<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">UNBOXING</span></h2>
<p><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-223343" src="https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Screen-Shot-2018-11-18-at-10.03.09-PM.png?x44794" alt="" width="1280" height="716" srcset="https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Screen-Shot-2018-11-18-at-10.03.09-PM.png 1280w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Screen-Shot-2018-11-18-at-10.03.09-PM-300x168.png 300w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Screen-Shot-2018-11-18-at-10.03.09-PM-768x430.png 768w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Screen-Shot-2018-11-18-at-10.03.09-PM-1024x573.png 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px" /> <img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-223344" src="https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Screen-Shot-2018-11-18-at-10.03.31-PM.png?x44794" alt="" width="1280" height="717" srcset="https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Screen-Shot-2018-11-18-at-10.03.31-PM.png 1280w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Screen-Shot-2018-11-18-at-10.03.31-PM-300x168.png 300w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Screen-Shot-2018-11-18-at-10.03.31-PM-768x430.png 768w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Screen-Shot-2018-11-18-at-10.03.31-PM-1024x574.png 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px" /></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Inside the packaging, you get all the usual items and some extras include a pair of earphones. In addition, my phone shipped with a soft TPU case but the inclusion of this accessory depends on the region or market.</span></p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">DESIGN and DISPLAY </span></h2>
<p><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-223322" src="https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Screen-Shot-2018-11-18-at-9.54.56-PM.png?x44794" alt="" width="1280" height="719" srcset="https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Screen-Shot-2018-11-18-at-9.54.56-PM.png 1280w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Screen-Shot-2018-11-18-at-9.54.56-PM-300x169.png 300w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Screen-Shot-2018-11-18-at-9.54.56-PM-768x431.png 768w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Screen-Shot-2018-11-18-at-9.54.56-PM-1024x575.png 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px" /></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I’ve been using the Mate 20 Pro since the official launch and I have to tell you that Mate 20 is similar in a lot of ways. </span></p>
<p><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-223324" src="https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Screen-Shot-2018-11-18-at-9.55.33-PM.png?x44794" alt="" width="1280" height="718" srcset="https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Screen-Shot-2018-11-18-at-9.55.33-PM.png 1280w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Screen-Shot-2018-11-18-at-9.55.33-PM-300x168.png 300w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Screen-Shot-2018-11-18-at-9.55.33-PM-768x431.png 768w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Screen-Shot-2018-11-18-at-9.55.33-PM-1024x574.png 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px" /></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It’s made of glass and aluminum, the blue color option has a nice textured finish and a special coating that does not attract fingerprints and smudges so easily like conventional glass. </span></p>
<p><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-223323" src="https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Screen-Shot-2018-11-18-at-9.55.15-PM.png?x44794" alt="" width="1280" height="718" srcset="https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Screen-Shot-2018-11-18-at-9.55.15-PM.png 1280w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Screen-Shot-2018-11-18-at-9.55.15-PM-300x168.png 300w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Screen-Shot-2018-11-18-at-9.55.15-PM-768x431.png 768w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Screen-Shot-2018-11-18-at-9.55.15-PM-1024x574.png 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px" /></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Just like the Mate 20 Pro, the Mate 20 is sturdy and well-made and I’m yet to see any scratches on it after using the phone for quite some time.</span></p>
<p><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-223347" src="https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Screen-Shot-2018-11-18-at-10.05.20-PM.png?x44794" alt="" width="1280" height="715" srcset="https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Screen-Shot-2018-11-18-at-10.05.20-PM.png 1280w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Screen-Shot-2018-11-18-at-10.05.20-PM-300x168.png 300w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Screen-Shot-2018-11-18-at-10.05.20-PM-768x429.png 768w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Screen-Shot-2018-11-18-at-10.05.20-PM-1024x572.png 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px" /></p>
<p><a href="https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Screen-Shot-2018-11-18-at-10.04.58-PM.png?x44794"><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-223346" src="https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Screen-Shot-2018-11-18-at-10.04.58-PM.png?x44794" alt="" width="1280" height="712" srcset="https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Screen-Shot-2018-11-18-at-10.04.58-PM.png 1280w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Screen-Shot-2018-11-18-at-10.04.58-PM-300x167.png 300w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Screen-Shot-2018-11-18-at-10.04.58-PM-768x427.png 768w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Screen-Shot-2018-11-18-at-10.04.58-PM-1024x570.png 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px" /></a></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The main difference between the Mate 20 and the Pro is the feeling in the hand. The Mate 20 is significantly wider than the Pro model due to a larger display that also has a slightly different aspect ratio.</span></p>
<p><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-223339" src="https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Screen-Shot-2018-11-18-at-10.01.39-PM.png?x44794" alt="" width="1280" height="717" srcset="https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Screen-Shot-2018-11-18-at-10.01.39-PM.png 1280w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Screen-Shot-2018-11-18-at-10.01.39-PM-300x168.png 300w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Screen-Shot-2018-11-18-at-10.01.39-PM-768x430.png 768w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Screen-Shot-2018-11-18-at-10.01.39-PM-1024x574.png 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px" /></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">That display (6.53&#8243;, 1080 x 2244) uses IPS LCD technology as opposed to AMOLED screen found on the Mate 20 Pro. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">On the other hand, the panel is really nice and sharp, colors are vibrant and I had no issues seeing the display outdoors. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">By the way, the Mate 20 has a significantly smaller notch as opposed to the Mate 20 Pro. </span></p>
<p><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-223334" src="https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Screen-Shot-2018-11-18-at-9.58.58-PM.png?x44794" alt="" width="1280" height="713" srcset="https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Screen-Shot-2018-11-18-at-9.58.58-PM.png 1280w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Screen-Shot-2018-11-18-at-9.58.58-PM-300x167.png 300w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Screen-Shot-2018-11-18-at-9.58.58-PM-768x428.png 768w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Screen-Shot-2018-11-18-at-9.58.58-PM-1024x570.png 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px" /></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Mate 20 has a slimmed down triple camera setup that is made in collaboration with Leica. The setup consists of 12 MP, f/1.8, 27mm (wide) sensor, 16 MP, f/2.2, 17mm (ultrawide) and 8 MP, f/2.4, 52mm (telephoto) camera.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We also have a super-fast and accurate fingerprint reader which is implemented on the back whereas the Mate 20 Pro has the scanner implemented under the display.</span></p>
