Carlos Fernandez de Lara [1965] 19659022] Su The 6.3-inch screen from one edge to another presents a design curved similar to that of equipment such as the Samsung Galaxy S9 or Note 9. This is an AMOLED Quad HD panel, the screen colors, contrast and brightness are accurate even in very bright environments. The team is HDR 10 certified, making it an excellent candidate for content consumption on streaming platforms such as Netflix, Amazon Prime Video or YouTube.

A small detail that I noticed in the test unit is that even though the equipment comes with the latest generation Gorilla Glbad, daily use could detect slight scratches on the surface of the glbad.

A photo with your fingerprint

If anything catches the attention of the Mate Pro 20: your fingerprint reader is under the glbad. Unlike a sensor that literally reads your fingerprint, it uses the light of the screen to take a kind of photo of your fingerprint. digital and since the OLED panel has the ability to illuminate its pixels individually, the moment the user places his finger on this part of the glbad, it illuminates the patterns of his fingerprint to give or deny access.

Does this work? ? Much better than expected, this is a first-generation technology, but some details are not a sensor, so it takes longer to save the fingerprint. As a result, the fingerprint reading is longer by milliseconds. with the current sensors. But nothing is a technology that generates frustration or disappointment. More than the first to be first, Huawei has taken the time to launch something new that really works.

However, it has two major disadvantages, the first and least annoying is that if the screen is dirty, it is very possible that it does not work very well, even if you do not place your finger well on the area where the lighting vector is. The second and a bit more annoying is that, since the player needs the screen light to work, the phone's battery consumption will invariably be affected because it has to activate more consistently the pixels of this zoned.
Fortunately for those who do not wish to use the fingerprint sensor, Huawei has significantly improved its facial recognition technology, which now uses a three-dimensional face mapping system, which can unlock the fingerprint sensor. equipment in a dimly lit environment.

Camera: three yes are better than two

If there is a reason for the Mate 20 Pro to be your camera. Although Huawei is not the first smartphone equipped with three rear cameras, it is the first in which the company modifies its strategy of using a monochromatic sensor by means of a wide angle sensor. Now the device has a main sensor of 40 megapixels, a wide angle of 20 MP and a telephoto 3x of 8 mp.
The change is more than a hint, the new wide angle allows the phone to take close-up 2.5 cm photos between the camera and the object with a detail that & # 39; 39; no other mobile phone can capture without special lenses.

Similar to a Equipment like the LG G-7, a wide angle captures more open shots, but with a slight distortion in the corners. The optical zoom sensor in 3x mode now incorporates a stabilizer, which makes it possible to capture images with fewer scans, although the big reality is that it is a feature that most users will use little and in dimly lit environments , photographs tend to Some badly recorded items.

Similar to Note 9 and the iPhone XS, the portrait mode also retains a considerable improvement, perhaps the best advantage for a team with multiple rear cameras, even if it continues to surprise smartphones with a single camera like the Pixel. 3 or iPhone XR can create images with blur effects more and more accurate to 100% with software.

Huawei continues to promote its artificial intelligence technology, which in fact has significantly improved, but the end result will depend a lot on tastes. of the user. The advantage, as always, is that the user has the option to disable it at any time.

However In general, the camera offers one of the best mobile photography experiences of the market. The photos retain good colors, the contrast is usually correct and the dynamic range of the images does not tend to be exaggerated. The phone is particularly useful for photographing scenarios, landscapes or people in bright environments. And as with the P20 Pro, the night mode of the new Mate 20 Pro is impressive for capturing dimly lit scenes without so many moving objects.

Troll with elegance

The Mate 20 Pro has a huge battery of 4,200 milliamps, this comes to offer up to almost two days of regular use in the tests performed. The team, however, incorporates two remarkable technologies: the first is that its fast charging system already supports up to 40 watts, which allows the equipment to recharge up to 70% of its battery in 30 minutes (verified during test) and supports wireless fast charge up to 15 watts. The inconvenients? It is that you need the charger and the original cable of the equipment or wireless chargers compatible with the standard.

However, Huawei went further and integrated the first reversible wireless charging system, the phone, into the Mate 20 Pro. has the ability to charge and use an additional battery for any smartphone on the market compatible with the Qi standard, namely Galaxy, iPhone, LG, Pixel or any other compatible product. A function that the same brand presented with a slight mockery to users who own other brands of phones and who suffer from low battery permanently.

The audio, its biggest fault

The phone has a stereo sound but has two big problems The speakers lower and bigger are no longer placed on a grill, but inside the USB port C; so it's easy to cover it with your hand when watching videos, but also when you're connected and watching content or listening to music. The audio quality is not only minor, but it is distorted by the same obstruction generated by the cable.

Its other big problem is that the size of the second speaker, placed directly on the tab with the camera, is smaller and some sounds are not so balanced. This does not mean that the audio is bad for a phone in its clbad, but below equipment such as the iPhone XS Max or even the LG G7.

Conclusion

Is the Mate 20 Pro the smartphone? perfect? No, there is no perfect motive. Is it the iPhone or Galaxy killer? No doubt it will be for many users who are looking for a change or who have the interest of having a phone equipped with new technologies and a camera, but not necessarily for everyone. In general, the Mate 20 Pro is the smartphone with the most technological innovations of the market that a Mexican could acquire at that time and is perhaps the most complete photographic experience to date on smartphone.

Another premium phone is a mobile phone that, by its performance, will cover all the needs of users, whether they are simple or advanced, largely because the new Kirin 980 works in conjunction with the software and team hardware, a path that has allowed brands as Apple to maintain a functional, up-to-date, and equipment-based ecosystem with a longer lifecycle. This is without a doubt one of the best smartphones that were launched in 2018 and a clear sign that Huawei is serious when it says that it wants to make Samsung lose the top spot in global sales.

However, for many, the final decision will still depend on the cost benefits perceived by the consumer over the telephone. What is clear is that Huawei, this time, has several first to show with the Mate 20.
