The P30 series also continues the tradition of the standard and Pro versions, with significant differences in configuration. The first is the screen, the P30 is a 6.1-inch Samsung AMOLED screen, and the Pro is a 6.47-inch BOE or LG OLED curved screen, both with a resolution of 1080 x 2340, but due to the different sizes, the P30 is 422PPI, slightly higher than the Pro's 398PPI. At the same time, because the screen of P30 adopts PenTile arrangement, ProAdopt BOE's GGRB arrangement, it is also P30 in terms of delicacy of appearance. In addition, the Pro version is low-frequency PWM dimming at a brightness of less than 99%, and under the same brightness, the strobe is more obvious than the standard version, and the screen quality is not as good as the standard version.

Another difference is the camera, the Pro version will have an 8 million pixel IMX520 telephoto, plus a periscope structure, which can achieve up to 50x digital zoom, while the standard version of the telephoto is OV08A10, 8 million pixels, triple optical zoom, and does not support 50x digital zoom. The P30 Pro has a wide-angle camera of 20 million pixels, the IMX350, and the P30 has 16 million pixels, and the IMX351.

Other minor differences are that the P30 supports IP53 waterproofing, the Pro version supports IP68 waterproofing, and the Pro version also supports 40W fast charging and 15W wireless fast charging, while the P30 does not. To sum up, the Pro version will have very complete flagship features, but the screen is a significant shortcoming compared to the standard version.

In terms of exterior design, the P30 and P30 Pro are no longer the same phone, except for the same color, the front screen look and feel and the rear camera arrangement are very different. The standard version only has three vertical cameras on the back, which looks a little more concise, while the Pro version has a small exclamation point in addition to the three cameras on the back, which is used to arrange the TOF camera and flash.

The back of the P30 Pro is 3D glass, which is very close to the hand, but it is not as rounded as the P20 Pro, and the whole material is relatively slippery, plus this shape and 208g weight, it is indeed easier to slip off. The P30 is an ordinary 2.5D glass, which is smaller in size and more comfortable to use, and the weight of 165g is also more suitable for long-term holding. The two models have their own advantages in terms of grip.

P30 ProThe front depends on personal preference,It uses 3D arc design to narrow the bezels on both sides,Very close to the left and right frameless,But because the front camera is as high as 32 million pixels,The camera module occupies a part of the space,Is there any special customization,So the area of this water drop is relatively large,And it does not make a smooth transition with the frame,The sense of presence of water droplets is particularly strong,The perception is particularly abrupt,It is recommended to hide water droplets。

The front of the Pro version is a1080P curved screen,This resolution is basically not fine in the 6.47-inch screen,Plus BOE's Delta arrangement,The edge of the font will have a very obvious sense of burr,The viewing angle is also very poor,A little bias will be yellowed,There will still be more obvious strobe under high brightness,In today's 4000Yuan price,This screen can be said to be the level at the bottom。

The overall quality of this screen is average, covering 97% of the sRGB color gamut in standard mode, with an average DeltaE of 4, and 99.6% of the sRGB color gamut in vivid mode, but only covering 80% of the DCI-P3 color gamut, and the color cast is a little more obvious than in standard mode, with an average sRGB DeltaE of 4.7 and an average P3 of 5.6. With a maximum brightness of 535 nits for manual use, 600 nits for all-white, and 739 nits for chicken blood mode, it is not a big problem to use normally outdoors in bright light.

The P30 series does not have a high and low configuration option in terms of performance, the SoC uses the Hisilicon Kirin 980, and the GPU part is Mali G76-MP10. At present, in the Android camp, there are not many SoC options for flagship phones, which are nothing more than the Snapdragon 855, Kirin 980 and Samsung's Exynos 9820, which is only used in some overseas markets.

From the architectural point of view, Kirin 980 uses two A76 large cores (2.60GHz), two A76 medium cores (1.92GHz) plus four A55 small cores (1.80GHz), Snapdragon 855 is one A76 large core, the main frequency is increased to 2.84GHz, three A76 medium cores (2.4GHz), plus four A55 small cores (1.8GHz).

Judging from the Geekbench score, the Kirin 980 single-core is around 3300 points, while the Snapdragon 855 relies on a 2.84GHz large core, and the score is in the normal range of 3500-3600 points. In the multi-core section, the Snapdragon 855 is above 11,000 points, while the Kirin 980 is around 9,800 points. In terms of PCMark scores, the Snapdragon 855 is around 8900 points, and the Kirin 980 is around 7500 points. Overall, the CPU performance of the Kirin 980 is not as good as that of the Snapdragon 855.

In the GPU part, the Mali G76-MP10 of the Kirin 980 is at a disadvantage compared to the Adreno630 of the Snapdragon 845, and the gap is even more obvious compared to the Adreno640 of the Snapdragon 855. In the Car Chase off-screen tests, where GFxBench averages both low, the Snapdragon 855 was able to reach 42 fps, while the Kirin 980 was only able to reach 30 fps. In the 3DMark test, the Snapdragon 855 averaged above 5400 points, and the Kirin 980 scored below 3600 points, and in the test, the Kirin 980 also experienced frame drops that were visible to the naked eye.

In order to make up for the weakness of the GPU, Huawei uses GPU Turbo, but on some previous models, it is to reduce the screen resolution to achieve the effect of stable frame rate, and in the face of games with high GPU requirements, such as Honkai Impact III, there will still be obvious frame rate fluctuations in long-term games.

The camera function is the biggest selling point of the P30 series, whether it is a foreign press conference or a domestic press conference, it takes a lot of space to introduce the camera function, and even in some scenes, there is an unreasonable comparison with friends. From the hardware point of view, the P30 Pro continues the high specifications of Huawei's flagship, with a telephoto (800w, IMX520) on the rear, a wide-angle main camera (40 million, IMX600y), an ultra-wide angle (20 million pixels, IMX350), and a TOF camera.

