We have witnessed the premiere of the successor to the iconic Huawei Mate 10 Pro – Huawei Mate 20 Pro. It is characterized by an unconventional appearance, interesting technical solutions, and most importantly, excellent performance. As a company representative stated at the premiere in London – Huawei Mate 20 Pro is the best device from the Chinese company so far. What else do we know about them? What does it look like? What does it hide inside? In this article, we will introduce you to the specifications of this model.
The phone has an incredibly attractive appearance. It is expected to appear on the market in several color variants: including pink gold and twilight. The dimensions of the Huawei Mate 20 Pro are 157.20 x 72.30 x 8.60 mm. The bezels on the front of the device are extremely narrow, allowing the display itself to have a diagonal of 6.39 inches. The screen is made with OLED technology, and its resolution is 1140×3120 pixels. It can be immediately admitted that the display in the Huawei Mate 20 Lite is characterized by very good color reproduction and correct contrast.
The fingerprint reader in the Mate 20 Pro is located in the screen, but it is not visible on it, as it is directly underneath. However, the problem may be the fact that it occupies only a small part of the screen, making it difficult to hit without looking.
Something that undoubtedly catches the eye is the arrangement of the cameras on the back cover of the device. Three cameras and one lamp are arranged in a 2×2 system, which looks very interesting. It is commendable that Huawei does not copy the layout/design of the rear panel from devices of other companies but creates its own, original solutions. Unfortunately, we cannot say the same about the front panel, which is a copy of many current smartphones – referring to the ubiquitous notch.
Huawei Mate 20 Pro is equipped with face unlocking features, which are based not only on the camera but also on a module that builds a face map. The manufacturers stated that they are so confident in their technology that, apart from the standard use for unlocking the device, it can also be used for payments, logging into the bank, etc.
Mate 20 Pro will run on Android 9.0 Pie. The device is equipped with the latest processor used in Android smartphones, the Kirin 980. It also has 6 or 8 GB of RAM and, depending on the version, 128 or 256 GB for user files. Interestingly, Huawei decided to give users the option to expand the memory of their Mate 20 Pro via a nanoSD memory card.
The battery capacity is 4200 mAh and is also charged inductively. What distinguishes this battery is the possibility of super-fast charging – in half an hour, the battery is supposed to be charged to 70 percent thanks to the 40-watt charger included in the set. The Mate 20 Pro itself can also act as an inductive charger – for a watch, headphones, or another smartphone supporting wireless charging.
Huawei Mate 20 Pro is not equipped with a headphone jack, but we will find a USB-C port intended for charging the smartphone. It also supports all the latest wireless connectivity standards, including LTE and NFC (used for wireless payments).
