About this deal

The introduction of a 4,000mAh battery has obvious benefits, too. With the screen set to our standard 170cd/m2 brightness and flight mode engaged, we were able to watch 14hrs 35mins of video before battery levels fell flat – a better score than last year and similar stamina to the Galaxy S9 Plus.

"Huawei P20 Pro review: style and substance from an unlikely source". The Verge . Retrieved 2019-04-09. This resolution isn't all that obvious in the shots it takes, though. The Pixel 2 still takes clearer selfies with cleaner looking fine detail. It can handle the kind of scenes that make other phones curl up and cry, and even gives the excellent Pixel Night Sight a run for its money.

P20: Dual: 20 MP Monochrome ( f/1.6, 1/2.3", 1.55 µm, OIS) + 12MP RGB (f/1.8, 27mm), Leica optics, 2x optical zoom, phase detection and laser AF, dual-LED dual-tone flash At 1080p, though, the software stabilization is extremely effective. You can run along the road with the Huawei P20 Pro in your hands and the footage will still look pretty smooth.If that sounds a bit scary – and scariness is something Huawei should be hyper-aware of with its US reputation hanging in the balance – it's really not. It mostly just means when you're taking photos of a cat, the phone says "Hey! Cat!" and optimises the settings to get the best possible shot. Like other recent higher-end Huawei phones, the P20 Pro makes quite an impact with its highly reflective glass finish. And it has a much larger battery than most, 4,000mAh, without any obvious added bulk to the shell. There’s a set of grilles along the bottom of the P20 Pro, situated either side of the USB-C slot that conceals one of two speakers and the microphone. Similarly to HTC’s Hi-Fi BoomSound arrangement, this downward-facing speaker handles most of the heavy lifting when you’re enjoying media. Collectively the Pro’s audio capabilities are respectable; with clean, clear, powerful sound (for a smartphone) that only breaks down at the upper limits of its range. Noticeably absent is a 3.5mm headphone port – something to bear in mind if you’re not a fan of dongles (Huawei throws one in-box) or Bluetooth headphones.

There are a couple of threadson the XDA Developers forum that mention unprompted reboots. For one person, it was happening repeatedly in the Gallery app, but for others, it seems to be a bit more random when it occurs. The P20 Pro will suddenly shut down and restart itself with no apparent cause. This is an issue we’ve seen from time to time on a lot of different phones. However, the Samsung does a slightly better job of appearing to be 'all screen' front-on, because the Huawei's screen does not curve around at the sides. Only the glass does, and just the last millimeter or so at that. Sure enough, the test took 13% off the Huawei P20 Pro's battery that time. However, battery life is great whatever way you try to skew things. It's little wonder the Samsung Galaxy S10 range has proved so popular since its release in spring 2019. Comprising three models, the Galaxy S10 range boasts a hole-punch display, powerful hardware, and some outstandingly versatile camera tech. Try going to Settings > Display and changing Screen resolution from FHD+ to HD+ to see if that makes any difference.Apple’s current iPhones both streets ahead on this front, allowing owners to shoot 4K at a smooth 60fps fully stabilised. Huawei P20 Pro review: Verdict Using night mode, you can get ultra-dark shots with dynamic range and detail far in excess of most of this phone's rivals. To really test it, we put it up against an APS-C sensor FujiFilm X-T10 on a tripod. It needed an exposure of around 15 seconds to shoot at ISO 200.
