**A Refreshing Unboxing and First Impressions Experience**

As I unboxed my Huawei Mate 30 RS Porsche Design phone, I couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement and curiosity. The phone's design was unlike anything I had seen before, with its sleek curved edges and luxurious finish that hinted at the premium materials used in its construction. As I powered it on, I was greeted by a clean and well-exposed display, with great-looking background blur that made for some beautiful photography opportunities.

The camera capabilities of the phone were also impressive, capturing stunning footage of the Christmas market and allowing me to take some amazing portrait mode shots. One feature that stood out to me was the automatic step counter on my lock screen, which provided a convenient way to track my daily activity levels. Additionally, I appreciated the auto rotation feature, which rotated the content according to the orientation of my eyes rather than the phone itself. This made for a more intuitive and natural viewing experience.

However, my day with the Mate 30 RS Porsche Design was not without its challenges. While exploring the Christmas market with my younger sister, she left her phone on a ledge and it was later discovered that it had been stolen. I spent the next half an hour changing her account passwords and making calls to get the device logged back into her system. It was a frustrating experience, but one that ultimately didn't detract from my overall enjoyment of the phone.

Despite the setbacks, I continued to use the Mate 30 RS Porsche Design throughout the day. The phone performed admirably, even when used as a Wi-Fi hotspot for an extended period. As I made my way back home, I realized that the phone had only managed to reach 39% battery life after around five and a half hours of heavy screen time.

As I reflected on my experience with the Mate 30 RS Porsche Design, I couldn't help but think about the phone's unique design choices. The notch, which was absent in the standard Mate 30 Pro model, added a touch of elegance to the phone's front face. However, Huawei had cleverly designed wallpapers that helped to mask the notch and make it less noticeable.

**Benchmarking the Phone**

One feature I had been eager to try out on my new phone was benchmarking. The Mate 30 RS Porsche Design boasted a more powerful 995G chip than its standard counterpart, which was built using a better manufacturing process. In theory, this should have translated into improved performance. However, when I ran a benchmark test, the results were surprisingly close to those of the standard Mate 30 Pro. Despite this, I still managed to coax out some impressive scores from the phone.

The gaming experience on the Mate 30 RS Porsche Design was also smooth and responsive. Even with the more powerful chip, I found that the phone's performance was comparable to that of other high-end flagships in terms of raw power. However, when it came to actual gameplay, I was pleasantly surprised by how well the phone handled demanding titles.

**A Gaming Session**

One evening, I spent around an hour playing Call of Duty Mobile on my new phone. The experience was largely seamless, with only minor lag or stuttering issues. This was a testament to the phone's capable hardware and its ability to handle demanding games without any major hiccups.

As the day drew to a close, I took some time to browse social media, check out the photos I had taken earlier in the day, and watch a few videos. It was during this downtime that I discovered one of the phone's quirks – there was no volume slider on the device. Instead, Huawei had provided an alternative solution that involved double-tapping on the curved edges to adjust the volume.

This feature may have been a bit unconventional at first, but it did provide a convenient way to control the volume without having to physically interact with the phone's buttons. Overall, while I would have preferred a traditional volume slider, this solution worked well and added an extra layer of functionality to the phone's design.

**A Day in Review**

As I reflect on my time with the Mate 30 RS Porsche Design, it's clear that this phone is different from its standard counterpart in several ways. The physical design is unique, with a luxurious finish and sleek curves that set it apart from other devices in its class. The software experience is also distinctive, with features like auto rotation and step counting providing a convenient way to manage the phone's daily usage.

Despite some minor setbacks, including the theft of my sister's phone, I was generally impressed by the Mate 30 RS Porsche Design. While it may not be a value handset in the classical sense, it delivers on what it promises – a premium device with exceptional performance and features that make it an enjoyable experience to use.

