Huawei\u2019s P30 Pro camera functionality is unrivaled, while an overhauled design minimises the presence of the front camera notch &#8211; expanding the edges of the OLED display.<\/p>\n<p>Major changes include the addition of in-screen optical fingerprint sensors, with the P30 Pro getting support for wireless charging.<\/p>\n<p>The P30 Pro also supports 40W fast wireless charging in addition to wireless quick charge and reverse wireless charging functionality.<\/p>\n<p>The display is almost completely bezel-less, with Huawei minimising the top and bottom bezels and removing the front speaker in favour of a sound-on display solution which vibrates the smartphone\u2019s screen to produce audio.<\/p>\n<p>And, aimed at young consumers, Huawei earlier this week launched the Huawei P30 lite into the local market, equipped with three rear cameras with support for ultra-wide angle photography and artificial intelligence (AI) features.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Making high quality photography accessible, it enables young photography enthusiasts to capture professional-quality images on a smartphone. The triple-camera setup comprises a 24MP main camera, an 8MP ultra-wide angle camera and a depth camera,&#8221; Huawei said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Best of all, the device has an impressive memory \u2013 4GB RAM + 128GB ROM \u2013 that can store all of these stunning photos, along with all your apps, videos, and more,&#8221; it said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cost<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Huawei P30 Pro: <strong>R16,499<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Huawei P30 lite: <strong>R5,999 <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Both\u00a0 variants are available at South Africa&#8217;s two largest network providers, Vodacom, and MTN.
