The maximum expression of Huawei's hardware potential is excellently expressed by the Mate 30 Pro. Superlative camera, brilliant processor and high-quality display are the foundations of a smartphone capable only of giving satisfaction. As long as you carefully take care of the initial configuration of Android and the indispensable additional tools. Yes, because Mate 30 Pro, as well known, lacks Google Services: not that this penalizes or limits the power of the hardware in any way, if anything, it is necessary to adopt some initial precautions to have the degree of satisfaction that this smartphone deserves. .
Before delving into these meanders, it is good to specify a substantial fact: not only can Google services be added but you can also access a world of alternative app stores that do not make you regret that of Big G. The Mate 30 Pro is equipped with , for the record, of Android in an open source version, therefore compatible with all apps simply without the platform that supports access to Google Apps. This means that, as we will see, alternative applications must be used. But the camera, processor and hardware are managed at 100% of their potential because the imaging app is developed by Huawei in collaboration with Leica and offers the same level of quality and operation as the brand's previous models, plus a camera compartment. clearly superior to any other smartphone on the market.
The procedure is pretty quick. When you turn on the Mate 30 Pro for the first time, you have to choose to import data from another device, the old one. On the latter you need to install Phone Clone instead. At this point the configuration is intuitive: the old phone sends the data; the new Mate 30 Pro receives them. By setting the modes respectively in this way, on the display of the Mate 30 Pro you get a list of applications, photos, videos, messages, contacts and personal data to be transferred: choose all the items from the list (unless otherwise required) and start the operation. Phone Clone perfects the transition by leveraging fast Wi-Fi connectivity.
At the end of the procedure, no more than twenty minutes overall, the Mate 30 Pro has become a perfect clone of the old smartphone. With a clarification: Whatsapp, Facebook and any other app have passed with the exception of those of Google, which need the Big G framework.
Speculate the procedure to install the Appstore: simply open the page https://www.amazon.it/appstore and type the e-mail address registered on the Mate 30 Pro. You will receive the link to download the Apk package that contains the store. heavily stocked with applications.
Both stores deserve to find a place on the Mate 30 Pro. Aptoide because it allows you to download all the most popular apps and keep them updated without regretting Google's solution. That of Amazon because it is full of alternatives and original applications that compensate for the lack of Big G's apps. The combination given by these three stores (Huawei AppGallery, Aptoide and Amazon) allows you to use 100% the software qualities of the Mate 30 Pro; they are not the only solutions but we have chosen to suggest the most reliable and tested ones. There are other online stores: a golden advice is to install an antivirus as soon as possible, to avoid running into unreliable software. Always pay attention to the origin and what you install, be it on the Mate 30 Pro or on any other smartphone with Android.

Third step: install the Google framework
If you really can't resist the temptation to have Google services, the procedures to follow are the ones we suggest in these pages: how to get Google services with the Xda tutorial; how to install the Google platform; how to get the Gms on the Mate 30 Pro from the German Huawei blog.
These procedures involve a "low level" intervention on the operating system, adding components and going to maneuver on some rather delicate resources. Proceed if and only if you are sure and convinced that you want to modify Android in such an important way. The suggestions we have given you above are sufficient for any need. Given that the Mate 30 Pro itself is quite complete but, it is well known, habits are far from changing overnight. Choose to install the Android framework if you just can't do without it.
The experience of using the Mate 30 Pro
We have been using the Mate 30 Pro for about three weeks with a final version of the operating system and receiving the 10.0.0.173 update which has further improved the overall performance. After the first hours of adaptation and timely configuration of smartphone functions and tools, retrieving the supplementary apps from the stores, the Huawei flagship has entered the personal and work flow without any difference compared to the other top-of-the-range models. As a further confirmation that Google's services can be substituted, simply by paying attention to the apps to be installed.
We are lingering on the software side because the Mate 30 Pro borders on perfection, just don't be misled in your choice. Because the Emui 10 finally proposes a new level of maturity of the Huawei interface, offering a graphically more refined environment close to the standard Android configuration. It means that the use is more satisfying, the icons and details give a better homogeneity than previous editions of the Emui and also the contextual menu now offers a state of the art behavior. In short, the Emui 10 is capable of maximizing the experience of using the Mate 30 Pro, which does not disappoint in any area. Starting with its fundamental strength: photography.
The SuperSensing Camera of the Mate 30 Pro
The optical scheme of the Huawei flagship is the most elaborate and complete among the models of the Chinese brand and represents one of the reference points on the market; it is no coincidence that it was called SuperSensing Camera. Furthermore, consider that the general setting of the Mate 30 Pro, and the photographic one in an even more specific way, offer explicit suggestions on how the future P40 range will be set up.
