Huawei P30 Pro Unboxing - What comes in the box? Whats new? - Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion

Fellow Members I have the Huawei P30 Pro and since I have unboxed it I have been getting asked what comes in the box and what is differnet or new over the P20 Pro. I have made a video about this the link is https://youtu.be/gav37hRpYn0 however please read this post fully as it may save you time over watching the whole video. Any questions please let me know down below and I will try my best to answer them.
The Box is classic Huawei, smart, classy and very clean, opening it reveals my brand new P30 Pro in the shiny black which never goes out of style. We also have a sim ejection tool packaged alongside the usual booklets and paperwork which lets be honest no one reads. And finally in the bottom of the box I spy the Huawei Super charger, a usb c charging cable and a set of usb c earphones, BUT NO DONGLE OR CASE in my box!!!!
Taking a closer look at the P30 Pro its obvious to see the ergonomic design where the handset is dual curved from the front and back panels. On the matte finished frame up top, there is a microphone and an IR blaster. On the right side we have the volume rocker above the power button. At the bottom of the device there is a speaker grill, usb c charging port, microphone and sim card / memory card tray. On the back of the P30 Pro the finish on my unit is a glossy glass with some Huawei and Leica branding beneath the new cameras. Which are 20mp ultrawide angle, 40mp super Spectrum and 8mp 5 times optical periscope zoom lens and not forgetting the TOF sensor under the flash. I will go into more details about the cameras in another video but rest assured these cameras are even better than the P20 Pro. With 5 times optical zoom, 10 times lossless hybrid zoom and 50 times digital zoom coupled with dual OIS and an ISO over 409000 these lenses produce results which are jaw dropping. The 6.47in OLED 19.5:9 FHD+ screen is a beauty as Huawei decided to go with a tiny tear drop notch which houses the 32mp selfie camera and face unlock technology. There is also an in screen Fingerprint sensor which now is lightening fast and extremely accurate.
An improvement over the P20 Pro is the addition. Of fast wireless charging at 15 watts and the ability to charge another QI enabled product using reverse wireless charging which Huawei were the first to bring to market. Luckily Huawei have included a 4200 mah battery meaning the P30 Pro is a power users dream easily able to give all day usage. I noticed there is no earpiece above the notch in fact there is no earpiece cut out anywhere, Huawei have used a new technology called Huawei acoustic display technology where the sound for phone calls comes through the screen as that’s where the speaker is housed.
Finally whats under the hood? The Kirin 980 with dual NPU, 8gb of RAM, 128 or 512gb of built in storage which is expandable. With all this power it is vital that the heat is rapidly dispersed, Huawei have included a cooling design with graphene layers and an advanced heat pipe. Topping this all off the P30 Pro is running EMUI 9.1 and Android pie straight out of the box and for added protection it has IP68 water and dust resistance.

Earbuds, charger, thats it.

Here in Italy, you get a clear case if you order from Amazon. I picked mine up at a large electronics retailer and there was no case.

UK versions have no case.

In Cyprus i got the device and the usuall stuff. No gel case for free this time.

Mine came in a big box with the GT watch, gel case, and a free huawei quick wireless charger on the side.
I have the L29.

In china, clear case, charger and earbuds.

Bobovr z5 3d ?

