P30/Pro is the closest best experience of GMS from Huawei now. Later model Mate 30 or P40 series end up with HMS, even tho workaround for GMS is there, but there's no promise it will keep working in future.
If you're not tech savvy, stick to P30 series is enough.
I believe the discount era for P30 series already ended, most shop that want to clear up old P30 phone already did that few months ago.
Like Digi did the 2x P30 for 2 years contract for only RM480/year around end of last year to early of this year period.
So now, there's more demand on P30 even after P40 launched, making the price stay where they are.
And for Honor's which carry similar or higher spec internally, but they don't have Leica trademark. I'm not sure if the camera perform similar or not.

IMO, if P30 still entitle for 2 years extended warranty, you should get new one, if not, get second hand also not a bad idea.

I don't think so for any official retail shop or telco plan. Unless there are some dealers need to clear the stock but not wish to cut the prize, then they might taking these free gift as reason they stick the prize of it.

Ah, that explains the price being stagnant..  I'm looking for new for worry free experience  if buy from Shopee, is the 2 years warranty extended also?
True with the GMS, I'm also worried.. thx for advise
ok thanks, will just wait and see 

About the 2 years extended warranty I can't say coz I already activated warranty end of last year when the promotion period. Right after I activated the warranty, Huawei extend the promotion another few months. Now I'm not sure still entitle for the promotion or not. Maybe you can ask seller directly.

Hi guys, I'm deciding between P30 vs P30 pro.
Am currently using Nova2i but only for 2 yrs + the battery kinda weak and requires constant charging, sometimes the phone goes crazy and it auto presses. Not sure if a factory reset helps or should I get a new phone?

Trying to limit budget, but at the same time I realised when I used a not "flagship" phone, it only last a while. Like alang2, might as well get a better one and hope it lasts longer. any opinions?

Also, I would like to clarify that P30 Pro, Mate 30, Mate 30 Pro at the moment has no GMS support right?

I checked shopee no major discounts for P30 series, closest I found is RM1865 for P30 (earlier this year @ RM1749 but I held back because it wasn't necessary to spend yet until now my phone starts to act up) RM2299 for mate 30

So in fact prices went up for P30 haha, still worth getting or wait until it drop further from new releases?

correct me if I'm wrong the Nova7i/Honor has closest spec to P30, and I see the value is there, just my doubts on getting the "subsidiary" instead of the main remains

u can check your warranty from support app (by huawei). it will tell the warranty period

I have been monitoring the price of p30/p30 pro for quite some times now and price for p30 actually went higher since Huawei announced P30 pro price dropped. So sad i thought can get p30 for 1.5k lol.

Anyone got 10.1 on P30 phone?

P30 Pro, I have to use Support app to get it. Have you try this way?

finally...p30 get 10.1 update. Updating now

P30 (non Pro) got flat screen and stereo speaker or not?

Thought of getting my wife upgrade it to the last official Google supported Huawei flagship phone from P20 Pro.

flat screen ✅
stereo ✅

Oh so is stereo. nice. so only the Pro variant is no stereo right?

about the flatscreen is full flat right? no those 2.5D curved correct?