wall-e is absolutely jacked China only super phone the huawei mate 30 RS and whilst I was excited to just rip it out the packaging whack it on charge and start using it because this is a special

have seen before is a second USBC cable the reason for this is that as well as the standard mains charger you also get Huawei's new car charger which also supports superfast 40 watt charging now I realize car chargers on the most exciting thing on the market but this might just be the highest spec offering out there there's a second port to charge a second phone and an LED ring around it to keep it visible there's a pair of earphones nothing crazy this is like always answer to Apple's ear pods and a box which contains the rather unusual porsche design smart phone case and below this a

dramatically 8 gigabytes of RAM becomes 12 and 256 gigs of storage becomes 512 with room for an external card it uses better materials and an even faster chipset but I'll get to this not to mention the phones have had a fair few updates since launch to improve their features so what I wanted to do was put my sim card in and live with the device to see if it felt any different okay 23rd of December the day before Christmas Eve I had three things I wanted to do and whilst I do them we can keep track of battery life with the indicator at the bottom buy presents find the best possible rooftop for an ultra wide shot and test the power of the phone with some games so on the way to the shops one of the very first things I noticed is that people can't stop looking at this phone I was just walking around filming what was in front of me and I definitely felt an above-average amount of eyes on this thing 4k video is still capped at 30 frames per second but I was happy with the stabilization all this attention is probably because like it or not this is unconventional as far as smartphone design goes it uses primarily leather on the back with a glass window in the middle I've used a fair few car branded smartphones now and this is probably my favorite from the outside we've actually made it thicker than the standard made 30 pro but because the camera module has changed from being one small protrusion to cleaner this whole window in the middle it is a bit more stable when it's on a flat surface there is also a custom software skin and wallpapers I like the base colors but don't really like the clash with the colours of the normal icons and the rest of the UI it was around 1:30 when I arrived at the shopping centre and I was recording this with a feature called dual view which lets you record at two different magnifications at the same time now I was taking screenshots throughout the day to keep track of the battery and notice there's no volume slider here which means easiest way of doing this is by double tapping with your knuckle it is wildly unconventional but it works shopping I wanted to get one main thing as a present and in my mind I was picturing some sort of house ornament so we found a good shop for this and used it as an excuse to test the phone's video capability in a medium well-lit environment I stumbled into the lighting section and instantly decided that this is where I'd find something so after about 20 minutes lots of back-and-forth I made a decision so you've ended up going with this one it's a dimmable lamp so every time you tap the base lights up brighter I like it and then like any sensible person who'd just bought a Christmas gift I tried throwing it like the huawei mate 30 probe the made 30 RS has the option to record at 7600 80 frames per second slow motion it's so slow that even fast moving objects can appear to stop in their tracks I've actually heard some people say it's too slow but you can always record at a more normal frame rate if you want to do all right so we just finished shopping the Sun is setting it looks beautiful right now and just when we go to that rooftop to get a massive you across Nottingham he's found a bit of a market so we're gonna head there and see what we find this is where things went wrong it actually started great the place was jammed with people and I got some great shots using each of the phones different zoom magnifications plus after giving it half an hour this became the perfect place to test the phone's video capabilities in low-light and to get one thing Claire no other smartphone does it better the footage was clean well exposed with great-looking background blur which of course in a Christmas market with all these tiny light sources around was a treat to look at even got a few portrait mode shots and I remembered a few of the things I liked about this standard mate 30 Pro that are also here an automatic step counter on your lock screen and auto rotation that rotates not based on the orientation of your phone but the orientation of your eyes which is just better for example if I rotate my phone but my head stays straight the content will rotate because I'm looking at it from a different angle but if I rotated my phone and my head let's say I was lying down in bed at night then the content wouldn't rotate because I'd be looking at it straight on but then you might not know I have a younger sister and I was out here with her and whilst she was getting some shots of the market she left her phone on an ledge you can probably see where this is going I carried on looking around the market she followed and that's the last time when we saw it even though we realized 15 seconds later the had been stolen so bit of a spanner in the works so I spent the next half an hour of changing her account passwords and making calls to get the device logged a massive shame but we had to carry on finish the video we had a rooftop to get to and finding warm wasn't as easy as I'd expected the initial plan was to go to a hotel take a lift to the top floor and then find a nice window to look out off but what I ended up using was a helter-skelter or for those of you who don't know a theme park right I got permission to walk to the top and it would be very tough to complain about the view from there in both video and the subsequent photos I took afterwards the may 30 RS smashed it and I also tried three times zoom and five times oom whilst using night mode just before I headed back home to do some gaming I tried two things a side by side video comparison with the Samsung Galaxy fold as you can see here and I found a spot to give traffic trails mode ago if you have a tripod you can stick the fern on it and make it only pick up the lights of passing cars anyways on the way back we're at 39 percent battery after about five and a half hours of heavy screen on usage so far also worth noting is that I've had the
