Huawei Mate 20 Pro

KUCHING: Huawei’s latest Mate 20 Series, which includes the Huawei Mate 20 and the Huawei Mate 20 Pro, boast the latest performance and processing technology available in the smartphone market today.

Powered by Huawei’s densest and highest performing system on chip (SoC) to date – the Kirin 980, the SoC offers improved performance and an unprecedented smooth user experience.

Both models also showcase a Matrix Camera System which includes Leica Ultra Wide Angle Lens that lets users not only see wider, but also closer with its new macro distance capability.

The Hyper Optical Pattern on the glass back plays with light and shadows, producing an iridescent optical effect that is immediately captivating. The Matrix Camera System adopts the iconic Four-Point Design.

Compared to Kirin 970, the latest chipset is equipped with CPU that is 75 per cent more powerful, GPU that is 46 per cent more powerful and NPU that is 226 per cent more powerful.

Furthermore, the efficiency of the components has also been elevated: the CPU is 58 per cent more efficient, GPU is 178 per cent more efficient, and the NPU is 182 per cent more efficient. The Kirin 980 is the world’s first commercial SoC to use the Cortex-A76-based cores.

Meanwhile, the Huawei Mate 20 Pro is the world’s first smartphone to support the 4.5G LTE Cat. 21 standard, allowing consumers to experience download speeds of up to 1.4Gbps.

It also supports the world’s fastest Wi-Fi connection speeds–2GB footage requires only 10 seconds to download.

The top-end flagship also supports dual-band (L1+L5) GPS positioning technology. The AI GPS Satellite Selection technology enhances the positioning accuracy across a wide range of scenarios.

Besides superb performance, the Huawei Mate 20 Series also features groundbreaking improvement on battery life.

The Huawei Mate 20 Pro houses a large, high-density 4200mAh battery, and supports 40W Huawei SuperCharge, which gives the device 70 per cent charge in 30 minutes.

Building on the foundation of Huawei P20 Series’ camera system, Huawei augmented the Huawei Mate 20 with a powerful addition—16mm Leica Ultra Wide Angle Lens. This wider perspective creates a sense of spaciousness and a three dimensional effect to the images.

The new camera system also supports macro distance, which produces crisp images of objects that are placed as close as 2.5cm from the lens. The added ultra-wide angle lens and macro support completes the feature set of the camera system, elevating it to a truly all-round camera that is ready to capture any and all action.

The Huawei Mate 20 Pro is equipped with a 40MP main camera, a 20MP ultra wide-angle camera, and an 8MP telephoto camera. Together, the trio of lenses supports a wide range of focal lengths (equivalent to the performance of a 16-270mm zoom lens), enabling it to mimic the results from professional cameras.

The Huawei Mate 20 Series also features an AI Portrait Colour video mode.

Using AI, the Huawei Mate 20 Series can isolate human subjects and desaturate the colours around them to dramatically highlight the person.

AI Spotlight Reel identifies clips with a shared theme and auto-generates a montage, made entirely of highlights.

The Huawei Mate 20 Series comes with EMUI 9.0, a smart operating system based on Android P.

Through AI self-learning algorithms, an integrated and granular resource allocation system, and a highly optimised Android environment, EMUI 9 delivers an ‘evergreen’ experience—it remains smooth even through extended use.

EMUI 9.0 incorporates a unified, ergonomic design and a streamlined settings menu. The new gesture navigation support allows users to effortlessly interact with their devices using just taps and swipes.

It also introduces new AI features that enable the Huawei Mate 20 Series to perform or enhance a range of tasks from object identification to food calorie counting12 .

Using 3D Live Object Modeling, consumers can even create a fun digital avatar to dance or interact with.

The Huawei Mate 20 and the Huawei Mate 20 Pro are now available in Malaysia through Huawei’s authorised retailers while major telecommunication companies are also offering attractive packages and cost-saving plans for its customers.
