A Huawei announced the line P30 in the Brazilian market with two smartphones: the P30 Pro, described as the “best camera phone in the world”And P30 Lite, more affordable model. The two devices are quite complete and each one takes the experience P30 da Huawei for your target audience.
But, of course, there are many interesting features hidden in the devices that give an optimized user experience, such as Artificial Intelligence, smart screen and camera. For those who want to buy the line P30, or you already have a smartphone from the line, we have prepared these 30 tips and tricks for you to get the most out of your gadgets and use the device's full potential.
A warning before we start listing: the tips and tricks listed below work both when P30 Pro how long P30 Lite. However, some features described are not yet present in the smaller model. Don't worry, we'll let you know which model we're talking about.
Screen Resolution
Biggest bet for the smartphone market for 2019, the P30 Pro brings a screen of respect. They are 6,47'' infinite with Full HD+ resolution, OLED technology and support for the HDR10 standard. This default display resolution can be changed to HD+ if you prefer, either for reasons of lack of load or preference, and it's quite simple.
Now at P30 Lite, there is also a Full HD+ screen, but the size is 6,15 inches and the technology is LED. Both screens are very beautiful despite the P30 Pro It has a deeper black and more vivid colors.
To change, go to Settings/Display Settings/Screen Resolution. There is the option to leave this choice of resolution with the smartphone, when it detects that the battery is low. To do this, simply enable Smart Resolution.
Dark Mode
O Dark Mode it is a function that all the latest smartphones are gaining. The function, in addition to leaving the smartphone with darker tones - particularly, more beautiful -, helps to save battery and rest the vision of harmful blue light.
Unfortunately, the Dark Mode is only present in EMUI 9.0 of P30 Pro. Perhaps in a future update we will be able to see the function in the most basic model.
To activate the Dark Mode No. P30 Pro, patch me Settings/Battery/Interface Dark.
Customize home screen
Like every smartphone with many customization options, it is possible to customize wallpaper, widgets, transitions and home screen layout both on the P30 Pro how much in P30 Lite with just a pinch gesture on the home screen.
The big news here is EMUI, the customized interface based on Android 9, which allows you to change screen transitions according to your preference. There's also a way to shrink the app icons to fit more on a screen, if you prefer.
Screenshot of the screen
There are 3 ways to “print” the screen:
- The first is pressing the Power + Volume buttons down at the same time;
- In Screenshot, in the notifications panel, it is also possible to print;
- Swipe down with three fingers to capture (present in the P30 Lite);
- And lastly and most interestingly, double-click with your little finger on the screen to be 'printed' to capture the screen. After that, just drag the photo up and choose the sharing mode (present in P30 Pro).
comfortable viewing
Eye comfort has become an indispensable feature on any smartphone, given the amount of time the user spends connected daily. The feature basically decreases the emission of blue light emitted by the smartphone and makes your eyes not irritated.
The smartphone gives several programming options for the feature to be turned on or off, or leave it enabled forever. We recommend that you leave it from the beginning of the night until the morning of the next day. So you don't lose that much-desired sleep.
To activate, go to Settings/Display Settings/Eye Comfort.
Application drawer
Nowadays smartphones are increasingly adopting the philosophy of “less is more”. Gradually, the Apps drawer came out until today it is on the home screen itself. If you still haven't gotten used to it and prefer to have all the applications organized in the drawer where they should be, know that it is possible to activate the old mode both in the most powerful model and in the P30 Lite.
To activate, go to Settings/Home screen and Wallpaper/Home screen style/Show all apps in grid.
hiding the notch
Oh, the notch. Criticized by so many consumers, companies have come up with some solutions to disguise the notch. In both smartphones, there is a drop notch, much smaller than the one initially adopted by the iPhone, but even so, there are those who do not support seeing a hole in the screen. The solution of Huawei adds a slash at the top hiding the notch.
To perform the operation, go to Settings/Display Settings/More Display Settings/Notch.
Developer options
The new smartphones Huawei they are quite fluid and perform Play Store tasks very well. O P30 Pro it comes with a Kirin 980 processor, the world's first manufactured in 7nm, and is the great competitor of the Snapdragon 855, for example. already the P30 Lite brings with it a Kirin 710, which is about the average of the Snapdragon 670. Despite being very fast, it is possible to make them even more instantaneous by enabling the developer options and changing the animation scales. Remembering: using developer options without prior knowledge may result in device malfunction. Follow the instructions below:
- Go to settings/System/About phone and click 5 to 10 times on the Version number until “You are a developer”;
- After becoming a developer, go back to System/Developer Options and change the Window Animation Scale, Transition Animation Scale, and Animator Duration Scale options to 0.5x.
After the change, you should already notice a certain speed in the system. If you prefer to make it slower or in default mode, do the same procedure and change the values to 1.0x.
quick photo
You don't want to miss that spontaneous recording because your smartphone didn't open the camera quickly, with the P30 you can take a super-fast photo just by pressing the Volume down button twice.
multitasking
With such a large screen, multitasking could not be missing. The feature allows you to access two compatible apps at the same time so you don't waste time. To activate, open an app and hold the recent apps key for a few seconds. The apps will be split and can be accessed at the same time. Applications can be resized according to preference.
Best of all, it works with both smartphones.
Simple Mode
The new EMUI is one of the best changes on Android, but there are those who don't get used to so many customization options right away. Therefore, the Huawei added the Simple Mode, which transforms EMUI into a simpler interface, with just the essential apps and large fonts.
To enable Simple Mode on the P30 Lite ou P30 Pro, patch me Settings/System/Simple Mode.
One-handed mode of operation
With a massive 6,47-inch screen on the model P30 Pro and 6,15 in P30 Lite, it is a little complicated to access the entire area of the smartphone with just one hand. Huawei realized this and brought out the One-Handed Operation, which “shrinks” the smartphone screen so that you can move in all areas of the smartphone.
To activate, go to Settings/Smart Assistant/One-handed operation and enable. To enter the mode, slide the Home button to the right side.
gesture navigation
the line screen P30 it's a treat for the eyes, and you're sure to want to use every aspect of the screen without anything getting in the way. Gesture navigation does just that, eliminates the navigation bar and starts using gestures to go back, access recent apps and return to the home screen.
To activate, go to Settings/System/System Navigation and enable gesture navigation.
performance settings
The line P30 It has several configuration modes to optimize smartphone performance. By itself, the normal mode would already handle all the heavy applications and games thanks to the Kirin 980 processor of the P30 Pro, or the Kirin 710 do P30 Lite. But if you prefer, you can enable performance mode to give your phone a boost. Keep in mind that this mode decreases battery life, so there are Power Saver and Ultra Power Saver modes. Unlike the Performance, these two decrease the smartphone's processing, but in return you'll be able to get home or find a closer outlet.
To activate any of the modes, go to Settings/Battery.
Manual screen coloring
Both P30 Lite as much as P30 Pro can have the screen colors modified, in case you prefer warmer or cooler colors. There are some pre-formatted modes such as Vivid, Warm, Cool, Standard or Normal, as well as the possibility to change manually.

Google Assistant with a gesture
O Google Assistant It became even easier to activate. At the P30 Pro, just swipe up from the bottom right or left corner and perform the command.

reverse loading

digital balance
O digital balance helps you track screen consumption. With this, you can understand your consumption with your smartphone and make some restrictions.
