handsets available to purchase from local operators.<\/p>\n<p>The P30 range includes the flagship P30 and P30 Pro smartphones, with the P30 Lite aimed towards the mid-range market.<\/p>\n<p>Huawei also launched an e-commerce store which will sell these new models at recommended retail price (RRP).<\/p>\n<p>Cash prices currently listed for the devices on Huawei&#8217;s new website are as
