Which phone takes the better photos? We head to Paris to find out.

Huawei hopes the four cameras on the back of the P30 Pro will take down the Galaxy S10 Plus.

With low-light skills and a huge 10x zoom lens, the P30 Pro is coming for Samsung.

It's not just millennials, companies engage in meme wars too - earlier today Huawei took a swipe at Apple and has now itself come under attack from Xiaomi. As they say, it's an older meme, sir, but it checks out. 🤔 pic.twitter.com/dnHbuAnvV1— Xiaomi UK (@XiaomiUK) March 26, 2019 That is not to say that it is necessarily the truth. The Huawei P30 and P30 Pro use the Kirin 980, which is a 7nm chipset with Cortex-A76-based CPU cores. So, not unlike the Snapdragon 855 chipset that Xiaomi uses for its own flagships. Head over to the Performance section of our P30 Pro review to...

An unexpected leak just appeared on Weibo giving away some details regarding an upcoming Exynos chipset - the Exynos 9710. The info comes from Ice Universe, who has solid track record with Samsung-related leaks. We are looking at a pretty powerful upper-mid-range chipset, to succeed Exynos 9610 from last year. It is expected to feature 4x Cortex-A76 cores clocked at 2.1 GHz and 4x Cortex-A55 cores ticking at 1.7 GHz. The GPU is Mali-G76 MP8 running at 650 MHz. Compared to the Exynos 9610, the 9710 offers CPU and GPU performance gains and since it's based on the 8nm process, it will...

How good are the pictures from Huawei's new flagship phone? I took it around Paris to find out.

The just-announced Huawei P30 Pro has shot up to the top of the DxOMark charts. With a score of 112, it leaves behind the three-way tie between the Mate 20 Pro, P20 Pro and Galaxy S10 Plus (all sitting on 109). The new flagship aced the photography segment with an untouchable score of 119. This high score is largely thanks to the high quality zoom and bokeh rendering. They rely on two new pieces of hardware on the Leica-branded Huawei cameras - the 125mm periscope camera and the 3D ToF sensor. The zoom camera is the best on the market and not just for its periscope design, the...

Sony has launched the second generation version of its compact, rugged video camera, the RX0 II. The RX0 II is roughly similar in size and shape to its predecessor but features some notable improvements. RX0 II The main new feature here is a tilting LCD on the back. While the RX0 had a fixed display, the display on the RX0 II can be tilted up and down or flipped up completely so you can take self portraits from the front. Despite the addition of a moving display, the RX0 II is still water-resistant up to 10m, dustproof, shockproof up to 2m and crushproof up to 200kg...

Huawei has completely blurred the lines between its signature Mate and P series by raising the bar higher and higher every six months. And it has done it yet again with the Huawei P30 Pro - now with an even larger AMOLED screen and a brand-new quad-camera setup that aims to become the new benchmark for the whole industry.

Paris is the battleground for Huawei and Samsung's latest flagships.

We put the P30 Pro's cameras through their paces on the Parisian streets.

The Huawei P30 Pro can get you closer to the action than any other phone on the market - its 8MP periscope zoom camera reaches a focal length of 125mm. Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) helps keep photos looking sharp and videos smooth. Huawei and Leica also upgraded the two other cameras with exclusive features. Sony provided a custom 40MP sensor with a RYYB color filter arrays - Yellow takes the spot of Green for even better low light performance (Huawei was already a leader in this field). The maximum ISO is now double what the Mate 20 Pro could pull off and is further helped by the...

The P30 Pro may be the star of the show, but let's not ignore the non-Pro P30 - the slightly down-specced model in Huawei's just-announced P-series roster. While we had the P30 Pro for an extended time, the P30 we only managed to snatch for a brief hands-on, so here it goes.

The leaks marathon is finally over as Huawei P30 was officially unveiled. It doesn't have the 5x periscope zoom camera of its big brother P30 Pro, but still has plenty to offer. It is the first vanilla variant of a Huawei flagship with AMOLED panel and under-display fingerprint reader and now has three cameras on its back. Huawei P30 Huawei P30 runs on the Kirin 980 chipset and it arrives in four RAM/storage variants - 6GB/128 GB, 8GB/64 GB, 8GB/128 GB, and 8GB/256 GB. Storage can be expanded via a Nano Memory card that goes in the second SIM slot. The display is a 6.1"...

Along with its new Huawei P30 phones, the company also announced its wireless Bluetooth earphones called Huawei Freelace. These buds can either be used wirelessly or via the USB-C on the phone. The first time you plug them into the phone, the HiPair feature negotiates with the phone and pairs with it. They can then be charged or used for listening over the USB-C. The Freelace come with 9.2mm dynamic drivers and are designed with symmetrical controls on the left and right sides. The cable uses nickel and titanium alloy mixed with silicone, which results in tangle-free experience,...

