Huawei Mate 30 Pro.

Huawei may be enduring a tough time due to the U.S-China trade war, but the Chinese giant isn't taking a back seat just because the U.S is pressuring it. Instead, it has gone ahead and added a new flagship smartphone to its world-famous Mate lineup. Yeah, the company has launched the much-anticipated Mate 30 Pro at its launch event in Munich.

And well, this smartphone is every bit a flagship, right from the design to the powerful internals. Mate 30 Pro comes backed by Huawei's flagship chipset, quad rear-cameras which could take on high-end DSLRs in terms of photography, a waterfall display, huge battery with super-fast charging, and much more. So, here's everything you'll need to know about Huawei Mate 30 Pro:

Mate 30 Pro: Specs and Features

• Design

Starting off with the design, like always, Huawei revealed that it has derived inspiration from cameras for the construction of the Mate 30 Pro. Yeah, Mate 30 Pro boasts a Halo Ring design, which refers to the circular camera ring on the rear panel, which looks like your camera lens. It's IP68 water and dust resistant, which we obviously expect from a flagship smartphone.

Mate 30 Pro features a waterfall screen on the front, same as the recently launched Vivo NEX 3 and you can read all about it down below. It includes a physical power button, which will have to be the power button on the right side. You can utilize the invisible virtual keys on both sides as the volume rocker, as well as a camera shutter button (that you can move around based on your comfort). And I have to say I love this feature, but we'll have to see how accidental touches are handled.

• Display

Mate 30 Pro features a 6.53-inch Flex OLED Horizon Display, as Huawei likes to calls its new waterfall screen. It's a beautiful panel that curves at an 88-degree angle, which is higher than the curvature of Samsung's Galaxy Note 10 lineup. The display here touts an 18.4:9 aspect ratio, 2400x1176 pixels resolution (just a tad higher than Full-HD+), along with support for HDR 10 and DCI-P3 wide color gamut.

Huawei further boasts that its new flagship doesn't feature any size bezels (compared to other flagship competitors) but there's a notch up-top. It may not look smaller than the Mate 20 Pro's notch, but it definitely is. There's a bottom bezel onboard as well, but it's really tiny.

Huawei on stage called the Mate 30 Pro's notch the "most sophisticated notch" on a smartphone, which I never thought I would hear in this lifetime. But, yeah we did and it does include 2 cameras, as the rumors had suggested. The notch, as you can see in the screenshot below, includes a 32MP selfie camera, 3D depth camera (used for Face ID), and a gesture sensor that allows hands-free control. The speaker unit sits under Mate 30 Pro's display similar to the P30 Pro launched earlier this year.

The gesture controls, as per the demo on stage, looked similar to what we expect to the Motion Sense feature that Pixel 4 lineup may come equipped with. You can flick before a Mate 30 Pro to scroll up/down and pinch to capture a screenshot, which is gimmicky but cool.

This smartphone offers two biometric unlocking options - 3D Face Unlock and in-display fingerprint sensor. All of this data is protected by the highest security standard, i.e. TEE with proprietary microkernel OS, which is great to hear from the Chinese giant.

• Internals

Powering the Mate 30 Pro is the newly launched Kirin 990 chipset that Huawei unveiled during its IFA 2019 presentation. This chipset is built using the 7nm EUV process node, featuring two Cortex-A76 (clocked at 2.86 GHz), two Cortex-A76 (clocked at 2.36 GHz), and four Cortex-A55 (clocked at 1.95GHz) architecture. It's an octa-core chipset that's coupled with a 16-core Mali G76 GPU, dual-NPUs, Balong 5000 5G modem, 8GB of RAM, and 256GB of internal storage.

• Cameras Specs

As we have already seen in the slew of leaks, Huawei Mate 30 Pro has a circular camera setup with a primary 40MP (f/1.8) Sony IMX600 RYYB sensor (Super Sensing wide camera) with OIS, a new 40MP ultra-wide-angle sensor (termed the Super Sensing Cine camera), an 8MP telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom and OIS, and a time-of-flight (TOF) sensor to round up the kitty. It even houses a Xenon flash and other sensors on the left of this circular module, which I quite like, to be honest.

The primary 40MP RYYB sensor captures 40% more light as compared to other sensors, thanks to the biggest 1/1.7-inch size - which is one of the biggest on a smartphone. It's also been revealed that it has 137% more light intake than the iPhone 11 Pro Max. This means you'll still be able to capture some stunning Night photos without switching to a dedicated camera mode.

