[HUAWEI P30 PRO HANDS-ON]

It was three years ago that Huawei and its partner Leica Camera promised a “renaissance in mobile photography” … to which I remember reacting with a shrug and an eye-roll. But I had to eat crow when Huawei released last year’s P20 Pro and Mate 20 Pro, smartphones with cameras so good they stayed in my pocket long after my reviews went up. Today, I’m in Paris to see the sequel to those smartphones officially announced … and if it lives up to its promises, it could be the best camera phone of 2019. Join me for a first look at the Huawei P30 Pro!

    "Companies eyesore, I mean custom interpretation of android" nails it.

    Congratulation to Huawei ! Their Cameras on the shitty phone are so damn good now. Thank To LEICA !, the World 2nd oldest German camera company, who specializes in making camera !!!. Without German engineering, you would never come this far with that quality. Compared to Apple, they developed their own cameras. it takes a while before you can finally beat them. But professional mode like portraits , Apple is still the winner here. Oop! .. your 4K video looks pretty shitty tho, you know why?. because the processor chip that you made is nowhere close to Apple's sophisticated A12 Bionic. But it's Ok tho, you are a Chinese company, you can copy them anyway.

    Kudos to MrMobile for evaluating Huawei products when they're banned by the U.S. government. I guess the craftsmanship instinct transcends political boundaries.

    Michael absolutely loved the review and always enjoy the pics.I think all the hard work put into your Videos are absolutely amazing. Love the shots of the Library where I used to read a good book and have lunch with friends.Depending on the mood especially on a nice day.Love the build and quality of the devices still wish they would make them more available and not a fan of all the fingerprint sensors on all.Love the Cameras and yes they can definitely work on the emui been saying from beginning but if I had my hands on it sure I figure a work around.Love that they are still around and definitely looking sharp.Can't wait for the full review.Thanks for all the hard work and pics are always amazing Deb 👍✌😉

    Why all the p30 camera review is in Paris

  15. preben nielsen says

    "Periscope"?? Do you even know what a periscope is ?

  16. Sam says

    there's An Oppo Phone With A 48MP Rear camera

  17. Rickbearcat says

    Since this phone is not for sale in the U.S., if you removed all of the U.S. viewers from the YouTube stats, how many people are watching this from other countries? Currently, you have 289,113 views on this video. What is the percentage of U.S. viewers vs. the rest of the world? (Maybe that last question is more succinct than the first one, lol.)

  18. Trubyd44 says

    Stupid curved screen.

  19. Veljko Novaković says

    Litteraly the only guy I watch reviews from, you should do some cheaper phones too

  20. Dan Richardson says

    Hope that the reduced smoothing process is something that will make its way back to the Mate 20 and P20 phones

  21. doc doti says
