[Huawei P30 Real Life Review] eng3:
Well, they are both OLED's and I think the resolution is "good enough". Both are better than my current phone so I guess I wont know what I'm missing. As for one UI vs EMUI, I'm not certain how much it matters. I use nova launcher + lineage right now. I'm unsure how much I'd be affected by the mfr skin. One HUGE thing is that the S10 series can be rooted, the P series can't even be unlocked let alone rooted. So If I don't like EMUI, I can't just install lineage. More importantly, after 2yrs, if it hasnt been unlocked, I won't be able to prolong the life of the phone by installing a newer UPDATED rom. That is probably the big thing that is making me lean towards the S10 series. The other things all seem minor.

But P30 vs P30 pro, its mainly the camera. In reality, I'm not sure how important all the night shooting is to me. I just know that the most frustrating thing about every past phone camera has been its inability to take a phone when lighting is poor so I'm tempoted to go towards the P30.
[Huawei P30 Real Life Review] Klaudas:
P30 is probably the best phone I've ever had but it has few downsides. For example scrolling lag in youtube while watching video, while searching for bluetooth devices(probably software bug that will be fixed in near future). That doesn't bother but autofocus is pretty bad compared to my old s8+. I often get blurry images when taking shot on the go sometimes even on steady shots. It's strange that 2yr old samsung phone can do better autofocus. Phone is super fast with amazing battery life(I don't remember ever getting 7hours SOT on 48hours usage with 10% left), the photos that are not blurry are super gorgeous. Call quality, wifi connection.... are excellent. Overall I'm pretty satisfied with my purchase.

Can u share what is yr phone's setup?
[Huawei P30 Real Life Review] Klaudas:
128gb, 6gb ram, resolution auto, brightness auto, location on and disabled almost every gestures except do a screenshot with knuckle. System firmware: 9.1.0.178. Mostly using instagram, facebook(and messenger), snapchat, spotify and some not heavy games.

Do I love this phone? Yes!! It has the performance of a flagship without having an out of this world price. Unfortunately, Huawei support is a cluster****, you need to register your phone with Huawei ID for warranty purpose but there's no link on their Canadian webpage. Also, they advertise support for Huawei Cloud backup but it's unavailable in Canada.

Worst Android device I have owned since 2011, possibly ever
[Huawei P30 Real Life Review] Klaudas:
Samsung/apple pays you something to say this? :D
[Huawei P30 Real Life Review] trust_attrition:
No, the locked bootloader and lack of support are the main reasons. So many annoying small little bugs and left over issues from removing apk's with adb only and no root to tweak the end results, it is a tragic mess. On top of that they follow the penis enlargement route with the screen for no reason, the notch is ugly, it got weak gimmick curves on the edges and its overall a pretty sad thing from my perspective, and it sucks because it was supposed to be awesome, and it could be, if they would let me use my phone properly.

TLDR: I bought the phone but they won't let me own it, worst phone I have "owned" because its not even mine and yet its full price. The phone is a joke from a super user perspective and I honestly feel cheated.
[Huawei P30 Real Life Review] qwerty1q:
Looks like you coment in the wrong thread. This one is about P30......
[Huawei P30 Real Life Review] Klaudas:
False news. Everything is ok and will be ok.
[Huawei P30 Real Life Review] mab71:
It's your fault... Why didn't you use your brain to research about the phone before buying it?

Many non 'superusers' are very happy with the phone.
[Huawei P30 Real Life Review] trust_attrition:
Many people are happy with a fast food lifestyle and the health problem it brings too but that does not make it a good choice.

Just because some people can live with a problem does not make it any less of a problem, but it is nice for you that you do not notice it and I hope you are happy with the phone you are borrowing from huawei at full purchase price. I however am not and thought my opinion was equal to the other presented here and presented it to the world

Hopefully someone else will like it enough to buy it off me despite its obvious flaws so I can go buy a phone at half the price that will give me a better user experience =)
[Huawei P30 Real Life Review] Klaudas:
It is not problem. Root is not necessary that is for sure. P30 works super fast that's important. Every single phone have some bugs you just have to live with that or just buy non smart phone and enjoy your bugless phone :D . Like mentioned before do some research before buying and don't complain later about things that only bothers you.
[Huawei P30 Real Life Review] mab71:
Lol.. Comparing a smartphone with fast food.. I understand now... Enjoy yr next bugless phone... And don't trouble yourself to do research beforehand too... ?
[Huawei P30 Real Life Review] trust_attrition:
The comparison is valid and I assume you agree as you mentioned it without adding any reason? :p

And I do not mind bugs, I mind optional issues that are there by choice. My problems are not bugs, they are designed by policy and it is done because they wish to trick their customers into borrowing a product they paid full price for, a overreach people should care about IMO

The phone itself could be great, but made bad by huawei choice.

