While Huawei leads the way in smartphone cameras, it is slower to jump on trendier features. You'd have to look to Honor for things like sliders and punch-hole cutouts. That could be changing really soon with what has been named the Huawei P Smart Z. While a mid-range phone at heart, it will try to make its case by being the first Huawei-branded phone to come with that popup camera design.
Being first is a two-edged sword. If you succeed, you will be hailed as a pioneer. If you fail, you give your rivals the chance to one-up you. That might be what will happen in less than two months between Huawei and Samsung as the latter still tries to do damage control. Huawei, on the other, seems nonplussed and will push through with the launch of its own foldable Mate X phone as scheduled, giving it the opportunity to say once again that it did better than Samsung.
People are getting mad, and rightfully so, over the "accidentally" breaking $2,000 Galaxy Fold phone but price doesn't seem to be enough of a deterrent for JerryRigEverything. For the sake of science and discovery, not to mention a few juicy views, Zack Nelson isn't just showing the guts of the Huawei P30 Pro but also literally tore apart its most important feature to give us an inside look at how it all works together.
As great as its phones maybe, Huawei and, by extension, Honor devices are at times criticized for their software, specifically the EMUI custom Android experience. It is one of the most heavily customized ROMs which has the side effect of being slow to update. Huawei, however, has a surprise for its faithful users as it announced that the latest version of EMUI will be coming to dozens of its phones, a gesture that should put OEMs with fewer phones to shame.
The Huawei P30 Pro is arguably the best smartphone so far this year, especially if you consider its fancy new 5x optical zoom camera. It is, however, also one of the most expensive, if you can even get your hands on one in some markets like the US. With a precious phone like that, consumers have every reason to be worried about its long-term chances of survival. Zack Nelson from YouTube channel JerryRigEverything, fortunately, does the grueling torture test to bring that answer before you even invest in one.
A new leak claims the CIA has accused Chinese company Huawei of receiving funds from the People's Liberation Army, China's National Security Commission, and the nation's state intelligence network. This allegation has reportedly been passed on to officials in the UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, joining past accusations directed at the Chinese company.
Smartphones today, especially the expensive flagships, have become more powerful and sophisticated but the literal price to pay is increased cost and difficulty in repairs. While authorized service centers have official tools and processes, they will also take the same journey that iFixit takes. The Huawei P30 Pro is one of the latest destinations of that journey and while the overall result is still disappointing, the teardown did reveal some surprising and pleasant nuggets.
You might think that the Galaxy S10 5G, the largest and most expensive of the four siblings, is just about 5G. After all, it's there in its name. DxOMark has now just proven there might be another reason to want the phone. It has just tied up with Huawei's latest and greatest as the top smartphone camera in the market. Despite the similar average score, however, there are a few things that the Galaxy S10 5G may do better and it might even stop there.
It's probably frustrating for US consumers, not to mention for Huawei, that one of the best smartphones in the market continues to be unavailable there. Of course, there are always ways to import these devices but even Huawei throws in a cautionary warning. So it's probably surprising and almost unbelievable that B&H Photo is making both the Huawei P30 and the Huawei P30 Pro available on its website for US buyers. But, as always, there is a catch.
There are four cameras on the back of the brand-new Huawei P30 Pro. It has a standard camera; an ultra-wide lens; a “time-of-flight” camera for depth-sensing; but the one that has got us all talking is the telephoto, mega-zoom lens.
It's not hard to imagine Huawei gloating over its foes. It has been belittled, ridiculed, suspected, rejected, and even sued. But now it has come out with what is possibly the best premium smartphone this year so far. That is especially true if you're the type that lives and breathes mobile photography. But does the Huawei P30 Pro really live up to the hype that Huawei and first reviewers have built up? We give it a good SlashGear test to see, hear, and feel how Huawei's greatest stands against Samsung's and Apple's champions.
The Nexus line has long been dead but the ghost of its bootloops continue to haunt Google and its partners. They may finally be willing to do do anything to put a close to that last chapter, even if it means paying millions. That does seem to be the case for the almost two-year-old class action lawsuit filed against Google and Huawei over Neuxs 6P bootloop problems, both of whom have decided to settle it out of court and put an end to the saga once and for all.
