The Huawei Mate 20 series has released a total of three main models, namely the Mate 20, Mate 20 Pro, and Mate 20 X. The Mate 20 and Mate 20 Pro are the lower and higher specs of the series, and the Mate 20 X is the model with a large screen and a large battery in the series. These three models all use Huawei's latest flagship SoC Kirin 980, the hardware and parameters are not the same, the difference is mainly reflected in the screen, camera, battery and some specific functions, it can be said that there are three completely different models, among which the model that can afford the flagship is the Mate 20 Pro.
 
The exterior design of the Mate 20 series is very recognizable, because there are three cameras and a flash on the rear, Huawei places them in a box, giving people a first impression that really looks like a bath bomb, and after a series of exposure and promotion in the early stage, by the time the real machine is released, everyone is already used to it, although it is still not "good-looking", but it will not be too inconsistent.
 
The Mate 20 series has released 5 colors, namely sapphire blue, emerald , cherry pink gold, gloss black, and aurora color, and only the back panel of sapphire blue and emerald uses a yellow light etching process, which is very effective in both anti-fingerprint and anti-slip, and the feel is also very delicate, it is recommended to give preference to these two colors.
 
In terms of fuselage, Mate 20 is known as a 3D eight-curved glass body, that is, the 8 sides of the front and rear sides are all designed with 3D curved surfaces, this design can make the middle frame very thin, and the grip is more fitting, although the width is about the same as that of iPhone XS Max, but when the screen is swiped left and right, Mate 20 Pro will be easier and more suitable for long-term holding.
 
The screen of Mate 20 Pro is a 6.39-inch flexible curved Quad HD OLED screen, with a resolution of 3120×1440, RGB-Delta arrangement, 538PPI is converted into more than 430PPI, and there are currently two suppliers, namely BOE BOE and LG, mainly BOE. The bangs at the top are thicker because they contain elements of 3D structured light, and the bezels on both sides are thin enough to have a weak presence under the refraction of curved surfaces, and the chin is quite narrow.
 
The Mate 20 Pro's 3D structured light can project 30,000 light points, which is very fast to unlock and does not require the action of swiping up the screen, but after testing by AndroidPit in Germany, two editors who look similar can unlock the Mate 20 Pro at the same time, so it is not recommended to pay for face on the Mate 20 Pro. 8 128The version supports under-screen fingerprint unlocking,There are more entries for fingerprint unlocking,But the unlocking speed is fast enough,The requirements for unlocking posture are not high,The fingerprint unlock position is slightly higher than that of other flagship machines,Unlocking is also more natural,Because of the abrasion unlock,So it can also be unlocked flat on the desktop。
 
Under normal circumstances, this screen performs very well, sRGB covers the color gamut in standard mode 100%, the average DeltaE is 3.9, the highest DeltaE is 5.8, in vivid mode, the P3 color gamut covers 99.1%, the average DeltaE is 5.2, the highest DeltaE is 7.5, and the delicacy of the picture is also very good.
 
The shortcomings of this screen still exist,For example, in the case of white background or low brightness,Both sides of the screen will even be mostly green,The screen itself will also have a visible color shift to the naked eye on the green pattern,As for the severity, it depends on the luck of consumers,So far,LG's screen will have a high probability of greening,And BOE's performance is much better。 Because Huawei mixes the screens of LG and BOE, so consumers have no way to decide which manufacturer to get, and the solution given by Huawei is: as long as the phenomenon of green screen is detected, you can change the phone, and change it until there is no green screen. This approach doesn't solve the problem at the root, but for consumers, there is finally an explanation.
 
When playing videos, the colors of this screen will be more vivid than those of the iPhone XS Max, but the degree of restoration is average, and even some details in the dark parts of the screen will be lost. The common problem of mistouching the curved screen also exists, and it will be more common when the index finger is needed for support.
 
The SoCs of the Mate 20 series are all Kirin 980, which consists of two A76 large cores, two A76 medium cores, and four A55 small cores. Compared with the Kirin 970, this SoC has a big improvement, mainly in the CPU part, the single-core performance score is still lower than the Samsung Exynos 9810, but it exceeds the Snapdragon 845, and the multi-core performance part is ahead of the 9810 and Snapdragon 845. As for the improvement of the GPU part, it is not so obvious, 980 uses ARM's Mali-G76 MP10, compared with Kirin 970's Mali-G72 MP12 has a considerable improvement, but because the GPU part is the short board of 970, so even if 980 is improved, compared to Snapdragon 845 GPU, 980 There is still a certain gap.
 
The three cameras of the Mate 20 Pro are the IMX600 with 40 million pixels, the IMX318 with 8 million pixels for triple telephoto and the OV08A10 with a wide angle of 20 million pixels, and the 40 million pixel main camera outputs 10 million pixels by default without optical image stabilization. Due to the excellent performance of the P20 Pro, the Mate 20 Pro did not participate in the DxO Mark evaluation, but the performance is still at the level that Huawei's flagship phone should have.
 
The daytime sample is similar to the P20 Pro, with very strong sharpening and smearing, but the default is only 10 million pixels, which is slightly weaker than the 12 million pixel model, and in high-contrast scenes, the Mate 20 Pro's imaging is more vivid, while the iPhone XS Max is more reproductive, as for which orientation is better, there is no conclusion at present, it depends on the user's preference. When it comes to the night scene, the advantages of the Mate 20 Pro become obvious, because the sensor is larger, the amount of light is more sufficient, the noise suppression is better than the iPhone XS Max, and the details are richer.
 
In terms of battery life, the Mate 20 Pro uses a 4200mAh large battery, which is not at all stressful for a day of heavy use, and the original factory also comes with a 40w charging head, which can reach 36w stable power in the screen-off state, and the output of about 22w in the bright screen state, and the battery life and charging speed are among the best in the flagship model.
