Huawei unveiled the Mate 30 Pro at a launch event in Munich, Germany. This beautiful smartphone is Huawei’s latest flagship and there was a strong emphasis on the imaging capabilities of the device.

The Mate 30 and Mate 30 Pro comes with a large, circular camera bump that Huawei is calling the “Halo Ring.”
Inside, on the imaging front, the Mate 30 Pro feature a Leica-branded camera unit on the rear of the devices that features four cameras:

a 40-megapixel ‘Cine Camera’
a 40-megapixel ‘SuperSensing’ lens
an 8-megapixel Telephoto sensor
a 3D Depth Sensing camera

Huawei says the ‘Cine’ lens is there to capture videos at 4K/60fps, as well as ultra slow-motion at 7680fps. The ‘SuperSensing’ lens is there to improve low-light photography. The Telephoto lens, meanwhile, offers 3x optical zoom, 5x Hybrid Zoom and up to 30x Digital Zoom.

On the front is a 3D Depth Sensing Camera, for portrait-style shots and bokeh effects.

Considering the image processing capabilities of the Kirin 990 chipset, it shouldn’t come as a surprise the Mate 30 Pro will feature impressive photo and video capabilities. In addition to 4K video at 60 frames per second, the phones can also capture slo-mo 1080p video at up to 960 fps and 720p video at up to 7,680 fps. Huawei also showed off a 4K HDR+ time-lapse function with up to 12-hours of recording as well as a real-time ‘cinematic bokeh’ mode for video.

Alongside the flagship Mate 30 Pro, Huawei also announced the more budget-friendly Mate 30. The Mate 30 features a slightly larger display but a decreased resolution of 2,340 x 1,080 pixels. It also swaps out the 40-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera for a 16-megapixel sensor and a slower f2.2 aperture, removes the ToF sensor the Mate 30 Pro offers and shrinks the battery to 4,200mAh.
Video from the camera modules is also limited in the Mate 30; 4K video can still be shot at 60 fps, but slo-mo is limited to 960 fps in 720p. Interestingly enough, Huawei has included a 3.5mm headphone jack in the Mate 30 while ditching it for the Mate 30 Pro, so if you want wired audio, you’re better off with the Mate 30.
The Mate 30 Pro will come in six colors: silver, green, purple, black and two vegan leather options— green and orange. The device is IP68 water- and dust-resistant.

The Huawei Mate 30 will be available with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage starting at $799. The Mate 30 Pro will feature 8GB of storage as well, but boost internal storage to 256GB starting at $1099 for the 4G model and $1199 for the 5G model.