<p><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-223325" src="https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Screen-Shot-2018-11-18-at-9.55.48-PM.png?x44794" alt="" width="1280" height="716" srcset="https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Screen-Shot-2018-11-18-at-9.55.48-PM.png 1280w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Screen-Shot-2018-11-18-at-9.55.48-PM-300x168.png 300w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Screen-Shot-2018-11-18-at-9.55.48-PM-768x430.png 768w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Screen-Shot-2018-11-18-at-9.55.48-PM-1024x573.png 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px" /></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The face recognition works quite well on the Mate 20. However, it’s less accurate than on the Mate 20 Pro which has an excellent face scanner. </span></p>
<p><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-223328" src="https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Screen-Shot-2018-11-18-at-9.56.56-PM.png?x44794" alt="" width="1280" height="712" srcset="https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Screen-Shot-2018-11-18-at-9.56.56-PM.png 1280w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Screen-Shot-2018-11-18-at-9.56.56-PM-300x167.png 300w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Screen-Shot-2018-11-18-at-9.56.56-PM-768x427.png 768w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Screen-Shot-2018-11-18-at-9.56.56-PM-1024x570.png 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px" /></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Other features include a headphone jack that provides very good sound quality, IR blaster, a hybrid dual SIM card slot and IP53 certification, meaning that the phone is splashproof and dust resistant. In comparison, the Mate 20 Pro has a higher IP68 rating. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Finally, the Mate 20 has a dual speakers’ system that produces balanced and rich audio. </span></p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">HARDWARE and PERFORMANCE</span></h2>
[envira-gallery id=&#8221;223383&#8243;]
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The device ships with the HiSilicon Kirin 980 CPU, 4/6 GB RAM and 128GB of internal storage.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Great specifications of the Mate 20 assure excellent gaming performance. In fact, the new Mate series phones are the first Android devices that use a 7nm CPU.</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"><br />
</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"><br />
</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">I played quite a few 3D games on the highest graphics settings to push the hardware to its limits and there was no stutter, no lag and the graphics looked nice. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;"><br />
</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"><br />
</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">In addition, the phone does not get hot even after 30 mins of gaming. Overall, you get a flagship-grade gaming performance, just like with the Mate 20 Pro. </span></p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">USER INTERFACE</span></h2>
[envira-gallery id=&#8221;223391&#8243;]
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Just like the Pro model, the Mate 20 ships with the EMUI 9 which is based on Android 9. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As usual to Huawei phones, there are tons of features, tweaks, settings, navigation methods and customization options to play with. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Just to name a few, I like changing the transitions effects, themes and I use a few smart features like knocking on the screen to take a screenshot. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">My favorite way of navigating through the UI is using gestures. I found it really convenient for one hand use and it takes just a moment to get used to it. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Just like the Mate 20 Pro, the Mate 20 is a super fast and smooth phone and I can assure that after using both devices for a long time on a daily basis. No matter what you do with the phone, no matter how many apps you are going to install, the new Mates just fly and I’m yet to see either phone stutter or lag. </span></p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">IMAGE QUALITY</span></h2>
[envira-gallery id=&#8221;223416&#8243;]
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I have to mention that I tested the camera on a dark and cloudy autumn day, meaning that the lighting conditions were pretty bad. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The overall image quality using the Leica-branded camera system is very good. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">You have the flexibility to choose between 2x optical zoom or use a wide-angle lens which is probably my favorite. Pictures usually come nice and detailed and the colors are quite accurate. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I compared the quality to the Mate 20 Pro and the difference is negligible but the latter phone usually takes pictures with warmer colors and a bit more detail. Again, you won’t be able to see a huge difference most of the time. On the other hand, the Mate 20 Pro has an advantage as it offers 3x optical and 5x hybrid zoom whereas the Mate 20 has only 2x zoom.</span></p>
[envira-gallery id=&#8221;223447&#8243;]
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Low-light image quality is very good either if you take them using auto or a dedicated night mode. Just like the Mate 20 Pro, Mate 20 allows you to take long exposure shots without a tripod and the results are simply amazing. This is arguably the best night image quality I’ve seen on any smartphone.</span></p>
[envira-gallery id=&#8221;223459&#8243;]
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Portrait shots usually look really nice as the object or subject is nicely separated from the background with almost no artifacts and the bokeh looks creamy.</span></p>
[envira-gallery id=&#8221;223569&#8243;]
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Selfies look nice. They are sharp, detailed and the colors are quite accurate. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Selfie portrait shots look nice too as there no severe artifacts around the subject and pictures will look nice on social media.</span></p>
[embedyt] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQ4K-hWU8bc[/embedyt]
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Just like on the Pro model, the 4k video has quite a lot of detail and sharpness. However, there is some jello effect going on when you are panning the phone, which is quite frustrating. </span></p>
[embedyt] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_NNbe5oaol8[/embedyt]
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">On the other hand, the 1080p footage is nice and smooth. </span></p>
[embedyt] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q2j-j17aTjo[/embedyt]
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">1080p selfie video looks great as it is smooth and stable. Finally, the sound recording quality is good.</span></p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">BATTERY LIFE</span></h2>
<p><a href="https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Screen-Shot-2018-11-18-at-9.58.26-PM.png?x44794"><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-223332" src="https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Screen-Shot-2018-11-18-at-9.58.26-PM.png?x44794" alt="" width="1280" height="717" srcset="https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Screen-Shot-2018-11-18-at-9.58.26-PM.png 1280w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Screen-Shot-2018-11-18-at-9.58.26-PM-300x168.png 300w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Screen-Shot-2018-11-18-at-9.58.26-PM-768x430.png 768w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Screen-Shot-2018-11-18-at-9.58.26-PM-1024x574.png 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px" /></a></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The battery life has been fantastic. On average, I was able to get over 8 hours of screen on time while using the phone quite intensively. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">My record screen-on time was 12 hours when I used the device just for the basic stuff like web browsing and social media. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The phone ships with the regular fast charger which fully charges the phone in about 1 hour and 10 mins. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">In comparison, the Mate 20 Pro ships with a 40W super fast charger that charges the phone in less than 1 hour. </span></p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">CONNECTIVITY</span></h2>
