I suspect the camera glass was kept thin to avoid chromatic aberration, and people are grabbing the phones by the lens cover from pockets that are tight! The breaks I've seen have all been over a camera where pressure would make it vulnerable. As a keen photographer, I avoid touching the lens...

Various P30 shots.

Stopped me buying it. I waited, and now have a P30 which is fantastic, apart from all the political nonsense.

I'm on a two year contract for my P30. Best phone I've ever had, and as a keen photographer, it's the first phone I've had that can take good photos once you learn its limitations. Trump changes his mind on a whim regularly, and has suggested deals could be done, implying the ban is largely...

I see well close up, and find the pixels on the Pro a problem, one of the reasons I went for the P30, which is fine at 1080 at the smaller size. It will depend on your close up vision, so you need to compare both. The Pro should have been 1440 width. So far, my P30 is pretty much perfect apart...

Not to me. I'm careful with my phones, so shower-proof is fine. I'm not fussed about wireless charging, and avoid fast-charging to prolong battery life. The sound is fine, and proper earpiece probably better. Battery life is amazing, though you need to stop EMUI killing backup apps or they don't...

I hoped the P30 Pro would have a 2K flat screen, but the P30 was much better than I was expecting, and I'm very pleased with mine. 1080 width on the smaller size is pretty good on type, and I'm very fussy about that, being short-sighted, I can see clearly close up. Not quite as good as my old...

I checked and got the 9.1.0.124 update on my P30 yesterday (19-4) CPW unlocked UK. Makes the AOD useful, particularly with no LED.

Attached a scrolled screenshot of the latest P30 update from the phone in your app, and it reduced it to an unreadable size. I then tried inserting various sized versions from Firefox on my W10 64-bit PC, and it came up with errors in the Flash dialogue box. Gave up and used Chrome. It would be...

Just checked on my CPW unlocked UK P30. Update available. Great to have third party apps shown on the AOD, makes up for the loss of the LED. Sorry about the unreadable dump attached. Nightmare trying to add a larger one in Firefox, gave up and done in Chrome! If anyone can delete the...

I think a software fix will tweak it, so holding off for now. My P30 turned on the dim FPS indicator randomly initially on the odd occasion while just sitting unattended, but seems to have stopped now. Mine still has the screen protector on, and I wonder if that bedding in gives false touches...

I'm very happy with my P30, and don't like curved screens. 1080 width is fine on the P30, but the Pro looked a little rougher on type to me (short-sighted). The cameras still are pretty good on the P30, and not missing much other than OIS on the main camera for me. The P30 comes with a screen...

For me, yes, but it's more the OLED fizz. Without glasses, I focus about 11" away, and have got used to my HTC 10, which is 1440 width on a 5.2" QHD SLCD screen that is dead sharp (564ppi). I generally dislike type on OLED screens, as the edges often have a slight rainbow effect. The P30 being...

I've ordered the P30 having had a good play with that and the Pro last Friday. I hate curved screens, and being short-sighted, the 1080 width on the Pro isn't high-res enough for me on type. The P30 is just about OK. Good point about the side swipes on the curved edges though, probably no good...

Mine had the battery and screen replaced on warranty by CPW a year ago just before the contract was up. Still as good as new. I've made a point of avoiding fast charging, as I think that kills batteries on this phone. Mine still does 2 days of light use. I've been eyeing up a P20 Pro, but the...
