Huawei P20 Pro review

12 April 2018
Huawei was among the front-runners in the dual-camera race with the P9 and then the Mate 10, so who better to take things to the next level? The Huawei P20 Pro one-ups all current major players and comes with three cameras on its back, each unique in its own right.

Fluyid, 09 Aug 2018If you're calling iPhone a waste but what you don't realise... moreI agree with you. I used android in the past but after trying iOS I was amazed by its processing capability. And the money I spent from buying iPhone was never gone to waste. I would rather buy high price phone that will last for 4-5 years than to buy cheap phones that is only for maximum of 2 years

      So I recently purchased the Huawei p20 pro 2 days ago and idk I'm confused why my battery depletes faster than all the reviews I have seen online. I haven't een used it heavily at all. hardly any youtube streaming or net surfing but it drops to 30 percent by the end of the day. Also my phone gets really warm when I use the camera. Is this a manufacturing defect? I can still return it but I don't know if this is a problem or it's just me.

Apart from that, our processor (the A11 Bionic Chip) is still dominating the markets even after months from its release. You guys do have a better camera and that is something that I can agree to and also a better battery but what else is better? It's not better than the iPhone for gaming or anything else. Besides iPhones are also considered a fashion statement which is one of the reasons why they have a high price. And also the OS, compared to android, iOS is very optimised.

                  To all cyclists.
                  I got a huawei P20 recently.
                  No doubt its a good phone but my main use is Strava for cycling and Huwewi P20 has a problem and does not support Strava.
                  I would advise anyone using Strava not to buy this phone.
                  Samsung will never give you any problem with Strava.

                      If the camera is really PRO, should we expect to have full raw capability for each of the lens. We have only this feature for the 40Mpix lens, and third party apps cannot even access this feature through the system api, the monochrome and tele lens has a lot of undesired after processing effect (noise removing, sharpening). It would be nice to have full raw support for the 3x camera and the monochrome one. A switch in pro mode to select which camera we want to use, or provide a new downloadable camera profile.

                        hey, dual-glass design is more fragile, no Corning Gorilla Glass 5 protection how can it survive from drop off?
                        hey dual glass with flat back design is more slippery, why nobody talking here but all of them trolling on Sony threads?

                                To people complaining about the photo quality. Either your basing your views on someone else's opinions, or you are making assumptions.
                                I am currently living in China, for work, and their are Huawei shops literally everywhere. I have gone in and played with demo models on multiple occasions. The camera is incredible. (Can't vouch for the P20, because I always play with the Pro model)
                                The images are incredibly sharp, you can zoom FAR without much quality loss, and you can even zoom further, using the crop feature, after the fact. I have purposely tried to take photos to challenge the camera, and it does a great job. Definitely outshines the iPhone 8 and Samsung S8 that I have taken there to compare. I've noticed something with a lot of the negative reviews, with "proof". The photos that they are posting are WAY compressed, and limiting. Why get a 40MP camera in your phone, then compare a 6MP photo with the S9+?!? Of course a 6MP photo isn't going to be of the same quality as a 20MP photo. Up it to the 40MP, or at least the 20MP of the B&W lens, and see the camera shine! The AI works well in most scenarios, and if you don't like the result, turn it off and manually improve the photo. I am going to blame 98% of the negative comments on user error and a lack of knowledge in using the device. Every RARE once in a while, I will take a photo which has basically confused the AI and it isn't quite right.... but usually it is quite impressive.
