Alot of phones were released in 2018, but among all of them, one that stuck out as something special was the Huawei P20 Pro. Although not perfect, the P20 Pro is widely considered as having one of the very best camera packages we’ve ever seen on any smartphone. Add that together with a stunning design, fast performance, and greatly improved software, and it’s easy to see why we were so enthralled with the phone.
We’re now in 2019, and as such, it’s time to look ahead to see what Huawei will do to improve upon last year. It’s going to be a challenge, but if Huawei plays its cards right, the P30 Pro could very easily be one of the best phones of the year.
Over the past weeks, the Huawei P30 Pro has had a number of details leak about its cameras, notch and colors. Most of those leaks have come from the German site WinFuture. Yesterday, the site revealed more purported specs of the Huawei P30 and P30 Pro.
Without further ado, here’s everything we know!
What specs are we anticipating?
While no specs for the Huawei P30 have been confirmed, here’s what we’re currently expecting according to the rumor mill.
Rumors have popped up for awhile that the P30 Pro would have four rear cameras. There is a 40-megapixel rear camera — the same as last year’s P20 Pro. The main camera will have and aperture of f/1.6 which will let in a lot of light. The only phones with a wider aperture camera are the Galaxy S10 series, Note 9 and S9 series which have a main camera with an f/1.5 aperture. Of course, Samsung uses a dual mechanical aperture to switch between wide and narrow whereas Huawei’s cameras have a fixed aperture.
A new 20-megapixel camera with an f/2.2 wide-angle lens will also be one of the four on the back. LG has offered a wide angle lens on its cameras for years. Recently, Samsung added an ultra-wide-angle lens to the new Galaxy S10, S10E and S10 Plus.
Interestingly enough the P30 Pro will have a 6.47-inch display which is a tad larger the 6.39-inch screen on the P20 Pro. However, bigger is not always better. The P30 Pro screen will have a resolution of 2,340×1080 pixels, which is less than that on the P20 Pro.
Huawei is expected to announce the P30 and P30 Pro at its event in Paris on March 26. We’ll have to wait until then to find out what rumors are true and which ones are not.
