Huawei P40 5G vs Huawei P30 pro - Huawei P30 Pro Questions & Answers

I want to upgrade Pixel 2 XL and confuse to choose between these two models. P40 5G cost slightly more( £37.50 per month) than P30 Pro( £35.50 per month) but coming with free Huawei G 2 (46MM) watch and normal P30 is cheaper than all ( £29.50) per month. My priority is a good camera, speakerphone etc coming from Pixel 2 XL. P30 Pro has some advantage when it comes to speakerphone, design, waterproofing IP68 etc But is camera of P40 any better than P30 pro?

P30 pro best phone I've had
P40 no Google support

I agree, using p30 pro for over year, so happy going to buy p30 pro NE, as looks like photo quality on p40 pro not much better, and no google support killed this phone for me as using for work too, and at the moment p30 pro NE comes with gt2e watch..

I have watched some videos and camera quality seem much better on P40/P40 pro and p30 pro new edition is very much same phone ..How is the speakerphone on p30 pro? Is sound comparable to Samsung/Pixel/Iphone ?

I am happy with speaker, not use it often for music as I use headphones or use portable speaker, but many reviews and people complain that is only single speaker and could be louder.., but for me is fine, if I want louder, I use portable speaker ..

Then go for latest and greatest - P40
i love my P30 pro, and i can assume that P40 is better, so go for it.

You neither can use your phone to pay with NFC.

Have a look at the Huawei app galley and see if you can live with what is there. I suspect that although you don't use Google there will be plenty of stuff that you can only get from the the Play Store. However if you're OK with the App Gallery then go P40.

If its the p40 pro you are referring to and not the regular P40, go with the P40 pro
The obvious benefits are better processor, longer support for Android updates as well as better screen 90 hertz.

S10 Plus or P30 Pro

After a 30 days im still thinking which phone to get.
I have now Mate 20 Pro and I can give my phone and 200EUR for S10 Plus or P30 Pro.
Yes I know difference between them on paper. But how is in really life? I read here on XDA they are so many people who used P30 Pro and S10 Plus.
So please what are you think of this two phones? What at end is better to choose for you?
P. S. Im heavy usere, and I love camera. I know that they said P30 Pro is better in photos and S10plus in video, but they are post by people who wrote that P30 Pro video is not far behind S10 Plus and etc...
I am grateful to everyone who helps. And please tell your honest answers if you used both phones. Without Huavei or Samsung fans.

I currently have both the S10+ and P30 Pro. For my use, the P30 Pro battery life makes all the difference. Being able to use the phone all day and stilll have 30-40% battery available when I go to bed is is amazing. With the S10+ I would have battery anxiety starting around 8 pm. I'm not that concerned about the P30+ lackluster video performnace and still hope a software update will make it better.
So how much is bad P30 Pro video? (i see some videos comparisons but thats all was when P30 Pro have pre-release software).
What about photos?

Its not all bad... just doesn't have 4K 60FPS & a true slow motion mode at high resolution... I don't video a lot and 1080p usually meets my needs...
As someone put it, it's about the whole package... Battery, photo camera, design, etc.
Does the phone do some things exceptional and other stuff not so much, yes...
Overall, at least IMO and my use case, best phone on market currently...
Its subjective and if you have never had a Huawei device, going from Samsung or other, it maybe a bit jarring especially EMUI because you have to do a lot of settings changes to get it to do everything at times the way you want it to... I however enjoy the ability to change some much.... Most of the changes relate to the phone keeping the best in class battery performance, so if I want to make a change at the cost of battery life, I like being the one making that decision and not the other way around.
Other minor annoyances have a purpose behind them... but they are only annoyances if it bothers you for your use case and not understanding the reasoning (which most times is actually well thought out)
I haven't enjoyed an Android phone so much that it has me looking for the next thing.... I really could care less about the OnePlus release already knowing it won't top the P30 pro's camera... Same possibly with the Note 10... that means until the new Pixel phone come into more focus or the new iPhone, I won't be changing... for myself to keep a phone for that long is unheard of in this disposal android market...
I had S10+ nice phone but battery was terrible. Very happy with p30 pro
Considering you already have the mate 20 pro, I would wait for the mate 30 pro as the change from mate 20 pro to p30 pro is a minor upgrade.
P30 Pro is very nice Phone and fast look this vs SD855

Not worth the upgrade coming from a Mate 20 pro. I'd definitely recommend waiting for the Mate 30 pro

Better build quality, better screen, better video recording (4K 60fps/HDR), stereo speakers, Samsung Pay, MicroSD expansion, better UI, better front cameras, headphone jack, etc.
Three things I like more about the p30 pro...
Battery life, low light performance and the zoom capabilities.
Did someone have both phones, so he can take same several photos in day light and x5 and x10 zoom.
So we can compare it.
Thx a lot

Don't get me wrong, all that is good to have it. And to bad that phone in 2019 don't have all of that.
I know the P30 Pro have good battery, better then S10Plus. Im interested in camera now.
When you watch on YT there's so much paid youtubers. I need to know from people who have bout phones.