<p><a href="https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Screen-Shot-2018-11-18-at-9.58.09-PM.png?x44794"><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-223331" src="https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Screen-Shot-2018-11-18-at-9.58.09-PM.png?x44794" alt="" width="1280" height="718" srcset="https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Screen-Shot-2018-11-18-at-9.58.09-PM.png 1280w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Screen-Shot-2018-11-18-at-9.58.09-PM-300x168.png 300w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Screen-Shot-2018-11-18-at-9.58.09-PM-768x431.png 768w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Screen-Shot-2018-11-18-at-9.58.09-PM-1024x574.png 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px" /></a></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Mate 20 offers ultra-fast 4.5G network speeds, excellent signal reception, great call quality, super fast Wifi, and dual-frequency </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">GPS</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> that I found to be very accurate for both driving and walking. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Also, there is NFC and plenty of sensors on board. </span></p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">CONCLUSIONS</span></h2>
<p><a href="https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Screen-Shot-2018-11-18-at-9.56.31-PM.png?x44794"><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-223327" src="https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Screen-Shot-2018-11-18-at-9.56.31-PM.png?x44794" alt="" width="1280" height="716" srcset="https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Screen-Shot-2018-11-18-at-9.56.31-PM.png 1280w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Screen-Shot-2018-11-18-at-9.56.31-PM-300x168.png 300w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Screen-Shot-2018-11-18-at-9.56.31-PM-768x430.png 768w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Screen-Shot-2018-11-18-at-9.56.31-PM-1024x573.png 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px" /></a></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Huawei Mate 20 is a solid flagship smartphone for a lot of reasons. Let’s summarize the pros and cons.</span></p>
<p><a href="https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Screen-Shot-2018-11-18-at-9.58.41-PM.png?x44794"><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-223333" src="https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Screen-Shot-2018-11-18-at-9.58.41-PM.png?x44794" alt="" width="1280" height="715" srcset="https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Screen-Shot-2018-11-18-at-9.58.41-PM.png 1280w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Screen-Shot-2018-11-18-at-9.58.41-PM-300x168.png 300w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Screen-Shot-2018-11-18-at-9.58.41-PM-768x429.png 768w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Screen-Shot-2018-11-18-at-9.58.41-PM-1024x572.png 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px" /></a></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I love the design, excellent build, great display, superb all-around performance, very good cameras, and solid battery life. </span></p>
<p><a href="https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Screen-Shot-2018-11-18-at-10.02.49-PM.png?x44794"><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-223342" src="https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Screen-Shot-2018-11-18-at-10.02.49-PM.png?x44794" alt="" width="1280" height="712" srcset="https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Screen-Shot-2018-11-18-at-10.02.49-PM.png 1280w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Screen-Shot-2018-11-18-at-10.02.49-PM-300x167.png 300w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Screen-Shot-2018-11-18-at-10.02.49-PM-768x427.png 768w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Screen-Shot-2018-11-18-at-10.02.49-PM-1024x570.png 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px" /></a></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The main shortcomings are that there is the so-called jello effect in 4K video recording mode, there is no wireless charging and the water and dust resistance rating could be higher.</span></p>
<p><a href="https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Screen-Shot-2018-11-18-at-10.05.35-PM.png?x44794"><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-223348" src="https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Screen-Shot-2018-11-18-at-10.05.35-PM.png?x44794" alt="" width="1280" height="717" srcset="https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Screen-Shot-2018-11-18-at-10.05.35-PM.png 1280w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Screen-Shot-2018-11-18-at-10.05.35-PM-300x168.png 300w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Screen-Shot-2018-11-18-at-10.05.35-PM-768x430.png 768w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Screen-Shot-2018-11-18-at-10.05.35-PM-1024x574.png 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px" /></a></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">At the end of the day, the Mate 20 is a great and cheaper alternative to the Mate 20 Pro as it has a ton of premium features. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">After using the Mate 20 for quite some time, I think that it is a very solid flagship smartphone overall, despite a few shortcomings. </span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I have the latter one. Even though I wanted to get the Twilight color, the blue model looks just gorgeous. I also had a chance to check out the black color option that looks nice and clean. </span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Mate 20 Pro carries a ridiculously high price tag of about 1000 EUR here in Europe but it does offer a ton of premium features. </span></p>
<p><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-219438" src="https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-28-at-4.39.18-PM.png?x44794" alt="" width="1280" height="715" srcset="https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-28-at-4.39.18-PM.png 1280w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-28-at-4.39.18-PM-300x168.png 300w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-28-at-4.39.18-PM-768x429.png 768w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-28-at-4.39.18-PM-1024x572.png 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px" /></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Mate 20 Pro is a true powerhouse as it ships with the latest Kirin 980 chipset, 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage which is expandable via the Nano Memory &#8211; the new type of memory cards introduced by Huawei. Innovation in this department is great but a lot of users would love to see a more conventional microSD card slot.</span></p>
<p><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-219401" src="https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-18-at-12.10.30-AM-1.png?x44794" alt="" width="1280" height="715" srcset="https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-18-at-12.10.30-AM-1.png 1280w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-18-at-12.10.30-AM-1-300x168.png 300w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-18-at-12.10.30-AM-1-768x429.png 768w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-18-at-12.10.30-AM-1-1024x572.png 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px" /></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">At the first glance, the Mate 20 Pro is yet another flagship phone that has a familiar design &#8211; glass on the front and rear, a metal frame and display with the notch. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">However, this is one of the most innovative phones of 2018 since it packs a lot of features we haven’t seen on other devices. </span></p>
