Huawei EMUI 10.1 Update Schedule for P30 Pro, Mate 20, Mate 30, Honor 20 series and many more

by James Smythe | Jun 17, 2020 | News, Phones & Mobile | 0

Huawei is one of the better companies out there for updating their phones. Consistently and pushing regular security updates out for many of their phones and issuing major software releases for phones well beyond what some other brands offer (i.e. Motorolla Edge and the initial commitment to one major update). Before anyone asks, devices that were released with Google Play, will continue to have it. Devices such as the Mate 30 Pro and Huawei P40 Pro which launched without Google but with Huawei Mobile Services will continue to have the same functionality. Huawei today announced the global release schedule...

Huawei P30 Pro New Edition is just the old edition with a lower RRP but more expensive than the P30 Pro on Amazon

by James Smythe | May 12, 2020 | News, Phones & Mobile | 0

[Update] This is now official. The Huawei P30 Pro New Edition launches in the UK from 3rd June (Silver Frost only), from the Huawei Store and selected operators and retailers (RRP £699). The Huawei P30 Pro New Edition also comes with a free Huawei Watch GT2e, when purchased up to and including the 30th June 2020 (via redemption, T&C apply). The existing UK model has just 128GB while the New Edition has 256GB storage. I would say the £699 is not worth it vs the £500 you can currently get the older P30 Pro for. However, the Huawei Watch...

Huawei P40 Pro vs P30 Pro Camera Samples Compared & Photo Gallery

by James Smythe | Apr 6, 2020 | News, Phones & Mobile, Reviews | 0

The Huawei P40 Pro was launched a few days ago, and I have been using it since last week. The Px0 series of phones has always been the camera orientated model from Huawei and the P30 Pro was one of the most successful flagship phones of last year. It was my personal favourite, and it was generally regarded as one of, if not the best camera phones. The Huawei P40 Pro launch has been marred slightly by the lack of Google Apps, and it will undoubtedly affect the popularity of the phone this year. I have covered this in...

Huawei P30 Pro getting Android 10 based EMUI 10 on O2 & Vodafone UK

by James Smythe | Jan 16, 2020 | News, Phones & Mobile | 0

The rollout for EMUI 10 based on Android 10 for the latest Huawei P30 Pro and P30 was officially set for February. Vodafone pushed out their update early back in December for carrier-locked Huawei P30 and Mate 20 series devices in several countries, including UK, Ireland, Germany, Netherlands and more. It is claimed that Vodafone has now completed this process. Now O2 have started rolling out their EMUI 10 update for Huawei P30 series, but there’s no confirmation regarding the Mate 20 devices. The new update comes in a 4.5GB with an additional 226MB of O2 bloatware apps. Both...

Huawei P30 Pro & Mate 20 Pro receiving EMUI 10 / Android 10 stable update in Europe

by James Smythe | Nov 15, 2019 | News, Phones & Mobile | 0

Huawei has had the EMUI 10 available on Beta for several devices for a while now, last week it was reported that the stable version was being rolled out in China including the Huawei P30, Huawei P30 Pro, HONOR 20, HONOR 20 Pro, HONOR V20 and HONOR Magic 2. This would be followed in late November with the Mate series. I had expected that the EU & UK rollout would take a little longer but Huawei appears to be doing a gradual rollout for us as well. For the P30 and P30 Pr the update package, size is 4.47GB and...

OnePlus 7 Pro vs Huawei P30 Pro vs Samsung Galaxy S10+ – Is OnePlus still a flagship killer?

by James Smythe | May 14, 2019 | News, Phones & Mobile | 0

This comparison was written initially with leaked specs, which are normally accurate this close to launch. It will be updated with any changes following the full launch. With the launch on the OnePlus 7 with its Pro variant, are they still a flagship killer? OnePlus have steadily been increasing their prices each year, now with a Pro model, this has allowed them to jack up the price to premium flagship levels which will likely alienate a few users. But how does the new Pro model compare against the other premium phones of the year? For me, the standout options...

Huawei P30 Pro Review – An exceptional camera phone that builds on the Mate 20 Pro

by James Smythe | Apr 10, 2019 | Phones & Mobile, Reviews | 0

The Huawei P30 Pro was released two weeks ago in Paris, and I have been using it as my primary phone since. As usual with the P range this phone focussing on the camera, with considerable improvements from the P20 Pro, or the 5-month old Mate 20 Pro. In particular, this phone introduces a new camera stack using RYYB over RGB which apparently improves low light performance and allows them to achieve an ISO of 409600 which is unheard of in smartphones and many DSLRs. For comparison, that is four times larger than the P20 Pro, which was often...

Huawei P30 Pro vs Mate 20 Pro vs P20 Pro – Which is the best buy?

by James Smythe | Mar 26, 2019 | News, Phones & Mobile | 0

Huawei launch two flagship devices a year, which some may say is excessive, but with Huawei’s exponential growth in market share, it has clearly worked quite well for them. The Huawei release cycle follows a trend, with the Mate series introducing the latest chipset pushing the boundaries of what I phone can do. Then the P series focuses on the camera, and it could be said that Huawei has been the one brand that has made the biggest difference in smartphone photography in recent years. The Huawei P30 Pro continues this tradition, it maintains the three cameras from the...

Huawei P30 Pro Announced & Hands on Review – Quad camera, 40MP, 10x zoom, 409600 ISO

by James Smythe | Mar 26, 2019 | News, Phones & Mobile | 0

Today Huawei has announced the new P30 series of phones including the much anticipated P30 Pro. The past few days have seen a lot of leaks, some of which came from Huawei directly, most of them are accurate. However, I was lucky enough to attend a pre-briefing for the new phones in Amsterdam, and I got to spend a couple of hours playing with as well as a boat trip to test out the camera. Sadly, Huawei wouldn’t allow me to save any of the test shots so you will have to monitor social media for and samples I...

Huawei P30, P30 Pro designs revealed by Spigen & confirmed to launch in March

by James Smythe | Feb 8, 2019 | News, Phones & Mobile | 0

We are days away from MWC 2019 where Huawei will be launching one of the most important phones of the year, a 5G enabled foldable phone. However that doesn't stop us from looking ahead at what else they have planned for us. The P20 & P20 Pro launched at the end of March last year in Paris so it was likely the next version of the phone would launch at the same time. The P20 Pro was easily one of the best phones of the year, perhaps only eclipsed by the Mate 20 Pro. It introduced one of the...
