Huawei Honor 30 Pro+

“It's unfortunate that Honor has once again released a phone, which you probably won't be able to get. The lack of Google Services puts it at a great disadvantage and the only way to offset that is to lower the price significantly. If it had Google Services, the Honor 30 Pro+ would have been a competitive smartphone worth your hard-earned money. But Huawei's AppGallery still has a long way to go and the majority of apps still rely on Google's Services and there's no easy way around it.”

“The Honor 30 Pro+ is a great phone if we judge it by its performance, camera and specs. However, as Huawei is banned from using technology from US companies, this smartphone comes without access to the Google Play Store and relies on Huawei’s own solution, the App Gallery. The lack of Google services and Play Store is the only downside of this otherwise great phone -- and surely the reason why the Honor P30 Pro+ is practically unavailable in western markets.”

“The Honor 30 Pro+ offers phenomenal hardware at a very competitive price, most of all the camera – right up there with the best around. As ever, the big caveat is simply software, as like all modern Huawei phones this doesn't support Google Mobile Services.”

“The Honor 30 Pro Plus is the Huawei sub-brand’s best phone to date and a better all-round package than the vanilla Huawei P40. However, due to limited availability and lacking Google services, it's ultimately a phone that's as tricky to recommend as it is to actually buy.”