Well, thanks to Huawei's SuperSensing technology being carried forward with the ultra-wide-angle lens, you will be able to capture crisp night shots with this sensor as well. It isn't an RYYB sensor like their primary sensor though. This is a 40MP RGGB sensor (with 3:2 aspect ratio to make it possible to capture sharp dual-1080p videos) and it's super-sensitive to light as well.

The host of cameras onboard can reach maximum ISO 409600 as compared to the 6400 industry standard and offer a 45x zooming range, which is lower than the P30 Pro, which provided 50x digital zoom. Mate 30 Pro supports 3x optical zoom, 5x hybrid zoom, and up to 30x digital zoom.

• Video Features

Thanks to the multitude of video features, Huawei is calling Mate 30 Pro the world's first smartphone with a dedicated 40MP Cine Camera. It sounds exciting and Mate 30 Pro now boasts the highest video light sensitivity on a smartphone, i.e ISO 51200, which is certainly remarkable. It supports up to 4K/60fps video recording, which is something we have seen on many flagship phones in the past but it's a first for Huawei.

Huawei boasts that its newest flagship has the highest frame rate on a smartphone, i.e. 7680 fps, making it possible for the Mate 30 Pro to shoot ultra slow-mo videos. Huawei showed off a demo video, where it captured a slow-mo video of a bursting balloon and compared it with a professional DSLR -- but it was captured at 1920 fps, so we are not confident whether the device supports 7680fps ultra slow-mo mode or not.

Apart from the amazing ultra slow-mo video mode, Mate 30 Pro also packs support for capturing real-time Cinematic bokeh video, 4K cinematic time-lapses (the demo video shown was fantastic), ultra-stable recording with Huawei AIS (thanks to OIS+EIS+AI), ultra low-light ultra-wide timelapse (sounds so much fun), and a lot more.

• EMUI 10

Huawei Mate 30 Pro is one of the first smartphones to run Android 10 out-of-the-box. It doesn't run a licensed version of Android though instead, it's an AOSP fork which comes pre-installed with the HMS core instead of GMS (Google Mobile Services) core. Well, we already this as Huawei itself had confirmed that Mate 30 Pro won't come with Google's apps and services onboard.

It features a new always-on display, where you can pick from a number of styles and the color of the text changes - based on the time of the day. One of the most significant additions to EMUI 10 has to be the dark mode (what can I say? I'm a dark mode fiend), which is coupled with a Dark Mode Engine that will allow you to force dark mode in apps that don't support the darker theme.

The Mate 30 Pro also supports multi-screen collaboration with Huawei laptops and brings along a much-needed feature called AI Auto-rotate, which Huawei says will follow where you're looking and rotate the screen accordingly or not when you go from sitting on the couch to laying down. It solves one of the biggest nuisances which we encounter on the daily.

• Battery

Talking about the battery, Mate 30 Pro comes equipped with a massive 4,500mAh battery pack but the smartphone shouldn't feel bulky as it weighs just 198 grams. The company has comfortability and use in mind while building the device, along with much superior battery life. Huawei claims that its flagship could last up to 8.2 hours on heavy usage, which is great.

Even if the Mate 30 Pro dies on you while gaming, you have got a super-fast wired and wireless charging technology onboard. It supports 40W wired SuperCharge and 27W wireless fast-charging support, which is just outstanding. Huawei has baked inside a "Graphene Film Cooling Technology" to keep the temperature in check, keeping the device up to 3.9-degrees cooler as compared to other flagships.

• Connectivity

In terms of connectivity, Mate 30 Pro boasts that it has the "most advanced antenna" design and houses 21 antennas in total. Out of these, 14 antennas will be employed for enhanced 5G connectivity. It also supports the most number of 5G bands to provide the most reliable connectivity around the globe, with seamless dual-SIM 5G-enabled calling experience. It includes the same dual nano-SIM tray that we saw on Huawei's P30 Pro.

• Mate 30 RS Porsche Design

Just like the previous year, Huawei also unveiled a new Porsche Design flagship at its Munich event. Mate 30 RS Porsche Design features premium hand-crafted leather on the rear, which encases the glass panel at the center (inspired by race car tracks), housing a quad-camera setup we just saw on the Mate 30 Pro.