<p><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-219433" src="https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-28-at-4.37.21-PM.png?x44794" alt="" width="1280" height="715" srcset="https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-28-at-4.37.21-PM.png 1280w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-28-at-4.37.21-PM-300x168.png 300w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-28-at-4.37.21-PM-768x429.png 768w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-28-at-4.37.21-PM-1024x572.png 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px" /> <img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-219434" src="https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-28-at-4.37.42-PM.png?x44794" alt="" width="1280" height="715" srcset="https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-28-at-4.37.42-PM.png 1280w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-28-at-4.37.42-PM-300x168.png 300w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-28-at-4.37.42-PM-768x429.png 768w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-28-at-4.37.42-PM-1024x572.png 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px" /></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Also, the phone looks a lot different than the last year’s Mate 10 Pro and this year’s P20 Pro. By the way, this is the Morpho Aurora color of the P20 Pro. It would be nice if Huawei released the Mate 20 Pro with this color finish later on.</span></p>
<p><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-219421" src="https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-18-at-12.19.00-AM-1.png?x44794" alt="" width="1280" height="715" srcset="https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-18-at-12.19.00-AM-1.png 1280w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-18-at-12.19.00-AM-1-300x168.png 300w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-18-at-12.19.00-AM-1-768x429.png 768w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-18-at-12.19.00-AM-1-1024x572.png 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px" /></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">First of all, the backplate of the phone uses Hyper Optical Pattern design which is said to be more durable, easy to grip and fingerprint resistant. In practice, it’s really nice to the touch and it indeed attracts fewer fingerprints than conventional glass. It’s still quite slippery, though.</span></p>
<p><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-219435" src="https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-28-at-4.37.58-PM.png?x44794" alt="" width="1280" height="714" srcset="https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-28-at-4.37.58-PM.png 1280w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-28-at-4.37.58-PM-300x167.png 300w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-28-at-4.37.58-PM-768x428.png 768w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-28-at-4.37.58-PM-1024x571.png 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px" /></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The 6.39&#8243; (1440 x 3120px) HDR OLED display has the notch but you can hide it if you don’t like it.</span></p>
<p><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-219402" src="https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-18-at-12.11.01-AM-1.png?x44794" alt="" width="1280" height="717" srcset="https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-18-at-12.11.01-AM-1.png 1280w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-18-at-12.11.01-AM-1-300x168.png 300w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-18-at-12.11.01-AM-1-768x430.png 768w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-18-at-12.11.01-AM-1-1024x574.png 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px" /></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The screen is super sharp and vibrant thanks high resolution. In addition, I like the color reproduction and I had no issues seeing it outdoors due to great brightness output. Despite a huge panel, the phone is fairly compact due to slim bezels on each side. Also, it’s really comfortable to hold the device in one hand. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">One of the highlights of the phone &#8211; in-display fingerprint scanner. Well, it takes a bit more time to set it up but it works really well. It may be just a tad slower to unlock the phone but it works 10/10 times. Well done, Huawei, I hope other manufacturers will implement this feature soon.</span></p>
<p><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-219445" src="https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-28-at-5.18.11-PM.png?x44794" alt="" width="1280" height="718" srcset="https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-28-at-5.18.11-PM.png 1280w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-28-at-5.18.11-PM-300x168.png 300w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-28-at-5.18.11-PM-768x431.png 768w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-28-at-5.18.11-PM-1024x574.png 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px" /></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In addition, Huawei improved the face recognition feature and it is now called 3D Face Unlock. There is an IR laser system inside the notch that contributes to excellent face unlock feature performance. I can see a massive improvement over the P20 Pro in terms of speed and accuracy. Also, this feature works well in low light. </span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">On the back, you can find an upgraded Leica camera setup that now consists of regular, telephoto and wide-angle cameras: 40 MP, f/1.8, 27mm (wide); 20 MP, f/2.2, 16mm (ultrawide);8 MP, f/2.4, 80mm (telephoto).</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"> On the front, you can find a beefy 24MP selfie shooter. We will talk about image quality in just a bit. </span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The phone also an LED notification light and IR blaster. However, there is no headphone jack but the sound quality via the supplied adapter has been excellent. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Just like most of the flagships, the </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Mate 20 Pro is IP68-certified</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> for water and dust resistance.</span></p>
<p><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-219404" src="https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-18-at-12.11.47-AM-1.png?x44794" alt="" width="1280" height="715" srcset="https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-18-at-12.11.47-AM-1.png 1280w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-18-at-12.11.47-AM-1-300x168.png 300w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-18-at-12.11.47-AM-1-768x429.png 768w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-18-at-12.11.47-AM-1-1024x572.png 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px" /></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A lot of consumers roasted the P20 Pro for not having a wireless charging feature but the Mate 20 Pro has it and the device takes it to another level. First of all, the new Mate provides 15W of power output. What’s more interesting is that the device works as a wireless charging pad, which lets you charge other phones. I know that many will say this is a gimmick but I love innovation and I personally use this feature with my Galaxy S9+&#8230; that has kind of average battery life. </span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Mate 20 Pro has a dual stereo speakers system. What’s interesting is that the bottom firing speaker is implemented in the </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">USB-C port</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">. This has never been done before and I applaud the Huawei for being the first to do that.  </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">The sound quality is really good overall as it is balanced and clear.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Great specifications of the Mate 20 Pro assure excellent gaming performance. In fact, the new Mate is the first Android phone that uses a 7nm CPU.</span></p>
[envira-gallery id=&#8221;219487&#8243;]
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I played quite a few 3D games on the highest graphics settings to push the hardware to its limits and there was no stutter, no lag and the graphics looked nice. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">In addition, the phone did not get hot even after 30 mins of gaming. </span></p>

