The Huawei P30 Pro packs the same Kirin 980 processor that we first encountered in the Huawei Mate 20 Pro and then saw in the relatively affordable Honor View 20 (Review). Both these phones have posted impressive test scores so we know that our overall usage experience should be good. The Kirin 980 is built on a 7nm manufacturing process and features two high-powered ARM 2.6GHz Cortex-A76 cores, two more Cortex-A76 cores running at 1.92GHz, and four Cortex-A55 cores for power efficiency. It also has an ARM Mali-G76 GPU, integrated LTE modem, and two “neural processing units” or AI accelerator blocks.
Huawei has launched the P30 Pro in India with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. Internationally, there are also variants with 128GB and 512GB of storage, and it's strange that the company has chosen not to offer options here, especially the most affordable one. Huawei announced a new file system called EROFS (Extended Read-Only File System) last year and the P30 Pro uses it for a claimed 20 percent better read speeds and more efficient usage of storage space.
There's a 4200mAh battery, and the Huawei P30 Pro supports charging at up to 40W using the included charger and cable. Wireless fast charging is supported at up to 15W. You can also reverse-charge Qi-compatible devices such as wireless headphones, but this will be much slower