I do actually have both - an Aurora Blue single SIM P30 Pro and a Prism White dual SIM S10+.
No point comparing the zoom though, as the S10 only has 2X and anything else is just basic digital cropping. The 5X zoom in the P30 Pro is fairly poor quality in my personal opinion - you can get decent enough shots in bright light but the dynamic range is a lot poorer than the main lens, there's a lot more fringing and it just isn't as sharp. The 10-50X zoom is fun, but ultimately the pictures are unusable but for anything other than the gimmick factor. The wide angle lens is better on the S10 than the P30 Pro, and in my opinion you get a much more reliable 'snapshot' front he S10+ when you don't want to think too much. Things like focus speed and overall ability to grab an action shot are just (IMO) better on the S10+
Battery life is almost identical for me but I switch off Huawei's power management for most apps via Settings, Battery, App Launch. If I don't do this then apps like Google Photos and my security camera software simply don't work properly - even apps that use audio playback (for videos) when the screen is off get switched off by default after a few minutes in EMUI. This brutal battery management is why Huaweis have such good stamina out of the box, but once you disable it and ensure all your apps work properly then the difference becomes negligible. Remember that there's only 100mAh more capacity in the P30 Pro.
The software is in my opinion much nicer on the Samsung - yes you can hide some things with Nova Launcher, but the little touches like the slicker notification popups, the more user-friendly lockscreen, the more slickly designed notification area, Edge Lighting etc make for a nicer day-to-day experience to my mind. I even like the fact that you can turn off the fingerprint unlock indicator on the S10+; on the P30 Pro the indicator lights up every time you move the phone, as well as every time you unlock (and it's *very* bright at night). I've run a display test and I find that a small patch where the fingerprint scanner resides is slightly shifting in tone compared to the rest of the display, and I'm concerned that this is screen burn caused by regular unlocking.
My S10+ has also had April security for a couple of weeks. My P30 Pro is still on March, despite being released in April (!). I'm not all that happy with Huawei's update reliability, and even to get this March update I had to use a PC.
I will say that Night Mode on the P30 Pro is really good, I like the overall feel-in-hand and it is nice and smooth to use. I still like the P30 Pro but between the two I think the S10+ has the edge - not just for the things I listed earlier.

Huawei p30 pro vs oneplus 7 pro

Hi guys! I'm own a p30 pro 256gb Aurora for 3 weeks and after I saw oneplus 7 pro I have some thoughts to switch..
What u think? Is it worth or not?
What your opinion?
Thank you.
P30 Pro 256gb Aurora Power
Depends on what you want from a phone.
I wouldn't consider a swap myself, but this article details some of the major differences between them:
https://www.stuff.tv/features/oneplus-7-pro-vs-huawei-p30-pro-which-best
What is it you like about the 7 Pro that differs from P30 Pro? I don't see any benefits myself...
I saw a couple video reviews of the 7 pro and the audio quality seems really bad which puts me off. But then again the oneplus will have better root/rom support and has a better screen. I would miss the ultra fast charging of the P30 pro too much to make the switch.. But its preference really.
Does p30 pro supports hdr10+?

I'd hang fire a bit, P30 is awesome but seems like huawei released it 'unfinished'. I think it's true potential will only come to light after a few more updates. I hope so anyway, this was hella lotta cash to have some faulty stuff with it out the box; cartoon wobble issue from front facing cam, red tinge issue, shocking 4k stutter during video panning. Main things for me. However, have taken some of the best pics so far on a smartphone (tried most current flagships), 1080p is good enough and things are improving update by update. I also feel of all the gesture implementations (pixel 3,oplus etc.) huawei nailed it. Hopefully there will be further improvements, enough for me hold on a while yet. If your a root and rom lover op7 gonna tempt you over, won't be long before gcam gives it a boost too. Personally need a phone to work as intended, too much time wasted flashing and putting phone in a less capable state for the sake of some 'enhancement', 'feature'. But yeah, tempted as you maybe, definitely wait a bit, be hard to forgo this camera tech. Have a look into the USB method to get you up to. 153 already. Phone is super smooth after this. Await more cam improvements though. :good:
hi
any new opinions on this topic, I just broke my Honor View 10 and need to replace the phone, P30 pro or OP 7Pro have similar prices (used ones)
P30 pro have better battery life and camera (maybe), but OP 7Pro will have longer support but P30 is getting v2 because of all USA bullcrap and bans ( not sure what that can mean for older P30 and their updates)
P30 Pro is cheaper (used and can find one with 6GB instead of 8GB more expensive variant)
any suggesstions what to get?

