Huawei launches new Mate 30 Pro 5G variant in China

Huawei unveiled the Mate 30 Pro 5G in September. Since then, the Mate 30 Pro has been popping up in several countries outside China. However, until now, the Mate 30 Pro 5G was only available in two memory variants – 8GB RAM and 512GB storage and 8GB RAM and 256GB storage.

Huawei recently added a third Mate 30 Pro 5G variant with 8GB of RAM and 128GB storage. The new model is currently available for pre-order in China, starting from CNY 6,399 (Approx. Rs 64,500). The first open sale for the device will commence on December 18.

The 5G version of the Mate 30 Pro is powered by the Kirin 990 5G SoC, which is built on the 7nm+ process node and packs an integrated 5G modem. The Mate 30 Pro runs on Android 10-based EMUI 10 out of the box without Google’s mobile services. It also boasts a 4,500 mAh battery with support for 40W wired and 27W wireless fast charging.
