Huawei has taken the South African smartphone market by storm in recent years. The Mate 20 Pro now measures up to be one of a growing variety of high-quality devices that are available to South African consumers..
Powered by the new 7nm Huawei Kirin 980 chipset, the Mate Pro 20 is Huawei's answer to high-end devices like Galaxy Note 9 and iPhone Xs Max. Here's why the Mate 20 Pro should be your smartphone choice.
A magnificent photograph
The Mate 20 Pro's new camera called Leica Triple Camera uses AI to provide you with a superior photography experience. This triple camera contains a 40 MP wide angle lens (f / 1.8 aperture), a 20 MP ultra wide angle lens (f / 2.2 aperture) and a telephoto lens (f / 2 aperture)..
Together, these three lenses support autofocus which includes laser, phase and contrast focusing. In addition, they also support AI Image Stabilization (AIS) software which uses AI so that you can fully enjoy your camera.
Being able to capture large areas, the new 20 MP ultra wide angle lens is perfect for taking landscape photos and macro photography..
A superb screen
The Mate 20 Pro has a beautiful 6.4 inch 2K OLED display that will make using your smartphone pleasant. Whether you are enjoying your photos or watching movies, the images will be crisp and clear.
The screen integrates 3D glass with smooth curves to make the Mate 20 Pro one of the most attractive smartphones on the market.
The Mate 20 Pro also offers water and dust resistance to IP68 standard, meaning you don't have to worry about taking your smartphone on your adventures.
Unlimited AI functions
AI is one of the most exciting technological innovations of recent times. The Mate 20 Pro is packed with AI capabilities and functions.
An interesting option for parents is the 3D depth-sensing camera which allows you to scan a toy and bring it to life on your screen. This function allows you to take pictures of toys, make them move and dance on your desktop.
* Note that 3D scanning will be activated after a software update at the end of October 2018.
The AI Portrait Color feature will appeal to videographers. It detects humans and lets you gray out the elements around them, ensuring these people are the focal point of your video. This function also allows you to edit your movies in real time with a range of filters - such as Fresh, Vintage, Background Blur and Suspense.
When you point your device at your meal, the Mate 20 Pro can even help you identify the calorie count in your food.
Superior battery life
These powerful functions demand an equally powerful battery - which the Mate 20 Pro is equipped with. A huge 42,000mAh battery will keep your smartphone running for long periods of time and an AI-based power management system will ensure optimal use of that battery life.
By having such a battery, the Mate 20 Pro offers a wireless reverse charging function. With this function, you can charge another device compatible with your Mate 20 Pro by placing the two devices one behind the other.
A fantastic price
The Mate 20 Pro is the smartest device Huawei has ever developed. You would imagine that a device of such quality would be sold at an exorbitant price, but the Mate 20 Pro maintains Huawei's reputation by offering incredible value for money.
You can own the Mate Pro 20 for just 18,999 Rands - considering how good this device is, it's absolutely a steal.