If they give me ownership of my device it will probably end up one of my favorite android devices, but currently the artificial limitations have made it one of the worst. But even if they give me ownership I will still be openly critical of their shady practice and bad customer service regarding this issue.

Written from my damaged motorola e5 that I prefer to use over the p30 pro.
[Huawei P30 Real Life Review] Klaudas:
You are the most funniest guy on this forum :laugh: . Yea we understand that you want to have root but it is not necessary for sure. Nowadays root is just optional especially on flagships. I rooted my s8+ and tried many different roms and other cool features but give up on that because it is just time wasting. There is no significant difference in perfomance, battery life compared to stock. And many people are that way. Go with your negativity elsewhere. Maybe in correct forum because it is p30 not p30 pro forum :D . And by the way if you don't like your p30 pro I can buy It for like 200euro?! It is insanely good price because IT IS VERY BAD PHONE :crying:
[Huawei P30 Real Life Review] trust_attrition:
I try, no reason to be all serious about things that are as low importance as a phone, I like to tinker with them and such but my interest is no deeper than hobby level

And I do realize I have posted in the thread about the normal p30, not the pro, sorry for that. Is by chance the normal p30 easier to use as a superuser than the pro?

I actually do not even want to run custom roms, just clean up the device after removing packages with adb and other such customization. Atm there is a thing called magazine unlock on my device for example and even if you disable it or remove the package the lockscreen will always show "enable magazine unlock" text and it just looks really unprofessional to me, I first thought that using adb to remove the package would fix the issue but the text is still there. I also want to replace the gesture menu at the bottom for the normal android drop down menu and various other small tweaks, not even custom rom. Just a proper one time setup of my device like I've gotten used to over the past 7 years, even with huawei devices!

I'll stop posting here as I got the wrong forum for the model but the situation I suspect is the same for this model and as such just as relevant. If the normal model can be rooted let me know I'll delete =)

I think it has something to do with me always being connected to HSDPA/3G? Dont spose anyone has any advice?

thanks guys.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] hambola:
If you have a data connection open all day, especially on HSDPA/3G, then you're definitely going to suffer with battery life. Disconnect your data connection if you're not using or use a tool such as Schap's Advanced Config to auto disconnect data.

I can confirm the results from the P30 Pro over here for the P30: https://www.forbes.com/sites/bensin...vs-iphone-xs-vs-samsung-galaxy-s10-vs-lg-v40/

It is no contest compared to other phones. It can basically see at night.
[Huawei P30 Real Life Review] shashank1320:
Low light or NO light photography is unmatched. You can virtually see in the dark.

During the launch event in Delhi, I was able to get my hands on for short period of time and this is what I could capture quickly in the completely dark room. (there were other better shots captured by the device). This is the one I recorded quickly.

can you put some more pictures in low light? I considering to buy p30 (not pro version)
[Huawei P30 Real Life Review] CoolZoneAlex:
Seen tests with the latest smartphone models such as OP7/OP7 Pro, Mi9/Mi9T or Zenfone 6 2019 and none can match the P30 series in low light conditions. P30 does also have a huge benefit of being smaller and does not feel like a brick in your pocket such as the latest flagships.

[Huawei P30 Real Life Review] WarVic:
Hi. To be honest, camera improvements over Mate 20 Pro is minimal. I own this phone right now as well as Pixel 3 XL. Previously had Mate 20 Pro for 4 month. I expected much better and more consistent shots compared to Mate 20 Pro. But it is not the case here unfortunately. Hit and miss is still the proper description of camera experience. Sure the phone is able to produce really nice photos but heaps of crappy ones popping up too (over-, underexposed, overcontrasted, out of focus...). I wish that P30 would be better than Pixel 3 XL in camera department at least and I'd finally ditch the last one.

