On the hunt for Huawei P30 deals in 2020? It’s not surprising considering expectations were positively blown away by the device last year.

The P30 set of phones are easy to love, but a little harder to stomach if you follow the blacklisting drama that has been following the Chinese tech giant for the past few months.

If you’re not put off by the apparent difficulties in the market, the Huawei P30 really is a marvel in smartphone technology, with the best camera phone available, and a processor to challenge Apple’s speed-king crown.

Compare the best Huawei P30 deals using our list below, or use PCMag's P30 comparison tool.

Best Huawei P30 Pro Contract Deals

Huawei P30 Pro

The P30 Pro is an absolute machine and the probably best phone Huawei has ever produced. The level of detail the camera can obtain is astounding, and it’s no wonder Huawei are pushing it as the main selling point of the P30 Pro.

Both the P30 and P30 Pro have advanced triple lenses on the back with an in-screen fingerprint scanner. This alongside the practically infinite screens makes the P30 models very attractive smartphone options.

Best Huawei P30 Contract Deals

 

The younger sibling to the more robust P30 Pro, the P30 still has all of the brilliant features of it's big brother, including the signature 30x zoom and huge battery life, and at a lower cost. If you don't mind the cut features, such as no wireless charging, or water resistance (instead of water-proof), the P30 is a great phone to consider.

  • Three: £43 p/m, unlimited data and minutes, unlimited texts, £154 upfront - Get the deal here

Best Huawei P30 Lite Deals


If the P30 and P30 Pro are a little too pricey then you could consider getting the P30 Lite, which is a lot more affordable. You still get an amazing camera with three lenses, but you won’t pack the same big battery and in-screen fingerprint like the P30 and P30 Pro.

It may not sport the same high-specs as its bigger brothers, but the P30 Lite is unbelievably good value for money and can be picked up on dirt cheap per monthly contracts.

  • O2: £31 p/m, 20GB data, unlimited minutes and texts - FREE upfront, £270 cashback - Get the deal here

Can I keep my mobile phone number when I change contracts?


It’s incredibly easy to switch your phone number over to a new device. All you need is a PAC (Porting Authorisation Code) from your old network.

Recent regulations from Ofcom now mean you can switch providers without having to call up your old network!

All it takes is one text, here are the relevant steps:

  1. If you want to switch and keep your existing phone number text "PAC" to 65075 to begin the process
  2. Your existing provider will respond by text within a minute
  3. You will then receive the switching code (PAC), which will be valid for 30 days
  4. All provider's reply must also include important information about any early termination charges or pay-as-you-go credit balances
  5. Your PAC code can be handed to new provider, and the company must arrange for the switch to complete within one working day
  6. One in six people want to keep their mobile number when they switch. For those who don't, you can text "STAC" to 75075 to request a "service termination authorisation code"

My Experience

I’ve been freelancing as a tech journalist for several years now, after long wanting to write about my passion for video games. I have bylines on Kotaku and other sites, but PCMag is where you can find most of my musings on gaming, its culture, and where the industry is going next. I also test online services for both businesses and individuals. If you’re interested in hearing me talk about entertainment, film, and TV, you can check out my Patreon and Substack, both under the name “Robby Knows.”

The Technology I Use 

Most of the tech I use every day is within the Apple ecosystem. Currently, I rely on a 2025 MacBook Air for computing and dabble in art projects on my 6th-generation iPad Mini. I don't go anywhere without my AirPods Pro 2 in my pocket. 

As an avid gamer, you better believe that I always have a controller in my hands if I’m not watching movies or TV. I use my PS5 and Switch 2 equally, depending on what’s the hot new release, and am always trying to find interesting ways to tinker with my Steam Deck.  

Given the current state of social media and technology, I find myself going more analog to escape the noise. I have a modest collection of watches, both automatic and digital, to free myself from the pings and notifications of the modern world. I also put my phone in a ySky lockbox for 12 hours every night to reduce my screen time. I spent a lot of the past year trying to read good books rather than scroll through feeds.
