High Dynamic Range (HDR) video support is here, too; however, Netflix or Amazon Prime don’t currently support the Mate 20 Pro’s display specifically. HDR videos on YouTube look exceptional, though. Sitting at the top of the display is a notch – the small cutout that hides all the sensors required for the biometric face-unlock feature. Notches tend not to bother me in the slightest, especially when they’re hiding advanced tech.

The notch on the Pro isn’t one that simply mimics the unit on the iPhone. Here it houses a multitude of sensors and ensures the screen can be pushed out as far as possible. Huawei Mate 20 Pro – Performance There isn’t a faster Android phone out there than the Huawei Mate 20 Pro. Not only is it capable of blitzing through our selection of synthetic benchmarks but it offers exceptional real-world use that’s only matched by the likes of the iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max. So why is the Mate 20 Pro so much better than the Android competition? The answer lies in the processor. Just about every 2018 Android flagship – LG G7, OnePlus 6T, Galaxy S9 – is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 845, a processor built using the 10nm process.

The Huawei Mate 20 Pro, on the other hand, is powered by the Kirin 980 – a chipset designed in-house by Huawei. Just like Apple and its A12 Bionic silicon, having the ability to build a chip yourself means you’re never waiting for the likes of Qualcomm to come out with its next iteration of the flagship Snapdragon chip. The Kirin 980 is built using the 7nm architecture (as is the Apple A12 Bionic), which allows of smaller gaps between the transistors on each chip. A smaller distance leads to improved performance and, more importantly, better efficiency.

The chip here remains an eight-core unit, like the previous Kirin 970. However, it now uses four low-powered, two medium, and two high-powered cores – each responsible for specific tasks. Geekbench 4 scores Pick up any flagship (or even mid-range) Android phone and it will be fast. The Mate 20 Pro just feels faster: apps open instantly as you press the icon; there’s no lag to be felt at all, and nothing ever appears to suffer a slowdown.

This is also likely down to the 6GB of RAM. Huawei also said the Mate 20 Pro will continue to be fast 12 to 18 months down the line, which is far more important than how quick it feels after having just bought the device. Taking care of the graphics is the Mali G76 MP10 and, once again, this phone is an absolute beast when it comes to gaming. There might be dedicated gaming phones out there – the Razer Phone 2, for example – but the Huawei Mate 20 Pro should be taken very seriously if you’re into mobile gaming. Intensive titles such as Asphalt 9 launched noticeably faster than on the competition, and I found myself in a race consistently quicker than with a Pixel 3 or the Samsung Galaxy S9. This isn’t to say those other handsets are slow, it’s just the Mate 20 Pro is a step above and should compete closely with the next-generation Snapdragon chipset we’ll likely see soon. Huawei’s phones have always impressed with strong reception for both Wi-Fi and cellular data, and that remains the case here.

Phone calls sound clear, and since the phone supports dual-SIM, you can place two nano-SIMs inside. Interestingly, there’s no microSD support here. Instead, Huawei has developed a expandable storage card called Nano Memory.

As the name implies, this card is the same size as a nano-SIM, and fits in the same slot. At the time of review, I couldn’t find any nano memory cards for sale. The lack of microSD support is softened by the 128GB of internal storage, though.