Oppo will release the Reno on April 10, and we know it will have 10x zoom. It will arrive in three colors and will have plenty of hardware variants, but one of the big questions was the front panel. Thanks to a leaked hands-on video, we finally know the the phone will have a full-screen design - no notches, no holes. This means the selfie camera will likely be in an elevating mechanism, although we might be up for a surprise. Oppo Reno front and back Although there are two weeks until the official launch, we are already pretty sure the Reno will have a 5G variant with...

Huawei really loves Paris - both the Huawei P20 and the Honor View 20 were introduced to the global audience in the French capital. Now the spotlight takes Huawei P30 and Huawei P30 Pro which will be announced at the Palais des Congres. The event begins at 2 PM local time and will be live streamed on all major social media platforms. We've already covered what to expect from the launch - new cameras with 10x zoom in the Huawei P30 Pro and a triple setup in the Huawei P30. Both will have waterdrop notches and UD fingerprint scanners. The chipset is most likely Kirin 980, while RAM +...

The highly successful Redmi Note 5 Pro that was launched in Ferbuary 2018 is receiving MIUI 10 Global Beta 9.3.25 update that finally upgrades it to Android Pie. In addition to that, this beta update also brings system-wide dark mode and the Game Turbo to the Redmi Note 5 Pro. The latter is actually the Game Speed Booster that Xiaomi introduced with the Mi 9. This update also comes along with a redesigned Settings page. However, do note that this isn't a stable update. If you couldn't wait to get Android Pie and other features on your Redmi Note 5 Pro, you can flash it to your...

Samsung Galaxy A70 and Galaxy A60 appeared yesterday on TENAA, but only with pictures and basic specs. A day later the A70 was already announced, while the latter got its listing completed with all its specs. TENAA reveals that the Galaxy A60 will arrive with a 32 MP in-screen selfie camera, tall 19.5:9 screen and 6GB or 8 GB RAM. Samsung Galaxy A60 The screen is 6.3" in diagonal and has Full HD+ resolution. The CPU is listed as "2.0 GHz/1.7 GHz" which we assume is an unreleased octa-core Exynos chipset with two power cores at the higher frequency, and the other six...

Prior to the new AirPods announcement, rumors pointed that a more durable coating and black color option would finally grace Apple's wireless earbuds. While Apple did not bring those features to the second gen AirPods, it looks like the upcoming PowerBeats Pro will. The official design of the new wireless Beats and their charging case were found hidden in the brand new iOS 12.2 update. The new model features a charging case with a Lightning connector on the back, similar to the AirPods. We should expect identical pairing process and features like hands-free "Hey, Siri" thanks to the...

Interested in the Apple Card? Read this first.

Earlier this month we were treated to CAD renders of the OnePlus 7 which revealed its design. Today we are looking at some more renders of this upcoming OnePlus flagship that show it off in different colors. These renders of the OnePlus 7 have been created by YouTuber Waqar Khan and show the smartphone in four colors - two of which are gradients. In terms of design, these renders are in line with a previous leak by OnLeaks and in all likeliness they were based on it. Over two weeks ago, the OnePlus 7 was spotted on a retailer's website along with its specifications which include...

Your Apple Card questions, answered.

Apple introduced yesterday plenty of services, while Huawei is unveiling the P30 lineup today. Although the timeline appears to be a coincidence, Huawei Ireland did not hold back and decided to throw shade at Cupertino and tweeted "Thanks for the warm up Tim" with the actual punctuation errors. Although some might find the tweet funny, commenters below immediately went into hivemind mentality and started attacking the Chinese phone manufacturer, including highlighting the fact that the company CFO Meng Wanzhou had three Apple products on herself at the time of arrest. Others...

Lenovo's upcoming flagship Z6 Pro was teased during MWC but we never got to see the actual phone. Now, the company's VP Chang Cheng announced on Weibo that the device will be unveiled on March 27. The main focus of the upcoming Lenovo flagship seems to be its camera capabilities with the Hyper Vision sensor promising a leap forward in image and video quality. Sadly, there is still no clear indication what's so Hyper about it. The phone might also sport 5G connectivity to fit in with the new trend. There are also speculations that a non-5G variant of the Z6 Pro could launch as soon...

HMD has published an invite for the unveiling of the Nokia X71. The event will be held in Taiwan on April 2 and will also feature the Nokia 9 PureView, HMD's best camera phone for now (but perhaps not once the event is over). The X71 - which should eventually launch as Nokia 8.1 Plus globally - will be HMD's first phone to feature a 48MP sensor. This camera will be paired with a 120° ultra-wide shooter, both with Zeiss optics. This will also be the first Nokia to sport a punch hole selfie camera, as seen in these renders. The screen should measure 6.22". Nokia 8.1 Plus...

Xiaomi took the wraps off the budget Mi Play smartphone in China last December, and it's taken this long for it to reach Europe - but it finally has. The Mi Play is now official for the Ukrainian market, where it was unveiled today. The device can be yours for UAH 4,699, which at the moment translates into roughly $174 or €154. That's only around $11 more than its price in China, it's good not to see a huge markup as it sometimes happens when phones originally launched over there make it to Europe. For now Xiaomi doesn't seem to have any plans to launch the Mi Play in other places,...
