The launch of the successor to the iconic Huawei Mate 10 Pro – Huawei Mate 20 Pro– is behind us. It features an unconventional design, interesting technical solutions and, most importantly, great performance. As a representative of the company stated at the launch in London – Huawei Mate 20 Pro is the best of the Chinese company’s devices to date. What else do we know about them? What does it look like? What does it hide inside? With this article we will bring you closer to the specifications of the model.

The phone has an incredibly attractive design. It is expected to appear on the market in several color variants: pink gold and twilight, among others. The dimensions of the Huawei Mate 20 Pro are 157.20 x72.30 x8.60 mm. The bezels on the front of the device are extremely narrow, making the diagonal of the display itself as large as 6.39 inches. The screen is made with OLED technology, and its resolution is 1140×3120 pixels. Immediately you can admit that the display on the Huawei Mate 20 Lite has very good color reproduction and correct contrast.

The fingerprint reader on the Mate 20 Pro is located in the screen, but it is not visible on thescreen, as they are directly below it. The problem, however, may be that it only occupies a small part of the screen, making it hard to hit it without looking.

Something that is undoubtedly striking is the placement of the cameras on the device’s back flap. The three cameras and one flash are arranged in a 2×2 system, which looks very interesting. What deserves praise is that Huawei does not copy the rear panel arrangement/design from other companies’ devices, but creates its own original solutions. Unfortunately, we can’t say the same about the front panel, which is a carbon copy of many current smartphones – it’s all about the ubiquitous notch.

Huawei Mate 20 Pro is equipped with face unlocking, which is based not only on the camera, but also on a module that builds a face map. The manufacturers said they are confident enough in their technology that in addition to the standard use for unlocking the device, it can still be used for payments, bank login, etc.

The Mate 20 Pro will run on Android 9.0 Pie. The device is equipped with the latest Kirin 980 processor used in Android smartphones. It also has 6 or 8 GB of RAM and, depending on the version, 128 or 256 GB for user files. Interestingly, Huawei has decided to give users the option to expand the memory of its Mate 20 Pro via nanoSD memory card.

The battery capacity is 4,200 mAh and it also charges inductively. What makes this battery stand out is its super-fast charging capability – the battery is said to be 70 percent charged in half an hour via a 40-watt power adapter included in the package. The Mate 20 Pro itself can also act as an inductive charger – for a watch, headphones or another smartphone that supports wireless charging.

The Huawei Mate 20 Pro is not equipped with a headphone input but instead we find a USB-C port for charging the smartphone. It also supports all the latest wireless connectivity standards, including LTE and NFC (for wireless payments).

The price of the Huawei Mate 20 Pro in Poland is expected to be PLN 4299. Is it a great deal? It’s hard to say. On the one hand, the device has so many interesting features and comes with such good components that you know what you’re paying for. But will it convince the market and conquer the popularity rankings? That remains to be seen, and whether it is worth buying it must be decided by each individual.

Nowadays we take our smartphones with us literally everywhere, making them exposed to all sorts of dangers lurking at every turn. The most vulnerable to scratches, cracks or dirt is the screen, with its damage apparently affecting the comfort of use. As you know, even the cheapest screen protection will be better than none at all. So which option should you choose to best protect the front panel of your device? Tempered glass or a film? Or is it worth investing in hybrid glass?

Protective film:

With a protective film, we will gain the most aesthetic, least visible, but not necessarily the best protection. This solution, unfortunately, is not the most advantageous due to the thickness of the coating that the film forms, and there is a relatively low strength. The downside is also the difficulty of installing the film on the screen. A lot of hard-to-remove “bubbles” may form, through which our protective layer will not stick as it should, which also means it will not be as effective as it could be. It is worth noting that this is one of the cheaper and more effective options for protecting the front panel of a smartphone, where it is heavily curved.

Tempered glass:

Tempered glass is a much better protection than film, but less aesthetically pleasing, by being thicker and much more visible on the device, which will bother some users. A big advantage of this type of protection is the ease of installation, as long as our device has a flat front panel. If our smartphone has rounded edges, the matter gets a bit more complicated and no longer everyone will be able to cope with the installation themselves. Importantly, the tempered glass can be removed and put on repeatedly, so you can safely make several attempts in case of failure.

Hybrid glass:

Hybrid glass combines the flexibility and thickness of a protective film with high hardness, slightly inferior to glass. Thanks to this combination, it ranks perfectly between standard tempered glass and protective film. An important advantage of this form of protection is that thanks to its high flexibility the glass does not shatter or break, so it lasts a long, long time. Another plus is that hybrid glass is a slim product, making it virtually imperceptible when using the device. It is also easy to install, but has a slightly increased susceptibility to surface scratches compared to tempered glass.

So which solution should you choose? It already depends on the individual tastes of each user, how vulnerable the screen is to scratches or cracks and what budget we want to allocate to protect the front panel of our smartphone. However, it is worth remembering that any protection is better than none! All types of glasses and also cases for iPhone 12 you will find in the corresponding section:)
