Huawei P30
series
HUAWEI P30 Series are the
company’s most advanced
camera smartphones to
date: Innovations such as
the HUAWEI SuperSpectrum
Sensor and SuperZoom
Lens allow Huawei to push
the envelope of not just
photography, but videography
as well.
Huawei also announced
that it has worked to optimize
the Huawei P30 series camera
for Snapchat, bringing more
camera innovation to users,
aiming for Snapchatters to
soon be able to enjoy more
experience using the Huawei
P30 camera.
HUAWEI P30 Pro
Taking mobile
photography to a brandnew
level, HUAWEI P30 Pro
carries a new Leica Quad
Camera on the back of the
device, including a massive
40MP main camera with
a revolutionary 1/1.7-inch
SuperSpectrum sensor, a 20MP
ultra-wide angle lens, 8MP
telephoto camera and HUAWEI
Time of Flight (ToF) Camera
to unleash the imagination.
Unique to the HUAWEI P30 Pro,
HUAWEI ToF Camera captures
depth-of-field information
to deliver accurate image
segmentation and uses precise
distance measurement to
allow for the simulation of
multiple levels of bokeh. A
32MP selfie camera mounts
the device front and produces
AI-beautified pictures.
The SuperZoom Lens
takes smartphone zooming
capabilities to unprecedented
territories. The innovative
periscope design enables
Huawei to incorporate the
telephoto camera into an
extremely slim device. The
periscope design uses a prism
element to bend light at a
90-degree angle. By doing so,
the sensor can be fitted in the
chassis and support 5x optical
zoom, 10x hybrid zoom and a
never-before seen 50x digital
zoom, bringing the farthest
objects closer to the user’s eyes.
HUAWEI Dual-View
Video¹ uses multiple cameras
simultaneously to capture
videos. While shooting, the
screen splits into two halves:
the lower half shows the
wide-angle capture, while the
half that’s closer to the front
camera shows a close-up shot.
This mode, with its capability
to capture dual perspectives,
lends itself to capturing largescale
events such as sporting
matches and concerts where
users can adjust magnification
levels as well.
The HUAWEI P30 Pro also
houses a large, high-density
4,200mAh battery, and supports
40W HUAWEI SuperCharge,
which gives the device 70
percent charge in 30 minutes.
Moreover, HUAWEI P30 Pro
supports 15W HUAWEI Wireless
Quick Charge, and Wireless
Reverse Charge, which enables
the device to work as a power
bank for selected electronic
devices supporting wireless
charging.
The HUAWEI P30 Pro
supports a newly-introduced
Super Night Mode in shooting
videos. HUAWEI P30 Pro
retains great vision at low light
and every frame taken across
the long exposure is better with
superior colors, dynamic range
and clarity. Combined, these
processes enable an exposure
of 3-8 seconds and produce
the most stunning images
in low-light settings. The
“night vision” capability lets
the HUAWEI P30 Pro capture
videos even in the poorest of
lighting conditions.
Huawei P30 Lite
Combining exquisite
design and innovation,
HUAWEI P30 Lite smartphone
comes armed with a
32MP 3D Selfie Superstar
camera integrated with AI
Beautification which works
like a professional team to
enhance users’ beauty. The
rear of the device features
a 24MP AI ultra-wide triple
camera comprising of 24MP
main camera with a f/1.8 wide
aperture lens, 8MP camera for
ultra-wide angle shots and
2MP lens. In order to deliver
a seamless user experience,
the smartphone is launched
with the EMUI 9.0.1 installed
and offers 4GB of RAM and
128GB of internal storage. The
device also features a 6.15-inch
Dewdrop display and achieves
a massive screen to body ratio
of 84.1 percent. HUAWEI P30
Lite continues excellence in
design and features a slim
3D curved glass exterior
that provides a modern feel
that smoothly merges with
Huawei’s core innovations to
deliver a premium and sleek
user experience.

ultra-long battery life
