The launch of the Huawei Mate 30 Pro has drawn a lot of attention with a bunch of new features but its 88-degree curved edge is what really has our attention.
I believe many people will start to ask 2 common questions. How easy is it to accidentally touch the wrong place on this ultra-curved edge and is the adoption of the curved edge screen merely to make it look cool? Let us do a test and find out!
Test: Will the 88-degree curved edges trigger accidental touches?
The Huawei Mate 30 Pro features a 6.53-inch Horizon Display with 88-degree curved edges. I think most of us agree that curved displays look sophisticated, but do they offer practical benefits over ones without them? How likely is it to accidentally touch the curved edges?
I am equally curious about that. Let’s find out if curved edges are prone to accidental touches!
When we tried sliding the screen up and down, surprisingly there’s no accidental touches. We then tried tapping on the screen, it didn’t accidentally trigger to a touch either. Even the most common accidental palm touch issue is nowhere to be seen.
Tapping on the screen didn’t accidentally trigger a touch
It worked perfectly fine when sliding the screen
No accidental touches while holding the phone
Honestly, this is totally beyond our expectation. I am sure a great amount of effort has been made to ensure that the curved edge is not giving any accidental touches. So, don’t worry about that!
Curved display looks absolutely gorgeous AND is feature-packed
To offer a seamless viewing experience with the 88 degree curved edge, the Mate 30 Pro has ditched the physical volume rocker and replaced it with virtual buttons for volume instead. You can just double-tap on the edge of the phone to adjust the volume which is accompanied by a linear motor vibration feedback. I am lovin’ it!

Comes with a built-in console game controller
Apart from that, the 88-degree ultra-curved display also turns your Mate 30 Pro into a console game controller. While you can easly buy a console-like game controller to enhance your gaming experience, the process of setting up and unplugging may be troublesome, not to mention it may scratch the phone screen.
The Huawei Mate 30 Pro’s display supports virtual touch interaction that replaces the requirement for a game controller. It allows quick and easy action of four finger controls that gives you a stimulating gaming experience. Activate it with the simple steps below to enjoy console gaming experience!
Very much like a console game controller
