Xiaomi Mi 9 Lite

Design and Display

The Xiaomi Mi 9 Lite was built to impress customers who desire a smartphone that looks modern and yet falls in the category low-cost phones.

The Xiaomi Mi 9 Lite may not feature the best of the best design, considering the designs we have seen from Xiaomi this year, but when placed side by side smartphones at the same price point, you begin to appreciate the Xaiomi Mi 9 Lite.

The Xiaomi Mi 9 has a plastic build. Due to the caliber of a mobile phone it falls under, having a glass and metal build would alter the price, making it inaccessible to the category of people it was intended.

On the rear of the Xiaomi Mi 9 Lite, there is a holographic design, with a colorful spiral line drawn from the top of the phone to the bottom, fading as it reaches the edges.

The setup on the rear and front of the Xiaomi Mi 9 Lite is exactly the same as what we had on the Xiaomi Mi 9. The holographic design with Spiral lines makes a difference.

The rear covering of the Xiaomi Mi 9 Lite houses a triple camera system, a camera flash, text describing the camera details briefly and the Xiaomi branding.

Upfront on the Android phone has a very familiar setup. Familiar due to the fact that many smartphones before the Xiaomi Mi 9 Lite have featured this setup.

There is a display with a drop notch, and a noticeable bottom bezel, that is forgivable, as long you didn’t own a flagship device before now.

On the Xiaomi Mi 9 Lite, we have a 6.39 inch AMOLED display, with a screen resolution of 1080 x 2340 and a screen density of 403 ppi.

Under this display, there is an optical fingerprint sensor, that is geared towards helping you secure data stored.

The Xiaomi Mi 9 Lite comes in three color variants. The variants include Black, white and blue.

The Cameras

One of the reasons I love the Xiaomi smartphone brand is its ability to deliver solid camera hardware. This fact holds for a lot of Xiaomi Smartphones under many price points.

The cameras on the Xiaomi Mi 9 Lite may not be high-end by any means, but they churn out great pictures in good condition. They are also a unique feature in a smartphone of this caliber.

The smartphone features a triple camera system housing a 48MP primary camera with an aperture of F/1.8, an 8MP ultrawide camera, and a 2MP depth sensor.

For Selfies, the Xiaomi Mi 9 Lite is equipped with a 32MP camera with an aperture of F/2.0. There is no selfie camera flash here. This device makes use of screen flash to brighten selfies.

Hardware and Software

The Xiaomi Mi 9 Lite is no flagship, rather it’s a mid-range device equipped with specs that let you do a more than basic tasks. You have solid specs that should let you surf the net with ease, play games and lots more without lag.

The smartphone is equipped with a 10 nm Octa-core Snapdragon 710 processor, as opposed to the Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 featured in its big brother the Xiaomi Mi 9.

The Qualcomm Snapdragon 710 processor featured on the Xiaomi Mi 9 Lite has processing speeds of 2.2GHz max and 1.7GHz.

For graphics, the Xiaomi Mi 9 Lite features an Andreno 616 graphics processing unit. This GPU aids the processor in rendering games playable on this smartphone.

The Xiaomi Mi 9 Lite also features a 6GB Ram, 64GB or 128GB of internal storage, with support for up to 256GB of Micro-SD storage.

There is also a 4030mAh battery on this device and an 18W fast charge mechanism, that ensures your smartphone gets filled quickly.

Connectivity

The Xiaomi Mi 9 Lite features a 3.5mm headphone jack and a USB Type C version 2.0 port. The Xiaomi Mi 9 Lite also features a Dual-band wifi system, NFC and Bluetooth 5.0.

The smartphone has support for band 3, 7 and 28. This means you will be able to use Glo, Airtel, MTN and  9Mobile 4G sims on this device.

As for 5G connectivity, the Xiaomi Mi 9 Lite doesn’t support 5G network. You won’t be able to use 5G internet connectivity on this device, now or anytime in the future.

Xiaomi Mi 9 Lite Price and Availability

Xiaomi Mi 9 Lite price in Nigeria should start at around 87,000 Naira, which is around $241.99.

The Xiaomi Mi 9 Lite is available for purchase in retails stores near you as well as in online retail stores.

Huawei Mate 30 Specs and Price

Huawei Mate30

The Huawei Mate 30 is a successor of the Mate 20. This has been a very interesting year for Huawei – especially given the fact that they were almost booted off the Android platform.

