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

At the time of writing the Huawei Mate 20 Pro is probably the most powerful Android phone available, thanks to its octa-core Kirin 980 chipset.

EMUI offers the option of using two forms of the same app (WhatsApp, Facebook), one for each SIM card. This is accompanied by improvements to Huawei's artificial intelligence object recognition system, which can now distinguish between multiple types of subjects in a scene to selectively apply enhancements (rather than only applying one to the entire photo) and can recognize 1,500 possible scenarios (a three-fold increase over the P20's similar system). such as 2014's P7 were entirely forgettable, but the company has upped its game with subsequent launches and is now the second-biggest phone manufacturer in the world. In theory, this makes it easier to unlock your phone while it’s resting flat than using a back-mounted fingerprint button or facial recognition.Most noticeably, the Mate 20 Pro doesn’t have that huge “chin” at the bottom, thanks to shedding the traditional fingerprint sensor – it’s actually integrated in the display now, which is a trend we’ll be seeing a lot more of soon (including in the OnePlus 6T). I’m really not sure whether these downsides overwhelm the upside of the Kirin 980 processor’s quickness and efficiency. Currently, I think Huawei’s rear camera system is good and competitive, however, it doesn’t blow me away the same way that the Pixel camera does. That’s a fairly standard flagship spec these days, but it gives you some peace of mind that it can survive a splash.

The P20 Pro’s camera setup is what set it apart from the rest of the flagship class earlier this year, elevating it to the top of the pile.The Pixel 3 made a few nice improvements over the already outstanding Pixel 2 camera, whereas I’m not entirely certain the Mate 20 Pro camera has improved much on the P20 Pro. But if you’d rather unlock the phone with your face you can do that too, with its 3D face unlock feature.

However, it was argued that the automatic enhancement mode often resulted in oversaturated and unnatural-looking photos.

A full charge took under an hour via cable with the included 40W charger, hitting 30% in 13 minutes.Granted, a proprietary format is likely to cost more than a standard microSD card, as you’ll find used in many other phones… but it is smaller than microSD.

While there’s not too much content that makes full use of this resolution – and, sadly, there’s no out-of-the-box option to split the screen between two windows – it’s still a sharp and vibrant display. In Pixel terms, Huawei’s new phone has the width of the smaller Pixel 3 and the height of the larger Pixel 3 XL, so if you’ve found neither of those two quite ideal, this phone represents a happy medium. This means that you could potentially charge up your friend's ailing iPhone or give your wireless buds a boost. A little fingerprint icon lights up when the screen's locked to tell you where to place your pawprint. Waterproof Build: IP 68 dust and waterproof, the phone can withstand immersion in up to 2 m water for 30 mintues.

The Quad-HD resolution (3120 x 1440), which yields a pixel density of 538 ppi, provides a sharp, clear viewing experience. The cameras are supported by AI-assisted shooting, which recognises typical scenarios and adjusts settings according. The brand developed nano storage (45% smaller than microSD) so that the card could fit in the second nano-SIM slot of the phone. This year has seen LG and HTC extend their fade from relevance, and the American consumer is increasingly picking between the Apple or Samsung flavor of flagship smartphone, with Google’s Pixels and maybe OnePlus devices showing up as outsider choices.
