About this deal

There’s also 3D live emojis using the front-facing camera to mimic your expressions in cutesy characters just like Apple’s Animoji. Both models utilise the Kirin 980 system-on-chip, an octa-core SoC featuring Cortex-A76 and Cortex-A55 CPU cores, Mali-G76 MP10 GPU, and a pair of AI accelerators. It’s a powerful smartphone with three rear cameras and a distinct yet reserved style, but its bold signature is a handful of neat tricks (like an in-screen fingerprint sensor) that are finally coming to mainstream phones. The loss of detail is more noticeable at this extra level of digital zoom, but even so, the shots are still crisp enough for a Facebook or Instagram post.

I wasn’t particularly wowed by this fingerprint reader, which is nowhere near as fast as the more conventional ones Huawei puts in its other devices, but it’s still good and accurate enough. These specs are about on par with other flagship smartphones, though the Kirin 980 is speedier than Snapdragon 845 which first appeared in a phone earlier in March. The phone comes with 128 GB internal storage, which can be expanded -- not through a conventional microSD card but instead via Huawei's own NM card.This means that you could potentially charge up your friend's ailing iPhone or give your wireless buds a boost. The top tier of the smartphone market requires differentiation, and Huawei chose to let its cameras do the talking.

While this may give its predecessor the edge on low-light and nighttime shots, the Mate 20 Pro is no slouch there, and you’ll love having the option to ‘zoom out’ with the ultra-wide. The last two hues, Emerald Green and Midnight Blue, have something else: an ever-so-slightly textured back. By default, output from "quad pixels" on the P20 Pro's 40-megapixel sensor is pixel binned into 10-megapixel photos ("Light Fusion", similar to Nokia PureView's "pixel oversampling"), which is used to improve image quality and the brightness of low-light images, or for intentional monochrome photography. It also has dual-SIM support, though you can’t use a second SIM card and a nano memory card at the same time.If you find the notch hideous, you can hide it with an effect that shifts the ‘ears’ into dark mode, which decently simulates a full black bar at the top. It has a variable bit rate (between 279kbps and 420kbps), which means it can adjust the bit rate for different scenarios, such as listening to HD audio or reducing interference from other devices. I think had it not been for the sanctions, and if Huawei still made phones, they'd surpass Samsung at some point. This works similarly to Apple’s Face ID and is better than many other facial recognition solutions as it maps your face in 3D, rather than using a 2D image.
