Huawei Mate 20 Pro Honest Review: After 15 days

The Huawei Mate 20 Pro is I believed the most talked about smartphone of 2018. It has won the hearts of many reviewers and it even won the blind smartphone camera test. It is boasted of cutting-edge photography features that include variable aperture cameras, triple rear camera setups, and AI-assisted photo processing. I like the trendsetting gradient of the Mate 20 Pro Twilight version.


Since I have small-sized hands, I also like the way I can grip the Huawei Mate 20 Pro in my hands. Plus it helps that the screen is curved as well.

I like the Facial unlock, because I would often raise up the device to check if someone messaged me and most of the time it was already unlocked and ready to use; even before I got the prompt for the fingerprint scanner.

As a hobbyist photographer, I've been a fan of Huawei's for mobile photography. Huawei wowed me with the triple camera setup of the P20 series.

I still have to do more deep exploration with this device. For now, check out the photos captured using the Huawei Mate 20 Pro.
