And so the rumours and leaks have begun!
Huawei Mate 30 Pro to come with a 90Hz display as renders surface

Early specs of the Huawei Mate 30 Pro surfaced last month including the 6.71-inch AMOLED display. And, according to the information coming out of China, this screen will have a refresh rate of 90Hz - like the OnePlus 7 Pro.

Meanwhile alleged renders of the Mate 30 Pro surface, revealing a phone with a curved edges of its display and with a punch hole in the upper-left corner to accommodate two cameras.

At the back, the smartphone will have a quad camera setup placed in the center with an LED flash in 'V' formation. This camera system is said to offer 5x optical zoom and 50x digital zoom.

The renders also reveal that the Mate 30 Pro will come in at least three colors - Blue, Red, and Black. However, we cannot verify the accuracy of these images, so don't consider them certain.

The Huawei Mate 30 Pro is rumored to have Kirin 985 SoC at the helm, paired with Balong 5000 5G modem. Other rumored specs include an in-display fingerprint scanner and a 4,200 mAh battery with 55W fast wired charging support.

Huawei is likely to unveil the Mate 30 Pro in October, but we don't have to wait until then to know more about it as more information is likely to follow in the meantime.

With so much instability in their supply chain and basic questions like, what OS will it come with, I really don't see how any of these leaks can have any substance to them.

That said, I REALLY, wish they would release the non pro, flat screen versions in ZA of their MATE series.
 
The Mate series have always been my favourite Huawei range. Looking forward to this one. If it's going to be even slightly better than the P30 Pro it's sure to be a beast.

... And if they release a Mate 30 X (with 7.2-inch display) I'll probably go for that, provided it has Dual SIM. Love big phones.
 
I wish they would release the non pro versions! Flat and bigger screens, much better

Leaked Huawei Mate 30 Pro promo image shows a quad camera on the back

Renders from case makers showed three cameras and an LED flash in the circular island, but this image shows a fourth camera instead.

That circular look seems to be the new standard. The upcoming oneplus 7T looks similar

Huawei Mate 30 can’t launch with official Google apps, says Google

A massive blow to Huawei’s next major flagship
www.theverge.com www.theverge.com


Huawei may face a major roadblock for its next flagship phone, the Mate 30 — it won’t be able to launch with Google apps and services due to the White House banning US companies (like Google) from doing business with the Chinese telecommunications firm, according to a report from Reuters.
That means that the Mate 30 — and presumably, other upcoming devices like the now-delayed foldable Mate X — could be severely limited at launch. They’ll still run Android, which is at its core open-source software that’s freely available. But Google has confirmed to The Verge that the Mate 30 and Mate 30 Pro (rumored to launch on September 18th) won’t be able to ship with Google’s apps and services on board, which could put them at a severe disadvantage given how important Google’s apps are.
The Mate 30 will be cut off from the Play Store entirely
Huawei was granted a three-month extension from the United States Commerce Department back in May to allow it to take action “necessary to provide service and support, including software updates or patches, to existing Huawei handsets that were available to the public on or before May 16, 2019.” A second 90-day extension was just granted to the company last week and is set to end on November 19th, but that only applies to previously released phones. The Mate 30 (and any other variants of it that Huawei plans to release) doesn’t fit that bill and therefore won’t be included under that exemption.
Google apps and services — including, crucially, the Google Play Store — are considered a key part of Android as an operating system, so much so that the European Union fined Google a record $5 billion last year for using Play Store access as leverage to force Android phone manufacturers to default to Google search on their hardware. The only real success story for Android without Google services is Amazon’s inexpensive Fire tablets, and those aren’t exactly in the same ballpark as the Mate 30, which is a flagship device meant to compete with devices like the Galaxy Note 10 Plus, Pixel 4, and OnePlus 7 Pro.
Chinese phone companies have had to work without the Play Store for years (since Google doesn’t offer services within the country), but its a much more chaotic marketplace, with hundreds of app stores all competing and different apps available depending on the store.
Huawei has been working on its own Play Store alternative since 2018 as a contingency for this exact sort of situation, but the US’s ban means that it’ll still have an uphill battle ahead, since companies like Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, or any other US-based company won’t be able to offer apps for that store, even if they wanted to.

This is a deal breaker!
