P30 Pro safe to buy?
Discussion
Long story short, travel a lot and constantly using the phone sending emails, calls.... the usual. And always running out of battery. Leave the house at 6 and by 9 I'm already at 70%. therefore I have been looking at phones with the longest battery life - anything above 4000mAh.
But with this ban on Huawei, should I be scared or avoid them? I have looked at the S10+ but really seem to like the P30 Pro, it's just different.
Is the p30 safe to buy? thought's on this, please.

Another shout out for OnePlus. Also got a 5 and it has been superb, 2 years on nearly and it still has great battery life and performance overall. Can t fault it and will definitely be looking at One Plus when the time comes.
Just realised had mine 2 years and a month now! Still feels like a new-ish phone to me!Mr-B said:

Really? All that with a 4000mah battery? Sounds impressive.
No OP5 only has 3300, but yeah with light use it does last. Charged midday yesterday up to 85% down to 45% right now, will probably get through most of tomorrow.alorotom said:
Personally I wouldn’t touch a Huawei or Honor handset with a barge pole at the moment. If it has to be android I’d get a monster battery pack.
If you aren’t bothered about android / iPhone the XSMax battery lasts very well imho
Why is that? Existing Huawei phones have no issues with being supported by Google. The P30 Pro I can only imagine is an excellent phone, my P20 is awesome. From a battery perspective mine is over a year old and still goes into the next day with heavy use.If you aren’t bothered about android / iPhone the XSMax battery lasts very well imho

There is also the resale value aspect that even un-compromised Huawei and Honor handsets have had huge swathes of their intrinsic trade value knocked off them rendering them poor purchases (against what they are costed at new) in my eyes.
Huawei perfectly safe and sensible purchase. Trump's trade war with China won't focus on them much longer and the P30 will be fully supported for as long as any other phone would be. He has already said he will allow them to trade with US companies again.
Alternatively, get a used one and reap the rewards of the trade battle.
I am perfectly happy with my Mate 20 Pro and the battery is epic.

It’s nothing to do with current technical ability. It’s the ongoing nature of potential of them being compromised in the medium to long term. This would render apps like banking unresponsive overnight.

As mentioned, all current phones will remain fully supported.There is also the resale value aspect that even un-compromised Huawei and Honor handsets have had huge swathes of their intrinsic trade value knocked off them rendering them poor purchases (against what they are costed at new) in my eyes.

Why dont you just buy a decent battery pack to charge phone?
Because some people don't want to have to carry around a power brick and a cable wherever they go. It makes me chuckle when I see top end Galaxy and iPhone users carrying round a battery pack the same size as their phone (and thicker) as "standard practice". It's such a step back when you can buy a fair few phones with big batteries inside them, and the phone is still slim.snake_oil said:
Not my understanding but happy to be corrected. Got a link to that?
It’s quite well publicised but ...https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.digit.in/articl...
