Huawei Mate 20, 20 Pro, and 20 X hands-on review

16 October 2018
The new Mate 20 and 20 Pro duo not only packs the first 7nm Android chipset - the cutting-edge Kirin 980 chip with a brand new NPU, but it also revamps the iconic Leica camera.

This is exactly what I need. IDK why you guys are still arguing over GENERIC benchmarks when actual usability is what really matters. After your CPU throttles it wouldn't matter anyways. What we really need in real world is a fast single core and a very efficient power draw.

It isn't ment for day to day use due to heating issues and excessive power consumption. 24/7 you will use NORMAL mode where phone scores barely 270k. Severe fail by HiSilicon & Huawei.

            Back in March the reported AnTuTu score of the M20P was around 350K, about 346K to be precise.

            But actually it's more like 7NM process but 10NM performance

            What a shame Huawei.

                  Indeed undoubtedly this phone is the best so fast this year. Well done Huawei. We seriously appreciate you and your untiring efforts of great research that are very much yielding. Now I have no doubt that your dream of coming to first position will come through. I will buy you be next year when they become available here.

                          The bar shot from the Mate 20 is astoundingly good.

                            Pixel are the most superior camera phone as at today.. Others brand, in order to beat pixel picture they all need 2/3 camera module.. This is the facts..

                                  tomorrow this time I will give you feedback how the stereo speakers sound with the type-c intagrated speaker. Phone is already in my country at the shops, but I just checked it Im too late for today. Will visit the shop tomorrow.

                                    In the bar shot, the pixel is clearly the winner if you consider details. Check out the strands on the top and the screen.

                                        why can't we have a 1440 screen on the Mate 20 and sacrifice it for the 3.5mm jack for the mate 20 pro???? This is BS!
