Huawei P30 Pro gets DC Dimming, reduced Bluetooth latency and more


Smartphone camera

Huawei P30 Pro has received a new software update that includes several new features, some of which are quite interesting. The rollout of EMUI 9.1.0.178 has started and will reach all devices within a few days.

While the Huawei-ban issue continues to hold sway, the Chinese manufacturer once again updates its latest flagship. One of the most important novelties is undoubtedly the arrival of the DC Dimming function, anticipated at the end of May and already seen on other recent models.

At low brightness, the LEDs used as the backlight for the AMOLED panel pulsate instead of glowing continuously. While the pulsation is not easily apparent, it causes strain on the eyes, especially while using the smartphone in low light. The DC Dimming feature fixes this by regulating DC current. Once updated, it will be possible to activate it in the system settings.

The changelog of the EMUI 9.1.0.178 for Huawei P30 Pro is however quite rich and includes the following:

  • This update adds the DC dimming mode, preventing screen flickering.