Where to Buy Huawei Mate 30

Jumia Nigeria – See Offers | Jumia Kenya – See Offers | Jumia Ghana – See Offers

Even in the midst of all that, though, they came out strong with four new devices for the top shelf – the Mate 30, Mate 30 Pro, Mate 30 5G and Mate 30 Pro 5G.

All of these units are flagship materials in their own way, but they are also as different as they are alike. That is why we take out the time to see what the standard Mate 30 has to offer us.

Huawei Mate 30 Key Specs and Features

  • 6.62 inch OLED Display, 1080 x 2340 pixels (389 ppi), 19.5:9 aspect ratio, HDR10
  • Android 10; EMUI 10
  • Octa-core HiSilicon Kirin 990 (7 nm+) CPU, Mali-G76 MP16 GPU
  • 40MP + 8MP + 16MP Triple Rear Camera
  • 24MP + ToF sensor Dual selfie camera
  • Configurations – 128GB 6GB RAM, 128GB 8GB RAM, UFS3.0
  • Colours – Black, Space Silver, Cosmic Purple, Emerald Green
  • 40W Fast Charging Capacity
  • 27W Fast Wireless Charging Capacity
  • 4200 mAh Li-Po Non-removable Battery

Huawei Mate 30

Design and Display

The first thing that stands out here is on the curved 6.62-inch screen, and that is nothing more than the notch. Huawei is one of the brands that first adopted the waterdrop notch style, so we don’t know why they would go for a larger one here.

This effectively brings the screen to body ratio of the Huawei Mate 30 to about 88%. That is still impressive, but it could have been more.

If we are willing to look past that, we will see that this is a beautiful OLED capacitive touchscreen on the front, and the Huawei Mate 30 will be using glass on the back for premium treatment too.

Speaking of the back, that is where we have a unique cut-out for the triple camera sensors. Unlike the iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro, though, this cut-out will be at the centre of the unit.

After seeing the camera on the back, a fingerprint sensor is obviously missing. That is because Huawei has chosen to move that under the screen for this year.

Besides all the normal buttons on the side of the unit (power and volume rocker keys), we are glad to get the 3.5mm jack on this device.

At a time when other manufacturers are taking it off – mainly to sell their earbuds – we love that it is still available here.

Finally, the design of android phone is rounded off in the colour options we get it in – Black, Space Silver, Cosmic Purple and Emerald Green.

Camera

We did mention that the Huawei Mate 30 has three cameras on the back, and they all clock in with sensors rated 40MP, 8MP and 16MP.

Huawei Mate 30

The first sensor is the main unit and it is capable of taking wide shots. When it comes to ultrawide pictures, though, the second 16MP sensor kicks into play.

For the smallest one, telephoto operations have been designed. This will most likely be the one to focus on the portrait mode pictures that this device will be taking.

To better the chances of a cleaner image in low light, users get a dual-LED, dual-tone flash with the unit. We would have loved to get a quad LED flash instead since those tend to be brighter. At the end of the day, though, it all boils down to the camera aperture.

Looking at the front of the Huawei Mate 30, we have a 24MP selfie snapper waiting to go. Beside that is a 3D ToF sensor which we believe will handle the detailing and depth of selfie cameras. In other words, there will be some portrait mode features on the front too.

We don’t get a dedicated LED flash here, so you might have to stay away from taking selfies in low light.

Hardware, Software and Other Features

It is no news that Huawei likes to keep most of the parts and OS in-house, so the use of a Kirin 990 chipset should not be surprising. This chipset will compete with the best from Qualcomm and Samsung since it is also made on the highly efficient 7nm+ process.

On top of that, we have the all-new Android 10 shipping with the smartphone. Of course, that has been emulated onto EMUI 10 already.

Users can pick up their Huawei Mate 30 in either 6GB or 8GB of RAM options, but they will all be getting the same 128GB storage space out of the box. If you want more, you can always use the hybrid SIM slot for up to 256GB of extra memory.

After all said and done, the selfie camera is not just there for pictures and videos, but brings Face ID on board too. Now, we don’t know how secure this is going to be, but it should be close to the success Apple has had with this tech.

Finally, a 4200mAh battery equipped with 40W fast battery charging should keep the lights on. Lovers of wireless charging options will appreciate the 27W capabilities of this functionality – which is what most phones today have their wired charging at.

