The purchase of a new smartphone is sometimes difficult, and you have arguments for or against in the field of hardware and software. I'm testing the Mate 20 Pro for an exam and in this article I'm already discussing some things you need to know if the device interests you.
1. Fingerprint Scanner and Unlocking Face
One of the important features of the Huawi Mate 20 Pro compared to the classic Mate 20 is the fingerprint scanner placed under the screen. This is an optical sensor. Part of the AMOLED screen of the device turns on and you have to put your finger on it. Then you get a scan of your finger. It actually works the same way as a CMOS camera sensor.
In practice, I found that while the technology is interesting, a regular scanner at the back works faster. You can not physically feel with your finger where to place it, you need to put more pressure than with a conventional scanner and scanning itself takes a little longer.
Still, this is not necessary because the Huawei Mate 20 Pro also has another unlocking method that works so well that it is literally too fast, 3D Face Unlock. As you can read in the article on the announcement, the notch is equipped with a technology that allows you to unlock your phone at the speed of light and under any circumstances. I notice that the phone has already been unlocked before you can put your finger on the scanner. You do not like unlocking the face? Then know that the normal Mate 20 has a scanner in the back.

4. MicroSD
If a storage capacity of 128 GB is not enough, you can expand the phone, but you can not do it with the conventional microSDs that you could use in your phones now.Hawei has developed a new form of memory card, Nano memory card (NM). Thanks to Nano Memory, the company could save space inside the phone by omitting a relatively large microSD slot
NM is about the size of a nanosim and, at the back of the usual nanosim lock, is also a notch for NM cards. Huawei does not have a second. Finally, it is not yet known in what size NM storage is available or how much will cost memory cards. Huawei has announced its intention to make NM a true standard in the future, and that other manufacturers use it n. How will this happen remains to be seen.
5. Digital Scale
We are all familiar with Google's Digital Wellbeing. It is an application and part of the settings of Pixel and Android One phones where you get an overview of the daily use of your smartphone. You can also adjust the settings so that your eyes rest by activating the gray levels of your device from a certain time.
The Huawei Mate 20 Pro is of course not an Android One phone, but it runs under the latest version of Huawei's EMUI Shell, EMUI 9. In the settings of your phone, Huawei has its own version Digital Wellbeing called "Digital Scale". This function has almost the same function because it indicates the daily use of your smartphone on the basis of a graph. You can also set limits on your use or certain applications and enable gray levels at a specific time. You will not be able to see the number of notifications you receive each day, and you can not configure Do Not Disturb or Manage Notifications.