[envira-gallery id=&#8221;219538&#8243;]
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Mate 20 Pro is also really fast and snappy on the daily basis thanks to the EMUI 9.0 that is based on the Android 9. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Two integrated NPU’s alongside 7nm processor are here to assure the best user experience in terms of speed and responsiveness.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Besides all the features and customization options, the user interface has a new control system that gets rid of the navigation bar and it is based on swipes. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">It took me just a couple of hours to get used to it and I love it. If you don’t like it, you can always use more conventional navigation methods. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">The user interface is very different from the stock Android but if you follow my channel, you know that the EMUI has grown on me as I’ve been using the P20 Pro since the official launch.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I can’t say I need all the features but it’s always great to have plenty of options to choose from. Most importantly, the Mate 20 Pro is ridiculously fast and fluid even after installing plenty of apps. Flagship-grade performance. </span></p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">IMAGE QUALITY</span></h2>
<p><strong>Notice: pictures uploaded on the website are resized by 50% to reduce loading time. </strong></p>
<p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/pg/TechLineHD/photos/?tab=album&amp;album_id=1888166131290436">Download </a><a href="https://www.facebook.com/pg/TechLineHD/photos/?tab=album&amp;album_id=1888166131290436">high resolution camera samples</a></p>
[envira-gallery id=&#8221;219562&#8243;]
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The highlight of the camera app is the ability to switch from telephoto and wide-angle cameras very quickly. There are plenty of camera modes but my favorites are auto, night and the pro mode that allows you to adjust a few image settings. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I have to tell you that it is really awesome to have so many camera lenses on a phone. Regular, zoom and my favorite 16mm wide-angle lens usually take really nice and detailed pictures and you can capture the same scene from a different perspective. I took almost all pictures side by side in auto, wide angle and telephoto modes and I <a href="https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.1888166131290436&amp;type=1&amp;l=c944c41ad7">uploaded them to my Facebook page in case you want to see more camera samples</a>.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The pictures taken in auto mode look nice, sharp and detailed. I also like the colors and dynamic range is decent. The only complaint is that you cannot use zoom or wide angle lens in full 40MP. That’s why I used the default 10MP mode to take most of the shots. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">In addition, I could only test the camera on a cloudy day, meaning that the lighting conditions were not ideal.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Portrait shots usually look really nice as the object or subject is nicely separated from the background with almost no artifacts and the bokeh looks creamy. You can also take super macro pictures which is another standout feature of the Mate 20 Pro. The main lens can focus up to 2.5cm and the results are really good.</span></p>
[envira-gallery id=&#8221;219667&#8243;]
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Low-light image quality is really good too even though some shots have a yellow tint and images taken with the telephoto lens could look better. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">However, if you use a dedicated night mode, you can take one of the best low-light pictures on a phone. Just like the P20 Pro, the Mate 20 Pro allows you to take long exposure shots without a tripod and the results are simply amazing. This is arguably the best night image quality I’ve seen on any smartphone. </span></p>
[envira-gallery id=&#8221;219702&#8243;]
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Selfies look nice. They are sharp, detailed and the colors are quite accurate. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Selfie portrait shots look nice too as there no severe artifacts around the subject and pictures will look nice on social media. You can also change the background blur effects and you may have already seen that if you <a href="https://www.instagram.com/techlinehd/">follow me on Instagram</a>. </span></p>
[embedyt] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9cUlx4N3bEk[/embedyt]
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">4K video quality has improved dramatically over the P20 Pro. It is now super smooth and stable thanks to the hybrid stabilization system (OIS + EIS). There is quite a lot of detail and sharpness too. However, there is some jello effect going on and video using telephoto cameras does not look great. Keep in mind that the phone runs on a very early software build and I’m sure Huawei will improve that because the powerful hardware is here. </span></p>
[embedyt] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GInWL3CiVag[/embedyt]
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">1080p selfie video looks great as it is smooth and stable. Finally, the sound recording quality is good. </span></p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">BATTERY LIFE</span></h2>
<p><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-219729" src="https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-28-at-10.44.57-PM.png?x44794" alt="" width="1280" height="699" srcset="https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-28-at-10.44.57-PM.png 1280w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-28-at-10.44.57-PM-300x164.png 300w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-28-at-10.44.57-PM-768x419.png 768w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-28-at-10.44.57-PM-1024x559.png 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px" /></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Mate 20 Pro has a massive 4200mAh battery that has been performing extremely well. In fact, the new Mate probably has the best battery life on any flagship smartphone.</span></p>
<p><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-219730" src="https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-28-at-10.45.11-PM.png?x44794" alt="" width="1280" height="715" srcset="https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-28-at-10.45.11-PM.png 1280w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-28-at-10.45.11-PM-300x168.png 300w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-28-at-10.45.11-PM-768x429.png 768w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-28-at-10.45.11-PM-1024x572.png 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px" /></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I could get 9 hours of screen-on time (SOT) under heavy usage of the phone, which is really impressive. If you use the phone just for the basic stuff, you can expect to get over 12 hours of SOT.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Another example: I unplugged the phone at 8 AM, used it quite a bit for taking pictures, reading news and social media, used max. screen brightness setting a lot and … the phone still had 73% of the battery 9.30PM. This is a simply amazing result and it’s certainly the best battery life flagship smartphone I’ve ever had. </span> <img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-219432" src="https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-28-at-4.36.50-PM.png?x44794" alt="" width="1280" height="704" srcset="https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-28-at-4.36.50-PM.png 1280w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-28-at-4.36.50-PM-300x165.png 300w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-28-at-4.36.50-PM-768x422.png 768w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-28-at-4.36.50-PM-1024x563.png 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px" /></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">What’s even more impressive is that the Huawei introduced a super fast 40W charging tech that allows you to charge the phone’s battery up to 70% in just 30 mins. In other words, you can fully charge the phone in under 1 hour with the supplied super fast charger. </span></p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">CONNECTIVITY</span></h2>
