The first thing that captures your attention is how beautiful the P30 Pro looks. It's built to turn heads, the unique back is stunning. We had the white gradient version, which Huawei claims is meant to represent the sun reflecting off salt flats. We don't know if this gradient is an accurate representation of a salt flat but it does look good. It certainly looks like an expensive phone. The materials used are mostly glass and metal, and this in turn gives the phone a nice tactile feel. It is a fingerprint magnet though. The P30 has also managed to do away with the top speaker grill and instead vibrates the screen to create sound. Though it sounds like a bad idea, the execution on the P30 is well done, and the sound was clear and in combination with the bottom speaker grill, was very loud. The curved OLED screen on the device looks elegant and reproduces colours vividly. The in-screen fingerprint scanner, though improved over the Mate 20 Pro, is still a little cumbersome to use.
