CONS

  1. No Global Availability: Primarily released in China, making it difficult to purchase elsewhere (released as V30 Pro in some markets).
  2. No Expandable Storage: Lacks a microSD card slot for additional storage.
  3. Plastic Frame Construction: Uses a plastic frame rather than metal, which reduces premium feel.
  4. No 3.5mm Headphone Jack: Lacks a standard headphone socket, requiring USB-C or Bluetooth.
  5. Average Software Bloatware: Comes with OriginOS, which may have pre-installed apps.
  6. No Wireless Charging: Lacks wireless charging support common in similar flagship-tier phones.
  7. No Official IP68 Rating: Only rated IP54, providing basic splash/dust resistance rather than full water protection.
  8. Single Speaker: User feedback highlights the lack of full, high-quality stereo speakers.
  9. Curved Screen Dislike: The heavily curved AMOLED panel is not preferred by all users.
