In Bangladesh, the Huawei P30 Pro and Apple iPhone 11 Pro are now sold mainly through the grey market. Official sales have slowed significantly. The Huawei P30 Pro had an official price of ৳89,999 for the 8GB 256GB variant, but official units are now very rare. The same 8GB 256GB model sells unofficially for around ৳57,000, depending on condition.

The Apple iPhone 11 Pro launched with official prices of ৳1,19,999 for the 6GB 64GB version, ৳1,39,999 for 6GB 256GB, and ৳1,59,999 for 6GB 512GB. In the grey market, prices vary by storage and SIM type, ranging from ৳88,000 for the 4GB 64GB single SIM model to around ৳1,60,000 for the 6GB 512GB variant.

Official iPhone units cost more due to warranty coverage. An official warranty often adds around 10 percent to the price. Grey-market prices change weekly based on dollar rate and stock. Some shops offer 6 to 12 month EMI options for iPhones. Trade-in deals can save BDT 3,000 to 6,000. Prices often drop during Eid and year-end sales. Buyers can also consider the Samsung Galaxy S20 FE, Google Pixel 5, or iPhone XS in the same range.

After long use, the iPhone 11 Pro feels more stable than the Huawei P30 Pro. The A13 chip keeps frame rates steady during long gaming sessions. Heat control is better, and touch response stays smooth. Games also load faster on the iPhone. The Huawei P30 Pro feels quick for daily use, but heat builds up sooner in games. Long sessions cause clear frame drops.

In Bangladesh, both the Huawei P30 Pro and Apple iPhone 11 Pro support all major mobile networks without issues. The Huawei P30 Pro works on GSM, HSPA, and LTE networks. It supports all common 2G, 3G, and key 4G LTE bands used by Grameenphone, Robi, Banglalink, and Teletalk. Dual SIM support is available on select Huawei models, which is useful for local users. LTE speeds are strong, and call quality remains reliable in cities and nearby areas.

The Apple iPhone 11 Pro also supports GSM, HSPA, and LTE, with added CDMA support on some variants. It covers a wide range of 4G LTE bands and works well with Bangladeshi carriers. From real-world use, network stability feels slightly better on the iPhone in weak signal areas. Data speeds are faster, and call drops are less frequent. Both phones support GPRS and EDGE. Neither phone supports 5G, which is not a major concern in Bangladesh yet.

From daily use and side by side shooting, the camera gap shows in zoom, night photos, and video quality.

Main Camera Wide Detail and Processing

The Huawei P30 Pro uses a 40 MP main camera. The iPhone 11 Pro uses a 12 MP sensor. Huawei photos look sharper when you crop or zoom. Fine details like signs, leaves, and text stay clearer. The iPhone focuses on balanced light and natural colors.

Low Light and Night Photography

Huawei takes brighter night photos with more visible detail. Dark streets and indoor shots look clearer. The iPhone produces darker images with more noise. It needs steadier hands at night.

Telephoto and Zoom

This is Huawei’s biggest win. The P30 Pro offers true 5x optical zoom. Distant subjects stay sharp. The iPhone 11 Pro stops at 2x optical zoom. Digital zoom reduces detail fast.

Ultra Wide Performance

Both phones include ultra wide cameras. The iPhone keeps colors more even across lenses. Huawei ultra wide shots look softer, mainly in low light.

Video Performance

The iPhone 11 Pro leads in video. It records stable 4K video at up to 60fps. Focus and sound are better. Huawei video looks fine in daylight but struggles at night.

Selfie Camera

Huawei’s 32 MP selfie camera captures sharper photos. The iPhone’s 12 MP selfie camera looks more natural. It also records higher quality video.

Color and Dynamic Range

The iPhone handles skin tones and bright areas better. Huawei images look more vivid and sometimes too bright.

Winner

Huawei P30 Pro: Better for zoom, night photos, and detailed still images.
Apple iPhone 11 Pro: Better for video, color balance, and camera consistency.

Huawei P30 Pro & Apple iPhone 11 Pro both phones use OLED displays, but they feel different in daily use.

Size, Sharpness, and Comfort

The Huawei P30 Pro has a larger 6.47 inch screen. It feels better for videos and reading. The iPhone 11 Pro uses a smaller 5.8 inch display. It feels sharper due to higher pixel density.

Color and Brightness

Huawei’s display looks more vivid and punchy. Colors pop more, which suits media and games. The iPhone aims for natural colors. Photos and skin tones look more accurate. Outdoors, both screens stay readable, but the iPhone handles brightness more evenly.

Viewing and Touch Experience

The iPhone display feels more consistent at different angles. Touch response feels slightly more precise, especially in games. Huawei’s curved edges look stylish but can cause accidental touches.

Eye Comfort and Long Use

The iPhone feels easier on the eyes during long use. Huawei’s brighter colors can feel tiring over time.

Winner

Huawei P30 Pro: Better for big screen lovers and media viewing.
Apple iPhone 11 Pro: Better for color accuracy, comfort, and daily usability.

If you are a mobile photographer who values zoom and night shots, the Huawei P30 Pro still feels impressive even today. Battery-focused users will also appreciate its endurance. Gamers and long-term users should lean toward the iPhone 11 Pro for smoother performance, reliable updates, and stronger app compatibility in Bangladesh. Budget-conscious buyers may find Huawei more attractive, while resale-conscious buyers should choose Apple.

After testing both devices extensively, here’s my verdict: the iPhone 11 Pro is the better all-round choice for Bangladeshi users seeking stability, gaming performance, and long-term reliability. The Huawei P30 Pro still impresses with photography and battery life, but software limitations hold it back. Choose Huawei for camera value, choose Apple for dependable everyday use.
