Huawei Mate 30 and Mate 30 Pro release date, specs, features and rumours

Huawei was on a serious winning streak until recently. Its P30 Pro is one of the best camera phones on the market, if not the best, but with Google's Android support currently questionable from August 2019, it's muddy waters for the Chinese company at the moment. We're still expecting Huawei to continue as normal as possible though, including launching another couple of devices before the year is out. Here is everything we know and have hear! d so far about the Mate 30 and Mate 30 Pro. Huawei Mate 30 and Mate 30 Pro release date Mid-October 2019 Huawei Mate 30 Lite at IFA 2019 Typically, the Huawei Mate series is released in October. The Mate 10, Mate 10 Pro and Mate 10 Porsche Design were revealed on 16 October 2017, while the Mate 20 and Mate 20 Pro were announced on 16 October 2018. We therefore expect the Mate 30 and Mate 30 Pro to be announced around mid-October, though we might see a Mate 30 Lite announced at IFA 2019 in Berlin, which takes place towards the end of August.