Anyone tried the BOBOVR Z5 3D with the XZ Premium? What's your impressions?
Do U know the answer yet. I want to buy it as well but I don't know if it will work.
There is no reason why it wouldn't work. There no tech inside the Bobo Z5, so it will be compatible with anything that fits between...... just a well made cardboard.
As I own both XZP and Bobo Z5 I can tell you following facts:
- the FOV is no where near 120° , it depends on your eye to lens and lens to phone display distance as well as the ipd distance , I have almost the perfect average ipd with 65mm and with the best settings I found so far, I have somewhere around 80-90° FOV by guessing in comparison with my 2016 GearVR (assuming this has exactly 90°fov)
- the lenses seem to be good, better than GVR 2016 , the image stays clear within peripheral vision , that was not the case with the Samsung
- Headphones are a plus, If they were bluetooth, they would have been better, cable does often come in the way while putting your phone in
- be aware of having to set up the headset for your needs , takes some time with calibration, I would recommend sitesinvr , they offer a calibration tool and the possibility to export your config to a qr code you can scan afterwards to overwrite the standard cardboard preset
- bobovr's own qr code isn't working properly, you will most likely get a fisheye view then
- not the most comfortable headset , but I'm pretty sure there is alot worse hardware available, it sits pretty good on your head, backstrap with knob to tighten is a bit uncomfortable if you are leaning with the back of your head on the sofa or anywhere else , a flex-strap system like samsung would be more shaky but more comfortable
- lenses do not fog up easyly , this is a big plus
- I would recommend inserting the xzp into the z5 without any cases around. It is perfectly possible (I have a Spigen Rugged armor case) alignment / image quality is slightly improved with the case removed)
Overall:
- cardboard image drifting sucks !!
- 4K screen is a big plus compared to my old galaxy s6 2560x1440 display
-XZP's LCD screen is alot slower than Samsungs Oleds , but this tradeoff might be ok if you do not look around too much etc.
I have it since october.
Yes, bobo VR Z5! It works great but keep in mind without tempered glass screenprotector.
Ittook over 1 month to come from china, and the remote was discharged so I jump started the battery 3-4 times with 5v for one second and it did charge after.
I have it like new. thinking to sell it ...
how much do you offer?
i bought some years ago bobo4 just because want to try 4k video in VR, because try ps4 vr and ps display not 4k but picture was very cool realistic in games, and i though with 4k xzp display picture will be more better...but i can't normaly cinfigurate bobo4 and xzp to watch 4k videos youtube or other videos and other things like games, videos very ugly and i see pixels and other.... or may be because bobo4 it's piece of **** don't know, but I was very disappointed in VR and did not touch this bobo again.....

Honor 10 Wishlist

Honor 10 Wishlist​The Honor 9 was a big improvement over the Honor 8, taking many people's criticisms and implementing new features to fix them. For owners of the Honor 9, what are you hoping to see in the next installment of this phone line? What can the Honor 10 do to be even better?
Here are some things I would like to see in the next phone:
1440 x 2560 Resolution
Android Oreo
3500+ mAh battery
Improved selfie camera
Water resistant
What would you like to see in the Honor 10?
Rommco05 said:
Camera optical stabilization
Steel on back
Biggest battery
Stereo reproductors
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Hope for Snapdragon chipset

Something realistic

If this happens with uni metal body , i will select honor again.
Add only stereo speakers to what you already said, it'll be perfect
Rommco05 said:
Kirin 970 + metal body + stereo rep + bigger battery + little bit bigger screen
Anyway I will buy Honor 10
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Snapdragon
Adreno gpu> 540 may be new one
Bigger battery >3500
Metal body
Stero speakers
Fingerprint -backside it would be perfect,front side looks ugly and covers the phone space
Android oreo
Quick charging.
Forget snapdragon, honor will never use something other than kirin chipset in its higher end devices
Honor 5x has tons of ROMs because of SD
I hope for SD.
Rommco05 said:
Headphones jack

Click to collapse
That's an Essential (pun intended)

