With just a couple of more days to go, all eyes are on
Huawei as the company gears up to launch its flagship camera smartphones, the
P30 series. The design and many of the main key features have been heavily
rumoured so far, so all that really remains is the pricing. Just days before
the launch, Amazon Italy accidentally put up a listing for the Huawei P30 Pro,
which pretty much bares all the information we've been waiting for. The listing
was taken down immediately but clearly not fast enough to avoid itchy
screenshot fingers of fellow tech enthusiasts.
Italian blog HDBlog managed to get some
juicy screenshots of the Amazon listing, ripe with all the specifications,
press images and pricing, as reported by
Android Police. The listing is of the 8GB version with 128GB of internal
storage, carrying a price tag of EUR 1,024 If this pricing is indeed accurate,
then this lines up well with previous rumours that suggested the P30
series would be more expensive than the P20 series. This also makes it more
expensive than the Samsung Galaxy S10.
The
Amazon listing also confirms a couple of other interesting facts about the
upcoming phone. The P30 Pro will have 40-megapixel primary sensor, 20-megapixel
and 8-megapixel sensors (one of them a wide-angle while the other, a
telephoto), and a TOF (Time Of Flight) sensor for gathering depth information.
The specifications also reveal that the P30 Pro will have a 32-megapixel selfie
camera.
Other specifications
reportedly confirmed include the presence of USB Type-C, EMUI 9.1 based on
Android 9 Pie, Kirin 980 SoC, 4,200mAh battery, and dual-SIM support. We're
also seeing a new ‘Amber Sunrise' colour option for the first time, which looks
interesting. The P30 Pro will weigh around 191grams and measure about 8mm in
thickness.
Huawei seems to be heavily
banking on the camera prowess of the P30 Pro, but would that be enough make the
P30 Pro a success in India especially with that hefty price tag? There's no
doubt that this phone will compete directly with the Samsung Galaxy S10+, which
has already proven to have an excellent set of cameras. We'll just have to
wait a bit more to find out.
