The Huawei P30 and P30 Pro solve a lot of problems that smartphones typically have. They can't zoom. They can't take good photos in low light. They don't last more than a day. The P30 Pro removes all of those problems, and tacks on some gorgeous design besides. Our reviewer David Imel (and a flock of birds) break it all down for you from sunny Morocco!

The Huawei P30 Pro is out and it's bringing 5x optical zoom with a new periscope style camera. It's an awesome new innovation in smartphone camera tech, and Adam, Joe, and Jonathan are a little in love with it. But can it beat the 2019 flagship king, the Galaxy S10 Plus? Don't be so sure. Oppo has a weird, but cool looking popup selfie concept coming, and Razer may yet make a third generation of its phone, but not just yet.

Adam, Joe and Jonathan get into a long discussion about Google's cloud-based gaming platform, Stadia. There's a ton to digest there, and they dig deep into the details. Plus, we look back at WearOS and wonder why a five-year old platform still has so many bugs. And ZTE is gunning for the craziest phone design of the year with two solid entries!

Never underestimate the amount of news that can pour out of one trade show. Now that we've finished our MWC 2019 podcast, we catch you up with news from outside of Barcelona. Motorola's folding phone is coming soon as are physical Google Assistant buttons. Speaking of Google, we suspect we'll see the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL Lite sooner rather than later.

Going to MWC can be quite overwhelming, but fortunately, our crack team on the ground kept the content coming, giving Adam, Jonathan, and Joe plenty to talk about. We start off by talking about the most ridiculously awesome device that was at the show, and it didn't come from Huawei or Nokia. Even so, we talked about the Huawei Mate X and the Nokia Pureview 9.