If they don't add it , it would be definetly a failure.
For me definately:
1. Optical Image Stabilization
2. OLED Screen
I want a side mounted fingerprint scanner/power button.
That would be awesome
Many of are not fans of side mounted fps.by side mounting it was is difficult to use other hand finger.
Honor 9 is a great phone and after two months still a pleasure to use everyday.
I would like the Honor 10 to have almost exactly the same design as Honor 9 which is beautiful, but transposed onto the body dimensions of the Honor 6x, with a 5.5" screen with 1440x2560 resolution. This size will allow a better battery life. Keep the fps where it is on a front home button. Update the chipset to Kirin 970, go one generation better for Gorilla Glass (I believe this means updating to Gorilla Glass 3), waterproof that, and I will definitely buy it.
keep the dimension, if possible increase battery capacity, ois and oled screen for better low light and better battery life. oh, and stereo speaker? wait, waterproofing too.
Narrow frame
Top and bottom sides have big parts than it needs.
Screen body ratio is terrible for this quality
Front facing stereo speakers
What I would like to see on the Honor 10:
Screen:
- same size, I like one handed usability
Body:
- metal unibody for better heat dissipation and less fragility
- waterproofing would be nice
- headphone jack is a must
- fingerprint on the back, for smaller bezzels, maybe
Camera:
- at least f/1.9 aperture, for low ligh, same sensors, same autofocus
- OIS
Performance:
- Kirin 970
- 4GB RAM + 64GB flash should be enough
- again, heat dissipation
Software:
- at least two years of constant updates.
- this is the biggest flaw of Huawei devices, the lack of updates after the first year. And it's becoming a bigger issue, as time passes and bad reputation grows. Get your **** together Huawei
Misc:
- IR blaster is always nice
-in order to keep the price in the same range of sub 400 Euros, I'd keep a similar battery, screen, fast charging options, maybe even USB standard, stereo speakers and other fancy stuff. If you're into that, go for the Huawei P or Mate series
- I feel that as long as the latest Honor device outperforms last year's Galaxy, while keeping a low price, it should do ok. And yes, except for waterproofing, I believe the Honor 9 is a better device than the S7
18:9 display aspect screen since it's the new trend.
Improved audio ( since huawei has been rated the lowest quality of audio output).
Stereo speakers.
Rest what you said.
I hope Honor/Huawei listens us.

That is probably never gonna happen. As the Honor is owned by Huawei and they do prefer to use their own HiSilicon Kirin SOCs. Which is much better than Qualcomm's Snapdragon's range of SOCs.
Ois in camera?
Dualsim AND sdcard

Possible New Rival to ZF3U from SONY in the Making?

According to the following news article,
https://www.gizchina.com/2017/11/17/sony-h8521-pro-a-appears-gfxbench-next-flagship-sony/
Sony might be finally preparing their long overdue rival to the biggest phones on the market aka the real Phablets. It appears we may finally see the successor to the Xperia Z Ultra, which was my first real phablet and then I switched to Huawei P8 Max and now with Asus ZF3U but I think Sony's new phone if it becomes real in January's CES or Feb's MWC 2018 will be a game changer.
I still like my ZF3U but I always thought that the top and bottom bezels could have been reduced to accommodate a larger screen, possibly with a bit of a curve without compromising overall size of the device beyond 7.5" inches (the most ideal Phablet size)
It appears with Sony's new design language changes coming and the claimed size of 7.4" the new device will most likely be my next phone. I hope someone from Sony or Asus will listen and make the next big phone bigger without big bezels and better with flagship specs. Here is what I want to see in the next ZF3U or a Sony XZU Sucessor:
-7.4" 2k or 4k bezelless display preferably with 3D and AR capabilities and dedicated display options, in menu for dpi and other adjustments.
-QC SD 845 CPU
-128GB OR 256GB ROM
-6-8gb RAM
-Dual Sim with dedicated 2nd sim slot-non hybrid slot
-MicroSD card expansion
-Dual front and dual rear cameras positioned in the centre without a bulge to protect the lens and possibly with ZF3 AR style surround for better visuals or with a protective slide cover.
-3.5mm Audio Jack- yes it is a basic feature but we need to keep it
-NFC and IR Blaster (basic features that should now be common and not a wish in this day and age- still not sure why the ZF3U does not have NFC enabled)
-4600 or higher mah battery with quick charge and wireless charge
-Quad Speakers Positioned in all corners or 2 speakers with one on top and one, on bottom with at least the same or higher quality and loudness of the ZF3U
-A STYLUS Pen Integrated into the Phone is long overdue.
-Android 8.1 Near Stock UI with customizations similar to Flyme OS and with the best of the Huawei and Samsung implementations and side menu implementation in phone and all app settings-very useful for navigating settings in an app or phone.
-Dedicated Fingerprint scanner on the rear centre of the device as well as all the other locks such as pin, face, retina, iris etc… . bring it on.
-Dual Type C Ports (Charge and HDMI over Type C)
-Dedicated QWERTY Keyboard Dock style accessory with similar functionality to that of Samsung Dex or Huawei's Mate 10 style display over HDMI.
Thats it from me, enough wishful thinking. Hope somone from Sony, Asus or Huawei reads too. Now lets hear what everyone thinks! Enjoy!