The photographic scheme of the Mate 30 Pro is:
On the software side, Huawei has renewed the artificial intelligence algorithms of the photo management app in order to obtain even more precise Raw files. In particular, the new release of the application optimizes the Quad Bayer filter, which groups the pixels of the main photographic sensor into groups of 2 × 2 (effective shooting resolution of 10 Mpixel), in order to obtain a shot with lower photographic noise. , better textures and superior details.
These interventions are added to a higher level of demosaicing that reconstructs the color information in a more precise and faithful way, reducing artifacts and maintaining a high fidelity compared to the original scenario. Finally, the synergy between ToF 3D and the app engineered with Leica allows to obtain depth effects of higher quality than the average of the flagships on the market, with a better segmentation of the individual layers that allows to obtain a more faithful perimeter of the subject and better silhouetted on the gradient background.
We therefore tested it with this load of expectations and the Mate 30 Pro amazed by the quality of the images it took. One word: amazing. The photos amaze for their precise exposure, “grain” and definition of the elements, almost no defects even in the smallest and most distant details. If in good light conditions the Huawei flagship shows an impressive yield, in the dark and in low light the 30 Pro is exalted. The photos are overexposed and with a light that is not faithful but it matters little: the rendering is spectacular because an incredible scenery is displayed, almost painted for how you can play to make the lights stand out against the dark scenery. In every situation the zoom is precise, the wide angle a perfect creative plus.
On the video front, we like the stability and the accurate exposure and the lack of visual defects, even when the qualities of the Mate 30 Pro are squeezed to the maximum with 4K and in extreme conditions of light and use. Optical stabilization is the key to making the most of the cinematic qualities of Huawei's top of the range. Plus, 7,680 fps ultra slow motion lets you experiment with innovative footage.
The Kirin 990 does not disappoint
With the Mate 30 Pro we came into contact for the first time with the Kirin 990. The most recent edition of Huawei's Soc is assisted by 8 GB of Ram and 256 GB of storage. The Kirin 990 further extends the performance qualities of the 980 used on the P30 range and on the Mate 20. We went into the technical details of the processor in this in-depth article: https://igizmo.it/huawei-tutto-su-kirin-990-emui -10-harmony-os-e-p40 /
All without affecting the life of the 4,500 mAh battery. In our use, intense for work reasons, we always reached the end of the day, even with continuous use of the GPS. Finishing the working day has never been a problem and on the weekend, with a less demanding exploitation, you get to not recharge the phone in the night between Saturday and Sunday.
The screen-centric design
With the Mate 30 Pro, Huawei offers a new design. Starting with the suggestive round rear element that frames the photographic sensors to recall the logic of the reflex, up to the sublimation of the display that bends at the edges and hinges on the aluminum structure that can only be touched on the back.
The display is one of the strengths of the Mate 30 Pro. Listing in order of importance the merits of the smartphone are: imaging first, processor and then touchscreen. The 6.53-inch panel has a resolution of 2,400 × 1,176 pixels, a Full HD extended to respect the development in 18.5: 9. On a smartphone of this rank we would have liked to have seen a 4K display but this Oled conquers with its excellent white point and excellent color reproduction. The Mate 30 Pro proves to be excellent for the multimedia part and gaming, so much so that it rivals on par with dedicated models and offers adequate performance even for the most demanding users.
The display, which occupies over 94% of the front surface, folds to the side because it allows you to activate the gestures to adjust the volume: double tap on the side surface and the slider is activated, which can be controlled from the folded touchscreen. Build quality is high. The Mate 30 Pro sets new levels for Huawei. Furthermore, the two sensitive edges of the panel do not negatively affect the user experience, as is often the case with displays with curved edges. And, if desired, in the settings it is possible to adjust the display surface using only the front one and keeping the side one black and deactivated. In games, however, the sensitive side part allows you to activate virtual triggers when you hold the smartphone horizontally.
Overall, the Mate 30 Pro stands out, it is comfortable to use, it has compact dimensions, however the weight is close to 200 grams due to the solutions found. Despite the design, it's not fragile either. The Corning Gorilla Glass 6 sheet that covers the touchscreen is a guarantee of resistance. The supplied cover mainly protects the back. In short, Huawei's smartphone is not afraid of the main stresses of use, including water and dust by virtue of the IP68 certification.
It's just a pity that the 3.5mm jack is missing. On the other hand, the Ubs-C port accepts fast charging at 45 watts, which takes about three quarters of an hour to bring the battery back to 100%. Wireless charging is also supported.
