The Galaxy Note 10 opens with drums and cymbals but we still have to wait for the Huawei Mate 30 and Huawei Mate 30 Pro. These two phones will relieve the Huawei Mate 20 and improve many of the features presented in the P30 and P30 Pro, but pay close attention, because the leaks in its design, at the moment already about three months after its supposed launch, are a bit contradictory.

CNET sources in Spanish confirmed that the Huawei Mate 30 will arrive in autumn 2019. Among other details they told us that the phone will release a processor and that it will include some improvements, including the battery charge and developments in the Artificial Intelligence of the cell phone and possibly its cameras.

Another source from our website shared a image of a cell phone case, which clearly shows that the cameras will no longer be inside a box, but rather in a rectangle, which has opened the way to rumors about how many cameras the cell phone will have, because this opening is much larger, as it is Go in the picture. For a moment we think we already know how the back of the cell phone will be, but it turns out that more reports indicate that it will be round, and some images show it completely rectangular.Moto G7

A case for the Huawei Mate 30 reveals that its back is similar to that of the Mate 20, although a little longer.

Next, we make an account of the filtered features so far of the Huawei Mate 30, concept videos of the Huawei phone and what we expect from the device.

Expected features Huawei Mate 30 and Huawei Mate 30 Pro

Sites like GadgetsNow already compile some of the characteristics of the Huawei Mate 30 and Huawei mate 30 Pro, and although they are not confirmed, many of the rumors already take them for granted and several sources have agreed on many of them.

The different rumors agree that the Huawei Mate 30 will have a smaller screen of 6.5 inches, while the Huawei Mate 30 Pro will have a 6.71 inch. Of course, the resolution of both be different.

Design of the Huawei Mate 30 and Mate 30 Pro

The new Huawei phones will possibly have a very similar design. This is a trend that we have already seen in the previous models, although there is always a detail that varies from one to another. Last year with the Mate 20 Y Mate 20 Pro, not only did they differ in cameras, but also in the front part the design was slightly different, with the more expensive model slightly larger.

The same will happen this year, not only because the size will be different, but also because the Mate 30 Pro will have more pronounced curves than the smaller phone.

A circular camera? This option seems to gain credibility.

Of course, both will have in common the front camera as a hole in one side of the device, and some rumors indicate that the Huawei Mate 30 Pro will be double, something similar to that of the Galaxy S10 Plus.

This concept video of Huawei Mate 30 Pro from the Phone Industry site brings it quite close to the most popular rumors about phone design.

The latest leaks, however, keep the round rear camera like that of the Moto G7, and several Internet sites believe that these images leaked by case manufacturers, which technically have information about the device, do not seem to echo in reality. Although there seems to be consensus that the cameras will now be round and not rectangular. This is one of the first occasions when leaks do not take us in one direction, so it is quite interesting to follow the post until the launch in autumn.

The filtered cases show that the back of the cell phone will have a round area for the cameras.

Processor: Kirin 985 or 990?

Some rumors take Huawei for granted to launch a processor called Kirin 985, although previously the Huawei Mate 20 premiered the Kirin 980, and there was no Kirin 975. So why the confusion? Some specialized websites on chips ensure that the company will launch the Mate 30 and Mate 30 Pro in autumn with Kirin 985 processor, and that at Christmas the Huawei Mate 30 Pro 5G will arrive, with the Kirin 990 processor, which will be very similar, although with connectivity to the new communication networks.

Huawei Mate 30, Mate 30 Pro: The most anticipated news

Huawei Mate 30 and Mate 30 Pro camera

If something is important in this series of cell phones are the cameras. The Huawei Mate 30 and Mate 30 Pro are expected to have four cameras, although both will be different from each other, as happened with their predecessors.

The Ice Universe filter revealed that the cameras of the Huawei Mate 30 Pro will be 40 + 40 + 8 megapixels and that it will have a ToF or Flight Time sensor. One of the biggest changes with respect to the Huawei P30 Pro will be the wide-angle camera that goes from 20 to 40 megapixels, while the 8-megapixel sensor will be the telephoto.

Because the P30 Pro achieved a 5x optical zoom and a 50X digital zoom, the Mate 30 Pro is expected to have exactly the same characteristics. The Huawei Mate 30 on the other hand will have cameras of 24 + 16 + 8 + 5 megapixels, and will not get the TOF sensor for better definition of the depth in the photographs.

By the way, rumors say that Huawei registered a new recording technology for mobile phones, which could add news to the video format of the front camera of both phones. The name of these will be Cine-Lens and Camera Matrix.

The front cameras are rumored to be 24 and 32 megapixels respectively. So far no special feature has been leaked for the cameras, although we certainly expect some news from Huawei.

Expected Specifications

As usual, the Huawei Mate 30 Pro will be waterproof, and it is also expected to have a fast load of 55 watts, higher than 40 watts of the Mate 20 Pro. Rumors assume that it will have wireless charging, sensor 4,200mAh screen and battery tracks.

The Mate 30 Pro is expected to have a 128GB, 256GB and up to 512GB version, although this will vary depending on the market. To this we must add its RAM, which reports vary between 6GB and 8GB. By the way, some reports assure that the Mate 30 Pro will have a counting screen of 90Hz update, something that will make it ideal for video game lovers.

The Huawei Mate 30 may not get some features such as such a fast charge, so many storage versions and a lower RAM. Something that is known is that it will maintain the same number of rear cameras, fingerprint sensor on screen and possibly port for headphones. Both phones can expand the memory using the NM Card of Huawei.

Price and availability

Taking account of Huawei launches, and if the problems with the United States did not make him delay his plans, the Huawei Mate 30 and Mate 30 Pro will have a release date in October 2019.

The Huawei Mate 8 was launched in November 2015; Mate 9, in November 2016; Mate 10, in October 2017 and Mate 20, in October 2018. These releases usually occur in Europe.

As for the price of the Huawei Mate 30 and especially the Huawei Mate 30 Pro they are expected to maintain prices. The Mate 20 was launched at a price of 799 euros while the Mate 20 Pro cost 899 euros at its launch. To give you an idea, the Huawei Mate 10 Pro cost initially 799 euros, and the Mate 10, about 699 euros.

Upload another 100 euros this year Huawei to the price of this device? We do not know, but the base price could in that case be 899 euros (US $ 1,000) and 999 euros (US $ 1,100), respectively.
