Huawei has been teasing consumers since the announcement of the Mate 30 Pro in Munich in mid September. Whether smartphone enthusiasts will bite remains to be seen as the brand’s flagship phone of the year will not have Google Mobile Services. However, users will be able to download other apps from the phone’s Huawei Gallery.
The Mate 30 Pro will retail at the event for S$1,298, including accessories worth S$463; these consist of the DJI Osmo Mobile 3 Combo, a wireless car charger, a phone case and a power bank. The Mate 30 Pro will be available in two colours: Black and Space Silver.
The phone will also come with services, such as door-to-door repair pick-up and delivery for a year, two-year warranty, and a free screen replacement within the first three months of purchase.
