HUAWEI MATE 20 PRO: THE NEW KING OF THE HIGH-END HAS ARRIVED
The leadership in the high-end world of the new iPhone XS has not lasted long, or that is clear from everything we met yesterday in London at the hands of Huawei. In an event with quite a lot of influx, the Chinese firm wanted to show the world its new renowned phone, and managed to surprise thanks to its most iconic new creation, the Huawei Mate 20 PRO.
BREAKING THE MOLD WITH NOVELTIES THAT STAND OUT
This is how the new Mate 20 Pro arrived, breaking the mold with everything new that Huawei’s friends have been preparing in recent months. A phone that has managed to far exceed the already beautiful P20 Pro and that stands out for a multitude of novelties, some of them quite striking as we can see below.
Remember that if you wish, you can also know all the details of the Huawei Mate 20 , the little brother, but no less attractive for that.
A NEW PROCESSOR TO BREAK ALL RECORDS
Just a few weeks ago, Apple achieved the achievement of being the first manufacturer to mount a 7-nanometer processor in a smartphone. These types of processors boost performance, drastically reduce consumption and improve the efficiency applied to artificial intelligence. Huawei also already has its new 7-nanometer processor , the Kirin 980, and it has little comparison with the previous generation.
According to Huawei, the Kirin 980 is capable of raising the overall efficiency of the processor by more than 120% . Now, in addition to a new reduced structure, it includes two neural processing engines, the well-known Huawei NPUs that ensure an impressive improvement in every way. For all this it should be clear to us that we are not facing another processor, we are facing an evolutionary leap of considerable dimensions.
In this model we will constantly find differentiating details that make it a weirdo, modern and with a great desire to advance in terms of new technologies. The first detail, beyond the processor itself, is found in its system to expand memory, where Huawei launches its own system of expansion cards for the first time, which improve transfer speeds up to 90 MB per second. Are they worth it? ? We will have to check it, but for now this penalizes the user who will not be able to use the usual standard model. Inside we will have 6 GB of RAM and 128 of internal memory.
A RENEWED DESIGN THAT REMINDS US A LOT OF SAMSUNG
With the nuances of a phone with its own essence, the Huawei Mate 20 PRO inspires its design in the Samsung ecosystem with screens and rears with curved edges. A detail that suits you especially well and that is a sure bet for aesthetic success .
The back has a composition of glass and aluminum that enjoy an anti-fingerprint treatment. With this, a problem typical of glass, extreme dirt, is eliminated or significantly limited.
If you are going to meet the new Mate 20 Pro for something, it is because of its rear camera body. This has a unique aesthetic, its own, and that has nothing to do with what has been seen to date. Its three lenses and its flash are located on a square black island in the center of the device. This gives it its own personality and quickly recognizable.
On the front we have an impressive 6.39-inch OLED screen with QHD + resolution that looks very good, meeting the requirements for a model of this level. It may not be up to par with the panels put together by Samsung or Apple, but you won’t miss them.
Shake Effect XMLA GROUNDBREAKING BATTERY THAT IS CAPABLE OF GIVING AND RECEIVING
That the battery segment is something well controlled at Huawei is nothing new. They already did it masterfully in the P20 and now they are greatly exceeded in this Huawei Mate 20 Pro.
The new unit is capable of storing 4,200 mAh physically via USB Type C and thanks to its glass body, you can also do it wirelessly. So far so good, but no news. The difference comes thanks to the new system implemented by Huawei, in which the Mate 20 Pro will be able to give and receive energy . That is, we can charge other wireless devices using the Mate 20 PRO as a charging base. FLIP!
One of the most positive aspects is that we will be able to charge the vast majority of existing devices, iPhone, Samsung, Xiaomi, all without distinction will be able to receive energy from a Mate 20 Pro. To this we must add our own fast charging system that is possibly the fastest on the market so far.
A POOR SOUND THAT NEEDS TO IMPROVE IN THE FUTURE
One of the strangest and most extravagant points of the Huawei Mate 20 Pro is found in its lower speaker. This has been installed inside the hole reserved for USB Type C charging and therefore the lower output typical of all smartphones for sound is eliminated.
Not all novelties should be praised, and this is one of them. The sound loses power , it needs extra strength and when we put the charging port, this problem increases. The need for interior space could have motivated this change, but for now it needs to improve a lot and is far from a phone with this price.
EMUI: A CHINA IN THE SHOE FOR THIS HUAWEI MATE 20 PRO
Not everything was going to be perfect in this Huawei Mate 20 PRO and that piece that does not quite fit in the Chinese puzzle is called EMUI. In case you still don’t know it, EMUI is the customization layer that Huawei places on Android to deliver its own features and design.
Unlike other systems that evolve at a fantastic speed, such as Xiaomi’s MIUI, EMUI penalizes the use of the phone. Small jerks, poorly refined interface, many details that cloud the impressive power and fluidity of this new device. In addition, the multiple pre-installed applications do not help to have a stock experience on the phone and we miss new features that other manufacturers have had for a long time. Huawei, get your batteries!
One of the most positive aspects of this layer is the possibility of sharing our desktop with the television screen without cables and without extra elements, as if it happens in the Samsung Galaxy Note 9, a terminal with which it directly competes .
SECURITY: REAL FACIAL UNLOCKING AND FINGERPRINT ON THE SCREEN
If there is one aspect that is rapidly evolving in the smartphone sector, it is security. We have gone from phones with unlocking by numerical code to facial unlocking, through fingerprint readers and the like.
Unlike the Huawei Mate 20, the Pro model has a notch with more prominent dimensions. This is due to the integration for the first time in the brand of a facial unlocking system using a dedicated sensor. That is to say, it joins Apple and Xiaomi in the implementation of this new technology, which we dare say, works better than any other brand so far. Fast, smart and efficient in all situations.
THE PHOTOGRAPHIC EVOLUTION CONTINUES TO IMPROVE WITH THE MATE 20 PRO
The first thing that catches the eye of this new Huawei Mate 20 PRO when we look at its rear is the body of cameras. This is arranged in a square, peculiar and differentiating shape. Inside we have 3 sensors and the flash placed in an aesthetic way.
The first sensor has 40 megapixels with a 1.8 focal aperture in charge of capturing every last detail in the shots. The second camera has 20 MP f/2.2, it serves as support and wide angle. Finally, an 8 MP camera dedicated entirely to the telephoto function will allow us to zoom brutally without loss of quality. One of the best in this plot.
It is not the best camera on the market, but its quality is commensurate with its high-end status, especially when it comes to night photography where we see spectacular results. The penalty is found in the need for several seconds to correctly capture the photos in the absence of light, the result is worth it.
HOW MUCH DOES THE HUAWEI MATE 20 PRO COST?
This is the million dollar question, how much does the Mate 20 PRO cost? Well, the price for the first time exceeds the barrier. Specifically, you can get hold of this impressive device in its only version available, at least in Europe, 6+128GB.
