Is The Huawei Mate 20 Pro As Good As They Say?

2018-11-27
good not good good now this is the most requested device recently it's been all over my social media guys have been hitting me up on Twitter as usual in the comments Lu you're looking at so many smartphones where is the mate 20 pro this is like the grown-up like a scaled-up version of the p20 Pro which I used for a while had some really interesting features including that amazing night mode I can understand why you're interested in this device and that is why it is here today I have the Twilight version Twilight color six gigs of RAM and 128 gigs of storage according to the crack team which is just well do this thing's about 900 bucks so it's not a cheap device but now this remember is the Twilight color whoa purple blue reddish colors it's all represented in there does feature wireless charging it even has a cool feature where it can charge other devices that have wireless charging so could do reverse wireless charging you may have seen this in huawei's commercials for this device you've got 4200 milliamp hours in here you've got juice to spare sometimes link up sync up you can see the three cameras set up this is going to give you the same kind of crazy performance that you saw in the p20 probe but it's also going to add a wide-angle lens which I'm a big fan of this show is shot on a wide-angle lens it lets you get more in the frame that's kind of a nice move if you're gonna put a bunch of cameras give us a different focal length this colorful power switch kind of suits the theme with the Twilight look now some of you might be upset there's no headphone jack on a device I don't even know for crying about this thing anymore maybe maybe not it also features expandable storage as I mentioned earlier but it's a weird new format called nano storage something along those lines so those cards might be a little hard to get at least for now but it's it's expandable storage if you need it I mean it picks up fingerprints it's glass look at that already if you want put the clearcase on okay I don't know does it solve the problem not really maybe this just gets fingerprinted yeah then this just gets I don't know glass backs the supercharged power brick what 70% of juice in half an hour is that what it is will supercharged how fast is it that's why I said without this guy over there I mean let's just pack it in let's go do something else they included a headset type C headset with microphone also the adapter since you lost the mini jack whoo all right that's a display yes it's got a notch all right I noticed apparently this is not just housing the front-facing camera but also the face unlock tech the contrast and detail on this particular wallpaper my goodness that's pretty nice 3120 by 1440 is the resolution plenty of pixels there it's a six point three nine inch display with very little bezel I mean there's a bit of a chin there it's a lot of display and it's nice to look at I got to be honest now you're probably also noticed that there is no fingerprint scanner anywhere on the device we've seen this popping up on other devices including the recent oneplus device it's still an emerging concept but it actually works in those other cases surprisingly well in screen fingerprint here we go let's enroll it let's give this a shot real quick hmm edges get the edges in there Wow they take a ton of data on there hmm wait a minute Jack wait a minute that's one of the nicer ones for something I don't mind that one the animation feels satisfying for some reason it's not gonna be as fast as a capacitive scanner on the back of the device this is one of the better in screen ones that I've used and I could totally do that on a daily basis now the feature you care about if I go ahead and launch the camera app here you'll see yeah wow that is pretty wide so there's a slider here which controls your zoom all the way from point 6x on the wide end up to 10x not fisheye nothing distorted but you just get so much more into the frame this is 1x that's your standard focal range for me this is incredibly useful to go all the way to dare gives you so much more versatility on the camera side you have a portrait mode as well which is going to give you the bokeh effect that some people are super into wow that's a that's pretty wild the night mode is the magical part it's basically creating light out of dark everybody's super pumped about various night modes people are just doing magical things on the software side to take these multiple shots and create light where there wasn't any it's putting traditional photography out of business don't tell photographers that should we hit some lights there's the plant it's pitch black you can see on the frames you're looking at me it's pitch black you will have night vision actual detailed night vision in pitch black guys now yeah of course the the plant is not as saturated it's not the same quality as what you would get without having to shoot in pitch black but it's way better than what you would have captured otherwise you will be amazed at what you're able to produce in environments you never would have imagined taking photos before okay so we have sound learn it all firing trim oh wow so it's not a separate speaker grille the sound is firing from the USBC port yeah whoa I don't know if I've seen that before but not exclusively it's coming out of the earpiece as well I don't know hmm I know how it compares to the other stuff we've tested recently it's totally usable it's not the loudest that we've tested I think you'll be okay with it but it's not gonna be the loudest performer on the block so anyhow what can I say I don't know that people have so many questions about huawei the brand and of course their flagship devices got the fancy colors it's got the wireless charging they added the wide-angle lens which to me is an improvement over the p20 pro and of course you have the bigger battery here if you're a power user 4,200 milliamp hours the one consideration to make is if you are cross shopping this versus the note series device over here you don't have the s-pen now for me that's not such a big deal I didn't really use that pen so nonetheless I'm still on the pixel right now I need to figure out what I'm gonna switch to next we've talked about it a lot it's become sort of a meme you guys are down in the comments like who look who's switching again yeah I got a switch all the time how else am I gonna give you the feedback if it's a meme sure but it's a necessary meme when I wrap up and switch to my next device I'll give you all the feelings this device or the oneplus 60 or some other phone leave it in the comments down below I'm gonna take a quick glance through and hopefully it'll influence my next device and then the eventual feedback that you'll get from me from the extended usage through slipping the sim into that new device go ahead have fun with your memes I'll just be out here doing my job for you because it's what I do too much saliva you