<p><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-219427" src="https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-18-at-12.21.43-AM-1.png?x44794" alt="" width="1280" height="716" srcset="https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-18-at-12.21.43-AM-1.png 1280w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-18-at-12.21.43-AM-1-300x168.png 300w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-18-at-12.21.43-AM-1-768x430.png 768w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-18-at-12.21.43-AM-1-1024x573.png 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px" /></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Mate 20 Pro offers ultra-fast 4.5G network speeds, excellent signal reception, great call quality, super fast Wifi, and dual-frequency </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">GPS</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> that I found to be very accurate for both driving and walking. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Also, there is NFC and plenty of sensors on board. </span></p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">CONCLUSIONS</span></h2>
<p><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-219425" src="https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-18-at-12.20.56-AM-1.png?x44794" alt="" width="1280" height="715" srcset="https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-18-at-12.20.56-AM-1.png 1280w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-18-at-12.20.56-AM-1-300x168.png 300w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-18-at-12.20.56-AM-1-768x429.png 768w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-18-at-12.20.56-AM-1-1024x572.png 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px" /></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Huawei Mate 20 Pro is an expensive phone but it offers plenty of innovative features and it might be one of the most complete smartphones the money can buy at the moment but there are a few caveats to consider.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I love the design, great build quality, sharp display, great overall performance, one of the best and versatile cameras, insanely good battery life, plenty of connectivity options and the phone is really comfortable to hold in the hand. </span></p>
<p><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-219414" src="https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-18-at-12.16.20-AM-1.png?x44794" alt="" width="1280" height="718" srcset="https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-18-at-12.16.20-AM-1.png 1280w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-18-at-12.16.20-AM-1-300x168.png 300w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-18-at-12.16.20-AM-1-768x431.png 768w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-18-at-12.16.20-AM-1-1024x574.png 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px" /></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I also love Huawei for implementing plenty of innovative features like world’s first 7nm CPU, an in-display fingerprint scanner, the speaker that is embedded in the USB-C port, reverse wireless charging, 40W super fast charging, the lens that is capable of 2.5cm minimum focusing distance and the new Nano Memory standard.</span></p>
<p><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-219422" src="https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-18-at-12.19.41-AM-1.png?x44794" alt="" width="1280" height="714" srcset="https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-18-at-12.19.41-AM-1.png 1280w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-18-at-12.19.41-AM-1-300x167.png 300w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-18-at-12.19.41-AM-1-768x428.png 768w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-18-at-12.19.41-AM-1-1024x571.png 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px" /></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The downsides of the Mate 20 Pro include the lack of the headphone jack, not really impressive video quality using zoom camera but that may be improved with the future software updates since the phone still runs on an early software build. </span></p>
<p><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-219446" src="https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-28-at-5.18.32-PM.png?x44794" alt="" width="1280" height="716" srcset="https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-28-at-5.18.32-PM.png 1280w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-28-at-5.18.32-PM-300x168.png 300w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-28-at-5.18.32-PM-768x430.png 768w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-28-at-5.18.32-PM-1024x573.png 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px" /></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Other than that, the Huawei Mate 20 Pro is a true flagship smartphone that is just loaded with features, it has a ton of power and it is easily one of the best smartphones of 2018, despite a hefty price tag. In fact, this is my new daily driver for a reason and that says a lot as I’m usually very picky with each gadget I use.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The phone comes in Emerald Green, Pink Gold, Black, Twilight and Midnight Blue color options. I have the latter one.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Even though I wanted to test out the Twilight color, the blue one looks just gorgeous. I also had a chance to check out the black color option that looks nice and clean. </span></p>
<p><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-217530" src="https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-18-at-12.09.15-AM.png?x44794" alt="" width="1280" height="717" srcset="https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-18-at-12.09.15-AM.png 1280w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-18-at-12.09.15-AM-300x168.png 300w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-18-at-12.09.15-AM-768x430.png 768w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-18-at-12.09.15-AM-1024x574.png 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px" /></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Mate 20 Pro is a true powerhouse as it ships with the latest Kirin 980 chipset, 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage which is expandable via Nano Memory &#8211; the new type of memory cards introduced by Huawei. </span></p>
<p><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-217533" src="https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-18-at-12.10.30-AM.png?x44794" alt="" width="1280" height="715" srcset="https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-18-at-12.10.30-AM.png 1280w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-18-at-12.10.30-AM-300x168.png 300w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-18-at-12.10.30-AM-768x429.png 768w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-18-at-12.10.30-AM-1024x572.png 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px" /></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">At first glance, the Mate 20 Pro is yet another flagship phone that has a familiar design &#8211; glass on the front and rear, a metal frame and a display with the notch. </span></p>
<p><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-217559" src="https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-18-at-12.21.43-AM.png?x44794" alt="" width="1280" height="716" srcset="https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-18-at-12.21.43-AM.png 1280w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-18-at-12.21.43-AM-300x168.png 300w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-18-at-12.21.43-AM-768x430.png 768w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-18-at-12.21.43-AM-1024x573.png 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px" /></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">However, this is one of the most innovative phones of 2018 since it packs a lot of features we haven’t seen on other devices. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">First of all, the backplate uses Hyper Optical Pattern design which is said to be more durable, easy to grip and fingerprint resistant. In practice, it’s really nice to the touch and it indeed attracts fewer fingerprints than conventional glass. </span></p>