The Mate 30 RS Porsche Design is a premium incarnation of the flagship Mate 30 Pro, so we don't really need to talk about the specifications. You get the same internals as your Mate 30 Pro flagship, including the powerful chipset, quad-camera, and all the goodness we've already talked about.

The beautiful Mate 30 RS Porsche Design will come in two colors, Red and Black, with an exorbitant 2,095 euros (around Rs. 1,65,250) price tag.

Mate 30 Pro: Price and Availability

Huawei Mate 30 Pro has been priced starting at 1,099 euros (around Rs 86,500) for the 8GB+256GB base variant without 5G connectivity. You will have to shell out 1,199 euros (around Rs 94,500) for the 5G-enabled variant, which is quite similar to the Galaxy Note 10+ 5G variant.

It comes in four new shiny color variants namely Space Silver, Cosmic Purple, Emerald Green (this variant has a dual-tone finish with a matte finish at the bottom that blends seamlessly into the glossy upper half), and Black. Huawei introduced 2 'Vegan Leather Edition' Mate 30 Pro variants as well and they come in Orange and Forest Green colors.

Huawei has already confirmed that Kirin 990-powered smartphones would soon land in India, so there's a possibility that Mate 30 Pro, without any Google apps or services, is going to land in India in the next couple of months. Would you be interested in buying Huawei's latest flagship? or would you skip it for, let's say, OnePlus 7T? Do share your opinions with us in the comments below.

iPhone 11 fast chargers that you can buy right now

Of the three iPhones released this year, iPhone 11 is probably the best option for most users. It brings almost the same feature-set while keeping the price $300 cheaper than the iPhone 11 Pros. As far as value for money goes, the best iPhone you can buy right now is the iPhone 11. If there's one thing that irks me about the new iPhone 11, it is the inclusion of the 5W slow charger. While the iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max bring the faster 18W USB-C charger, the iPhone 11 still comes with the older slow charging brick. And I hate it. That brings us to this article. Here, I have mentioned the 10 best fast chargers for iPhone 11 that you can use to quickly charge your iPhone.

Best Fast Chargers for iPhone 11 in 2019

The fast chargers I have mentioned below include both wired and wireless options. I have also included a few fast car chargers for iPhone 11 for times you need to charge your iPhone on-the-go. So, depending on your needs, you can choose the charger you want. With that said, let's get to our list, shall we?

1. Apple USB-C 18W Power Adapter

If you are someone who doesn't trust third-party accessories, then you should buy the 18W USB-C power adapter that Apple is shipping with the new iPhone 11 Pros. The best part about this charger is that it is quite small. While it won't be as easy to carry as the smaller 5W adapter that comes in the box, it is smaller than all the other chargers on this list. With this 18W power adapter, you can easily charge your iPhone 11 from 0 to 100% within one and a half hours. However, do note that this power adapter uses USB-C port so you will have to invest in a USB-C to lightning cable if you already don't have it. Again if you want Apple made cables, you can get it for $18.99. However, I prefer the Aukey ($15.99) one as it is far more durable than the original Apple cable.

Buy from Apple: $23.00

2. AUKEY Quick Charge 3.0 USB Wall Charger

If you don't want to invest in an extra cable and then you should check out the AUKEY Quick Charge 3.0 wall charger. It is a powerful dual-port wall charger that will allow you to charge two devices simultaneously. The charger supports Quick Charge 3.0 technology. It can deliver up to 2.4A current thereby making it at least 4 times faster than the 5W charger that comes in the box. I also love the stealthy black color design of the charger along with its compact design which makes it easier to carry. Finally, it's also cheaper than the official 18W power adapter featured above.

Buy from Amazon: $19.99

3. Anker Quick Charge 3.0 39W Dual USB Wall Charger

Probably my favorite charger on this list is the Anker Quick Charge 3.0 39W Dual USB Wall Charger. The charger looks sleek in its matte black color and is the best-looking charger on this list. Just like the AUKEY charger mentioned above, the Anker wall adapter brings dual USB-A ports that support Quick Charge 3.0 technology. It supports 39W power delivery that means it will be faster than the official 18W charger. The charger also brings Anker's proprietary Voltage-Boost technology that allows it to deliver optimum power based on the type of plugged-in device. Anker has also tweaked the charger for Apple devices so that you don't face any problems. Overall, it's one of the best iPhone 11 fast chargers that you can buy right now.