Snapdragon 855 > Kirin 980 performance wise but you won't notice much difference in real world. If you're not interested in bootloader unlock/Rooting and stuff and just want a phone then P30 Pro is better. But i personally am not spending on expensive flagships anymore with phones like K20 pro or Realme X2 Pro in market. Personal opinion

P30 pro definitely has a better camera although I don't own one. But if you're just a normal user who doesn't often use camera then K20's camera is more than good enough.

Huawei no longer issues bootloader unlock codes, so if you ever want to flash a custom rom or modify anything else you won't be able to (except for some paid services which kinds defeats the purpose). That's the reason I sold my View 10 and switched to Mi 9T Pro - and I have zero regrets :victory:

These two phones are not comparable to me, as they are very different phones. P30 pro is a flagship device by a premium maker with a focus on phototaking, hence Pxx. It uses Hiaweis own chip etc. Mi 9T Pro is a flagship but for a value focused brand and it is an all rounder.
You can unlock K20 pro.
You can't unlock P30 pro.
Both send your data to CCP.
Both have very very slow updates (Official).
You can unlock K20 Pro.
Also the Huawei P30 Pro is almost twice the price of the MI 9T Pro (128gb), in France at least.
Even the 3rd party code sellers have stopped issuing unlock code.

Main feature differences are:
P30 has SD card slot
P30 has OIS on main camera
9T-Pro has 3.5mm audio jack
9T-Pro has FM radio
P30 has wireless charging & reverse charging
P30 has notch in screen, 9T-Pro has popup cam

Should i buy it after Google ban?

Hello , now i my position i have s9 plus, i am about to change to s10+ or p30 pro , but i am sure i have my fears about p30 pro cause of the ban.
I live in Greece so we dont know anythign about the ban yet or the google apps, they said that they will not stop support google apps but is that for sure?
Maybe i buy it and after 2-3 months or so they stop supporting it.
What do you guys think? should i buy s10+ to have my head clear o i can go for p30 pro?
As someone who was in a similar situation and also had an s9+ and now has a p30 pro I must say my only gripes with the device are as follows:
Fingerprint reader does not work correctly in landscape mode just in portrait mode.
Brightness settings reset to default after phone reboot.
Huawei ID collects your banking information and browser settings and sends it to Chinese authorities as part of their verification process.
Other than this I've been very happy with the phone.

P30 pro is not part of the ban it's only the newer models like Mate 30/30 pro and going forward (so you'll be getting googles updates). It's a great phone I've been using Huawei phones for a couple of years now. Good quality device for a reasonable price. Samsung is killing its own market nobody can afford them anymore especially outright. In regards to the Huawei you're not forced to login or sign in. It's optional if you're really concern about your data.

You don't need to have a Huawei ID, and I certainly haven't given them any banking information. Browser settings? Of what use are they? You mean history? Just use a different browser than Huawei's own.
I'm very happy with mine, no issues so far. I don't think there will be any future issues with updates either.
Ban don't affect p30 pro at all. It's a great device go ahead. (Πάρε το με κλειστά μάτια).
P30 Pro is not affected by the ban, its a great phone, brilliant battery life and the photo quality is amazing, my Note 9 is lying in the drawer...
if you are looking at buying a phone in the near future then I recommend you wait a month as there are a fair few phones getting released. I would say wait a little
I got s10 plus which is similar with my s9+ that i had before.. is it good idea switch to p30 pro? From s10+

It really depends on what you need. The P30 Pro is a battery life beast, also has far faster charging at 40W and it's camera system is far ahead of the S10+, however the S10+ has the better Display and uses the more popular MicroSD standard, so it's really up to you.

P30 pro NE vs P30 pro 512gb

Hi All,
was looking at p40 pro, but really need all google services to work, so P30 pro NE or P30 pro 512gb, have already P30 pro 256gb, and is really, really great phone for everything. Anyone can give me advice, thinking NE should have longer life with updates and UFS 3.0..
Many thanks...
There's really not much of a difference between the P30 Pro and the P30 Pro NE. Would you actually benefit from 512GB?
If I didn't already have several new recent phones I'd be looking at the Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro. I've had a Mi 8 Lite since release and it's a solid phone. I'm quite impressed with Xiaomi devices.
Really want another p30 pro, great battery life, camera, waterproof, solid phone, it just can't find review about NE model to compare with old one..
This should help:

Difference with " old " 512gb " which is mine, is only soft touch of the phone like p40 and color like p40, plus anti fingerprint on the case. Else, New p30 pro begins with 8gb ram on 128 and 256gb that's all.
But old 512gb has also 8gb so finally you can stay on the old one
Does anyone know if the p30 pro NE on Huawei website is single or dual sim. for the UK?

I do not know, but I hope is dual sim, as my present p30 pro, 512gb pay monthly deals just gone over roof so looks like I will go NE way, really love to try p40 pro but need GS to work reliably as using for work too.

Not really helpful, as there are no any reviews about NE version, no benchmarks results, no photos reviews, all on youtube are fakes, will be useful if anyone owning Ne version could share bench results and feedback, ufs 3.0 must be much faster as 2.1..
