Honor 30 Pro review: A Kirin 990 5G periscope flagship from the Huawei-Honor split year.
Honor's last Huawei-era flagship.
30 Pro was Honor's last truly Huawei flagship — same Kirin 990, RYYB camera DNA, 5× periscope — before the brand sold off and re-launched independently. The Google services gap defines its modern usefulness; for collectors of the era it is a key transitional phone.
