Huawei P30 Pro Expert Review Summary
Expert Rating:
4.5/5
Verdict
As I mentioned in the beginning, you d be compelled to consider the Huawei P30 Pro for its imaging prowess, but the handset is much more than that. It s a near-perfect flagship that doesn t falter on any aspect, be it design, display, performance or battery. While its software might evoke mixed reactions, you can overcome that by installing a custom launcher like Nova Launcher. What s even more interesting is the fact that the P30 Pro is priced at Rs 71,990 – just Rs 2,000 more than the initial sticker price of the Mate 20 Pro. Of course, you must be thinking whether a smartphone from Huawei...

As I mentioned in the beginning, you d be compelled to consider the Huawei P30 Pro for its imaging prowess, but the handset is much more than that. It s a near-perfect flagship that doesn t falter on any aspect, be it design, display, performance or battery. While its software might evoke mixed reactions, you can overcome that by installing a custom launcher like Nova Launcher. What s even more interesting is the fact that the P30 Pro is priced at Rs 71,990 – just Rs 2,000 more than the initial sticker price of the Mate 20 Pro. Of course, you must be thinking whether a smartphone from Huawei s stables deserves such a high asking price considering there are offerings from the likes of Apple, Samsung and Google in the premium flagship space. Well, if you ask me, the P30 Pro comes as a better proposition than its competitors. Samsung s Galaxy S10+ (review) for instance, costs slightly more at Rs 73,900 and while it s a great all-round smartphone, it doesn t have too many features that stand out. I ve already established that the Pixel 3 XL is a great camera phone, but fails to be a good all rounder. Then there s the iPhone XS (review) and XS Max (review), both of which are capable options for those who are invested in the Apple ecosystem, but aren t enticing enough for anyone else, especially considering their price tags. That leaves us with Huawei s own Mate 20 Pro, which is now available for around Rs 64,990 and considering it shares its hardware with the P30 Pro, I guess the question you need to ask yourself is whether the difference in their prices is worth the camera capabilities offered by the brand s latest, though I certainly think so. All said and done, the Huawei P30 Pro is a near-perfect flagship, which is usually a rarity, and won t leave you asking for more. And to make the deal even sweeter, the company is letting you buy the Huawei Watch GT (first impressions) along with the new phone for just an additional Rs 2,000, instead of its actual price of Rs 15,990.
Pros
- An attractive, IP68-certified build
- Impressive and versatile cameras
- Powerful hardware
- Strong battery life and fast-charging capabilities
Cons
- Display resolution limited to full HD
- NanoSD cards aren't available in India
- Face unlock isn't fast or extremely secure
