HUAWEI Mate 20 Pro 128 GB 6.39-Inch 2K FullView Android 9.0 SIM-Free Smartphone with New Leica Triple AI Camera, Single SIM, UK Version - Twilight

Product Information

The display on the Galaxy Note 9 is amazing, and the Mate 20 Pro is right up there alongside it in terms of sharpness, brightness, and vividness. Joining LG and Samsung with the “ more cameras are better” mantra, Huawei now has three cameras on the rear of its flagship. The main camera on the Mate 20 pro has a 40-megapixel sensor, which combines four neighboring pixels into one to deliver 10-megapixel shots with enhanced detail. If you have the phone set to vibrate only, you can only fit the battery, time and vibrate symbol in the right side.

You’ve got the in-display fingerprint sensor, 3D face recognition, a powerful processor, fantastic screen, wireless charging and even the ability to wirelessly charge other devices. CNET praised the design of the P20 Pro, noting that its "Twilight" color finish was reminiscent of when phones "dared to look different" in the early 2000s, but that its glass backing was likely to attract fingerprints. The first number of the IP rating refers to protection against dust, while the second number refers to protection against liquid. I’ve enumerated more of these annoyances in my earlier P20 Pro review, so in lieu of repeating them, I’ll just say that you’ll encounter plenty of these small bits of UI friction with EMUI. That’s a fairly standard flagship spec these days, but it gives you some peace of mind that it can survive a splash.The models feature 3320 and 4000 mAh batteries respectively; the P20 line does not support wireless charging.

Waterproof Build: IP 68 dust and waterproof, the phone can withstand immersion in up to 2 m water for 30 mintues. inch screen Mate 20 X and 8GB RAM and up to 512GB Porsche Edition – offer different performance and form factors if you want a slightly different take on this already-performance-driven smartphone.Huawei is doing some marvelous power optimization work, too, because I can’t do anything to run down this battery quickly. But there were a lot of great handsets this year, so does the Huawei Mate 20 Pro really have them all beat? Without Huawei’s Master AI processing enabled, Huawei’s camera is substantially noisier than either the Pixel or the Note. And if there were any doubt that you’re looking at a top quality screen, it’s also curved, making it eye-catching too. The feature will also turn itself off after a while, so you'll need to keep an eye on it if you're desperately hoping to give more power to a second phone.

It’s worth noting also that the Huawei Mate 20 Pro is IP68-certified, meaning it’s dust proof and water-resistant to up to 1. The ultra-wide lens, equivalent to a 16mm focal length, will come in handy for group photos, landscapes, and when you’re up close to something big and want to capture its entirety.You have been able to do similar via USB-C cable for a while, but back-to-back wireless charging of another phone is certainly a novelty. Huawei’s little gimmick with this generation is that the Mate 20 Pro is capable of reverse wireless charging, so I guess one way to live with the Pixel 3 might be to have the Mate 20 Pro as my (ultra expensive) second phone slash external battery.

But the Mate 20 Pro shows that Huawei learned some quick lessons from the already-beautiful P20 Pro. The other biometric ID system that Huawei adds here — the pressure-sensing fingerprint reader built into the display — also contributes to this space efficiency by removing the need for a discrete space to install a separate scanner.Other top options this year include the Google Pixel 3, the OnePlus 6T, the Samsung Galaxy S9, and Huawei's own P20 Pro. It was one of the first mainstream handsets to have such a scanner and it works well, while also feeling suitably sci-fi.

My only gripe with Huawei’s Mate 20 Pro display are its curved sides, which remind me of the Samsung Galaxy S6 and S7 Edge. The Mate 20 Pro has a more reliable camera, more human dimensions, better performance, faster face unlock, and, in my judgment, a more pleasant display.
