- [Saf] What's up guys, Saf here on SuperSaf TV and today
we'll be unboxing the Huawei Mate 20 Pro,
the latest and greatest device from Huawei
and thanks to Huawei for sponsoring this video.
Starting off with the unboxing experience
as well as the device, you do get some paperwork,
a soft clear case which is nice,
a sim card ejector tool, USB Type-C earphones,
a USB Type-C to 3.5mm converter,
a USB Type-A to USB Type-C cable
and finally a large power brick.
Now the reason this is large is
because it supports Huawei's new 40 Watt supercharge,
which will give you around 70% charge in just 30 minutes.
Very impressive considering the Mate 20 Pro
has a massive 4200 mAh battery.
The biggest battery I've ever used on a smartphone,
and this should keep you going all day long and some more.
Also a side note, I do have the 2 pin plug,
because mine is a review edition from the EU,
but the UK version will come with a 3 pin UK plug.
Let's get to the Mate 20 Pro now,
and the first thing you'll notice
is the premium build and design.
We got a metal frame with curved glass panels on the front
and back and the Mate 20 Pro comes in five colors,
Black, Pink Gold, Twilight,
which we initially saw on the P20 Pro,
and two new colors, Emerald Green and Midnight Blue.
The two new color options
have a unique hyper optical pattern,
which looks really slick
and isn't going to attract fingerprints
as much as plain glass backs.
There's also less slippery in the hand
and I'm personally digging the Midnight Blue version,
which will be the one I get for sure.
We have IP68 water and dust resistance,
which is nice of course
and we have a very different looking camera setup.
It's a 4 point rearrangement,
with a flash and triple Leica cameras.
So unlike previous times, there is no monochrome sensor
and all three cameras have an individual purpose.
There's a Primary 40 megapixel camera with an f1.8 aperture,
then we have an 8 megapixel telephoto camera,
which has an f2.4 aperture and optical image stabilization.
This is going to give you three times optical zoom
and five times hybrid zoom,
which is a combination of optical and digital zoom
and it seems to work really well
and finally we have an ultra wide 20 megapixel camera,
with an f2.2 aperture, which will be ideal for landscapes
and situations where you need to get more into your shots.
You can switch between these manually within the camera app
and the built in master AI 2.0 will suggest using
the ultra wide camera depending on what it sees.
We still have a portrait mode,
which will blur the background of your shots
and a night mode for low light photography.
First impressions are very positive
and I'm really looking forward
to spending more time with these cameras,
definitely let me know in the comments below
which smartphone you'd like me
to compare this to SuperSaf style.
Now let's have a look at the front.
There's a large 6.39 inch Amoled HDR display,
with a Quad HD+ resolution and minimal bezels.
It's bright, sharp, vibrant and although there's a notch,
you can easily hide this within the software settings.
Inside this notch is the earpiece,
which is also one of the two stereo speakers.
A 24 megapixel front facing camera, with an f2.0 aperture
and lots of sensors for the 3D face unlock.
I did quick test on, it's very fast indeed,
but in addition the face unlock,
you also have an in screen fingerprint scanner.
This is the first in screen fingerprint scanner I've tested,
it works surprisingly well
and it's so convenient having this right on the display.
Taking a look around the device,
on the right hand side there's a volume rocker
and a power button, nothing on the left,
a secondary mic and an IR blaster on the top.
Great to see that Huawei still include this,
something we don't see much of these days.
And at the bottom there's a primary mic,
USB Type-C inputs and sim card tray.
Now you might be wondering, where is the speaker grill?
Well it's actually within the USB port,
something I've not seen before.
I'm going to have to spend more time with the device
to see how good the speakers are.
And the sim card tray has space for one nano sim card
and also a nano SD card.
This is a new type of SD card,
which is smaller than a micro SD card
and around the same size of a nano sim card,
so you can expand the storage on the Mate 20 Pro,
but you'll have to get this new type of card.
The Mate 20 Pro does come
with 128 Gigabytes of base storage, however
and 6 Gigabytes of RAM.
And of course it's powered by the Kirin 980 processor,
which should have up to a 20% speed improvement
and up to a 40% power efficiency improvement
compared to last year.
For software, you've got Android Pie, with EMUI 9.0
and Huawei have cleared things up
and reduced settings by up to 10%,
and you now have faster app launch times,
along with GPU turbo for high stability
and power efficiency when gaming.
Finally the Mate 20 Pro
does support 15 Watt wireless charging,
this is twice as fast as the standard
on many wireless charging enabled devices.
But we also have a new feature,
which I've not seen anywhere else,
reverse wireless charging.
This is seriously cool,
you can essentially use your Mate 20 Pro
to wirelessly charge someone else's device
by just resting the two together.
So say for instance,
you're out with a friend and they need a top up,
they can place their phone onto yours
and wirelessly charge their battery.
Very, very cool indeed.
Now along with the Mate 20 Pro,
Huawei have also launched their regular Mate 20
and this has a lot of the same features as the pro,
but with a 6.53 inch LCD HDR display
that has a full HD+ resolution and a small Dewdrop notch,
a smaller 4000 mAh battery, IP53 water and dust resistance,
4 gigabytes of RAM, a back fingerprint scanner,
supercharge but not as fast as the 40 Watt supercharge
on the pro and a similar triple Leica camera setup,
but with lower megapixels for the primary
and ultra wide cameras.
In terms of pricing and availability,
the Mate 20 Pro will be retailing at 899 pounds in the UK
and coming on the 26th of October,
if you are interested in picking one up
or finding out more,
I'll be leaving a link in the description below.
And that is the Huawei Mate 20 Pro unboxing,
