Huawei Mate 20 Pro / Leica Camera

Recommended Posts

I recently attended a conference. My colleague was trying to take photos with her iPhone (don't know which version, but a newer one for sure). My photos were so much faster to capture (important because presenters can just skim through slides), and super sharp (Huawei does post capture sharpening, which works very well). Also, it can detect text on the slides and use a special algorithm to sharpen it more for legibility.

 

Truly happy with the photo taking capabilities. I ended up sending all the captured images to my friend with the Apple device (she had to eat crow and ask me lol). [laugh]

 

While technical improvements in camera sensors have improved over the last ten years, and lenses (to a far lesser degree). The biggest jump has been software.

 

Yeah now text in photos -> transcribe to word documents etc are all possible. Pretty amazing though i don't use any of it haha

I went to primary 1 talk recently, the teacher was telling us about this android free app to help reading for children.

You can take a photo of the word in a book (for non native english speakers), and it will give u the correct pronunciation in audio. How cool is that haha

 

It's what MKBHD calls the era of computational photography.

By right, iOS and the A7 chip in the newest iphones should be blazing fast. Even faster than the huawei.

 

Don't think any iphone will lag just taking normal photos. even bursts though that has something to do with RAM buffering. But iOS is so lean and mean, that it shouldn't have problem even with burst shots

Oh I wanted to mention that my quoted battery life was on forced WQHD+ screen resolution. On Smart resolution (default) it should be much better.

welcome to the huawei family.  [laugh]

 

phones come with 2 years warranty.

 

I'm contemplating between Mate 20 Pro or Mate X or even P20 pro which my wife is currently using.

 

myself is P10 Pro

i'm buying the phone via recontract..

if i recall correctly, there will be a PC show in March.

Hopefully, i can get to recontract my mobile along with broadband.

 

currently it goes like this. 

mysim(e)70, $288 for m20x

reg, $318

 

mysim(e)70, $288 for m20 pro

I'm a mysim20 user.

Based on the mobilesq prices, the m20x one looks a worse deal cos it's cheaper by 80 dollars.

after using huawei phone for almost 2 years, base on p10 pro..

 

reviews are:

pretty good, durable.

battery life is kinda poor..

phone get really hot, when you play PUBG with high resolution, to the extent, it will auto kick you out of the game..

Apps tend to hang and laggy..

 

probably will send to service center for a good repair before the warranty expires.

I use the Ringke Fusion X which is (supposedly) a military grade drop tested rugged case. I prefer this to other rugged cases because the back has a large clear window to see the beautiful twilight finish on the back. The front is protected from a fall on a flat surface by protuberant bezels top and bottom. But doubt it'll protect from a fall on an uneven surface or something like a thin bar.

 

Anyway, no tempered glass yet. Already got a couple fine scratches on mine. Probably because I'm wearing out my oleophobic layer with daily alcohol wipes, but it's a must with my job.

 

Did yours come with a wireless charging pad? Mine didn't, but mine wasn't a telco set.

Thanks. Probably can shortlist this too. But design wise, Spigen so far looks the most sleek. I got mine at $950 with wireless charger. It's one of those M1 telco set but sold by used mobile phone shop.

Buy on contract or off contract is the same la. 

 

Unless you got cashflow problems or company paying for your plan.

The room lighting is cool white or warm white ? Apple ones looks warm white while the Huawei ones looks cool white. Other than colouration, can't tell the difference.

Have to admit iPhone gave a more accurate portrayal of the colour for these photos
