Huawei is China’s biggest technology company, they are known for manufacturing smartphones, smart accessories, laptops, TVs, and other consumer electronics. Although Huawei has been banned from working with US companies, this has not really affected their launch of phones in China and other regions. Huawei has launched the Huawei Mate 30E Pro 5G silently in China.
The Mate 30E Pro 5G was launched alongside the Mate 40 series smartphones and it comes in as a refreshed version of the previous Huawei Mate 30 Pro 5G that was launched the year before.

It also has support for HDR10 so you watch high dynamic range content on this phone.
The screen is protected by the Corning Gorilla Glass 6 which is scratch resistant and also immune to easy damage. The phone has a 94.1% screen-to-body ratio with a medium-sized U-notch at the top which is similar to the notch of the iPhone X.
Looking at the phone, there are no bezels at the sides as you get a near-perfect full view experience except for the presence of noticable bezes at the top and bottom with a notch.
Beneath the display, there is an optical fingerprint sensor that is used for biometric authentication. You don’t need the sensor being at the rear as it can now be under the screen.
Design and Body
The design of this phone still remains unchanged and it is still beautiful even though it was first unveiled to the world about a year ago.