Likewise, you can use this phone to reverse charge other devices like your earbuds, smartwatches and smartphones in support of wireless charging. This makes your Huawei Mate 30 a sort of power bank, should you need it.

Furthermore, know that the Mate 30 won’t be coming with any Google apps out of the box – and you won’t be able to install them either. The company might still be able to use the Android licence, but they cannot use some products from US companies for now

Huawei Mate 30 Price and Availability

The Huawei Mate 30 was launched in September, 2019, but it is yet to make the market. The Asian OEM has, however, detailed that the unit will start shipping to interested customers from October.

Depending on which configuration you are picking, below are the standard launch prices for the unit:
• Huawei Mate 30 (6GB) – N/A
• Huawei Mate 30 (8GB) – £710

6 Tips to Wow Audience with your Presentation

We all want to be the show-stealer in those boardroom meetings, be the limelight in conference rooms and close billion-dollar deals with extraordinary speeches. One way to make it happen is to create irresistible PPT presentations.

Whether you are a student or a Human resource manager, we are all aware of the preeminence of Microsoft Powerpoint to help us earn some extra brownie points and its huge list of benefits that can transform you from a non-designer to a designer within seconds.

However, there are a few things that you must keep in mind before you start the journey ahead:

1. Say NO to built-in themes

Built-in themes sure as well do a pretty decent job, in fact it was a savior in the good-old college days. But here is the thing, to leave a mark, you need to stand apart, operate differently.

The reason why I suggest you, that while working on the aesthetics of your slides, add a touch of your own creativity. It will immediately grab viewers’ attention. Plus, you will end up leaving a stronger statement too.

There are a few portals that give you access to customized themes and templates. For instance, you can visit Pslides for free PowerPoint templates.

They have got a huge range of templates categorized for various purposes. The intricately designed layout, templates, diagrams, charts, diagrams and so on, can prove to be your USP on the D-day leading you to the win!

2. Look for Quality Photographs

Quality photographs are undoubtedly a major determinant for a stunning presentation. None of us want to scroll through those white background slides.

And now since the visual game is all that matters, photography is all the more important. Use the best quality photos exclusively design pictures instead of the same old ‘business-people on the white background.’

Trust me, it will instantly put you on a scale of one of the best presentations from the one in the many! For example, if you need 5 pictures for your presentation, don’t just go online select any 5 pictures and attach them.

Instead, brainstorm, take your time and then pick the best available. You can also surf through online portals like Flickr, Pexels, Freepik for royalty-free images.

3. Don’t take Typography for Granted

Presentations are a visual way of communicating your thoughts and ideas, so everything counts, including the font, size, formatting of your text.

Typography is the visual component of any text. It’s not just a means to improvise the text on your PPT, it is a way to communicate a specific mood, purpose, and even your goals.

So, before you type in all upper case for your headings, remember all-caps also resembles screaming! (and you surely don’t want to scream at your investor!)

4. Keep it Simple

A PPT is definitely the conversation-starter, but without the speaker, it’s already a fail. Thus, if you think that you can cram all your content in one slide and let the speaker rest – well, then that’s already sending the investors home.

Both the speaker and the PPT need to strike a balance between too little and too much. A solid PPT will distract your audience from what you are speaking. So instead, keep it simple with eye-pleasing visuals – it helps them focus on your speech.

5. Draft Concise Focal Points

Whatever you are working on, in your presentation; you certainly want your viewers and audience to garner special attention on a few points. That is what is termed as ‘focal points’.

It’s always advisable to highlight them in your PPT, tactical use of typography can serve the purpose – but remember there’s a thin line of difference between highlighting and screaming, you don’t want to cross that.

You can pick, something as simple as a different color for those few points, or a different font, size or simple ‘bold’. Apart from this, photography and visual illustration is also a great way to embolden the focal points.

If you don’t narrate your focal points clearly, your audience and users can lose interest almost immediately. None of us like to be beaten around the bush.

6. Create an Attractive Cover

Most of you might be thinking, how will the cover make a difference. It is usually played for less than a second, sometimes skipped, so why should you direct your efforts to create a cover.

Here is the thing, a beautiful cover with captivating images gives you a psychological advantage. As you begin things in a positive note, people know that they should pay attention. This step will also help the audience know what to expect from this PPT.

I am sure by now you must have understood that you necessarily need not be a designer to create masterpieces. Even non-designers can do great work. Nevertheless, I hope you make effective and stunning presentations. These measures are easily implementable.

