"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enHuawei is the second largest phone manufacturer in the world and with the launch of the p30 Pro it's bringing out the big guns to clinch that number one spot it's a P 30 pros look that first caught my attention it really stands out in a way that others simply don't the way that light blue blends into the pink on my breathing crystal review model is simply beautiful and it makes this phone way more eye-catching than anything else out there it was in fact the pretty tones of the p30 pro that drew the most attention in my testing time even against the galaxy s 10 plus and this is the most expensive ceramic white model against the p30 pro it doesn't really compete on the prettiness front it's built from glass and metal in our search it has a satisfying heft to it when you pick it up so the POIs weighs earlier phones felt a little cheap to hold but this thing feels anything but of course as it is glass you'll want to avoid dropping it a very real possibility given the inherent slipperiness of all glass designs there is at least I P 68 waterproofing to keep it safe from spilled drinks there's no headphone jack on the p30 Pro and the fingerprint scanner is now built into the display it works well and recognized my prints more often than not I found it marginally more accurate than the Galaxy S tens in screen fingerprint scanner though neither are as consistently accurate as a more standard optical scanner there's also no micro SD card slot as Huawei has a gain opted for its own nano memory card formats for expanding the storage those cards are more expensive and much harder to come by and standard micro SD cards so do be aware that you will not be able to use your existing microSD cards in this phone but turn a phone over and we will see the real hero features of the p30 pro the camera you get a 20 megapixel super wide angle lens a regular 40 megapixel lens handle weird-looking square lens but uses a prism based periscope system to achieve a huge zoom you can zoom in not only 5 times but also a whopping 10 times without that much loss in quality I was skeptical when huawei first explained this to me but it actually works quite well you can zoom into a scene a huge amount getting up close on details simply out of reach of any other phone camera it's not completely lossless as huawei claims some small details are still a bit fuzzy but if you compare the p30 Pro zoom shot to a shot from the s10 plus 2 times telephoto lens Huawei's really is leaps and bounds in fronts the p30 Pro also plays an absolute blinder when it comes to night shots the p20 pro was already one of my top low-light phone picks thanks to its incredible night mode thankfully that standalone camera mode is still onboard capturing shots with much more shadow detail and controlled highlights than almost any other phone is able to manage but the p30 pro takes that low-light even further with the combination of a new type of image sensor and a high ISO speed this phone is able to capture images in situations where even my eyes can't see properly locked in my bathroom in almost total darkness the p30 pro was still able to get a bright if rather grainy image in the same scene the s10 plus a shot came out looking like something taken in the 19th century this new super low-light skill isn't a dedicated mode though and it can be a little hit and miss on when the phone actually applies it if there's almost no light in a scene stay in a park at night where there are no street lamps it'll kick in and brighten up that scene if however you're taking a shot of a street at night with street lamps casting at least some ambient light there's almost no difference in what you'll find on the p30 Pro then what you'll find on the s10 everyday shots from the standard camera though are decent if not sometimes a little uninspiring against the s 10 plus the P 30 pros images have more muted colors and it doesn't balance highlights and shadows quite as well sometimes leaving bright skies looking a little washed out the display has a 23 40 by 1080 pixel resolution which is a step below the maximum resolution of the galaxy s 10 plus but I doubt you'll really notice much difference the screen stretches right to the edges of the phone broken only by a tiny teardrop notch of a top just big enough to house that front-facing camera I do like this solution it's very unobtrusive when you're watching full screen videos or playing big dramatic games it's a smaller notch on the S 10 plus as hole punch cuts out for the two front facing cameras but having used both I don't really have much of a preference between them it really shouldn't be your primary decision when deciding between these two phones the p30 Pro runs quarries latest Kirin 980 processor with 8 gig of ram own benchmark terms the phone isn't a match of the s10 plus but benchmarks really don't tell the whole story and I can say with confidence that this phone is far from slow navigation around the interface is Swift and lag free video screen without issue and playing graphically demanding games like asphalt 9 legends and pub G was a breeze it runs Android 9 Pi at its core but Huawei is slapped the latest version of its mue interface over the top now I'm not totally fussed about this software it's fine to use but it does remove the app drawer which I find a little bit frustrating that you can put that back in the settings should you wish charging the capacious 4,200 milliamp an hour battery is done by USB C and it's equipped with a super-fast charge which will take the phone from empty to 70% in only 30 minutes of charging as long as you use the bundled 40 watt charger it's actually one of my highlights of the phone as I often find myself forgetting to charge much during the day and wanting to give it a bit of a boost before I head on a night out all this needs is a quick boost to give me enough to juice back to last the evening without having to carry an external battery pack with me not the running out of power is much of an issue with this thing anyway I found the phone would comfortably last a full day of reasonably heavy usage often with a bit left to get me into the next morning and still a phone I'd want to charge every night just to be safe but that's pretty much the case with every smartphone on the market and if you do happen to have juice to spare then you can always hand some of it off to a friend in need using the two-way wireless charging just hold any Qi enabled device at the back of the phone to send the power across just as you can on the galaxy s 10 phone it's 899 pounds in the UK this phone doesn't come cheap but it's astonishing low light and zoom skills it's colourful design and it's awesome battery life meaning you're getting a whole lot of phone for your money but what do you think of the p30 Pro is a whopping zoom and great low-light skills enough to put you over buying the Galaxy S 10 plus or do you have another phone in mind entirely do you make sure to let us know in the comments below make sure to LIKE and subscribe to seen it for a lot more\n"
