Huawei promises to 'give you the moon' with new P30 Pro and P30
Huawei's P30 premium version, also uses electromagnetism to vibrate the screen to create a speaker
PARIS (Reuters) - Huawei, the world s third-largest smartphone maker, presented its new flagship phone in Paris on Tuesday (March 26) with the hope to make further gains in Europe, a region where its other products could face in-depth scrutiny for security reasons.
With four rear cameras, including a so-called "time of flight" camera that helps its artificial intelligence create better exposures, Huawei s P30 Pro will aim to take on Samsung Electronics Galaxy S10 and Apple s iPhone X.
The phone has a new light sensor that detects yellow rather than green, a development it said significantly boosts light absorption to create better results, even in near darkness.
The P30 Pro, Huawei s P30 premium version, also uses electromagnetism to vibrate the screen to create a speaker when the device is held up to the face, minimising sound leakage when taking a telephone call, Huawei said.
Nature-inspired colours such as Amber Sunrise and Breathing Crystal are also set to appeal to women.
The P30 Pro starting price is 999 euros for 8GB RAM and 128 GB storage, and the P30 is 799 euros for 6GB RAM and 128 GB storage .
The unveiling of Huawei s smartphone at the Paris exhibition centre coincides with the visit of Chinese President Xi Jinping in the French capital, where President Emmanuel Macron held a meeting along with German Chancellor Angela Merkel and European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker to discuss climate and trade.
Huawei, which also makes telecoms network equipment, has been under much international scrutiny following U.S. allegations that the Chinese giant s products could be used by Beijing for spying.
The firm has strongly rejected the allegations and earlier this month sued the U.S. government over the issue.
