Huawei teases "powerful" feature for the P30 series

Back in December, tipster Evan Blass leaked information about the triple rear camera setup for the upcoming Huawei P30. Citing someone who had seen the device in person, Blass' source says that the maximum resolution will be 40MP, and the device will offer a 5X lossless zoom. Just the other day, Huawei disseminated a tweet that includes a teaser for its March 26th new product event, that is focused on the P30's zoom capabilities. Lossless zoom means that zooming in on a subject will result in only a small drop off in the quality of an image.
There is a good possibility that this will be the next bit of smartphone innovation to make the round from manufacturer to manufacturer. Last month, Oppo unveiled its 10X lossless zoom feature, which will be demonstrated at Mobile World Congress (MWC) tomorrow.
Thanks to a huge leak that took place last month, we expect to see the Huawei P30 feature a 6.1-inch AMOLED display, powered by the home-grown Kirin 980 SoC. 8GB of RAM will be offered on this model. The Huawei P30 Pro should be equipped with a 6.5-inch AMOLED screen, and will also employ the Kirin 980 chipset. 12GB of RAM is expected on the premium unit, and both models will have Android 9 Pie pre-installed along with Huawei's EMUI 9.1 interface.
Don't expect to find the Huawei P30 on your wireless carrier's shelves
If you live in the states, don't expect to see the new Huawei P30 series on your carrier's shelves. The current environment in the United States has not been what we would call "welcoming" for Huawei. Still seen as a pariah in the U.S., the company was recently indicted on a number of charges by the Justice Department. The U.S. says the company tried to defraud banks in an effort to cover-up the business it was doing with Iran. The latter country has economic sanctions imposed against it by the U.S. Huawei also is being criminally charged for stealing technology from T-Mobile related to a phone testing robot called "Tappy." The carrier already won $4.8 million in a civil suit against Huawei over the same event.
In January 2018, both Verizon and AT&T planned on offering the Huawei Mate 10 Pro, which was the company's top-of-the-line handset at the time. But the U.S. government, which considers the firm to be a national security threat, reportedly put the kibosh on those arrangements. The fear is that Huawei products, both phones and networking equipment, capture personal and confidential information from consumers and corporations and send it to the Chinese government. Huawei has denied that is spies for any government a number of times.
Regardless, the bottom line is that U.S. consumers have not seen any of Huawei's heralded devices available from their wireless providers, and that will no doubt be the case for some time to come.
