look like I’ve pushed a clarity slider to the max. I don’t know how the software works but it felt like they were trying to get too much info from the image, as if it opened all the shadows and closed down all of the highlights, the pictures all lacked contrast. But when the scene all fell into a small dynamic range the photos were actually quite good. But still not a patch on the iPhone and nowhere near the old lumia 1020.
125mm (35mm equivalent) is very impressive and useful in areas where no conventional cameras are permitted but somehow smartphones cameras are tolerated. However Huawei with the very useful apps of google play store is doomed. That's a sad fact for such an innovative company. USA presidential elections are coming next year and the hostility against Chinese companies may change. There is hope.
Great video, but you got a few things wrong. P30 and P30Pro will get the new android 10 and also android 11 (maybe even 12) with all Google services becouse Huawei ban doesn't apply to these phones. Also you didn't mention Leica, which is a big deal for cameras in Huawei phones. And in the end Night mode is better then on the Pixel, it produces cleaner and sharper images with less noise. :)
Are you sure it will get Android 11? The only thing that holds me back from buying the P30 Pro is the fact that I don't know if it will get future android updates
Sorry but the DNG-Files the P30 Pro delivers are heavily vignetted and underexposed. The Pixel 3a DNG quality is so good in comparison, that I confused them with pictures from my Canon G1X Mk III in Lightroom - easy to post-process too. I was really disappointed by the P30 Pro since it is a good phone but the camera department is a real bummer.
If you're reviewing Pixel 4 would love to see night modes compared with the P30 Pro (on Android 10 when it does get it ;) it does good night shots on standard mode too. The light trails and silky water are worth showing off if you do any more videos with these. (there was even a version released after Trump's ban which still had Android as it was technically the same phone model, albeit upgraded). If Trump goes maybe the ban will too...
Probably for photographers only who know how to play around with the pro settings and how to edit professionally. For the everyday user I think the iPhone 11/11Pro, the Gakaxy Note 10/10+ and the Google Pixel 4/4XL are superior.
Mr Forbes what is best for portrait of someone and to blur the background, those portrait shot of people with a boheh blurred background are my favourite, what does this the best between the Huawei P30 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro.
Very disappointing. I had to return my P30 Pro. Skin tones were horridly green, to the point of being unusable. Add to that P30 Pro's mono speaker and I decided to stick with my P20 Pro.
I have had the P30 pro only for a short time , i`m still trying to decide whether to put the sim back in my galaxy note 9 and use the P30 pro as a paper weight or stick it out and keep using it and hope it grows on me , i`m sure if you are a keen long time iphone user you may appreciate the similarity between emui and ios . As a long time android boy , i have to say , i think it is ....... Insert swear word here ... awful , but that is just me . Even the phone general layout and operation feels a bit clunky and awkward compared to my note 9 . i bought the P30 on its camera reputation being a hobby snapper , So far i have been a bit underwhelmed by the camera in some circumstances and utterly blown away in others . Given the general feel of the phone ( i just do not like it ) and the opportunity to have that cash in my pocket again , i`d probably look elsewhere regardless of some of the camera good points .
You can get them in Canada. side note, this Huawei BS is just that BS..The CEO Meng Wanzhou, is in custody in Canada for U.S. "security" issues...But here in Canada we can still buy and use them, no restrictions 🤷♂️
108mps doesn't make it a better camera phone. There's more to it. For a processor to write a 108mp it needs to be fast, and Note10 doesn't have a flagship processor, it takes time to process the image and write it to the storage. Not to mention all the software processing that goes into smartphone photography which MI doesn't do all that well. Sure it would have a lot more pixels due to the bumped up res but the quality still isn't good. Look at some reviews online. The sharpness isn't all that good anywhere that's not the center. Its like Marques said, maybe next year when big companies like Samsung get the 108mp sensor they could use it in conjunction with their software processing and resources to really use it to its true potential
@@mjaimk My point wasn't how much better it is. I've seen several reviews for it and know how it fares. I just brought it up because of how extreme it has gotten. K?
User who already bought and use mate 20 series unnecessary upgrade to p30 series Then User use p30 series unnecessary upgrade to mate 30 series etc who had mate 30 series no need buy a new 📱.
