The main attraction of the event, the Huawei Mate 30 Pro, is expected to pack quad rear cameras housed in a large circular module and some notable camera upgrades. An alleged promotional image of the Mate 30 Pro suggests that it will be powered by the in-house Kirin 990 SoC, and so will the standard Huawei Mate 30 phone.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-25734\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pricecheck.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Huawei-Mate-30-Pro.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"940\" height=\"627\" srcset=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Huawei-Mate-30-Pro.jpg 940w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Huawei-Mate-30-Pro-300x200.jpg 300w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Huawei-Mate-30-Pro-768x512.jpg 768w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Huawei-Mate-30-Pro-104x69.jpg 104w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 940px) 100vw, 940px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>So, the camera?<\/h3>\n<p>Of course, Huawei&#8217;s camera capabilities has been a huge feature for the company (with the P30 Pro being notably impressive), and its Mate 30 Pro is set to push the boundaries once more. According to inside sources, the\u00a0Mate 30 Pro is set to feature Sony&#8217;s new IMX600 series sensors, with a 40-megapixel primary camera with a variable aperture of f\/1.6 \u2013 f\/1.4, a 1\/1.5-inch sensor, an RYYB pixel layout, and Cine Lens feature. If that&#8217;s a little too technical, it essentially means it&#8217;s going to be <em>really<\/em> good.<\/p>\n<p>The 40-megapixel secondary camera with a 1\/1.8-inch aperture and a 120-degree ultra-wide lens will also come with Cine Lens support. It will be assisted by an 8-megapixel telephoto sensor that will bring 5X zoom capabilities, while the fourth one is tipped to be a periscope lens.<\/p>\n<p>The standard Mate 30 and Mate 30 Lite will also feature the quad camera set-up, but will have a slightly downgraded sensor configuration.<\/p>\n<h3>Design<\/h3>\n<p>In terms of design, the Huawei Mate 30 Pro is said to feature a curved display, with a wide notch at the top of the display which will house the 3D face unlock sensors; while the standard Mate 30 will stick with a flat display.<\/p>\n<h3>Charging<\/h3>\n<p>Huawei is reportedly including the fastest wireless charging tech available into the Mate 30 series devices, with all three phones set to feature 25W wireless charging (20W wireless charging is currently available now on certain devices).<\/p>\n<h3>Release date<\/h3>\n<p>Some reports suggest that the devices will launch on 19 September alongside the official reveal, but it&#8217;s likely that the device will hit stores in October, which would be in line with previous flagship phone launches.<\/p>\n<p>In terms of price, the devices are expected to be in line with the RRP of previous Mate launches (around 19,000 for the Pro model). Pre-orders are set to go live shortly after the reveal on Thursday, 19 September.<\/p>\n<h4>Compare prices on the best<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pricecheck.co.za\/search?search=huawei&amp;category=124&amp;utm_source=blog.pricecheck.co.za&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=blog_Huawei_GT_Watch_2_Release_Date_Details_Rumours&amp;utm_content=Huawei_GT_Watch_2_Release_Date_Details_Rumours\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u00a0Huawei devices<\/a>\u00a0on PriceCheck!<\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pricecheck.co.za\/search?search=huawei&amp;category=124&amp;utm_source=blog.pricecheck.co.za&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=blog_Huawei_GT_Watch_2_Release_Date_Details_Rumours&amp;utm_content=Huawei_GT_Watch_2_Release_Date_Details_Rumours\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-21641 no-display appear\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pricecheck.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Buttons_ViewOffers.png\" sizes=\"(max-width: 325px) 100vw, 325px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pricecheck.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Buttons_ViewOffers.png 550w, https:\/\/www.pricecheck.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Buttons_ViewOffers-300x57.png 300w\" alt=\"view offers\" width=\"325\" height=\"62\" data-pagespeed-url-hash=\"3398397027\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Huawei is expected to unveil the next generation of its Mate devices; here&#8217;s what to expect!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":25733,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"amp_status":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[2866,2850],"tags":[378,430,5254,5255,1526,708,1458],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Huawei-Mate-30-header.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25731"}],"collection":[{"href":"\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=25731"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25731\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":25770,"href":"\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25731\/revisions\/25770"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/25733"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=25731"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=25731"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=25731"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
