Huawei could have just delivered theP20 Prothis year and left it at that.
The Mate 20 Pro takes everything that was great about its predecessor and dials it up to 11.
First, the specs:
The phone comes with a few variants.
It forgoes 3D face unlock and the in-display fingerprint sensor as well.
The Mate 20Xhas a whopping 7.2-inch screen but also loses the fancier security methods.
Oh, and it comes with a features a leather back.
It’s free, every week, in your inbox.
But its a lot more than the basic processor bump too.
Huawei continues to lead in battery size, becoming the first mainstream flagship with a 4,200 mAh battery.
Then theres the new SuperCharge tech, which is pretty insane.
According to Huawei, the P20 Pro can reach 70 percent charge in just 30 minutes.
That makes even OnePlus dash charging look tame.
Frankly, Im surprised this hasnt been done sooner.
But once again, the camera is the star of the show.
That gives it a triple-camera setup similar toLGs V40, but with much more powerful hardware behind it.
Ive typically preferred Googles processing, but that company couldlearn a thing or two from Huawei.
Theres one more camera, by the way though not for photos.
Despite being packed to the brim with features, the P20 Pro manages to keep up appearances.
Im particularly fond of the Midnight Blue, which has a grippy etched texture on the rear glass.
So yeah, Im pretty excited about this phone.
After being somewhat disappointed with Googles hardware choices with thePixel 3, the Mate 20 Pro is refreshing.
Hopefully, Huawei still remembered to prioritize quality over quantity.
Its available to pre-order in Europe starting today.
Stay tuned for our full review once we get our hands on a production unit.
69,990 ($987) exclusively through Amazon India.
This post previously stated the Mate 20 Pro featured a Micro SD slot.
It doesnt it uses a newfangled nano memory card that Huawei is apparently selling itself.
We regret the error.