Yes, it does. And for the new phones that dont: you can manually download and install the Google services yourself. It's just not pre-installed, that's all as far as I know :)
I’m glad you mentioned Huawei’s controversies at the start of the video. Most other tech reviews simply choose to omit that stuff. As a Canadian, those controversies go even further and have affected some of us directly through escalated trade problems and blocking our crop exports. It’s a complicated situation but I can say I don’t plan to support Huawei.
Don’t consider any Huawei the best camera phone, some good features like crazy zoom, but the colours never look natural to me on photos and videos.you want the best of both get the iPhone 11 Pro or for photos the pixel 3 or 4.
Great video Ted, I really enjoyed your "Smartphone Cameras Explained" video back in August, it has been an easy share when the subject comes up in online conversations about phones vs. Cameras I thought about getting one of these huawei phones specifically and only as a capture device for online content, I know the P20 Pro does take incredible images also. There is a member of a Facebook Group, I Love Toronto, who posts P20 images from time to time and even when compressed by Facebook's converter there is something about the clarity and detail of the images that stands out immediately and becomes more noticeable the longer you look. I'm curious what your thoughts, if any are with the Xiaomi Mi Note 10 pro
Lol how dumb... There is no proof of huawei doing anything wrong, that's why it was removed from the ban list. Even the Mate 30 will now receive Google Services.

Are you sure it will get Android 11? The only thing that holds me back from buying the P30 Pro is the fact that I don't know if it will get future android updates
@@procyon826 Yes I am sure 100 percent for android 10 and 11!
@@procyon826 Just to let you know that last night I got update to android 10 on my P30 Pro
@@ekspert081 that's great to hear, thank you for the update
They are getting Android 10 officially 🤷♂️
P30 pro is POWER 💪👍👑
I loved P30pro 😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️
Got the p30pro and unimpressed with it. Photos are dark, focus issues. Defnintately would not recommend buying it
Sorry but the DNG-Files the P30 Pro delivers are heavily vignetted and underexposed. The Pixel 3a DNG quality is so good in comparison, that I confused them with pictures from my Canon G1X Mk III in Lightroom - easy to post-process too. I was really disappointed by the P30 Pro since it is a good phone but the camera department is a real bummer.
If you're reviewing Pixel 4 would love to see night modes compared with the P30 Pro (on Android 10 when it does get it ;) it does good night shots on standard mode too. The light trails and silky water are worth showing off if you do any more videos with these. (there was even a version released after Trump's ban which still had Android as it was technically the same phone model, albeit upgraded). If Trump goes maybe the ban will too...
Mate 30 Pro has even bigger sensors.
But does it have DEEPER pixels?
Hahahahaha
Probably for photographers only who know how to play around with the pro settings and how to edit professionally. For the everyday user I think the iPhone 11/11Pro, the Gakaxy Note 10/10+ and the Google Pixel 4/4XL are superior.
Well yeah, but at least here in Europe the P30 Pro costs 650$, while the Iphone 11 and 11 Pro go for 880$ / 1.150$
Mr Forbes what is best for portrait of someone and to blur the background, those portrait shot of people with a boheh blurred background are my favourite, what does this the best between the Huawei P30 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro.
Very disappointing. I had to return my P30 Pro. Skin tones were horridly green, to the point of being unusable. Add to that P30 Pro's mono speaker and I decided to stick with my P20 Pro.
For photography it is one of the best if not the best.
Emui 10 based on Android 10 is coming on December on p30 pro p30 p20 p20 pro.
I have had the P30 pro only for a short time , i`m still trying to decide whether to put the sim back in my galaxy note 9 and use the P30 pro as a paper weight or stick it out and keep using it and hope it grows on me , i`m sure if you are a keen long time iphone user you may appreciate the similarity between emui and ios .
As a long time android boy , i have to say , i think it is ....... Insert swear word here ... awful , but that is just me .
Even the phone general layout and operation feels a bit clunky and awkward compared to my note 9 .
i bought the P30 on its camera reputation being a hobby snapper ,
So far i have been a bit underwhelmed by the camera in some circumstances and utterly blown away in others .
Given the general feel of the phone ( i just do not like it ) and the opportunity to have that cash in my pocket again , i`d probably look elsewhere regardless of some of the camera good points .
