HUAWEI Mate 20 Pro 128 GB 6.39-Inch 2K FullView Android 9.0 SIM-Free Smartphone with New Leica Triple AI Camera, Single SIM, UK Version - Twilight

Product Information

Not really any more so than the likes of the Samsung Galaxy S9 or Sony Xperia XZ3, but in line with them, which is especially worth noting as many Huawei flagships only have 1080p displays.

Huawei has really committed itself to checking off every wishlist item you can think of with the Mate 20 Pro. I'm based in Chicago with my lovely wife, amazing son, and silly cats, and my writing about games, gadgets, esports, apps, and plenty more has appeared in more than 75 publications since 2006. The Mate 20 Pro also has 6GB of RAM and dual NPUs (neural processing units), so there’s plenty of power all round. If you have the phone set to vibrate only, you can only fit the battery, time and vibrate symbol in the right side. The Huawei Mate 20 Pro isn’t the best overall Android smartphone, but some aspects of it are indeed the best anyone can get right now.The speed and responsiveness of the Mate 20 Pro are iPhone-like, with apps launching quickly, the camera exhibiting zero delay, and gesture animations displaying smoothly and fluidly. That’s obviously not ideal for a comfortable grip, and I find myself wishing for the Pixel 3 XL’s doughier sides. The Mate 20 Pro supports both fast charging and wireless charging and, weirdly, also lets you use the phone as a wireless charger for other devices.

It's a neat idea, though whether you'll feel generous enough to donate your own power to a friend who's running low is a question you'll need to answer for yourself. The Mate 20 Pro packs in a massive 4,200mAh battery pack, which is a smidge more capacity than the 4,000mAh cell in the P20 Pro… although the larger, higher-resolution screen seems to suck up all of that additional power. Its display was considered comparable to Samsung's Galaxy Note 9, but felt that the symmetry of its front and rear curves affected ergonomics.It’s incredibly solid, smooth and well built, but at 189g is still surprisingly light and manageable compared to the 208g iPhone XS Max and 201g Samsung Galaxy Note 9. It'll even transmit a presentation from phone to screen wirelessly, making it a great choice as a work phone.