I hope to see a new huge screen phablet with proper band support but I think only Xiaomi will do even with no full support of bands.
I just got my ZenFone 3 ultra to be sure that I will have a big screen phone until something good come to market.

What do you want in your next phone?

Having opted for a Mate 20 Pro (presumably because of things like battery life, cameras and in-screen fingerprint reader) and now that we're entering the 2019 release cycle (Galaxy 10's incoming, P30 Pro not too far away) what features do you want in your next phone?
- Hole punch camera or slider, or are you happy with a notch for proper facial recognition?
- An ultrasonic in-screen fingerprint reader?
- Better rear cameras with higher optical zoom?
- Drop the curved screen?
I'm talking about physical features rather than software related things like EMUI & locked bootloaders but, on that note, would you go for another Huawei knowing what you do about the M20Pro?

Better screen with no hw bugs
Faster on screen fingerprint reader
Better emui on huawei case
I think thats all, every spec in a smartphone nowsdays is more than enough. The only thing left is to take all of it and do it right with quality standards.

I'd like to see dual monitor support via HDMI when connected to EMUI desktop mode. (1920x1080)+(1920x1080)=3840x1080.
Also, if the EMUI desktop mode could permit direct SMS text messaging via desktop mode similar to that of Samsung DEX mode.
Ubuntu Linux on Huawei EMUI
I would like to see flagship phone that is less fragile. If phone like M20pro have charger this fast so wireless charging is not a necessity, at least give me an option for aluminium back. Also a phone with less or no compromises with under 1k price. I personally don't care about gimmicks like s pen or reverse charging etc. IR blaster is cool, I use it all the time. That's why I chose M20pro vs Note9.
My next purchase will be very carefully considered and almost certainly not a Huawei. Mainly because I have faced touchscreen lag on the P20 pro and now the Mate 20 Pro. Also the P20 Pro monochrome sensor made night mode much much better than the Mate 20 Pro so I think Huawei have lost their advantage. I used to do pitch black or very low light pin sharp night mode shots on the P20 pro, but in exactly the same scenario on the Mate 20 pro, you have camera shake which ruins the shot.
As for my next phone:
High touch screen response / sensitivity / low ms.
4-5,000 mah battery with battery life to match (12hrs SOT)
Flat screen (Screen protector friendly)
Pin sharp selfie camera (such as Pixel or One plus)
3D Face unlock
No pinhole selfie camera
Excellent video recording (stereo and handles concert scenarios)
Excellent low light camera, and fast shutter speed for indoor / pets etc (ala Pixel 2)
Powerful, loud stereo Dolby atmos speakers.
As I go along I feel this is never going to happen. This above is a mix of the Razer phone 2 and the Mate 20 Pro.

Honor 20 Lite Unboxing and First Look

You can watch my video here:
Fellow members I was lucky enough to get the Honor 20 Lite early before launch and I have had a play around with it and can give you some feedback.
The handset will cost £249.99 in the UK and will go on sale on May 15th, 2 colours will be available, midnight Black and phantom blue. It does look really nice and what surprises me is the back is made of plastic not glass but I really couldn't tell. They achieved the look of glass by using 8 different layers.
The screen is 6.21in and has a 90% screen to body ratio and it is a LCD panel. There is a small tear drop notch which houses a 32mp camera. The rear of the phone houses 3 cameras, the main one is 24mp and there's also a wide angle lens and finally a 2mp lens to help with depth. The back also houses the fingerprint sensor which is fast as is the face unlock.
Negatives I would say are only a single speaker, micro USB port and no ip rating, also no support for 5G WiFi. However it is dual SIM and running on emui 9 and android 9. The Kirin 710 runs the device with 4gb of ram and 128gb of built-in storage which is expandable to 512GB. Any questions please ask I am happy to help and I will be attending the Honor 20 launch event also. I hope this helps anyone thinking about buying the Honor 20 Lite.