<p><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-217536" src="https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-18-at-12.11.47-AM.png?x44794" alt="" width="1280" height="715" srcset="https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-18-at-12.11.47-AM.png 1280w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-18-at-12.11.47-AM-300x168.png 300w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-18-at-12.11.47-AM-768x429.png 768w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-18-at-12.11.47-AM-1024x572.png 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px" /></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The 6.39&#8243; HDR OLED display is super sharp and vibrant thanks to 1440 x 3120px resolution (539ppi). </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">One of the highlights of the phone &#8211; in-display fingerprint scanner. It takes a bit more time to set it up but it works flawlessly. It may be just a tad slower to unlock the phone but it works 10/10 times. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">In addition, Huawei improved the face recognition feature and it is now called 3D Face Unlock. I can see a massive improvement over the P20 Pro in terms of speed and accuracy. Also, this feature works well in low light. </span></p>
<p><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-217556" src="https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-18-at-12.20.28-AM.png?x44794" alt="" width="1280" height="715" srcset="https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-18-at-12.20.28-AM.png 1280w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-18-at-12.20.28-AM-300x168.png 300w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-18-at-12.20.28-AM-768x429.png 768w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-18-at-12.20.28-AM-1024x572.png 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px" /></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">On the back, you can find an upgraded Leica camera setup that now consists of 40MP f/1.8 + 8MP f/2.4 OIS telephoto (80mm) + 20MP f/2.2 ultra-wide (16mm) lenses. </span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We took a few pictures in a typical London’s cloudy weather and so far we’ve been really impressed by the level of detail, colors and dynamic range. Furthermore, the wide-angle camera gives you a whole new perspective of the scene. </span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Moreover, 4K video quality has improved dramatically over the P20 Pro. It is now super smooth and stable thanks to the hybrid stabilization system (OIS + EIS). </span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Other key features of the P20 Pro: the phone has a dual stereo speakers system. What’s interesting is that the bottom firing speaker is implemented in the USB-C port. This has never been done before and so far we’ve been impressed with the sound quality.</span></p>
<p><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-217548" src="https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-18-at-12.16.44-AM.png?x44794" alt="" width="1280" height="715" srcset="https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-18-at-12.16.44-AM.png 1280w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-18-at-12.16.44-AM-300x168.png 300w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-18-at-12.16.44-AM-768x429.png 768w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-18-at-12.16.44-AM-1024x572.png 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px" /></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The phone also has a beefy 24MP selfie shooter, LED notification light and IR blaster. In addition, t</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">he Mate 20 Pro is IP68-certified for water and dust resistance.</span></p>
<p><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-217554" src="https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-18-at-12.19.41-AM.png?x44794" alt="" width="1280" height="714" srcset="https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-18-at-12.19.41-AM.png 1280w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-18-at-12.19.41-AM-300x167.png 300w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-18-at-12.19.41-AM-768x428.png 768w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-18-at-12.19.41-AM-1024x571.png 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px" /></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">So far the phone has been performing really well. It’s really fast and snappy thanks to the latest Android 9 that has EMUI 9.0.</span></p>
<p><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-217551" src="https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-18-at-12.18.10-AM.png?x44794" alt="" width="1280" height="716" srcset="https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-18-at-12.18.10-AM.png 1280w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-18-at-12.18.10-AM-300x168.png 300w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-18-at-12.18.10-AM-768x430.png 768w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-18-at-12.18.10-AM-1024x573.png 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px" /></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Besides all the features and customization options, the user interface has a new control system that gets rid of the navigation bar and it is based on swipes. We will cover this in detail in our full review. </span></p>
<p><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-217543" src="https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-18-at-12.14.36-AM.png?x44794" alt="" width="1280" height="718" srcset="https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-18-at-12.14.36-AM.png 1280w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-18-at-12.14.36-AM-300x168.png 300w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-18-at-12.14.36-AM-768x431.png 768w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-18-at-12.14.36-AM-1024x574.png 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px" /></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Mate 20 Pro has a massive 4200mAh battery that has been performing extremely well. For example, I’ve used the phone for the entire day here in London and I still have over 50% left in the tank. Really impressive performance. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">What’s even more impressive is that the Huawei introduced a super fast 40W charging tech that allows you to charge the phone’s battery up to 70% in just 30 mins. </span></p>
<p><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-217550" src="https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-18-at-12.17.46-AM.png?x44794" alt="" width="1280" height="715" srcset="https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-18-at-12.17.46-AM.png 1280w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-18-at-12.17.46-AM-300x168.png 300w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-18-at-12.17.46-AM-768x429.png 768w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Screen-Shot-2018-10-18-at-12.17.46-AM-1024x572.png 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px" /></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In addition, the Mate 20 Pro supports a fast wireless charging (15w). Further, the phone can charge other devices wirelessly which is a truly innovative feature. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Mate 20 Pro also offers ultra-fast 4.5G network speeds, excellent signal reception, super fast Wifi, and dual-frequency GPS.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">So far we have been really impressed with this phone. It looks and feels great, the display is nice and we had no issues with outdoor visibility, the Mate 20 Pro is really fast and snappy, the camera takes brilliant pictures in any light, all the connectivity options work fine and battery life has been superb.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The  HUAWEI  Mate 20  Pro (6GB + 128GB  configuration) will have a MSRP  of EUR1049from 16th October, 2018.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Even though this is a pretty expensive smartphone, it brings a lot of innovative features and it offers a true flagship experience after using it for more than 30 hours. We will cover all the pros and cons of this device in our full review so make sure to stay tuned. </span></p>
