Long live the king
Huawei turned out to be a smartphone that manages to stand out even by the standards of technologically sophisticated flagships.
Externally, the Mate 20 Pro is a rather attractive smartphone with a large full-view screen that takes up almost the entire front. At the top, there is a rather large cut-out bang, in which the front camera and sensors of the face recognition system are hidden. If the bangs are not to your liking, then you can hide it in the system settings. Then the top panel is slightly compacted, giving the smartphone pleasing to the eye symmetrical proportions.
Spectacular gradient coloring
But the back panel made of impact-resistant glass with several layers of lamination and a matte finish stands out great. The gradient effectively shimmers in the light, creating the illusion of different colours, and in the very centre there is a square camera unit with three modules and a flash.
Camera Phone of the Year
And here the interesting begins. The optics for each of the modules was created under the wing of the eminent photographic brand Leica, and the camera itself is controlled by a brand new Kirin 980 processor with advanced artificial intelligence (AI). It helps to automatically recognize the scene, adjust the brightness with white balance, adjust the depth of field or adapt the camera settings for shooting at night. As a result — a record 109 points in the authoritative DxOMark rating and the unofficial title of "camera phone of the year".
smart processor
In addition to the camera, the AI processor helps in other aspects. For example, it optimizes the working power of the smartphone depending on the current tasks, so as not to waste battery power in vain.
The Mate 20 Pro features a 6.4-inch OLED display with WQHD+ resolution (3120x1440 pixels). The screen has excellent viewing angles, colour reproduction and calibration. The screen itself is rounded at the edges (reminiscent of the Samsung Galaxy S9), creating the illusion of the absence of side frames.
Ahead of the whole planet
We don’t know if the engineers were faced with the task of creating the most advanced smartphone on the market, but they obviously did their best here. The Mate 20 Pro has the latest Bluetooth with aptX HD codec support, Wi-Fi with MIMO, VoLTE, IP68 dust and water resistance, advanced 3D Depth Sensing Camera, in-display fingerprint scanner, Android 9 version and Huawei Power Up wireless charging.
The ability to distribute a charge to other smartphones
Moreover, the latter allows you to turn the Mate 20 Pro into the most expensive power bank in history and distribute smartphone charge to other gadgets. Fortunately, good system optimization, an energy-efficient processor with a screen and a 4200 mAh battery allow you to share energy without looking at the outlet. For comparison, most fall 2018 flagships have a capacity reserve of 3000-3400 mAh.
