It’s a difficult task to properly describe the Huawei Mate 30 Pro. It’s not because of what it is, but because it arrived in not necessarily “favorable” times. The U.S. decided to add Huawei to its trade blacklist in May 2019, and, as such, the Chinese company was banned from purchasing U.S. tech, regardless if it is products or services.
While models announced before the ban (basically every phone and tablet prior to the Mate 30-series) will continue to be supported for the entirety of their lifespan, for the Mate 30 Pro, Huawei was forced to ship it without Google’s official support.