I even got Android 10 on my year old Mate 20 Pro.
You can get them in Canada.
side note, this Huawei BS is just that BS..The CEO Meng Wanzhou, is in custody in Canada for U.S. "security" issues...But here in Canada we can still buy and use them, no restrictions 🤷♂️
From another CDN's perspective ... They are unfortunately available in CDA.
@@tonys2957 hehehe, ya I don't have or care for one, I still use an iPhone 4, not even the 'S' ,🤣😂
I'd like to buy a Huawei p30 pro phn. Will it be better than any other phone?
Great review.
Got the mate 30 pro and it's better in every way
For still pictures this or Pixel 4?
The new Xiaomi Mi Note 10 has a 108mp camera. Check THAT out.
108mps doesn't make it a better camera phone. There's more to it. For a processor to write a 108mp it needs to be fast, and Note10 doesn't have a flagship processor, it takes time to process the image and write it to the storage. Not to mention all the software processing that goes into smartphone photography which MI doesn't do all that well. Sure it would have a lot more pixels due to the bumped up res but the quality still isn't good. Look at some reviews online. The sharpness isn't all that good anywhere that's not the center. Its like Marques said, maybe next year when big companies like Samsung get the 108mp sensor they could use it in conjunction with their software processing and resources to really use it to its true potential
@@mjaimk My point wasn't how much better it is. I've seen several reviews for it and know how it fares. I just brought it up because of how extreme it has gotten. K?
That mirror solution for telephoto is very interesting!
User who already bought and use mate 20 series unnecessary upgrade to p30 series
Then User use p30 series unnecessary upgrade to mate 30 series etc who had mate 30 series no need buy a new 📱.
I have the P20 Pro, awesome smartphone. Does the P30 Pro have Google services on the smartphone, I didn't purchase because I wasn't sure?
Yes, it does.
And for the new phones that dont: you can manually download and install the Google services yourself. It's just not pre-installed, that's all as far as I know :)
@@FFehse-dk9is I use p30 it has
@@aralcubukcu Same here. I also have a P30. Have you received EMUI 10? I have not, I am in Viet Nam.

How about the google services?
This is all wrong man... Android 10 is already being pushed out, I don't know why you said they won't update..
Thanks
I’m glad you mentioned Huawei’s controversies at the start of the video. Most other tech reviews simply choose to omit that stuff. As a Canadian, those controversies go even further and have affected some of us directly through escalated trade problems and blocking our crop exports. It’s a complicated situation but I can say I don’t plan to support Huawei.
Huawei is by far the best camera phone out there.
I wanna get one. 😊😊😊😊😊
But budget cant
Please get the Mate 30 Pro and review it :D
Such a shame about the OS.
Who's watching this on p30 pro? Like
I do. Plus here in Italy I had mine for only 80€ and 13€ for 30 months and the phone works very well
Android 10 has just been released on this, any device that was out before the ban will still receive all updates
Don’t consider any Huawei the best camera phone, some good features like crazy zoom, but the colours never look natural to me on photos and videos.you want the best of both get the iPhone 11 Pro or for photos the pixel 3 or 4.
Agree
Great video Ted, I really enjoyed your "Smartphone Cameras Explained" video back in August, it has been an easy share when the subject comes up in online conversations about phones vs. Cameras I thought about getting one of these huawei phones specifically and only as a capture device for online content, I know the P20 Pro does take incredible images also. There is a member of a Facebook Group, I Love Toronto, who posts P20 images from time to time and even when compressed by Facebook's converter there is something about the clarity and detail of the images that stands out immediately and becomes more noticeable the longer you look. I'm curious what your thoughts, if any are with the Xiaomi Mi Note 10 pro
SUPREME TO ALL OTHERS SMARTPHONE
Camera aside, if you want to send your hard earned $$$ supporting a company that flaunts the law ... Your choice. IMHO, a deal with the devil.
Lol how dumb... There is no proof of huawei doing anything wrong, that's why it was removed from the ban list. Even the Mate 30 will now receive Google Services.
@Durian Durian Well said, these americans think they are heroes while they are getting humiliated in every war.
I use the P30 and definitely, is so good in those files 👍🏽
