Huawei P30 Pro review, it is the experience that leaves us after a month of use

In March this year, before the commercial veto imposed by the government of United States against Huawei, the Chinese technology market has launched a phone, which, according to them, is able to "rewrite the rules of photography". Maybe in the end nothing has been rewritten, but do not exaggerate by saying that the P30 Pro's camera is amazing.

Camera

We have tested this device for more than thirty days. The photos that we captured were made in different environments: sunny days, dark scenes, interiors and photos with distant objects, among others. The badessment of his behavior was remarkable in all scenarios, although some exceptions are explained at the end of the article in "Lo no tan agradable".

Something that facilitates a good use of the camera, and it's not exclusive to Huawei, is the implementation of a Artificial intelligence which identifies the conditions of the environment to determine in which scenario it is and what type of photograph should be taken.

For example, if someone activates the camera in a dimly lit scene, such as a romantic dinner, the phone will automatically perform internal operations to enhance the capture of light and thus avoid a photograph dark, gritty and fuzzy. If this is in addition to the fact that the protagonist of the photo is a person, the option 'Portrait & # 39; will be activated immediately to get an effect & # 39;bokehThat is, the subject is clear while the background becomes blurred.

The artificial intelligence It's also useful to automatically enhance elements such as colors, brightness and contrast, but it's a team effort that makes the Leica lens battery a P30 Pro.

Basically, on this phone, there is a main target of 40 megapixels (responsible for taking pictures every day), a wide-angle lens of 20 megapixels (ideal for taking pictures of landscapes or group), a zoom of eight megapixels (which allows you to take pictures of objects from a distance without sacrificing the quality of the image) and a camera in front, for selfies, 32 megapixels.

In addition to the above, the three cameras on which the phone is placed are reinforced by a sensor. Flight Time (ToF), which measures the depth of the image and offers more professional finishes on "Bokeh" effect photographs, for example.

We can not say goodbye to the photographic section without mentioning the main role played by the zoom of the P30 Pro. Defined by Huawei as a "Super Zoom," this lens can zoom up to five times (5X) the original size of the image without sacrificing its quality. In combination with the digital zoom, the efforts by the phone to enlarge even more the image, not with the lens, but with the software, can reach up to 10X. If the person wants to go further, she can use the digital zoom to reach 50X, leaving a grainy and pixellated image, of course.

Design and screen

In terms of design, the P30 Pro speaks for itself. On the back, depending on the model we tested, there is an attractive color gradient that features shades of blue, white, pink and yellow. You can play with, by moving it, the colors change.

All this gala of colors is covered with a layer of glbad, which gives an interesting continuity with the screen. All the edges are rounded, there is not a single right angle on the phone.

The experience to the touch is quite smooth, a person can de-stress simply by turning it with his fingers. Eye, this feature is not entirely favorable, in "What's not so nice", we explain why.

Regarding its screen, the P30 Pro incorporates a oled Curve of 6.47 inches. This is a phone in which the edges disappear almost completely, except for the chin at the bottom of the screen and the drop-shaped notch (which houses the camera) above.

The treatment of color, brightness and contrast is remarkable. This is seen when playing high quality videos. The experience offered by handling outdoors on a sunny day is acceptable, the person will have no problem trying to see what appears on his screen while walking down the street.

Processor and battery

The drums and the processor These are two elements that go hand in hand. The second can help the first to give more time to use the device before it is fully downloaded.

When examining the battery of this device we find a 4,200 milliamps which allowsSuper charge& # 39; Tests conducted in this way have resulted in the average phone taking 45 seconds to complete one percentage point of charge, that is, from 22% to 23%. In total, to go from zero to 100%, it takes about an hour.

According to Huawei, with a 40W charger, the phone can go from 0% to 70% in half an hour. The duration of the battery, depending on the daily use of the phone, allowed him to remain in service for about a day and a half.

As for its processor, this device incorporates a Kirin 980. We put it to the test with high-end video games much in demand Battle Royaleand all worked with high performance graphics. The game experience was quite fluid, there was no overheating of the device.

biometrics

In the P30 Pro is equipped with facial recognition and one fingerprint sensor integrated in the screen.

The facial recognition behavior is quite fast, we were able to unlock the phone about 50 times in a minute. Regarding the fingerprint sensor, the behavior, although slightly more cumbersome, has proven to be able to meet the daily demands of a person.

It is necessary to be precise and to say that the fingerprint reader does not work as well in the dark scenes, which could be due to the light technology used for its operation, aspect in which competitors such as Samsung, with ultrasound fingerprint readers the forehead.

Good

In conclusion, what stands out the most from the experience that this team has given us during its first month of use is the camera. In reality, its game of goals offers a versatile experience, because you can take pictures of distant, wide angle and other objects, with professional finishes.

The design is another aspect that has pleased, just put this Huawei, the back turned up, so that someone is attracted to ask for it.

Different aspects make the difference, such as the integration of a bulb emitting an infrared signal at the top, which allows the phone to function as a universal remote control capable of controlling televisions, air conditioners, decoders, projectors and DVD players. , among other artifacts.

The not so nice

The physical strength of the phone is something that, according to the test we performed, has not been revealed. It happened that he slipped and fell from a distance of about 30 centimeters in height. The upper right corner hit the floor tile, causing three cracks on the phone's screen.

The damage was purely aesthetic, the touch of his screen, as well as the colors, brightness and others were not affected. What could improve the brand, besides the resistance of the coating of its screens, is to allow the superb finishes presented in its design to be supplemented by materials that maximize the friction, thus avoiding a device as slippery.

Another aspect that he did not like so much, considering the amazing performance of his cameras, are the mediocre finishes that we sometimes got, that is to say granular photos in pale colors. These results finally appeared in not-so-bad scenes in lighting, probably because the poor quality was due to a bad decision of his artificial intelligence.
