Huawei Mate 30 Pro (2019) review: Too weird to thrive, too rare to buy

Huawei Mate 30 Pro Review

An extremely-capable all-rounder, Huawei has ensured that the Mate 30 Pro has the hardware innovation to tackle even the most potent competitors on the market. Its quad-camera may change the tide of video capture superiority against Apple, the new Kirin chipset will be able to outpace most of the current silicon on the market and the phone's battery and fast-charging chops mean it outlasts most other phones out there. The phone is tempting with free wireless earbuds and a smartwatch (while stocks last) but only if you're ok with the lack of Google Services, which for many will be a dealbreaker.
