The Huawei P30 was trolled by Xiaomi for its similar hardware but higher pricing.
Highlight:
- The Huawei P30 Pro became the subject of Xiaomi's trolling on two Facebook.
- Xiaomi took a dig at the pricing and the specs of the Huawei P30, comparing it against the Xiaomi Mi 9.
- The Huawei P30 comes with a triple-camera system along with flagship hardware like a 7nm Kirin 980 SoC, 6GB RAM and 128GB storage.
The Huawei P30 series recently launched at an event in Paris where Huawei marketed the flagship that revolutionises the camera. But the company couldn’t escape the ire of Xiaomi’s social media trolling after the P30 Pro became the latest target in a series of such trolls where Xiaomi took on Samsung, Apple and even OnePlus.
In a Facebook post, Xiaomi took a potshot at at the Huawei P30 series, especially the pricing of the phones showing a screenshot from the livestream, with the caption, “is this really necessary?”. Not stopping there, Xiaomi posted another photo comparing the specs and price of the Xiaomi Mi 9 and the Huawei P30, along with a caption, “we really believe in giving you amazing products at #HonestPrices. Do you think a flagship smartphone should cost a fortune? #Mi9?”
The P30 series which has the Huawei P30 Pro and the P30, launched at an event last week in Paris. The P30 Pro and the P30 come with the flagship Kirin 980 SoC under the hood featuring dual NPUs. The P30 Pro packs a bigger 6.47-inch AMOLED Panel with 8GB RAM and up to 512GB storage. Meanwhile, the P30 has a 6.1-inch AMOLED panel with 6GB RAM and 128GB storage.
The highlight of the series, however, are the camera systems on the back of the phones. The Huawei P30 Pro comes with a quad-camera setup with a 40MP, 20MP, and 8MP sensor along with a ToF 3D sensor. There’s also a 32MP front camera. The Huawei P30 also sports a similar setup, sans the ToF sensor.
The Xiaomi Mi 9 also comes close in terms of the hardware offered in the Huawei P30 with a 6.39-inch AMOLED panel, Snapdragon 855 SoC and a triple camera setup housing a 48MP sensor along with a 12MP and a 16MP camera. Both phones also come with an in-display fingerprint sensor, but the Mi 9 takes the lead with 20W fast wireless charging while the Huawei P30 doesn’t have wireless charging. But perhaps, the biggest point which Xiaomi can raise against the P30 is the price. The Xiaomi Mi 9 is modestly priced at 499 Euros (roughly Rs 38,000) while the Huawei P30 is priced at 799 Euros (roughly Rs 62,000). That’s almost double the price of Xiaomi’s flagship!
