Huawei launches P30 Pro New Edition: New wine jar, with Google app, priced at $ 800

Huawei P30 Pro is one of the best-selling flagship smartphones in 2019. And despite the launch of the P40 series two months ago, Huawei still decided to revive the P30 Pro smartphone to be able to sell in Europe. Au.

Still a story between Huawei, US and Google. The newly launched P40 series is not allowed to install and use Google applications and services. Things that are very familiar to users such as Gmail, Google Maps, Play Store are not available, making the P40 smartphones can not be sold in the European market.

Therefore, Huawei came up with a way. It is reviving the P30 Pro smartphone, with the “body” that has been licensed to use Google services, before the US ban took effect. And today, the P30 Pro New Edition is officially launched, with the Google app pre-installed.

Huawei P30 Pro New Edition has a 6.5-inch OLED screen and 4 rear cameras similar to the 2019 version. The rear 4 cameras include a 40MP main sensor supporting Night Mode, an ultra-wide 20MP camera, a camera 8MP telephoto with 5x optical zoom and ToF sensor to measure the depth of the object. The exterior design is no different with the P30 Pro.

The specifications of the P30 Pro New Edition are identical to the P30 Pro version 2019, with Kirin 980 chip and 8GB of RAM. Fingerprint sensor under the optical screen. 4,200 mAh battery capacity, supports wireless charging, wireless reverse charging and 40W wired fast charging. The only difference is probably the storage capacity is upgraded from 128GB to 256GB.

The Huawei P30 Pro New Edition will cost 749 EUR (809 USD). Available in Aurora, Silver Frost and Black. When it was first launched, the P30 Pro was priced at 999 EUR in the European market. Therefore, the P30 Pro New Edition is no different than a discounted P30 Pro 256GB.

It can be seen that Huawei really has entered a dead end, when there is no way to sell new smartphones in markets outside of China. Even if you’ve developed your own app store, your dependency on Google’s apps and services is far too great.
