Huawei P30 128GB+6GB RAM (ELE-L29) 6.1" LTE Factory Unlocked GSM Smartphone (International Version) - Breathing Crystal

I love this thing. I'll start by saying the ONLY phone to pick for better battery life is the P30 pro. The only way your battery will die, is if you planned it to. It charges too fast and last too long otherwise. The camera is well known. So, you know it's amazing quality. My only con with it, and maybe the entire phone, is I'd like an option to force the telephoto lens. Sometimes it doesn't want to switch because of "poor" lighting, but I'll take my chances with poor lighting for better zoom quality. (There is a work around. Camera app, pro mode, camera settings, turn on raw images. In pro mode, you can only use the 3 lenses as is. No digital zoom, but it forces the lens. Just a hassle of having multiple photos after.) The OLED display is as clear as they come. The notch doesn't bother me at all. Speaker is loud, sometimes too loud lol. I have no problem with slowness or lag. It runs every app great, and fast. I've done no hardcore gaming. Just light games: Stick Fight, Pako 2, Drone shadow strike. All ran smoothly. Can't comment on skin, as I use Nova launcher. Another con, expandable storage. Yes, it has expandable storage, but it's nano memory. Not micro. Huawei is the ONLY company that makes nano. I did not know nor realize this before buying. It was a big bummer. Their smallest is $60 for 64GB. Lastly, I got the Breathing Crystal and it's absolutely beautiful. It makes you want to get a case with a transparent back, like it did. It does come with a case, that's OK and clear. It also comes with a screen protector on it. Case and protector are for temporary use. So, makes sure to buy another pair. UNBAN HUAWEI!!!

I am coming from a Huawei Honor 8 and I don't want a huge phone to replace my honor 8 and the pro version was just too big, adding a case on it will get it even bigger so I settled with this standard P30 and with the headphone jack which I occasionally use it's a no brainier better choice for me. And even with it's smaller form factor it's screen real estate is quite huge, a lot bigger than my honor 8 and even with my big hands reaching the very top of the screen is a stretch but luckily the one hand gestures is there.The camera is amazing, sure it would be nice to have that x5 optical zoom from the pro version but the x3 is quite enough. The night mode shots on both are practically the same. I uploaded one of the shots I took with the night mode on this phone. I am impressed. I can get good results with my honor 8 on pro mode but not like this. I provided the standard mode and night mode shots of my window view for comparisonBattery life is awesome, I've been playing online games on this phone everyday at least 2hours of game time and another 4hrs of on screen time with YouTube or vlc player and normal social media/browser use and at the end 0f the day I'd still have around 20-30% left on my battery. The provided charger does it's job so fast as well that I normally charge my phone 30mins before I go to bed and unplug it and it'll be ready for the next day. Even the honor 8 fast charger works but not at supercharging speed.Overall I can see this lasting me 3yrs again before I think of replacing it. Only reason why I replaced my honor 8 was it started to slow down. Probably coz it's not optimized anymore as it has an old version of android.

Had this P30 for two weeks. Really love it with the battery life, face recognition and amazing camera. The picture at dark environment is unbelievable. The best phone I can get at this price.

This is by far a great phone for about half the price of the leading phone brands out there. It is super snappy, transitioning from screen to screen is smooth and running several apps at the same time doesn't slow it down.The display is wonderful, the home screen is akin to iPhone interface, but runs an android system. Videos look fluid and amazing, at the highest settings on Netflix and YouTube, for those streaming connoisseurs.For gamers out there, games run great, less input lag, I let my friend try out fortnite (I'm not really all that into it) And he liked how it felt. I play gacha games, and from the phone I had, It was an upgrade, because the frames per second were so low, the game suffered. Now, that's not the case.For Picture/Phone photographers out there, if you want something at the same tier as an iPhone, for less money, look no further. The pictures taken on this phone are phenomenal. It was crisp, and I even tried out taking pictures from far away, (as the pro version is known for) and this one is still pretty solid. It has minimal blur and focuses well at a distance. Overall pretty good photo taking phone.My only gripe, which doesn't have much of an impact on my rating, is that the Huawei services, arent available in the U. S. Unfortunately, probably because of the rumors circling the phone. But isn't much of a hindrance, however.I enjoyed this phone overall. Would recommend if you're on a budget!

Although I'm not a fan of the facial recognition concept. The fingerprint reader is great and quick to unlock the phone. The organization of photos, and the photo quality is absolutely fantastic. I, myself, am coming from the LG V20, and even though it was good, this was a GREAT switch based on performance. No lag whatsoever, snappy, responsive, and the color of breading crystal was something I love the most. I did extensive research for the phone I wanted to use, and for the money, this is amazing. +1 for still having the headphone jack. The outgoing speaker at the bottom is good, only issue being that you can cover it with your finger accidentally, but still good quality and LOUD. If you're on a budget and still want greatness, this is an amazing phone.

This is my 2nd Huawei cell phone after the Mate 9. This thing is so worth the money. The camera capabilities are unmatched by other phones currently offered in the US. I'm glad I bought this phone. Like my Mate 9, I'm sure I'll use this for years.
