"HUAWEI Mate 30 Pro 5G" carries Huawei Mobile Service to challenge the Japanese 5G market

Softbank Corp. released the 5G commercial service on March 5, which made it clear that the service began on March 27th, and the domestic 5G service finally started, but as a user, what people care about is the existence of 5G compatible terminals. For the domestic market, Sharp and Sony have released terminals, and Samsung will also be ready to support the 5G Galaxy S20 series. Softbank Corp. also has the names ZTE and OPPO online, and the user's choice is surprisingly wider.

Among them, Huawei, which not only aims at the open market, but also supplies a large number of terminals for major mobile phone companies, as the first bomb of domestic 5G compatible terminals, released the "HUAWEI Mate 30 Pro 5G". Since last year, Huawei, led by China, which has already launched 5G services, has launched eight 5G-capable smartphones to countries around the world, with 6.9 million units shipped to the global market in mid-2019 and 10 million units as of January this year.

The launch of the HUAWEI Mate 30 Pro 5G is a model launched to the global market at an event held in Munich, Germany, in September last year, and it is expected that the domestic market will be launched at the beginning of the 5G service in November last year.

However, what is unexpected is that the HUAWEI Mate 30 Pro 5G should be a SIM-free terminal for the domestic open market. Huawei has previously launched a large number of SIM-free terminals for the domestic open market, but because the 5G service needs to adjust the network connected to major mobile phone companies, it was initially regarded as a model for major mobile phone companies and was adopted. However, due to the trade friction between the United States and China in May last year, the US Department of Commerce published a list of entities, resulting in restrictions on transactions with US-related companies, and at one point there would be sales prospects at home.

After that, the models for au and Softbank Corp., led by NTT DoCoMo's "HUAWEI P30 Pro", also began to sell, but this time the model, which was released to the global market after the trading restrictions in May last year, has limited Google's services. HUAWEI nova5T, which was launched domestically in December, is based on models launched globally before May last year, so Google's services can be used, and there has been much concern about what specifications of terminals will be launched in the domestic market after 2020.

The HUAWEI nova 5T is a smartphone that inherits the flagship DNA.

The launch of the HUAWEI Mate 30 Pro 5G replaces "GMS (Google Mobile Service)", which is used to use Google services, and is launched as a "HMS (Huawei Mobile Service)" terminal led by Huawei in China and deployed around the world. Details will be described later, although the platform uses the same Android platform as before, but the applications and services that can be used are very different. That said, the hardware, led by monitors, cameras and chipsets, is a high-end model that can compete head-on with competitors.

The market estimates the price at 128,800 yen (excluding tax). The sale will be conducted at the Yodobashi camera multimedia Akiba/ Meida / Yokohama, the Huawei store in Shinjuku Dongkou store, Huawei Lotte Market store and Huawei PayPay Mall store, and is expected to go on sale in mid-April. In addition, there is also a limited pre-sale of 100 people. Applications will be handed over from March 16 (Monday) to March 25 (Wednesday), March 28 (Saturday) to March 30 (Monday) at the Tokyo Ginza store of Huawei customer Service Center, and April 4 (Saturday) to April 6 (Monday) at the center's Meida store in Osaka.

Please understand that because the 5G network of each company is not in service this time, it will be tried out in the ordinary 4G LTE network.