So you will find the ATM machines installed only in the metropolitan cities of Morocco.If you are in Morocco, please know that you will not get the card swipe facility everywhere in Morocco, you need to have cash, small shops don’t accept cards or big currency notes.

It is advised to please read about the place’s economical activities and that will tell you what circumstances you will be going to face in Morocco. Don’t worry, you will find the ATM so easily there. But the actual concern is in the next heading.

Using an ATM Card

Are you sure that your Credit and Debit card will work in Morocco?

Conceptualize the situation that you have reached Morocco and find that your brand of a card doesn’t work there, what you will be facing? Of course, great torture and can ruin your whole trip.

For your information, Visa and Mastercard are mostly be used there and you will be withdrawing the cash from any of the ATM machines there.

If you use the Amex card in Europe then think that you should have enough cash in hand because the card doesn’t work there.

ATM Pins in Morocco

It is an important concern because some of the places in the world usually don’t have a four-digit pin. For example American magnetic strip card doesn’t have that thing, for that you have to consult to your bank and find the pin code to use in Morocco.

If you are a European, from UK or Australia, then don’t worry, in banking system, most generally in the world there is a four-digit security pin for ATM cards.

You don’t need to worry. You are on travel and you need to be careful, ATM machines are somehow don’t works or have no cash, for that time, be a proactive traveler and have a solution to that situation.

Keep in mind, nobody is there to seek help from, you need to be smarter. And yes, to consider the cash limit of an ATM is also important.

Shopping with ATM Card

How much money you can withdraw in 24 hours?

Sorry, I didn’t tell you before, the currency of Morocco is Dirham. Suppose you have fixed with your bank the withdrawal of money in your homeland.

You will be withdrawing the same amount there. The maximum of the amount could be 2k Morrocan Dirhams which can make 200 US dollars. So keep yourself updated.

Inform your Home Bank about your departure in advance

Do you know about online banking? That makes everything very easy. The other thing to do is to inform your Bank about your future activities abroad.

This is because banks are so secure about the transactions and to avoid any fraud. You will tell the country you are moving to, it would become easy for them to help you out even being there.

Your account will not be blocked on suspicion etc. The other things you need o consult your bank with is the fees of the transactions and withdrawal of money in Morocco.

Fees out of your home country counts high and it will be a disappointment when the average cost of your trip goes high because of the fees of the bank. So try if you don’t need to pay fees, it will be fine.

So sound yourself with knowledge about your banking, cash, and budget. You will be less hectic on the things and can enjoy your trip to Morocco exploring the beauties and fun of the destination it offers.

What Can Ceramic Car Paint Protection Do For You?

$

Paint Protection Film Hood

A ceramic coat is a liquid polymer that’s applied on a car’s exterior and serves to chemically bond with the car’s paint to create a protective layer over it. This coat forms a permanent bond with the car’s paint which helps to decrease and prevent scratches or imperfections in the paint.

As such, it doesn’t break down or wash away, neither does it need to be applied repeatedly. A single application is enough.

With that definition of what a ceramic coat is, here are some few things you need to know about what it can do for you:

1. It Protects Your Car From Chemical Stains

Your car’s paint is prone to get chemical stains resulting from naturally occurring acidic contaminants. By adding a layer of the ceramic coat to the car’s original paint, you can prevent these contaminants from bonding with your car’s paint. This, in turn, will make your car more resistant to the chemical stains. 

2. It Adds Gloss To Your Car

The first thing that people see when they look at your car is not the engine, as powerful as it is, it’s the paint, and they straightaway give a verdict of whether your car is cool or not.

Much as you own the car alone, driving it around means that it’s subject to public scrutiny and this can either make or break your ego as a car owner.

You want your car’s paint to be glossy and adding a ceramic coat on it will do the magic. A properly done ceramic coat will enhance your car paint’s reflective properties, making the paint job appear deeper, clearer, and glossier.

This alone will turn people’s heads as they look in admiration when you drive past them on the road.

3. It Protects Your Car From UV Rays Damage

When your car gets constant exposure to the sun, the paint on it begins to oxidize, resulting in a dull and faded-looking paint. If the paint job looks bad, no matter how powerful or classy your car is, it ends up looking so old and boring to drive.

Adding a layer of ceramic coat on top of the car paint protects it from the sun’s UV rays and this, in turn, prevents oxidation from taking place.

