Does Huawei P30 Pro Have Headphone Jack

Huawei unveiled its brand new flagship phone — the P30 and the P30 Pro — at a press conference today in Paris. In many ways, this year'south update is a continuation of the P20 series — but everything has been upgraded. I played with both devices for a flake; here's my experience.

While Huawei's sub-brand Honor has switched to a pigsty-dial pattern, Huawei is keeping the good old notch for its flagship device. But this year's notch is a lot smaller. The company has switched from an iPhone X-similar notch to a tiny little teardrop notch.

The P20 and P20 Pro were the final flagship phones to feature a fingerprint sensor below the brandish, on the front of the device. With the P30 series, Huawei is removing that odd-looking bezel and integrating the fingerprint sensor in the display.

The company could have used that opportunity to brand the phones smaller. But Huawei opted for taller displays instead. The P20 and P20 Pro had 5.eight-inch and vi.1-inch displays, respectively, with an 18.seven:9 attribute ratio. The P30 and P30 Pro have gigantic 6.1-inch and 6.47-inch displays, respectively, with a 19.five:9 aspect ratio.

The P30 Pro is still narrower than the iPhone XR, but information technology won't be for anybody. It definitely feels also big in my hand, for instance.

The industrial blueprint of the P30 series is in line with the P20 series. The phones characteristic drinking glass on the dorsum with colorful gradients. The frame is made of aluminum. Overall, the devices feel slimmer on the edges thanks to curved back and front end drinking glass. The visitor has flattened the height and bottom edges of the devices also. Everything feels solid in your paw.

The P30 and P30 Pro are now closer when information technology comes to features. They both have an OLED display with a 2340×1080 resolution for instance. You no longer have to choose betwixt an LCD and an OLED brandish.

The ii biggest differences you can spot is that the P30 Pro has a Samsung-mode brandish, slightly curved on the sides — the P30 display is completely flat — and Huawei is bringing back the headphone jack, simply only for the P30. It doesn't actually make sense to segment the lineup this way, only possibly Huawei considers you accept enough coin to purchase wireless earbuds if you're in the market for a P30 Pro.

Both devices come in five colors — Breathing Crystal, Amber Sunrise, Perl White, Black and Aurora. Amber Sunrise is a red to orange slope color, Animate Crystal is a white-to-purple slope, Perl White is a white-to-slightly pinkish gradient, Aurora is a blue-to-turquoise gradient.

You'll be able to purchase the P30 for €799 ($900) with 128GB of storage and the P30 Pro for €999 ($1,130) for 128GB of storage — there are more expensive options for the P30 Pro with more storage. The phones will be available in Europe and Asia today, and probably won't exist released in the U.Due south.

Four camera sensors, because why not

When it comes to cameras, Huawei has e'er been one of the leading smartphone manufacturers. There are merely 4 brands that ship cameras that perform then well — Apple, Samsung, Google and Huawei.

Information technology's going to be hard to annotate on the quality of the photos afterward so niggling hands-on time, but the P30 Pro now features not one, not two, not iii but f-o-u-r sensors on the back of the device.

The principal photographic camera is a 40 MP 27mm sensor with an f/1.half-dozen aperture and optical epitome stabilization.
There'due south a 20 MP ultra-broad angle lens (16mm) with an f/2.two discontinuity.
The 8 MP telephoto lens provides almost 5x optical zoom compared to the master lens (125mm) with an f/3.4 discontinuity and optical image stabilization.
There'south a new time-of-flying sensor beneath the wink of the P30 Pro. The phone projects infrared light and captures the reflection with this new sensor.

Thank you to the new time-of-flying sensor, Huawei promises amend bokeh furnishings with a new depth map. The visitor also combines the master photographic camera sensor with the telephoto sensor to let you capture photos with a 10x zoom with a hybrid digital-optical zoom.

The telephoto lens uses a periscope design. Information technology means that the sensor features a glass to beam the low-cal at a correct bending. Huawei uses that method to avoid making the phone too thick.

On the P30, the cameras are more or less the aforementioned, only a fleck worse:

A twoscore MP primary sensor with an f/i.8 aperture and optical image stabilization.
A 16 MP ultra-wide bending lens with an f/2.2 discontinuity.
An 8 MP telephoto lens that should provide 3x optical zoom.
No time-of-flight sensor.

More than hardware specifications, Huawei says that software has been greatly improved to raise the quality of your photos. In item, night mode should be much meliorate cheers to optical and software-enabled stabilization. HDR shots and portrait photos should look meliorate too.

On the forepart of the device, the selfie camera sensor has been upgraded from 24 MP to 32 MP. And you tin can capture HDR and depression-light photos from the front camera too.

Below the surface

Huawei has upgraded its homemade organization-on-a-chip with the Kirin 980 that you can notice in the Mate xx and Mate 20 Pro. Information technology runs Android Pie 9.one with Huawei's EMUI custom Android user interface.

In addition to 40W USB-C charging, Huawei is integrating wireless charging for the offset time in the P serial (up to 15W). The P30 Pro has a iv,200 mAh battery. Yous can also charge other devices with reverse wireless charging, just like on the Samsung Galaxy S10.

The P30 Pro is IP68 h2o and grit resistant while the P30 is IP53 resistant.

You won't find a speaker grill at the top of the P30 Pro because the visitor has removed the speaker. Instead, Huawei is vibrating the screen in order to turn the screen into a tiny speaker for your calls.

A note on the Huawei FreeLace wireless earphones

Huawei is also launching new in-ear earbuds today. The FreeLace looks more or less similar the BeatsX with a cord behind your neck. You tin can disconnect the string and plug your wireless earphones directly into your smartphone to pair them — no Bluetooth pairing required.

That hidden USB-C port is also how y'all're going to charge the earbuds. For v minutes of charge time y'all become four hours worth of playback. They'll exist available in four colors — Graphite Black, Amber Sunrise, Emerald Dark-green and Moonlight Silvery.

The earbuds are magnetic so you lot can wrap them around your neck. When you disconnect them, it automatically answers your calls, play your music. When you lot connect them again, information technology hangs upwards or pauses your music. The FreeLace earbuds will be a separate accompaniment for €99.
