Huawei Mate 30 Pro

The older version received a 6.53-inch OLEDHorizon Display with a resolution of 2400 × 1176 pixels is the same waterfall display, like the Vivo Nex 3. The edges of the screen are 88 degrees bent, which creates the effect of a “flowing down” display. In addition, using these faces, you can control the volume and the camera: swipe up or down and the sound will become louder or quieter, click on the face and click on the selfie.

At the top is a small "bang", but sheLooks smaller and neater than the iPhone. By the way, Huawei devoted a lot of time to the new “apple” smartphones, but they, of course, lose the Mate 30 (who would doubt it): their frames are thicker, the screen is smaller with the same dimensions, and the battery is smaller.

But back to the cutout: in addition to a selfie camera, there is a motion sensor here, with which you can use your smartphone to control gestures: for example, scroll through pages or take screenshots if you have dirty hands. The sensor also knows how to recognize "outsiders" and hide personal information if a stranger is looking at the screen.

The fingerprint scanner is sub-screen here, there is protection against dust and moisture according to the IP68 standard and Always-on Display mode.

The flagship processor is installed inside the flagshipHuawei Kirin 990 in conjunction with 8 GB of RAM and 128/256 GB of ROM. There is NFC, a USB Type-C 3.1 connector, two SIM card slots and a 4,500 mAh battery with support for fast charging at 40 watts and fast wireless charging at 27 watts. We did not forget about reverse charging: that is, a smartphone without wires can charge other gadgets.

And finally, another pride of the Huawei Mate 30 Pro- main camera. It is made in the style of cameras of ordinary cameras (well, at least not the stove): the sensors are located in a round module.
