Huawei is re-releasing the firm’s last Google-supported flagship with a fresh lick of paint but the same internals in the form of the P30 Pro New Edition.

The Huawei drama continues. This week, some Huawei P30 Pro users are reporting that SafetyNet tests are failing on their devices, breaking many apps including Netflix and Google Pay, and Huawei has confirmed the issue.
Huawei’s P30 Pro is one of our favorite smartphones of the year, and it seems consumers agree. As it unveiled a “new” version of the device at IFA 2019, Huawei also revealed that in less than six months, over 16 million P30 Pros have been sold.
Huawei is currently preparing to launch its new flagship without Google apps, but its former P30 Pro is getting some upgrades. At IFA 2019 this week, Huawei has launched the P30 Pro in two new color variants as well as teasing the phone’s Android 10 upgrade.
Despite US sanctions weighing heavily on Huawei’s neck, their latest flagship devices, the P30 and P30 Pro, appear to be receiving an update in China that brings with it DC Dimming features along with much needed in-display fingerprint reader improvements.
We’ve just had a short hands-on session with the next full release of EMUI 10 for Huawei phones, but until then, EMUI 9.1 is still technically the latest and greatest from the company. With that said, the latest EMUI update for the Huawei P30 and P30 Pro is bringing some new features and even the latest security patch.
Huawei remains adamant that the P30 Pro and Mate 20 Pro plus a further 15 devices will get updated to Android Q even despite the ongoing US trade ban.

The OnePlus 7 Pro is many things. A great overall package is one way to describe it. but one area that we’ve seen previous OnePlus devices really struggle in the past is in camera performance. So, has the OnePlus 7 Pro addressed this?
Android Q is still in beta right now, but Huawei is officially confirming a few of its devices for the upgrade. When the time comes, at least 8 of the company’s devices will be updated including the P30 and Mate 20 lineups.
Marvel’s latest film, Avengers: Endgame has had fans swarming the theaters since its release last week and many stuck around to see if Marvel threw in a post-credits scene. To their surprise, some found that their theater did have a “scene” after the movie, but it was actually just an advertisement for Huawei’s latest smartphone.
The Huawei P30 Pro is a fantastic device that rightly deserves its camera plaudits. It is the gateway to a zoomed-in smartphone camera future that will no doubt force other OEMs to really think about what type of lens setups we see in upcoming devices.

The Huawei P30 Pro is an amazing smartphone if for its camera alone. Sadly, though, Huawei isn’t making a variant for US markets. Today, though, B&H Photo has opened up pre-orders for the Huawei P30 and Pro in the United States.

The Huawei P30 Pro looks to be a real camera contender. It’s racked up the highest DxOMark score ever seen with a total score of 112 — and that’s with four rear-facing cameras. Meanwhile, the 6-month-old Pixel 3 only has one rear-facing camera that is backed up by some of the best post-processing on the entire market. But how do they stack up against one another?
For all of Huawei’s questionable comparisons between itself and the iPhone throughout its entire launch keynote, its flagship, the Huawei P30 Pro, is most definitely more of a contender within the top-tier Android space — which is currently no doubt occupied by the Samsung Galaxy S10.
