translated from Spanish: Huawei unveiled the Mate 30: its first smartphone without Google apps

Huawei Mate 30 inaugurates a new commercial strategy without Android as an operating system installed as standard, but with a commitment to offer consumers the latest technology and innovation so that they have the closest possible experience to what was offered Until now.
Huawei’s current trade war with the United States does not stop the company, and that’s what Richard Yu, CEO of the Consumer Business, wanted to make clear during the launch of the new Mate30 series, on Thursday in Munich, Germany.
The situation facing Huawei is not really new. In China, Google services are not allowed, so they offer their users what they call Huawei Mobile Services (HMS), rather than Google Mobile Services (GMS), more own in markets such as the European one.
With Mate 30 series, Huawei launches out of the Chinese market a new strategy in which it will offer USERS HMS, which includes Android Open Source Project (AOSP), with EMUI 10 and App Gallery, as reported by the manager.
This means that Mate30 ‘smartphones’, as soon as they go to market, won’t have Google Play Store pre-installed, but users will be able to access a catalog of more than 11,000 apps and make use of other ‘apps’ stores to have the most of the experience similar as possible to what has been so far.
However, while GMS will not be installed as standard, Mate30 ‘smartphones’ will still be supported and HSM also offers a set of cloud services, GPS positioning and payments. It also does not include the Android operating system, but EMUI 10, other than Harmony OS, the operating system for the company’s IoT environment.
In this context, it is possible to make a nuance, and that is that even if Mate 30 does not have Android, the company’s ‘smartphones’ available in the market prior to this new release will continue to have the support of Google as before.
Mate 30 Series

The new mate 30 series of ‘smartphones’ consists of two devices: Mate 30 and Mate 30 Pro, which offer different features focused on the audience it is targeting for terminal. With it debuts in the market the Kirin 990 processor, presented during the IFA of Berlin, which integrates 5G processing and modem on a single chip.
This processor employs Da Vinci’s own architecture for the neural processing unit, and with a FinFET process of 7 nanometers (7nm+) with ultraviolet lithography (EUV) technology, and features a 16-core GPU. It supports 2G/3G/4G and 5G networks (NSA and SA networks) and has 23 percent more performance than the previous generation.
Kirin 990 5G has allowed to introduce new features in videography and photography. In this sense, Mate 30 has a triple camera system, composed of a SuperSensing sensor of 40 megapixels, an ultra wide angle of 16 megapixels and a telephoto lens of 8 megapixels, which is complemented by image processing signal ISP 5.0.
Meanwhile, the Pro model integrates a system of four cameras: Cine Camera 40 megapixels (17mm, f/2.2), SuperSensing camera of 40 megapixels (27mm, f/1.8), telephoto lens of 8 megapixels (optical zoom x3 and hybrid x5 and up to x30 in digital zoom, 80mm and f/2.4) and a telephoto lens of 8 megapixels (optical zoom x3 and hybrid x5 and up to x30 in digital zoom, 80mm and f/2.4) and a telephoto lens of 8 megapixels (optical zoom x3 and hybrid x5 and up to x30 in digital zoom, 80mm and f/2.4) and a telephoto lens of 8 megapixels (optical zoom x3 and hybrid x5 and up to x30 in digital zoom, 80mm and f/2.4) and a telephoto lens of 8 megapixels (optical zoom x3 and hybrid x5 and up to x30 in digital zoom, 80mm and f/2.4) and a telephoto lens of 8 megapixels (optical zoom x3 and hybrid x5 and up to x30 in digital zoom, 80mm and f/2.4) and a telephoto lens 3D Depth Sensing Camera.
This configuration allows you to make use of SuperSensing cinema camera, a dual system, which takes advantage of the Cine Camera lens and its size of 1/1.54 inches to capture video with ISO 51200 and dynamic range extended to 4K and 60 frames per second and record in slow motion at 7,680fps . While SuperSensing camera captures 40 percent more light in dark situations with an ISO 409600 sensitivity.
The front camera also employs a 3D Depth Sensing Camera sensor, which offers boekeh effector with accurate depth-of-field information, specially designed for selfies and portraits.
The battery is another element that benefits from the power offered by Kirin 990 5G. The SuperCharge system complements Mate 30’s 4,200mAh battery (4,500mAh in Pro model) to deliver a long battery life. Both ‘smartphones’ feature reverse charging and 27 watt (W) wireless Supercharge charging on both models, which can also be used in the car, plus fast 40W charging for car with cables.
Mate30 features an ergonomic shape with a design in metallic material and 3D glass, as well as a waterfall’s ‘Horizon’ display for more immersive content, with an 88-degree curvature with double-sided control on the curved edge. It has a surface of 6.5 inches OLED in its Pro model, which passes to 6.62 inches in the standard Mate30, with a ratio of 18.4:9, with protection against blue lights and cinema mode to enhance colors.
Mate 30 and 30 Pro will be available in Emerald green, Space Silver, Cosmic Purple and Black. Forest Green and Orange colors will come with vegan leather.
