An additional time-of-flight camera provides detailed depth information for portrait photos. Cameras aside, the Huawei P30 Pro stands out with a fingerprint reader in the display, a large, 4200mAh battery, and a 6.5-inch OLED screen filling all its front.

Best phone I've owned.
Phone owned for less than a month

I've owned this phone for about 30 hours (lowest end config, 128GB storage and 6GB RAM), and I can already say it's the best phone I've owned. First of all, the camera. I've heard Huawei phones have the best cameras, and my P30 Pro can confirm this. 40MP 4K on the rear cameras, and 32mp 1080p on the front camera. The phone has wireless charging, which is great, and it included a 40W Charger! It has a fingerprint sensor inside the screen, and Face ID (although I prefer fingerprint), and alongside that, an OLED screen! But like with all phones, there are some issues too. The screen is only 1080p, which is a downside. The back of the phone is glass, which means it can crack easily, and also, like most modern phones, no headphone jack. Thankfully, it comes with USB-C earbuds (which look exactly like earpods) It also has an NM card slot instead of a MicroSD, which is annoying. But aside from those issues, the p30 pro is a great phone.

One of the Best
Phone owned for less than a year

The P30 pro is one of the best phones in the world, I have it for about 8 months and I'm satisfied, the camera is incredible, the battery and many other things, the only problem I had was that the speakers were not like the s10 or any other models. And the earphones you get in the package sucks

Definitely not perfect. There are some problems.
Phone owned for less than a year

There are many good things in this phone. Camera, speed, display, etc.
However, there are many problems that make this phone not perfect.
The most important at the moment I would say is data connectivity issue. I have noticed on both, WiFi and on mobile data, throughput and connectivity problems. Pretty much each day happens that network radio or other application stops working. Then I realize that for example WiFi that should be around 100-400 Mb/s is down to 5 Mb/s. In both cases a restart makes things right. That is not acceptable.
There is also some really strange thing about audio in general. Volume goes much lower couple of minutes after starting a stream in different applications. After a while volume tend to go back to normal. Noticed only on speaker.
They claim to have a 40MP camera sensor. But when you set it to 40MP, zoom stays unavailable. There is no fast way of switching it.
Another thing is that is supports super fast charging, but my tests show that charging slows down very fast. Seems that it may use full charger power the first 2 minutes. But then battery temperature rises and charging slows down eventually to just 1/3 or even less of it.
Always On Display is not so nice as in Samsung. Quite limited.
Recording of calls is blocked. Only from mic.
Bluetooth may not be controlled by third-party apps.
No option to turn off vibration and sound each time phone is attached to a charger or put on the charging pad.
Screen brightness may be adjusted from the top menu, but not the switch for automatic brightness.
No way to control by choice of where audio should go.
SMS app does not show phone number under the name of recipient.
Data counter does not show data from previous periods.
