Huawei Mate 20 Pro: Huawei’s Back With Another Excellent Pro Smartphone

The last time the world witnessed a Pro flagship smartphone from Huawei, the camera units of smartphones received a new lease of life. I’m referring to none other than the Huawei P20 Pro, the world’s first smartphone with triple rear shooters. Huawei has taken one step further by presenting the Huawei Mate 20 Pro.

OEMs such as LG and Samsung followed Huawei’s footsteps by launching LG V40 ThinQ and Samsung Galaxy A7 (2018), both bagging triple rear lenses. These smartphones have been in the market weeks before Huawei announced its latest flagship phones.

Back to the matter, Huawei Mate 20 Pro sports two amazing new technologies – the new SuperCharge tech and the Reverse Wireless Charging. The impact of the SuperCharge tech is that it can charge the phone’s juice to 70% in 30 minutes. Reverse Wireless charging means it can serve as the charging mat to charge other smartphones that support Wireless charging.

Without further ado, let’s peruse the stunning Huawei Mate 20 Pro.

Huawei Mate 20 Pro Quick Review

The Mate series usually sport bigger screen than the Huawei P flagship series. This Mate 20 Pro is no way disobeying the law. Mate 20 Pro features a large 6.39-inch curved OLED (AMOLED) screen with 1440p resolution. Other fine features of its display include the DCI-P3, HDR10 and 19.5:9 aspect ratio.

Moving away from the display to the general appearance, Corning Gorilla Glass wraps its aluminium-framed body both at the front and the rear. Unlike the Mate 20, the Mate 20 Pro has a bigger notch to accommodate more features.

In this notch, there’s the 24MP selfie camera with f/2.0 lens as well as a 3D face scanner. As a matter of fact, the smartphone lacks any visible fingerprint scanner on the hardware because it’s an in-display fingerprint sensor.

Back to the camera sector again, the rear unit of this smartphone bags the highly anticipated triple camera setup. The primary shooter in this arrangement is the 40MP Quad Bayer sensor possessing f/1.8 aperture and PDAF/Laser AF. A 20MP lens with f/2.2 aperture serves as the secondary camera while an 8MP telephoto shooter is the third in the arrangement.

Additionally, the phone is graced with AI support thanks to the 7nm Kirin 980 chipset. The AI enablement gives the phone the capacity to detect similar videos and extract portions of them to make a 10-seconds reel.

Finally, it has to be noted that this smartphone’s 4,200mAh battery can be charged wirelessly due to Qi Wireless fast charging technology present on it.