At the same time I'd recommend P30 (non-Pro) over Mate 20 Pro due to slightly better (warm) camera tone to my test, more comfortable size, much better fingerprint scanner, flat (!) screen, better speakers (even not stereo ones), headphone jack. Wireless charging can be added for extra $50 via quite nice official Huawei wireless charging case.

P30 Lite cam test
[Huawei P30 Real Life Review] *Detection*:
Selfie cam quality seems a bit iffy, says 32MP but more often than not I get a worse quality image than my 8MP selfie cam on the S9 gave, similarity the 40MP setting for the rear cam I can see no difference between 10MP and 40MP, I took a photo across the room of a label on a box, zoomed in on 10MP and 40MP and they were both exactly the same as each other in terms of quality and readability, only difference I see is you lose some options with 40MP such as zoom

Focus seems fairly bad too, it borders my face to say it knows my face is there but when I check the photo it has actually focussed on something behind me or my top or something other than my face, which is slightly OOF compared

In bright sunlight the 10MP rear cam takes great pics, low light is clever but not great quality, seems like Huawei spent too much of their time adding features and gimmicks than actually making sure everything basic worked properly first
[Huawei P30 Real Life Review] Feniu:
That yellowish tint is horrible. When the light is a little bit worse it appears... What is intresting - on ultra wide mode it looks much more normally, no yellow tint, colors look more realistic. My HTC 10 from 2016 do much more realistic shots and the quality is much more stable on its camera. Have you the same look on your cameras?

And imo photos are very unstable, sometimes great, sometimes sucks, low sharpness, yellow tint, candy colors, dont like it. On selfie cam at least it looks very good for me.
[Huawei P30 Real Life Review] Bogu25:
I don't know what's wrong with your camera. I have a HTC U11 with GCam installed, (was my previous phone) and i like to compare very often the camera side by side and for daytime they look pretty similar, sometimes i prefer the P30, sometimes U11, but on low light, there's no contest, the P30 is way ahead, as it should be. And for the consistency, we have to accept that the lack of OIS means we have to be a little more careful when we take pictures.
[Huawei P30 Real Life Review] Feniu:
Hey, thanks for answer. Dont know how about u11, but i found in my HTC 10 more softness image, in p30 looks a litttle bit grainy when you zoom photo you made. Have u seen that too? Yeah, in good light the same opinion : one time htc, one time p30. But when im in the building, room etc. p30 begins to give yellow shade. Maybe ill upload some shots later to compare.

In low light sometimes shots loks unreal lighty, but sometimes camera makes perfect job:)
[Huawei P30 Real Life Review] Feniu:
I uploaded some shots :

First are the night shots : one the most realistic regulated manualy, one in auto, one in night mode - auto and night mode looks so unreal, dont like it.

Next in room : one in auto, one on ultra wide mode which gives much more realistic colors, on auto that yellowish tint.

And shots from work one on auto which gives yellow tints, and one on 3x tele which looks much more realistic (the tiles color) than auto.

Huawei made alot of intrested things, but they didnt paid enough attention and work on main camera in my opinion.

https://ibb.co/QJ2K294 - auto, turned light down manually

https://ibb.co/xYfS0hX - night mode (wtf?)

Hello. Can anybody compare P20 PRO with P30 (not pro) in camera quality? I have had P20 Pro for a moment but "hit and miss" camera quality, especially for fast moving objects (children) forced me to sell it. Now I am thinking about P30 (not pro), but if it doesn't have OIS can I expect real any improvement in camera quality?
[Huawei P30 Real Life Review] vandal4e:
OIS or not you won't find much if any difference with either of those, they take too much time to process the photo once u press the shutter hence the hit or miss
[Huawei P30 Real Life Review] nedalnib:
This is odd. My three years old HTC U11 have IMHO better photo recurrence as P20 PRO (more hits nor miss). Also less images were blurred with U11 like with P20 PRO.

I don't know if the quality of the camera is that low compared to my galaxy s9 plus. It does not recognize people well or it is my imagination, but almost always the face or the subject is not well focused, it does not capture all its details. I don't know if it's just my team's problem or in general, should I take it as a guarantee? because it doesn't seem normal for the s9 + to take photos much more detailed than the p30

Auto should give you the full 50x, just slide the zoom slider up further than the top and it will keep zooming (Video only gives 10x)
