Short description Motorola P30

This is a smartphone on Android 8 Oreo with a very fast and productive processor, with a huge touchscreen size, with a great camera that has 2 modules (16 MP, 5 MP Depth sensor), and the front camera here turned out to be absolutely ordinary. And Motorola P30 has such features: a slot for two SIM cards, cut-out notch above the screen (so that a selfie camera, speakers and additional sensors are placed there).

Disclaimer. The table shows the main technical characteristics of the device. For a full list of features and capabilities of this model, see the manufacturer’s website. We can not guarantee that the information on this page is 100% correct.

Android version and market relevance

Announcement! We need more new products from Motorola. This time these guys announced Motorola P30. This is a smartphone on Android 8 Oreo in 2018.

More detailed characteristics of this smartphone you can see below on the page, and in short we will describe the most important of them. So, firstly, there are no updates for this model the manufacturer does not release, so feel free to search for other smartphones in 2018 and choose from them. And, secondly, Motorola P30 has a slot for two SIM cards and supports their mutual work (all smartphones with 2 sim cards). And thirdly, Motorola P30 it does not support work in the fifth generation networks (5G). If this is very important and necessary for you, we advise you to choose any 5G smartphone in our catalog. Next about the screen, the camera and the processor with memory.

Screen, body and battery

By the size of the Motorola P30 screen, we were assigned to a segment phablets (smartphones with a huge screen), considering that the bezels around the screen are very small (all smartphones with an edge-to-edge screen). See for yourself, here is IPS LCD-screen with diagonal 6.2″ and with a rectangular-like notch for selfie camera and sensors.

Dimensions of the screen dictate to us and the size of the case. At Motorola P30 the case turned out slightly thick (already whole 7.7 mm). The battery in this model has a capacity 3 000 mAh. This model could become a flip smartphone and get into our catalog on a separate page, where all phones with flexible screens are collected. Unfortunately, this did not happen. And therefore, if you are interested in smartphones with such top-end characteristics, we advise you to look at them in our catalog and get a deeper understanding in which direction the entire mobile electronics industry is moving. Perhaps, in a couple of years, every second person on the planet will have such flip smartphones.

Main camera and selfie camera

A selfie camera is located in front of the screen with one lens: 12 MP Wide. Among all the cameras, this we attributed to the segment weak cameras. This model has a front camera as usual at the top of the screen, like 99.9% of all smartphones. But, if this makes you bored, then we can offer smartphones with pop-up front camera. In these models, the front camera is located inside the body and goes up only when you activate the front camera mode. It sounds interesting, but how convenient it is and how long this mechanism will work is not yet clear.

The main camera got several modules (dual camera smartphones): 16 MP with a regular lens + 5 MP Depth sensor, located on the back of the body. We defined it in the segment very good cameras. You can buy this smartphone. Why do you need a camera with multiple modules in a smartphone? And what are the advantages of such a camera? This allows you to take very beautiful portraits with bokeh (blurred background) effect. And an additional lens with a different focal length provides a high-quality approximation (zoom) for photography. In addition, software algorithms can improve the quality of the photo after processing frames from each camera module.

Processor and Internal Memory

Smartphone Motorola P30 received a 8-core processor Snapdragon 636, RAM 6 GB and built-in memory 64 GB. Also there is support for memory cards microSDXC.

Price for Motorola P30: buy or not to buy?

The smartphone Motorola P30 got into our price segment “Below average smartphones from $200 to $300” and began to be sold in September 2018 at a price of $280. Evaluation of the characteristics, probably, you have already folded, and if not, here is our result. Motorola P30 is a very smart smartphone with a huge screen and a cool main camera, and the front camera did not turn out super cool. And to all this we add that the battery here is absolutely normal.

Is it worth buying now this model of the smartphone, we are talking about our status “Droid-or-Junk”. Of course, at the beginning of sales, almost every smartphone becomes a Droid, and we advise buying such models. But over time, the situation is changing, no one updates the Android version in the smartphone, and in six months or a year this smartphone can already become a Junk. In this case, we advise you to go to the DROID smartphones page in our catalog, where we always show the most current models on sale for today. There are variants from different price segments, so you will have plenty to choose from.