4. It Allows Easy Cleaning of the Car

A ceramic coat is hydrophobic which is to means that it doesn’t mix with water. This is a super important feature.

When your car has this hydrophobic ceramic coating applied to it, water will slide off the surface more easily because of the high tension created by the polymer.

As such, grime and mud won’t be able to bond with your car’s paint and removing contaminants will be an easy process when cleaning the car with water. Drying and detailing the car also becomes an easy task to do.

Conclusion

To sum up all these in one statement, what a ceramic car paint will do for you is that it will provide an additional layer of protection to your vehicle’s exterior and leave it looking as though it’s brand new.

Now that you’re well informed of what the ceramic coat will do for you, you can go ahead and get that ceramic car paint protection that your vehicle desperately needs.

Why you need Custom Software Solutions for your Business

Custom Software Solutions

The Naija hustle is famous in the world of business. Nigerians know how to make things happen. A strong work ethic and a knack for entrepreneurship can only take things so far. At a certain point, even the savviest business person needs to seek the assistance of custom software solutions if he wants to move his business to the next level of success.

Even if you have the required experience to do the job yourself, there is a good chance you do not have the time with all the other critical daily tasks you have to complete. Sometimes the best option is to pass this kind of work to an expert in the field of custom software solutions.

It may seem like a more expensive option, but it will save you a lot of time. Time is money, and you need to focus your energy on where you can add the most value to your operation. We have found this out the hard way so many times before, trust us.

What are Custom Software Solutions?

Custom software solutions refer to software that is specifically designed for a particular client or company. In the past, businesses had to settle for generic, off-the-shelf technology that all of their competitors were also using.

Luckily, technology developers have wised up to the fact that people want options. There is now a variety of custom (sometimes referred to as bespoke) software on the market that helps differentiate a business from its competitors.

No longer do you have to accept an off the shelf solution to the specific needs of your company. Now you can get what you want to be built specifically with your business. Why should you have to accept second best in an area critical to your operation?

What Does This Technology Offer?

Custom software provides a specialized set up to address a company’s needs within a particular industry. This can refer to any of the following uses:

  • Streamlining processes such as finances, inventories, and hr functions
  • Designing new software functionality
  • Automating services
  • Identifying service improvement opportunities
  • Flexibility to adapt to changing needs
  • Better customer relations

In truth, the possibilities are nearly endless. Technology is developing so fast that it is almost an “if you can dream it, they can create it” industry.

You can see why so many people are moving into the world of tech. Nobody knows how much things will change and develop over the years to come. It is an incredibly exciting time for businesses and professionals alike.

Custom Software Solutions

Types of Custom Software Solutions

The benefits of custom software is that the kinds of solutions available are diverse and improving all the time. Leading web development company Brain Box specializes in this type of work and describes several types of custom solutions currently available on its website, including planning and execution software, financial management, and shipping systems.

Be sure to shop around a bit before making a decision. It is crucial that you have a clear requirement and expectation for what you want.

Spend time in this planning stage to avoid missing the whole point of developing something new. It will pay you back, and then some in the future.

Cost:

Cost is certainly an issue here because these services are not cheap. When calculating the likely costs for custom software development, there are several things to consider.

These include the stage that the business (or business idea) is in, what you plan to achieve, and what are the intended business outcomes.

Incorporating custom software assistance at earlier stages of business development usually results in a higher price tag. The main reason is that these services get more fully integrated into the fabric of the company.

It also requires a lot more planning, testing and other factors to consider when wanting to implement a bespoke software to meet your needs.

Regardless of the initial cost, it is also critical to include projections for how much revenue increase is expected through the utilization of these services. This will give a fuller picture of the overall benefit of customizing a company’s software.

The Future:

The future is bright for companies who understand the need for custom software. For better or worse, success is nearly impossible these days without a strong, structured, and well-run online presence.

Businesses have the option to hire software developers to manage their online content directly or to outsource the work. There are pros and cons to both choices. But either way, how to get ahead of the competition is to customize your company’s offerings differently.

In this digital and globally-connected world, the best way to do that is with custom solutions. There is no point wasting your time and energy on something built for all when you could have something created precisely for you and your businesses needs.

