Have the rumours about the Mate 30 Pro got you clamouring for its launch event on September 19? Beauty may be in the eye of the beholder, but recent renders published by OnLeaks and Pricebaba paint the Mate 30 Pro as one of the uglier flagships of 2019. Some of its rumoured features look more gimmicky than innovative too.

This might be the worst article I've ever read. Y'all need to get some better writers.
Glad I'm not the only one. Totally biased and subjective article. I hope there's a grading for article as well so we can rule the terrible writers out.
Likely written by Trump or the US propaganda against China. Welcome to the new way of creating a negative image. After you have read the article you'll eventually get this in your mind even if you don't believe it
This article is garbage, this phone looks amazing and a step above apple and samsung
Shame on you for writing this article. Telling ugly to something that's already super unique and beautiful is lack of your imagination.
Glad that still a lot of people have brain and they can tell that this design is far better than the new Samsung, Iphone, Pixel 4.
You should be fired
To me the apple iPhone 11 is the ugliest
Shitty a** looking triple camera tryna copy mate 20 pro?
Not to mention the slowass charging, poor signal, and some of the shortest battery lives among any flagship phones. Is that inconvenient enough?
Alex,
I really think you should find another job that would match your skills, intellect and ignorance! The Mate 30 is one of the best phone out there running android without google play., the design. The technology and the new os makes it extremely interesting and might give us the option away from google so badly needed.
Anyway, given your pro american view of things and your total ignorance in technology why don t you try your hand on golf or nascar reporting.... there is not too much to screw up there...
The most bias & crappiest article I've read this year.
This is the worst tech article I have ever read. Bullshit!
*edit: deleted - hateful speech* Mate 30 pro design is awesome.
Alex, You could have waited till you saw the real McCoy before you stuck yourself out there on a limb.
Good luck to you, mate.
Disheartening that the comments below reflect what appears to be a coordinated (and, let's be honest, laughably obvious) Chinese campaign - whether state-sponsored or entirely spontaneous - attempting to discredit the author for... his nationality and appearance? Guys, these are not persuasive points. Remember that, outside China at least, it is perfectly legal to be of the opinion that this phone's apparent design is quite strange and unappealing. If the leaks are inaccurate, that would of course be a separate issue.
Huawei bankruptcy has no benefit to consumers
Love the Chinese Army in the comment section. Say whatever you want, but the ugly notch and the hugely impractical curved side remains.
Remember when people complainer about the OnePlus 7 Pro curve and an army flocked to defend it? Yea me neither.
Wow Huawei's playing to their strong suit again, paying for an army of shills to mislead the public, I've never seen so many comments under a short opinion piece on NBC.
Mate30P's ugly but IMO the bulk of the ugliness was already present in P30P. They flattened the mid frame in a very wrong way that looks like a last minute ad lib design change, this significant ugly detail is shared between the two models, while in comparison Samsung's Note10 has the mid frame flattened through a refined and holistic approach that simply looks sophisticated, in other words the concept has slight similarities but the execution is worlds apart.
I also agree on the volume control, if it's touch then it's gonna be a gimmick. How does this allow for a protective case? Cutting a hole would look ridiculous. It would also be prone to accidental touch.
If it's pressure based that would be another issue.
So people attacking the author for an opinion is rude. I disagree, but he has the ability to have his opinion. Also agree it seems that some of the comments are coming from biased Chinese commenters.
However, I do like the design of the phone and plan on buying it when I visit China in October. I believe my mate 20 Pro is the best phone of 2018, and this year I have the new Galaxy Note 10+ and still think this phone will be better.
As far as no Google services, that's not a huge deal. Every year I get my phone in China and when I come back to the US, I sideload Google Play and then get all of their apps. Takes 15 minutes at the most.
The most important thing is Huawei cameras are usually best and that's what I care most about in a phone.
Talk about Huawei being ugly, look at Apple's newedt refresh's leaks.
I think that the author is wrongheaded, but he is entitled to his own opinion. If you don't like it, then just move on or make a substantive counter-argument. Simple as that.
Attacking his nationality or alleged motivations is just desperation.
I disagree with the authors harsh criticism and while the design language may not appeal to every consumer its certainly not as hideous as he claims. I upgraded to a mate 20 pro from an iPhone and I couldn't be more happy. I love huwawei so much I'm switching to the matebook Pro from myacbook Pro. Apple is no longer an industry leader but a cult of personality that insults the intelligence of its fanbase yearly.
This article is just speculative but if it is the real deal I think the Mate 30 Pro looks great.
but one of best hiawei flagships, fast, solid, biiiig
*edit: deleted - hateful speech*
Dumbasses can't tell it's an opinion piece. Dumbasses also use Trump as a facsimile for the US when over half the people there want to throw him into the ocean.
As a former mate 20x and p30 pro owner, here are some things I know this phone will screw up.
1. The oled will be a low quality BOE panel. Highly inaccurate colors and greyscale. A return to the galaxy s4 days. There's a reason why they never send it to third party display calibration sites for testing. It's not a good panel.
2. The curve on the screen will be overbearing like the mate 20 pro and p30 pro, heavily distorting the image. Chasing after samsung without learning from them. Samsung has significantly toned down their curves in the past few years because they realized it was stupid.
3. The new kirin processor will post nice big benchmark scores but the user experience will be slow and laggy due to the messy Android skin known as EMUI.
4. The cameras will be overblown, low resolution, cartoonified BS. It can take "images" in pitch black. Calling them photos would be an insult to even potato cams on flip phones
5.The video quality will be several steps behind competitors because the kirin processor will lack the power and bandwidth to process them from the full sensor width, especially with their crude electronic stabilization. And low light video is gonna look like a jittery mess because you can't turn off that crude stabilization.
6. Battery life is gonna be amazing because it heavily throttles the processor and kills background apps constantly.
7.it's gonna cost as much as an overpriced iPhone, if not more. Probably includes a pair of freebuds, their airpod copycat that looks just as ugly.
8. Ugly ugly notch. No headphone jack. But an IR blaster remains!
9. Proprietary expansion card no one asked for.
Most biased article of 2019! >:(
Performance is what matters, they are yet to unveil their next gen beast which makes other brands green with envy every time. You may be unhappy with something, but they will do that again this year too. Not even google can stop that.

Performance is what matters? Funny cause that's the opposite of the tone of the Huawei fanboys in the past (well, just look at the messes that are Kirin 970 and 960 and how they lied about the meager improvements GPU Turbo yields).
OTOH Kirin 990's performance is rather underwhelming for what's supposed to be next generation. It barely catches up with SD855+ with heavy marketing emphasis on the gimmicky SA 5G support (which you won't see until the 990 is two years obsolete) and...further progress towards a fabricated "AI" arms race.
Really? I think you may find that wiring and phones needs to be more than opinion - and a paycheck.
