Huawei Mate 30 Pro, Mate 30 official
Despite being a victim of the ongoing US-China trade war, Huawei has released its second flagship series of the year – Mate 30 Pro and Mate 30.
It’s worth noting that even though these phones run on the latest Android 10, it’s the open-source version, which means that Google Play services will not come pre-installed on these phones. However, Huawei Mobile Services take over from here and are claimed to provide all the required functionalities. Huawei has invested $1 billion in this project.
