HUAWEI P20 Pro

Huawei launched its latest flagship smartphone: the P20 Pro, the first smartphone to feature a triple camera setup. Like with previous top-of-the-line Huawei models, the camera has been developed in cooperation with Leica Camera. Inside the P20 Pro you'll find the primary rear camera 1/1.7- inch (7.4mm x 5.6mm) RGB sensor, which is approximately twice the size of the smaller sensors in most direct competitors and is designed to capture 20 per cent more light than most rivals.

P20 Pro's primary sensor also features a Quad Bayer structure with a total pixel count of 40MP (1µm pixels) however, Huawei extensively uses pixel binning in 2x2 pixel arrays, resulting in an effective resolution of 10MP and 2µm pixel pitch in most shooting modes, with better detail and lower noise.

The P20 Pro RGB sensor can operate independently or in combination with a high-resolution monochrome sensor. When working together, the two sensors provide depth estimation for the simulated bokeh effect, and improving detail and noise levels by merging multiple frame shots. To help with subjects in the distance, the P20 Pro also offers a third, dedicated telephoto camera.

This optically-stabilized camera offers a 3x zoom factor — approximately 80mm equivalent (to 35mm format) focal length - a significantly longer reach than the 2x zoom in the iPhone X and Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus.

Huawei P20 Pro is powered by Huawei's Kirin 970 chipset and 6GB of RAM, and offers a 4,000 mAh battery with quick charge and 128GB UFS 2.1 NAND internal storage.

Other photo features include phase detection, laser assisted AF and zero shutter lag. The smartphone can also the option to shoot up to ISO 102400.

On the GPU side the Mali G72MP12 at 746MHz powers graphics and 3D workloads.

The P20 Pro and P20 come with a major design overhaul that no longer bares any similarity to the P10 line or past Huawei devices.

Key features of the HUAWEI P20 Pro

An advanced camera system to capture more light, more details and more beauty, featuring a revolutionary Leica triple camera and 5x Hybrid Zoom on the HUAWEI P20 Pro, and a Leica dual camera on the HUAWEI P20; Innovative photography features, including Master AI with AI-driven professional photography and HUAWEI AIS (AI Image Stabilization), a powerful AI stabilization technology; A timeless design with barely-there bezels and all-new gradient colors; Ultimate performance, featuring the NPU on Kirin 970 and EMUI 8.1 based on Android™ 8.1 for a premium and smooth user experience. Huawei also unveiled the PORSCHE DESIGN HUAWEI Mate RS (Race Sport). Continuing its collaboration with the exclusive luxury brand, the PORSCHE DESIGN HUAWEI Mate RS features Porsche Design’s signature functional design language and Huawei’s cutting-edge technology and craftsmanship.

An Exquisite Combination of Art and Technology

The HUAWEI P20 Series features a striking, fashion-forward aesthetic. Most notably, the HUAWEI P20 and HUAWEI P20 Pro come in all-new, exclusive, fashionable colors, Twilight and Pink Gold, achieved by applying several layers of NCVM* optical coatings underneath the glass back, so light hitting the surface refracts and creates a vivid, yet gradual change of hue. The HUAWEI P20 and HUAWEI P20 Pro are also available in Black and Midnight Blue.

HUAWEI P20 Pro feature 6.1-inch screen, ultra-thin bezels and impressive screen-to-body ratios for better viewing experiences with more on-screen information, whether reading or gaming. The HUAWEI FullView Display seamlessly blends with rounded edges, making the device comfortable to hold.

Inspired by Light and Technology, a Stunning Device Designed for Every Photographer

The HUAWEI P20 Series reflects the art of light, with camera features that enhance the smartphone photography experience. The HUAWEI P20 Pro features a Leica triple camera with the highest total pixel count on a smartphone available in the market – the camera configuration is comprised of a 40MP RGB sensor, a 20MP monochrome sensor and an 8MP sensor with telephoto lens. It also features a color temperature sensor for better color reproduction. With f/1.8, f/1.6 and f/2.4 wide aperture to capture crisp, clear details, the HUAWEI P20 Pro also includes a brand new Leica 3x telephoto (VARIO-SUMMILUX-H 1:1.6-2.4/27-80ASPH) lens for long-range photography of up to 5x Hybrid Zoom. The HUAWEI P20 Pro’s highly sensitive image sensor captures low light photos with up to ISO 102400.

The HUAWEI P20 builds on its predecessor’s foundation with a Leica dual camera featuring a 12MP lens with a pixel size as high as 1.55 μm, and a 20MP monochrome lens, enhancing the HUAWEI P20’s ability to capture photos in low-light settings.

The HUAWEI P20 Series devices support six-axis stabilization and 960fps super slow motion, which is 4x higher than the standard 240fps and captures details that cannot be seen with the naked eye. With Ultra Snapshot mode, the devices can capture an image in as little as 0.3 seconds by just double clicking the down volume button, even from an off screen.

Master AI Photography Experience for Everyone, Everywhere

With the Kirin 970 processor, the HUAWEI P20 Series automatically identifies more than 500 scenarios in 19 categories and selects photography modes and camera settings to deliver incredible, professional-looking images – even for novice photographers. In addition, HUAWEI AIS steadies handheld night shots for incredible long exposure images without a tripod. Brand new to Huawei’s advanced camera system is 4D predictive focus. In this mode, the camera predicts moving objects and focuses on them with extreme efficiency to capture minute details of objects in motion. In addition, the HUAWEI P20 Series features AI-Assisted Composition, providing intelligent suggestions to frame group shots and landscapes.

The HUAWEI P20 and HUAWEI P20 Pro feature a 24MP selfie camera** with AI beautification and 3D portrait lighting – the result is beautiful selfies with healthy-looking skin tone adjustments, delicately outlined facial details and realistic 3D feature enhancements.

Additionally, the HUAWEI HiAI Ecosystem enhances a variety of app experiences. For instance, the HUAWEI P20 Series includes on-device Prisma processing, which supports real-time filter recommendations based on scene and object recognition – the calculation speed is three to four times that of the cloud version.

In partnership with Google, the HUAWEI P20 Series supports Google ARCore delivering advanced AR capabilities.
