5 reasons why Huawei P30 is a must consider too!

Small but powerful

1. Stunning design, compact size - Like its bigger sibling P30 also features 3D glass design with stylish breathing crystal, black, and aurora color options. For the screen, it highlights a smaller 6.1-inch FHD+ OLED screen with tiny dewdrop notch versus the 6.47-inch of the P30 Pro. It has an even smaller chin bezel than the P30 Pro.

Since it has a massive screen-to-body ratio, the phone is also small for the screen size. Yes, it is a phone with 6.1-inch display with a 149.1 x 71.36 mm body and 7.57 mm slimness. Its body is even smaller as the other phone from Apple with a 5.5-inch small screen.

Power of a 7nm chip

2. As fast as P30 Pro - Like the P30 Pro, P30 also runs with the Kirin 980 chipset with Dual-NPU (AI) and Mali-G76 MP10 GPU. It even has the same 8GB of RAM. The storage and battery size are smaller at 128GB and 3,650mAh, but for the price its fine.

Moreover, it is also loaded with features such as 4G LTE Cat 21, 22.5 SuperCharge tech, and In-Display fingerprint scanner.

Triple-cam

3. New gen triple Leica cameras - Coming from the Mate 20 Pro, Huawei said that they upgraded the main Leica 40MP f/1.8 camera of the P30. It is also paired with a 16MP f/2.2 ultra-wide sensor, and an 8MP sensor with 3x telephoto zoom. It also has a 32MP f/2.0 front shooter with AI HDR tech for against the light selfies.

3.5 mm headphone jack!

4. Headphone jack is back! - Unlike the P20 series and the P30 Pro, P30 has a headphone jack slot. Fun fact: Everyone loves the 3.5mm headphone jack. You use it to plug your headphones or microphones without the need of a USB-C dongle straight to your phone.

5. More affordable price tag - Huawei P30 is priced at just PHP 36,990. It is one of the most affordable flagships today. Its competitor, the Samsung Galaxy S10 is priced at PHP 49,990. Not bad right?

P30 may not have all the goodies found on the P30 Pro such as the 256GB storage, periscope cam, wireless charging, IR blaster, and IP68 rating, but it doesn't mean that it is not a powerful machine.

P30 could actually be the right phone for those in need of a more compact design with still powerful hardware and flagship-worthy cameras for much less.

There is still a huge market for those in need of a smaller phone. Sometimes, less is more.
