Huawei P30 Pro

Smartphones im Test: Gute Handys gibt es für weniger als 200 Euro

Das Huawei P30 Pro ist zweifellos eines der besten Smartphones, das Sie momentan kaufen können. Die Kamera sucht ihresgleichen, die restlichen Werte und Ausstattungsmerkmale spielen in der Oberklasse mit. Besitzer eines Mate 20 Pro müssen nicht zwingend umsteigen, für alle anderen Kamera-Fetischisten ist das P30 Pro aber eine tolle Alternative.

Huawei setzt mit dem P30 Pro Maßstäbe. Nicht alles funktioniert perfekt, aber die Bildqualität und die Möglichkeiten der drei Optiken machen das P30 Pro zum aktuell besten Foto-Smartphone am Markt. Allein schon die Telekamera mit 125 mm KB ist beachtlich. Die Hauptoptik bringt kleine Verbesserungen bei guten und einen deutlichen Vorsprung bei schlechtem Licht gegenüber dem Vorgänger. Und selbst die Ultraweitwinkel-Kamera ist nutzbar.

Huawei brilliert auf dem Smartphone-Markt erneut, denn das P30 Pro überzeugt in nahezu allen Belangen. Einzig bei der Benutzeroberfläche besteht etwas Aufräumbedarf, die Spitzenkameras sowie die überaus gute Akkulaufzeit machen dies jedoch wieder wett. Die Unterschiede zum Mate 20 Pro sind allerdings sehr gering. Für Kamera-Enthusiasten und jene, die stets nach dem aktuellen Nonplusultra suchen, führt an dem P30 Pro kein Weg vorbei.

The P30 Pro is fantastic phone whose cameras still impress. Add to this great performance, excellent battery life and attractive finishes and you have a champion. The P30 was announced before Huawei was put on the US trade blocklist and Google announced its decision to pull support, and therefore will continue to have full access to Google apps, services and security updates. And now, Android 10 is available for it.

After spending a lot of time with it, we would say that it is a reliable little phone that looks stylish and that we had no major troubles using. Huawei has optimized it to run smoothly, the gesture navigation is one of the best on Android, battery life is solid and the camera is not bad. But this is not a phone for the perfectionists: the screen is AMOLED, but it is not quite as good as on the rivals, the camera has a few neat tricks, but photos have somewhat bleak colors, EMUI is not as polished as other skins and options that we have had for now years like 4K60 video are missing. The problem is that at this price we don't just expect a good-enough phone, we expect great. And as recent launches like that OnePlus have shown us, we can often get a lot more.

The Leica quad camera is the star of the show, but the Huawei P30 Pro excels in other areas too and offers a compelling flagship experience. We hope that Huawei improves its video performance though, which does not currently do its technically superior optics justice.

The Huawei P30 Pro's impressive camera skills and vibrant design easily beat the Galaxy S10 Plus and the Pixel 3, but political entanglements mean the phone won't come to the US.

The Huawei P30 Pro is an excellent flagship smartphone option and with it coming in at around £800, it definitely puts up a good fight against the Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus and Apple's iPhones. In fact, for photography fans, we may even go as far as to say that it could be the photographer's smartphone of choice!

The P30 Pro sports a camera array that’ll have its competitors calling for emergency meetings. It’s not just all software, there’s been an impressive update to the hardware, resulting in what is an unbeatable zoom on a smartphone camera.