Buy from Amazon: $25.99

4. USINFLY 2-Pack 30W Charger

If you are looking for something a bit cheaper then you should check out the USINFL 30W power adapter for iPhone 11. The charger brings the same Quick Charge 3.0 technology which makes it more than 4 times faster than the 5W charger that Apple ships in the box. It brings three USB-A ports allowing you to charge three devices simultaneously. It's also small and compact. However, what I love the most is that it comes in a pack of two. That allows me to keep one adapter in my bag all the time so I don't forget to carry one when I am traveling. You should check it out.

Buy from Amazon: $16.99

5. iClever 24W Power Adapter

If you are not looking for a two-pack charger and want something cheaper then you should check out the iClever 24W power adapter for iPhone 11. It packs dual USB-A ports with its SmartID Technology, allowing you to charge two devices simultaneously without any problem. SmartID Technology varies the power delivery depending on the plugged-in devices which is good for battery health. I also love that it brings the foldable plug design which makes it very easy to carry. It supports wide voltage range from 100V to 240V allowing you to take it even on international travels. Considering its price, it's probably the best value for money fast charger for iPhone 11 that you can buy right now.

Buy from Amazon: $10.98

6. Anker Elite USB Charger

The last wired fast charger on this list comes from Anker which is one of the best iPhone accessory makers in the business. We have already featured an Anker charger above, however, it commands a high price. If you are looking for a budget option then Anker Elite USB Charger is the one you should go with. Just like its costlier counterpart, the Anker Elite USB Charger brings dual-USB A ports. It also brings the same Voltage-Boost technology to deliver optimum charging current to your devices. While it doesn't feature the Quick Charge 3.0 technology, it will still charge your iPhone 11 at least twice as fast as the native 5W charger. I also love that it brings the foldable-prongs design which makes it great for travel.

Buy from Amazon: $13.99

7. Mophie Fast Wireless Charger

If you are in the market for fast wireless chargers, then you should check out the Mophie wireless charger. While it doesn't bring the best value for money, it is promoted by Apple on its official stores which should give you peace of mind as far as quality is concerned. And though it commands a premium price, there's no denying the fact that it features a premium design which both looks sleek and is functional. The wireless charger supports up to 7.5W fast wireless charging. That means, even though you will be charging your iPhone 11 wirelessly, it will still be faster than the in-box charger that Apple provides.

Buy from Amazon: $34.98

8. Yootech Qi-Certified 10W Fast Wireless Charger

If you are looking for something cheaper then you should check out the Yootech Qi-certified fast wireless charger for iPhone 11. Not only this wireless charger is cheaper but it's also faster than the Mophie charger. And even when you take into account the lesser efficiency of a wireless charger, it should be almost twice as fast as the 5W charger that comes in the box. Despite being cheap, the Yootech charger brings the Intelligent Protect Technology that provides temperature control, surge protection, short-circuit prevention, and more. That means your iPhone 11 will always be safe. As far as the fast wireless chargers for iPhone 11 go, this is one of the best on the market right now.

Buy from Amazon: $13.99

9. Anker Quick Charge 3.0 39W Dual USB Car Charger

For someone who drives a lot, a car charger is a must-have accessory, especially if you use your phone for navigation. Using navigation and maps on the phone while driving eats away the phone battery faster than your car guzzles the fuel. That's why I always carry a fast car charger with me so I never have to worry about my phone's battery life. The Anker charger we are featuring here is the same as the wall charger. The only difference is that it's meant for cars. That means you are getting the same four times faster Quick Charge 3.0 technology with dual-USB ports for charging two devices simultaneously. The charger also looks cool with its black carbon fiber design. If you drive a lot, this is the best fast car charger you can buy for iPhone 11.

Buy from Amazon: $25.99

10. Ailun 35W Car Charger

If you are looking for a cheap car charger, you should check out the Ailun 35W car charger. Despite its cheap price, the car charger brings dual USB-A charging ports both of which support fast charging. The 35W fast charger can charge your iPhone 11 at least four times faster than the 5W charger that comes in the box. It supports the Quick Charge 3.0 technology which is great for a car charger which comes at such a low price. The charger also has multiple built-in voltage regulators fully protecting your iPhone 11 against over-current, over-charging, and over-heating for safe and rapid charging. If you are looking for a cheap and fast car charger for iPhone 11, this is the one to get.

Buy from Amazon: $8.99

Best iPhone 11 Car Chargers You Can Buy

We have included wired fast chargers, wireless fast chargers, and fast car chargers to help you get the best charger for your needs.
