Huawei P20 Pro Expert Review Summary

Design and display: a thing of beauty
+
Even before the launch, the leaked Twilight hue of the P20 and P20 Pro gathered a lot of eyeballs. Sadly, the brand hasn't launched the unique gradient-based version of the smartphone in the Indian market. Still, the smartphone does manage to catch your attention, all thanks to screen dominating the fascia and the shiny glass panel at the rear along with the vertically-aligned triple cameras.

Cameras: 1, 2, 3… action

Huawei and Leica go back a long way. The Chinese brand partnered with the iconic German camera major back in 2016 for the launch of the Huawei P9, which offered dual cameras with RGB and monochrome sensors. While the P10 (review) continued with a similar setup, the P20 Pro takes that several notches above. Not only does the smartphone come with a pair of cameras to capture colour and monochrome info, it also offers an additional telephoto lens. But that's not all, Huawei's latest also aims to impress by offering a high-res 40MP f/1.8 primary sensor for capturing in RGB – matching up to yesteryear's 41MP-toting Nokia 808 PureView and Lumia 1020. The monochrome f/1.6 shooter is rated at 20MP, while the telephoto shooter has an 8MP sensor and an aperture of f/2.4. Apart from the powerful array of camera sensors, the smartphone also comes with a spate of features to enhance the photography experience – 4D predictive focus (using a combination of laser, phase, contrast and deep focus), support for ISO levels of as high as 102,000 and Light fusion tech (which offers impressive images in low light).

Hardware and software: the speed head
+
Huawei was the first brand to introduce a dedicated chip for processing AI tasks with the HiSilicon Kirin 970. The octa-core processor comes with a clock speed of 2.36GHz along with an NPU (Neural Processing Unit). The flagship SoC has already proved its mettle with the Honor View10 (review) and ensures powerful performance, while being battery efficient. Coupled with 6-gigs of RAM, the smartphone offers lag-free usage even when multiple apps are running in the background. Unfortunately though, the Mali-G72 graphics engine doesn't seem to be able to keep up with the games like PUBG. Not only there are visible frame drops, but the device gets noticeably hot as well.

If I have to sum it up in one line, the Huawei P20 Pro is the brand's strongest show yet, and is leaving no stone unturned to stand out amidst the competition. While its Leica-powered triple-camera setup will be the talking point, the smartphone comes in a stunning glass-sandwich design, offers a gorgeous display, and is equipped with loaded internals as well as a powerful battery.
