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.

Sort by:

Should I be concerned about how the Mate 20 series will perform with games, specifically Fortnite?

I mean, consider that the Honor Play has the top-shelf Kirin 970, but performance is stuttery whereas there's practically zero stutter on the Pocophone because it has the Snapdragon 845. (Reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qi0B2Li528U)

I'm worried that we'll see more of the same with the Mate 20 X and Pro (which will do battle the upcoming Mi Mix 3 which historically has had the best Qualcomm chipsets)...

    Thanks bro and i think it's better than s8

            It's nice that they have really big batteries. :) That's a plus.

All other man... moreThe monochrome camera by itself wasn't useful for everyone but it was very useful in keeping a high shutter speed under low light. While stacking a lot of 1/10s frames is great when the scene is static, it doesn't work well for moving objects. The P20 Pro/ xz2 premium will still rule when it comes to candid photos which require a reasonably fast shutter or videos where the framerate must exceed 24fps.

                If only it wasn't this ugly...

                        Why Nano card instead of SD card?

                        Simple. They dont want to compromise performance if some people use older slower class card. Try put SD card class 2/4 on your Mate 10, performance will decrease significantly. Nano card on the other hand, is UFS standard speed class card.

                        Yes, people will complains and just saying that just buy higher class card. The problem is, THERE ARE people that still using lower class sd card, and Huawei dont want to be blamed when their phone is stutter by customer fault. Its why iphone makes the decision in the 1st place.
