Huawei P30 PRO winner EISA Phone of the year

Huawei has today received an award from the European Image and Sound Association (EISA), a group that comprises 55 of the world’s most respected consumer electronics magazines. The P30 Pro was named “EISA Best Smartphone 2019-2020” by the Association. This is the second year in a row Huawei has won this category.

In the past years, EISA has named:

HUAWEI P20 “EISA Best Smart Phone of the Year 2018”,
HUAWEI P10 “EISA Smartphone Camera 2017-2018,”
HUAWEI Watch 2 “EISA Wearable Device 2017-2018” and
HUAWEI P9 “European Consumer Smartphone 2016-2017.”

The official EISA citation for naming the P30 Pro best phone of the year reads:

“With its quad-camera setup Huawei has made yet another impressive advance in mobile photography. Low-light photos are by far the best you can currently get from a smartphone, while the ultra-wide lens, the portrait mode and the periscopic 5x telephoto lens surpass any of its competitors. The P30 Pro also impresses with its stunning water-resistant construction, excellent screen, fast under-display fingerprint reader and great battery life that’s supported by both wired and wireless charging. With raw format recording and up to 512GB storage, the Huawei P30 Pro is the perfect companion for dedicated photographers.”

In an official release from Huawei, Li Changzhu, Vice President of the Handset Business, Huawei Consumer Business Group says, “We are honored to receive another award from EISA and pleased with the recognition of the P30 Pro. With every device, Huawei is committed to bringing new and improved smartphone photography experience to consumers, pushing the limit of smartphone camera capabilities with the latest technologies.”

The P series is always sort of focused on photography, and from launch Huawei has been pushing the boundaries of what smartphone lenses should be able to do. Especially with the new 4 camera setup at the back of the P30 Pro. – Article from April 1st.