<p><img loading="lazy" class="wp-image-217566 aligncenter" src="https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Mate-20_Green_Rear.jpg?x44794" alt="" width="242" height="477" srcset="https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Mate-20_Green_Rear.jpg 649w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Mate-20_Green_Rear-152x300.jpg 152w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Mate-20_Green_Rear-519x1024.jpg 519w" sizes="(max-width: 242px) 100vw, 242px" /></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Huawei also announced the Mate 20 which is a slimmed down version of the P20 Pro. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The device has a larger display but it uses a more conventional fingerprint reader that is implemented on the back of the device instead of in-display scanner found on the Mate 20 Pro. </span></p>
<p><img loading="lazy" class="wp-image-217565 aligncenter" src="https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Mate-20_Green_Front.jpg?x44794" alt="" width="213" height="422" srcset="https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Mate-20_Green_Front.jpg 646w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Mate-20_Green_Front-151x300.jpg 151w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Mate-20_Green_Front-517x1024.jpg 517w" sizes="(max-width: 213px) 100vw, 213px" /></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Huawei also announced two new wearables &#8211; the Huawei Watch GT and the Band 3 Pro. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Launched alongside the flagship HUAWEI  Mate 20 Series, the new wearables offer sophisticated ways for consumers to track their activities and receive fitness coaching that is based on scientific research. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Featuring the classic wristwatch design, ultra-high battery life, low power consumption, sophisticated activity tracking and fitness coaching features, the HUAWEI WATCH GT is one of the most hotly anticipated wearables of the year. The new HUAWEI watch bears the GT name to call attention to its high performance and reliability—just as grand tourers, or high-performance automobiles, are trusted for their prowess.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Spurred by technical advancements and improving living standards, people are becoming keener to explore the world around them. As an extension of smartphones, wearables complement the feature sets of today’s handsets to help consumers get more out of their devices. Designed for today’s urban explorers, the HUAWEI WATCH GT addresses one of the most common pain points of wearables: battery life.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><br />
</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">The HUAWEI WATCH GT uses an innovative smart power-saving algorithm that enables it to dynamically switch between performance and efficiency modes, depending on user activity, for maximum battery life. This allows the smartwatch to stay powered for up to two weeks for frequent use mode 1. Furthermore, the dual-core architecture of the HUAWEI WATCH GT lets the wearable user enjoy the best of both worlds—it is simultaneously a powerful and highly efficient smartwatch.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Besides improved performance and new features, the HUAWEI WATCH GT also sports a unique design. The 1.39-inch 454&#215;254 AMOLED high-resolution display presents information cleanly on the </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">wrist. The smartwatch body incorporates a dual-crown design with stainless steel and ceramic bezels, and is treated with a DLC diamond carbon coating to provide users with durability that will last for decades. The 10.6mm case body is compatible with two band options—a dual-color silicone band and an elegant leather-rubber band—giving users more choices to customize their HUAWEI WATCH GT for any occasion.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><br />
</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">In addition to the ultra-long battery life, the HUAWEI WATCH GT features industry-leading positioning capabilities. The smart watch can simultaneously tap into GPS, GLONASS and GALILEO, three of the major satellite positioning systems, for precise positioning. A tracking algorithm then optimizes the tracking data to achieve one-to-one positioning even in areas with numerous disparate signals.</span></p>
<p><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-217570" src="https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/HUAWEI-WATCH-GT_2.jpg?x44794" alt="" width="1273" height="888" srcset="https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/HUAWEI-WATCH-GT_2.jpg 1273w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/HUAWEI-WATCH-GT_2-300x209.jpg 300w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/HUAWEI-WATCH-GT_2-768x536.jpg 768w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/HUAWEI-WATCH-GT_2-1024x714.jpg 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 1273px) 100vw, 1273px" /></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><br />
</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">The HUAWEI WATCH GT also addresses the needs of active users. Based on its strength in positioning, HUAWEI WATCH GT also supports all-round sports activity tracking. Working with professional sports organizations, Huawei enables tracking for a range of sports, including indoor exercises, outdoor running, mountain climbing, cycling and open water swimming. The watch also supports fitness coaching features. By analyzing the heart rate of users with scientific methods, this feature lets users exercise more safely and healthily than ever before.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The TruSeenTM 3.0 heart rate monitoring technology tracks the user’s active and resting heart rate. Combining innovative PPG optical and hardware design and AI algorithms, the solution can monitor the heart rate of users in real time with high precision. In Sport mode, the HUAWEI WATCH GT can be set up to notify users to adjust the intensity of their workout based on a pre-set target heart rate interval. In Rest mode, the smart watch automatically monitors and records the resting heart rate of users. The HUAWEI WATCH GT uses invisible lights to monitor the user&#8217;s heart rate during sleep, which is more intimate than other traditional methods.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><br />
</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">HUAWEI Band 3 Pro: A Sports Wristband with Full Touch Screen</span></p>
<p><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-217568" src="https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/HUAWEI-Band-3-Pro.png?x44794" alt="" width="694" height="434" srcset="https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/HUAWEI-Band-3-Pro.png 694w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/HUAWEI-Band-3-Pro-300x188.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 694px) 100vw, 694px" /></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><br />
</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">While smart wristbands on the market today often feature simple health monitoring functions, the lack of standardization made a lot of the data unsuitable for medical use. In view of that, Huawei launches HUAWEI Band 3 Pro, a new smart wristband supporting a range of precise and professional monitoring capabilities, including improved heart rate and sleep monitoring.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">With HUAWEI TruSeenTM3.0, HUAWEI Band 3 Pro accurately monitors the heart rate of a user throughout the day. Huawei also pioneered the use of IR (infrared) sensors to accurately track the user heart rate without using the obtrusive lights of conventional trackers.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Leveraging the same technology powering TruSeenTM 3.0, HUAWEI Band 3 Pro can also track sleep patterns with HUAWEI TruSleepTM2.0. Moreover, the solution uses big data analysis to provide personalized services and suggestions to improve sleep quality. All of the aforementioned technologies were developed by Huawei in collaboration with authoritative organizations around the world, ensuring that the wearables are highly functional and professional.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The HUAWEI Band 3 Pro features a 0.95-inch HD AMOLED color touchscreen that offers an expansive space to display data. The controls are easy and intuitive—users can navigate the various options on the screen by swiping vertically or horizontally, or by tapping the screen to return to Home.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The HUAWEI WATCH GT Sport, HUAWEI WATCH GT Classic and HUAWEI Band 3 Pro announced today in London come with a MSRP of €199, €249 and €99 respectively.</span></p>
