Huawei P30 Pro
Apparently Huawei’s P30 Pro can make phone calls. Not that you’ll have much time for such archaic activities with this octa-core Kirin 980-powered monster in your hand.
The teardrop notch and in-screen fingerprint sensor mean a 6.47in 2340x1080 OLED almost entirely covers the front of the Pro, but it’s round the back where most of the magic happens, with a whole range of AI-assisted cameras. There’s a 40MP f/1.6 sensor with ultra-wide-angle lens, a 20MP f/2.2 wide-angle, an 8MP job with 5x optical periscope zoom, plus a clever depth-sensing time-of-flight sensor. That 40MP main camera uses SuperSpectrum tech for better capturing of light in the darkness, plus you can shoot video with two different sensors simultaneously, offering footage from close up and zoomed out at the same time. Oh, and there’s a 32MP selfie camera on the front.