The P30 Pro is by far the highest-scoring device with a DxO Mark score of 119 points, a 97 points for video, and an 89 score for selfies, but the P30 Pro seems to be more suitable for a lab camera than a camera phone for everyday use. In a blind test conducted by Phonearena, they voted for more than 3,000 users on seven sets of photos taken by the iPhone XS, Samsung S10+ and Huawei P30 Pro, with the S10+ winning five times, the iPhone XS winning two, and the P30 Pro winning none. If it's just a dozen people voting, it lacks reference value, but the number of people exceeds 3000, it's very valuable for reference, especially the group with the most votes for P30 Pro is only 17%, and the rest are around 10%.

P30 ProThe main camera CMOS is IMX600y, the basis is IMX600, and the latter y refers to yellow, that is, the original RGGB green filter is replaced with a yellow filter, and yellow, red, and blue are used to restore the color seen by the human eye. This array is not the first of its kind to Huawei, as early as 2013, Aptina has applied for this patent, at that time Aptina proposed that due to the larger bandwidth of the Y filter, the blocking effect is worse, and the amount of light will be increased, but it will also lead to pixel crosstalk, affecting color guessing, and the artifact problem is that RYYB's pixel crosstalk at all incident angles is more serious than RGGB, especially at 45 degrees, there will be very obvious artifacts. After the acquisition of the Aptina by OnSemi, RYYB was mainly used as a sensor for automobiles, rather than as a shooting sensor.

The RYYB array also has a very obvious impact in real shooting, and there will be yellowish and reddish imaging in a variety of scenes, especially in scenes with blue sky and green trees, the leaves will be obviously yellowish and lose their due vitality, and when there is a large amount of red and yellow in the scene at the same time, there will be serious problems with color reproduction. In terms of taking pictures, it is also possible to minimize the impact of the color filter array through algorithms, but it is difficult in video, because the processing time is very short, so when shooting videos, the phenomenon of yellowish faces often occurs.

Increasing the amount of light entering is a great help for low-light shooting and night scene photography, which is also the most commendable point of the P30 Pro in terms of photography. In terms of night scenes,Because the visibility of green at night is very low,The lights are basically white、Yellow-based,RYYB The transmission of the array is officially claimed to be higher than RGGB40%,It can show a brighter night scene,And P30 ProThe resolution of the main camera is also quite good,More details are retained than SamsungS10+,The picture is also cleaner,As for whether you like to shoot the night as the adjustment of the day,It's a matter of opinion,Purely from the perspective of the ability of night imaging,P30 Pro is currently the strongest。

As for ISO 409600, which is comparable to SonyA7S2's ultra-high sensitivity, it is basically digital gain, shoot RAW with a lower ISO, and then pull up the brightness, you can also achieve the effect of high ISO, which is a routine operation in Lightroom, in order to avoid the noise that occurs when the brightness is increased, but now P30 Pro puts this action in the calculation process.

P30 Pro's main 50x hybrid zoom this time is calculated from the ultra-wide angle, the focal length of the ultra-wide-angle lens is 25mm (equivalent to 16mm), and there is also a periscope telephoto lens, which places a telephoto lens equivalent to 125mm focal length horizontally in the fuselage, which can achieve 5x optical zoom.

In the hybrid zoom, 1-3x is digitally zoomed by the main camera, 3-5x is completed by the main camera and telephoto, the middle part of the photo is the image of the telephoto lens, and the surrounding is the image of the main camera, and the two are merged by the algorithm, so it is called hybrid zoom, 5-10x This part is the multi-frame synthesis of the telephoto lens, and 10x-50x is already a simple digital zoom.

This hybrid zoom features a 50x zoom look, as it has dual OIS and AIS stabilization to avoid blurring due to hand shake. Actually, the hardest part is at 3-5x zoom, because this place requires two lenses to do together, plus the help of algorithms. In DxO Mark's tests, there was noticeably less detail around the frame than in the center of the frame at 4x zoom, which isn't a big problem for everyday use, but you need to be careful if you need to print large photos.

P30 Pro's moon mode has also caused a lot of controversy,From the actual hardware point of view,P30 Pro does have the ability to shoot the moon,As long as you call up the video mode,Pull it to50X zoom,Then turn the exposure down,You can see the moon clearly。 The photography mode has a background processing time, while the camera mode is what you see and what you get, which is easy to verify. The problem is that Moon Mode's AI algorithm adds details that weren't in the original photo when the shot is blurry, and optimizes the image when the shot is clear, which means that you don't see the same moon as you see in the frame. It's a good feature from a user experience perspective, but it's up to you whether you like the glorified photos or not.

In terms of system, P30 Pro is equipped with EMUI 9.1 based on Android 9.0, but what was written at the press conference was EMUI9.1 + Android 9.0, which made people mistakenly think that EMUI is a self-developed system. EMUI 9.1 has a lot of improved icons compared to before, but the style is still more mature, but it also provides a lot of theme customization. The full-screen gesture is very similar to MIUI, and it is also very convenient to use, without too many slots, but this curved screen has a certain chance of being touched by mistake.

In terms of charging range, there is a big difference between the standard version and the Pro version, the standard version has a 3650mAh battery, which only supports 22.5W charging, and the Pro version has a large 4200mAh battery, which also supports 40W fast charging and 15W wireless charging. The P30 Pro can reach 70% power in 30 minutes with a 40W ultra-fast charger, and it only takes 55 minutes to fully charge from 5% to 100%, which is also considered the first echelon in the same price range.
