Patent applications show dual-tone design for the Huawei P30

The European patent office just published a few days ago a new patent application that shows two new colour options for the Huawei P30. One is a gradient variation of the P30's Breathing Crystal model. You can see that the top third of the phone is a separate panel, but it has a more subtle effect. The latter is a dual-tone paint job in a darker grey with off white, which is reminiscent of the "panda" version of the Pixel 2 XL. The applications suggest that Huawei might launch these models at IFA alongside the Mate 30 announcement. We don't know if the P30 Pro will get the colour options as well.

Huawei pushes photography limits with P30 series

Since Huawei has gained global recognition for its phones, the focus has always been on the camera capabilities of its devices. That is the same this time around. As they would say, the P30 and P30 Pro are evolutionary instead of being revolutionary. You can see the P30 Pro taking inspiration from the Mate 20 line, while the P30 looks like a refined version of the P20 Pro. It comes in eye-catching new colors with interesting names: Breathing Crystal, Amber Sunrise, Pearl White, Classical Black, and Aurora (a Huawei signature we’ve seen copied endlessly in the segment).

The P30 has a 6.1-inch FHD+ OLED display, while the P30 Pro has a 6.47-inch FHD+ Curved OLED screen. Huawei drops the bevy of cameras and sensors on the Mate 20 Pro to give both the P30 and P30 Pro a smaller dewdrop display, which the company claims is symmetric. These phones are said to be more compact with narrower bezels and a lighter build. But the P30 Pro retains the big battery of the Mate 20 Pro despite that (although when compared with the said phone, it is slightly heavier—granted it’s also a slightly bigger phone.

Huawei P30 leaks ahead of next week’s event

Huawei’s all set to launch another photo-centric flagship next week (on March 26, to be exact) but it seems someone pulled the trigger early and had the event page up for the new P30 series. Evan Blass spotted the leak, which has since been taken down. As was being rumoured, it features a quad-camera setup with a main 40-megapixel sensor and 10x hybrid zoom (which doubles from the P20 Pro’s 5X zoom). The low-light capability has gotten a boost here, too. There is also a new dual-view video mode, which can show you two of the four cameras at the same time in split-screen. This will let you see both a close-up and wide-angle view. It could make it easier for users to track distant, fast-moving subjects or switch between views easily. It isn’t known if the phone can record this way.

The page also showed the new Huawei Watch GT Active edition, which is being offered for free to P30 Pro buyers in Singapore. It’s going to run on Huawei’s own operating system and is seen as a sportier version of the Huawei Watch GT.
