The Mate series is also a longstanding Huawei lineup, starting with the Ascend Mate 7 launched in 2014, followed by the Mate 8, Mate 9, and Mate 10 series. And they all have a classy design, High-end and large screens over 6 ″. The Mate series is a high-end phone for those who need a versatile, polite phone that acts as a helper just like its name Mate! Huawei Mate 20 Pro is equipped with the all-new HiSilicon Kirin 980 SoC, a solid fingerprint sensor under the screen. Cluster 3 cameras with great parameters that we will find out shortly below. However, all of that is still just data on paper! Does the Huawei Mate 20 Pro really deliver the ultimate user experience and does it serve as a good assistant? Let’s take a look at the Huawei Mate 20 Pro through this review.
Design of Huawei Mate 20 Pro
The case is made of a thin metal frame sandwiched between two Corning Gorilla Glass 5 panels. Currently, the Mate 20 Pro is available in emerald green (emerald green), midnight blue, twilight purple, black and pink gold. Currently, Huawei does not sell the Pink Gold version worldwide. With the blue version, Huawei designed with thin diagonal lines called Hyper Optical Patterns that have a pretty good light effect.
The Huawei Mate 20 Pro is about 2.7 mm longer than the Mate 10 Pro and 0.5 mm thicker. The device looks thinner even though both sides are curved inward, almost identical to the Samsung Galaxy S9, and feels quite arm-hugging. The Mate 20 Pro has a metal frame design that is quite similar to the Galaxy Note 9, the frame at the top and bottom is thick and tapered when switching sides. As a result, the back glass and the front glass surface are curved and he is close to the thin frame, creating a coherence and smoothness in the design, not causing a lot of hands.
Mate 20 Pro screen 6.39 ″ with a rabbit ear design is very similar to the iPhone X because the width of the notch is almost equal but less than 1 mm thinner. The side bezels are very thin and the lower chin is equally thin, resulting in a phablet over 6 size that fits perfectly in the palm of the hand but is long. To make a curved screen embracing bezels, Huawei uses an OLED panel.
Large camera cluster, placed in a square with 3 cameras and a large dual-tone LED flash arranged in 4 balanced circles, integrated a metal frame inside the case to protect the camera’s glass from being scratched. . A slightly different appearance is the LED flash position on the camera cluster of the Mate 20 Pro located in the left corner compared to the Huawei Mate 20 located on the right. This camera system is also designed with the advice of Leica, so right on this camera cluster there are words Leica and specifications.
Mate 20 Pro only has 1 USB-C port located on the bottom edge, no 3.5mm headphone jack and no speaker hole too! Huawei says the device is still equipped with 2 stereo speakers: one is located at the front speaker and the other is still on the bottom of the device, but the output will go through the USB-C port. It is quite strange because Huawei says the Mate 20 Pro is IP68 water resistant and it is not clear how it still ensures water resistance at the USB-C port, while helping the sound come out from this port. At the top edge of the Mate 20 Pro there is a mic and an infrared sensor. The bottom edge has 2 more mic and SIM slot.
Software of Huawei Mate 20 Pro
Huawei has outfitted the Mate 20 Pro EMUI 9.0, a customized version of Android 9.0 Pie. EMUI 9.0 has slightly different visual tweaks from stock Android, but Huawei promises that its latest operating system will be up to 47% faster than EMUI 8.2 and 51% faster when loading apps. Huawei has also downplayed the menu options, down from 940 in EMUI 8.2 to 843.
Huawei’s standard on-screen button arrays are shown by default, but they can be hidden for more screen space if you wish. Huawei has also provided gesture controls, much like the ones the iPhone XS uses.
Performance
The Mate 20 Pro is the first smartphone to use the HiSilicon Kirin 980 SoC, manufactured by Huawei on the 7nm FinFET process. The Kirin 980 is currently a highly regarded SoC as it has the first several: SoC is produced on the first 7 nm process, SoC with LTE Cat integrated. First 21, Soc integrates the first 2 NPUs for AI processing …
Not only strong in pure computing power, Kirin 980 also integrates the most powerful Mali-G76 MP10 graphics processor from ARM to date as well as supports very high speed RAM.
In terms of performance scores, the machine performed very well. Especially the GPU performance score, it comfortably surpasses the Snapdragon 845. However, in terms of GPU performance you will see that the Mali-G76 MP10 cannot beat the Adreno 630 equipped on the Snapdragon 845.
