Huawei P30 Pro packs a Kirin 980 chipset along with 8GB RAM which is the company’s best offering for their smartphone in the market right now and when it comes to gaming, the Kirin 980 doesn’t disappoint as a lot of games are optimized on this processor. Wanna see how this one performs on the Huawei P30 Pro? Check out our gaming test of the smartphone below.

In NBA we set the graphics settings at ultra high and we only experienced frame drops to 44fps during transitions which doesn’t affect the experience of the game and unlike other smartphones in the midrange segment, the Huawei P30 Pro manage to have a decent and constant 60fps in the game. 

Playing PUBG Mobile on the Huawei P30 Pro is a breeze too. We’ve proven that on the Huawei P20 Pro before and the Huawei P30 Pro doesn’t fail to impress us. We’ve managed to set it at HDR graphics with ultra framerates and our overall experience with the game is smooth. Hopefully, PUBG Mobile can set the FPS cap even higher in their future updates. 

Now this is where it gets a little bit challenging for the Huawei P30 Pro. The Kirin 980 processor might be powerful but Talion is a graphics-hungry game and the game proved us that Unity can run on mobile devices and it will be beautiful.

As you can see in the graph, the Huawei P30 Pro managed to get a fluctuating fps due to the intense and really heavy graphics and animations on the game. Nonetheless, the Huawei P30 Pro managed to get a minimum of 26fps which is still playable despite setting it at superior settings. Still excellent for me.
