The new Mate 20 Pro.Huawei
Huawei
announced its new Mate 20 and Mate 20 Pro at a highly anticipated event in London last week. Much of the enthusiasm for the Mate 20 family of devices can be attributed to Huawei's new Kirin 980 processor – the first 7nm on-chip Android processor and ARM's powerful A76 processor core. After the release of the P20 Pro earlier this year, people were also eager to see what Huawei would do with the next generation of its partnership with Leica. The new Ultra-Luxury

The world famous camera
One of the features available on all Mate 20 devices is the new Leica Triple Camera module. Nicknamed the Matrix Camera, it combines three camera sensors and a flash in a well-ordered square module. This module promises to provide Huawei's next generation of high quality photographs, but it's not the same on all devices. The matrix camera of the Mate 20 is equipped with a sensor and a 16MP 17mm f / 2.2 lens, a 12MP wide angle lens with a focal length of 27mm and a telephoto 8MP f / 2.4 2X with a focal length 52mm. The objectives of the Mate 20 Pro are configured differently. The 27mm focal length lens features a f / 1.8 aperture and a 40MP sensor, the 16mm ultra wide-angle lens with f / 2.2 aperture is equipped with a 20MP sensor and the telephoto lens is a 3X focal length lens increased with a focal length of 80mm aperture f / 2.4. These two camera systems are similar, but one is considerably more powerful and capable than the other. I believe that this difference alone justifies the price difference of 200 euros between the Mate 20 and the Mate 20 Pro, but there are other differences to take into account.
Display and battery capacity
The Mate 20 Pro has a high-resolution curved OLED display, which translates to a smaller screen size and a 5mm narrower body than the Mate 20. This OLED display has a resolution of 3120×1440, while the IPS screen of Mate 20 measures only 2244×1080. . This OLED screen is also what allows the Mate 20 Pro to have a fingerprint sensor under the screen, a feature offered by many other major smartphone manufacturers (

Huawei seems to be positioning the much larger Mate 20 X as a phone or gaming device. At launch, Huawei compared the battery size and screen resolution to the Switch, claiming its superiority. However, Huawei did not explicitly call the Mate 20 X a gaming phone. The Mate 20 X seems to be an enlarged version of the Mate 20 with a larger screen and battery capacity.
Wireless charging
The Mate 20 Pro offers a 15W wireless charge and a 40W wired fast charge, which were missing from previous devices. That being said, the real thrill of the crowd at the launch was the announcement that the wireless charging on the Mate 20 Pro is two way and allows you to charge other wireless devices (like the iPhone d & rsquo; A friend). The Mate 20 has none of these features, which further justifies the price difference between this one and the 20 Pro.
Huawei has also improved the water resistance of Mate 20 Pro to IP68, which places it at the same level as the rest of the industry and helps users feel comfortable. with the fact that their investment of $ 1,000 + is safe in the water. The other interesting thing that Huawei has done is to introduce its own standard SD card, which will allow expandable memory in its Mate 20 devices, as well as a dual SIM card. Dual SIM is still a popular feature in some parts of the world, but Huawei offers users the choice of dual SIM or a single SIM card and a memory card slot for expandable memory.
Performance
In terms of performance, there is no doubt that Huawei was nice with all Mate 20 devices. He gave them the same new Kirin 980 7nm SoC with the new ARM A76 processor cores. However, the Mate 20 Pro comes with higher RAM configurations of 6GB and 8GB, while the Mate 20 comes with 4GB and 6GB depending on the region. The modem is also identical on all devices: an impressive Cat. 21 LTE modem capable of a maximum throughput of 1.4 Gbps. The modem also seems to support most bands in North America, including bands 2, 4, 5, and 12, but does not support the 600 MHz 71 frequency band. modem sound impressive and can lead to very fast performance in the real world, its operation on networks remains to be seen. Uncertainty about actual performance will sadly weigh on Huawei for a while, given its history of benchmarks (although OPPO was caught doing the same thing). Huawei has made statements of performance improvement, but I will keep them until I can test the device myself.
Design
In addition to the four available colors of the Mate 20 and Mate 20 Pro, Huawei once again appealed to the design geniuses of Porsche Design to create its own Mate 20 design, the Mate 20 RS. This device has the same specifications as the Mate 20 Pro, but uses high-end materials like real leather and glass, and comes in red and black color options. It goes for a higher price (the basic model will sell for more than 1695 euros), but some may find it worth it. Personally, I'm grateful to Huawei for bringing back his Twilight color scheme, which changes from black to blue to purple on the back of the camera.
Conclusion
The Mate 20, and more particularly the Mate 20 Pro, is the dream device of any smartphone enthusiast. On paper, Huawei built a monster. With an OLED screen, 3D scanning, ARCore, fingerprints on the screen, an amazing camera, a huge battery, a two-way wireless charging and the latest versions of Android 9 and IP68, this phone fulfills all the criteria that amateurs obsessed with specifications could hope for. . The real question is whether the changes to Huawei's EMUI 9 will make the user interface more user-friendly and allow the user to get the most out of hardware capabilities. For all the years I've been covering smartphones, I do not think I've ever seen so many technologies in one device. The Mate 20 Pro seems to be the flagship phone Huawei has been working on for years. Although the price of the Mate 20 Pro is over € 1,000, so are the flagship products of many competitors – and they do not have all the features of the Mate 20 Pro. I will have to spend a lot of time with the Mate 20 Pro before making evaluations, but this device looks very promising. After that, Huawei could finally get the respect that the # 2 smartphone maker in the world deserves.
