Huawei touted the phone's high-end camera features, with the more advanced P30 Pro coming with a quad-camera setup.
Huawei launched its new P30 smartphone alongside a new set of wireless headphones Tuesday, marking the Chinese tech giant's latest challenge to Apple and Samsung.
Huawei boasted the phone's ability to take pictures in darkly-light environments. It comes with a new light sensor that registers yellow pixels instead of green to absorb more light.Another feature the company is introducing with the new phone is what it calls dual-view video, which lets a user put two cameras to work simultaneously when recording clips.
Huawei said the P30 will have a starting price of about 799 euros, or $900, while the P30 Pro will cost 999 euros. For reference, its most recently announced premium tier phone, the foldable Mate X, is set to come with an eye-watering 2,299 euro price tag. The P30 Pro comes with a 6.47-inch display, while its less pricey counterpart comes with a smaller 6.1-inch screen. The phones also come with the in-screen fingerprint sensor seen in Huawei's Mate 20 and Samsung's Galaxy S10.
The headphones automatically pair with a smartphone via bluetooth when a USB cable hidden in the cord connecting them is inserted into the device, Huawei said. They can also be charged this way, using the phone's battery life.Peter Richardson, research director for tech strategies at Counterpoint Research, said the Chinese smartphone manufacturer's phones come with a"joy factor" because of their cameras that can't be found in Apple's iPhone.
The P30 launch comes not only at a time of slowing growth for the smartphone industry as a whole, but also as Huawei faces heightened political pressure from the United States.
