HUAWEI P20 Pro 128 GB 6.1-Inch FHD+ FullView Android 8.1 SIM-Free Smartphone, Single SIM, Black - UK Version

Product Information

Although the company hasn't established an iconic status like Samsung or Apple, Huawei has stealthily become a global smartphone giant. The black-and-white sensor aids in processing which helps to decrease noise and boost the dynamic range. And you can see the camera settings, colour profile change immediately to reflect what the camera believe is the best setting for that particular scene. But great battery life, top specs and some of the most compelling use of computational photography seen in a phone make the Huawei P20 Pro one of the most interesting handsets available.

So dark, in fact, that Huawei claims the P20 Pro can take decent images in lighting conditions of only 1 lux. Unlike the iPhone X, there's a sizeable bezel at the bottom of the display, with enough space for a home button underneath the screen. The Huawei P20 Pro isn't available in the US as the Chinese firm continues to work at a way to officially sell its products in the country, so if you're in the USA you'll have to import the handset yourself.

So, if you are all about taking stunning portraits or wowing Instagram contacts with scenic snaps, the P30 will be the better option. As you'd expect, Huawei has overhauled the Android compatibility of its latest P model phone, ensuring that your apps will work smoothly and securely. Breaking that down, it's 24MP for the front-facing camera, 8MP for the telephoto, a massive 40MP for the RGB, and 20MP for the monochrome.

The battery is compatible with 40W SuperCharge and 27W Wireless SuperCharge, meaning charging is quick and easy.If you are happy to spend a bit of time post process the photos yourself to extract the best image quality, you can also enable the RAW (DNG) output from the phone apps’s setting screen . If you are a casual photographer and normally not going to process the photos yourself or shoot in the manual Pro mode, P20 Pro’s Master AI does really help create nice looking photos, even if sometimes the AI result might be a bit too aggressive to my taste. When I heard the P20 Pro can shoot photo at ISO 102400, my initial thought was that it must be purely marketing gimmick, there is no way a small smartphone camera can take any useable photo at six digits or even five digits ISO. The edges are minimalized and the cut-out at the top, maximises the display area without compromising on functionality.

The cameras have consistently outperformed even more expensive competition – a major hook for everyday smartphone fans. Every year each smartphone manufacturer brings out their new flagship phone and normally each one comes with some small improvements. This is the world’s first smartphone with triple rear camera and also the camera that has a Dxomark Score of 109 when no other phone in the market has even reached 100. I was also quite skeptical of that and didn’t expect it to resolve much more details than the normal 10-12MP photo from typical smartphone. In general, the P20 Pro takes fantastic, detailed photos with great dynamic range even if you leave everything on Auto — the f/1.So let’s look at the centre 100% crop, the Nikon photo is sharper and the picture has better contrast and less CA. Contracts with merchants like Three or Carphone Warehouse will allow you to pick up a P30 without paying a large upfront outlay.

When it was released, the Huawei P20 Pro was the company's most powerful smartphone as well as its best for taking pictures. display even has a notch eating away at the screen at the top – although it’s roughly a third the size of Apple’s version – and the vertical camera arrangement on the rear has a ring of similarity about it as well.I'm happy to report that was undoubtedly sorted out in the refurbishment of this phone and it lasts splendidly; waking up at 7am, enduring light-medium use until I charge it at 1am the next morning at around 5%. Next generation colour sensors (RYYB as opposed to RGGB) claim to deliver 40% more light onto camera sensors, while AI auto-adjustment software and the Kirin processor work in tandem to adjust the camera settings for every single shot.
