Needless to say, the situation surrounding Huawei is becoming more and more severe day by day. With Huawei being added to the US Department of Commerce's "entity list," it is certain that it will be difficult to procure the parts needed to make smartphones. Furthermore, the use of Google services such as the Google Play store and Gmail, and Android OS updates may not be supported in the future. In addition, the future of the original processor "Kirin" developed by Huawei's HiSilicon has become uncertain as ARM has announced that it will withdraw from joint development with the company. Furthermore, Huawei's name has disappeared from the SD Association, an SD card standardization organization. There is a high possibility that SD cards will not be usable on the company's terminals in the future. Literally, the impression is that the Huawei siege was laid in a blink of an eye. Perhaps in anticipation of these risks, the carrier's reaction was quick. Softbank and KDDI postponed the launch of the newly announced new product. Reservation acceptance has also been cancelled. DoCoMo, which was scheduled to be released this summer, has also stopped accepting new reservations. In addition, some MVNO operators such as Rakuten Mobile have also announced that the release of the P30 series will be postponed. And what seems to have done a lot of damage to Huawei is that Amazon has stopped selling directly. Amazon says, "There are serious concerns about the OS," and has shown thorough efforts to stop direct sales of all products, including not only new products but also old smartphone models, tablets, notebook PCs, and smart watches. Meanwhile, the company's latest smartphone "P30" series was released on May 24th. Currently, it is sold at mass retailers such as Yodobashi Camera and Bic Camera and EC sites, but some mass retailers such as Yamada Denki have not released it. How good is the result? I bought the entry model "P30 lite" of the series and actually tried it.
Huawei "P30 lite" ■ Skillful packaging, high total balance The selling price of the P30 lite at Yodobashi Camera is 35,510 yen (tax included). Since there is a 10% point reduction, it is calculated that you can actually purchase it for as little as 30,000 yen. What I felt after using it for a day was its high cost performance. Although I feel the trace of cost reduction in the details, there is no big hole as a total experience. It was well-balanced in every corner, and I was impressed by the skill of packaging. The width of the main body is 72.7 mm, which is almost the same as the iPhone XS and XR, and it is easy to hold. The screen is about 6.15 inch FHD + (2312 x 1080 pixels) LCD, and the screen occupancy rate is high. The HUAWEI logo on the old model P20 lite has been moved to the back, and the area of the notch has become even smaller. With a clean design, you can immerse yourself in the screen.There is a notch, but it's a size that is almost unnoticeable
