Huawei has officially unveiled its 2019 flagship smartphones, the Mate 30 and Mate 30 Pro at a media event in Munich, Germany.

The two 5G flagship smartphones are the first flagship smartphones from the Shenzhen-based tech giant to ship without Google services.

The Huawei Mate 30 Pro packs an impressive technical profile with the highlights being a gorgeous 6.53-inch display, a sophisticated quad rear camera profile and an ultra-modern design concept.

The Huawei Mate 30 is also equally impressive. It packs an impressive performance profile, a triple rear camera system and the latest in fast-charging tech.

The obvious elephant in the room is about how premium smartphone shoppers will respond to a smartphone that ships without essential Google services.

Google services such as Maps and Mail are now essential in the lifestyle of most and thus there is the probability that a section of smartphone consumers that will find the lack of the services less appealing.

However, the good thing is that Huawei has the lion’s share of the Chinese market. With Google services already banned in China, the Mate 30 series smartphones have a nice launching pad.
