REVIEW
The P-series has always led with camera
innovations, while the Mate series has been the
bigger-screened cousin that focused more on
performance (and rivalling Samsung’s Galaxy Note
range). Not only has the P30 Pro’s screen grown to
6.5in, which is bigger than the Mate 20 Pro’s, but it
also adopts the Mate’s curved edges on the front and
back. There’s an in-screen fingerprint scanner as well,
which is what allows the screen to be a taller 19.5:9
aspect ratio, compared to 18.7:9 on the P20 Pro.
The bottom edge of the P30 Pro is flatter than
the Mate 20 Pro’s and the double-sided SIM tray is to
the left of the USB-C port. There’s a more traditional
speaker grille instead of using the USB port as the Mate
20 Pro does, but because of the new in-screen speaker,
which is used for phone calls, the P30 Pro’s audio
prowess takes a step back to mono instead of stereo.