Huawei Mate 30 Pro Specs and Price

Huawei Mate 30 Pro

The Huawei Mate 30 Pro follows the same design philosophy as the smaller Mate 30, and it also brings the same problems on board. For one, you cannot use Google apps on the device due to the ongoing trade war, but we hope that gets cleared up soon.
Besides that little glitch, though, you get all the makings of a true flagship in this one. If what you have seen with the standard Mate 30 did wow you, wait till you see how the Pros handle this game.

Where to Buy Huawei Mate 30 Pro

Jumia Nigeria – See Offers | Jumia Kenya – See Offers | Jumia Ghana – See Offers

Huawei Mate 30 Pro Key Specs and Features

  • 6.53 inches, OLED capacitive touchscreen, 16M colors
  • Front/back glass (Gorilla Glass 6), aluminum frame
  • Configurations – 128GB 8GB RAM, 256GB 8GB RAM, UFS3.0
  • Quad rear camera – 40MP + 8MP + 40MP + 3D ToF sensor
  • Android 10; EMUI 10
  • HiSilicon Kirin 990 (7 nm+), Mali-G76 MP16
  • Colours – Black, Space Silver, Cosmic Purple, Emerald Green
  • Non-removable Li-Po 4500 mAh battery

Huawei Mate 30 Pro

Design and Display

The first thing worthy of note here is that this screen is a bit smaller than what we have on the Mate 30. At 6.53 inches, the curved edges of the OLED screen look just as nice here, giving way to the back where we have the same glass treatment.

Both sides of the Huawei Mate 30 Pro gets a Corning Gorilla Glass 6 treatment to protect against scratch and breakages – but that does not mean they should be handled anyhow either.

Moving on from that, we have an aluminium frame which is surely lacking in side volume buttons.

This year, Huawei has decided to go for virtual controllers embedded in the screen – and that makes for a nicer UI and overall cleaner feel. Even though it would take a while to get used to, it does contribute to the beauty of the unit.

The volume rockers are not the only things missing here, though, with Huawei opting to ditch the 3.5mm jack on the Pro unit. Speaking of beauty, you can choose to have the Huawei Mate 30 Pro in any of Black, Space Silver, Cosmic Purple or Emerald Green.

No matter which of the colours you pick, you get a massive quad-camera setup on the back – and they do come with a dedicated LED flash system. This is in addition to the further dual-camera system on the front of the device.

Rounding off the aesthetics of this unit is the massive notch – by current standards, that is – which is still on the front of the device. At a time when we could have had the waterdrop style notch, or a hole punched into the screen like with the Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus, this could have been improved too.

Camera

A total of 6 cameras ship with the Huawei Mate 30 Pro, and they are all as interesting as they come. The front of the unit has a notch which houses the 32 megapixels main snapper backed up by a 3D ToF sensor.

The latter sensor will not only help put more depth in images, but greatly improve the operations of the Face ID which ships with this smartphone.

Although the selfie camera can capture HDR and panorama shots, we don’t see a LED flash in sight.

The rear cameras make up for this by coming with a dual-tone, dual-LED flash of their own. That is just worthy of a 40MP main unit for wide shots flanked by an 8MP telephoto shooter, another 40MP ultrawide sensor and a final 3D ToF camera too.

All of these will surely combine to produce some of the best mobile photography shots in the market today.

Hardware, Software and Other Features

Huawei continued its tradition by using a HiSilicon Kirin 990 chipset manufactured under the highly efficient 7nm+ process for this top of the line device. That should do well to ensure the massive 4500mAh battery is properly managed, as well as the handling of other tasks too.

Even if the chipset were not helping to optimise the battery, a 40W fast charging capability means you don’t have to wait long to get juiced up. Wireless charging fans will love the 27W rating on the Huawei Mate 30 Pro, as well as the ability of the phone to function like a power bank – reverse charging other units wirelessly.

There are only 8GB RAM options for this device, but they can be picked up in storage options of either 128GB or 256GB. For users who want more storage, a shared microSD card slot can take an additional 256GB.

Huawei Mate 30 Pro Price and Availability

Huawei Mate 30 Pro price is €1,099 (435,000 Naira) for the 256GB model. Like the other units in this series, the Mate 30 Pro has been launched, but is not yet available for sale. Fans will have to wait till an unannounced date in October to start using this device at all.

If you are one of the potential buyers, though, you should be saving towards the purchase according to these initial pricing estimates:
• Mate 30 Pro (128GB) –
• Mate 30 Pro (256GB) –
