The wide, bokeh and low-light capture capabilities are carried over to video.It is powered by Huawei&#x27;s own Kirin 990 processor and a 4,500 mAh battery that can support fast charging of up to 40 watts with wires and 27 watts wireless. The wireless reverse charging for accessories is also 3 times faster, he said.The new flagship phone runs Android 10 and EMUI 10, Yu said.The sides of the 6.53-inch OLED panel curves to the edges, giving the illusion of a near borderless display.A large part of the phone&#x27;s glass back has a frosted finish, to prevent fingerprint smudging. Huawei is also offering the Mate 30 series in a vegan leather back option instead of glass.<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en">Meet the <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/HuaweiMate30?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#HuaweiMate30</a> Series family!
