hello every person Tim Schofield right here and also I was simply over in Europe if you follow me on Instagram or Twitter you may have seen some pictures from that and also those pictures were really fired on this phone the Huawei P 20 Pro which I brought along with me was the only phone I was using while I was taking a trip there and also I intend to go on and revisit the gadget just type of do a revisited review particularly on those 3 cams on the back do not with that said being stated let’s proceed as well as revisit huawei’s newest flagship the p20 pro to begin I wish to start with design and also longevity of the Huawei P 20 pro as well as first things initially among the best-looking phones out now still that tinting on the back is so great they did a really good job simply making it look excellent as well as depending on the illumination it strikes it just kind of has a slope to it and believe it or not the Twilight shade even looks better than this blue that I have currently I additionally went down the Huawei P 20 pro a pair
times regrettably however this is a very sturdy tool with that steel on the outdoors you’ll see right here I dropped it in this bottom right hand edge and also there is just a little bit of an acne right there and also that is all the damage it did take as well as after that if I in fact relocate along to the upper ideal hand edge sadly there’s a nother mark cuz I dropped it a second time as well as you’ll see right here simply a little blemish right there too so it looks like when it goes down on the edges or the sides this metal outside does a truly great task at shielding the phone and while I have it close have a look at some other noteworthy points it has a little an indent in the power switch so you can inform the difference in between the quantity rockers as well as the power switch likewise a little bit of tinting which I type of like it’s a little subtle coloring right there the electronic camera does two of the cam protrude a little bit moreover third lens more on that in simply a little and also after that certainly
looking at the top you will see a bit of a notch and when it pertains to the notch genuinely it doesn’t trouble me aesthetically the only reason it would ever bother me is if I had a lot of notifications up at the leading as well as it began to reduce them off that is the only time I can type of obtain worsened at the knotch which doesn’t occur constantly yet cosmetically I entirely obtain used to it it doesn’t always bother me at all currently if the notch does take place to bother you cosmetically you can actually eliminate it with software application by just pressing hide knots right there as well as you’ll see when you go home hey it resembles the phone does not have a notch when reasonably it simply places a black bar on the display up on top which does not remove the problem with the notice overflow however it does obtain rid of it visually and certainly something actually good regarding having the finger print scanner on the front is that you can have it level on a table and you can simply go in advance and establish your fingerprint down and also open the phone no need to in fact use the pin password whatever you determine to make use of and afterwards you can proceed and just begin using your phone now since the lenses do protrude out a little when you do have it level on a workdesk it does shake a bit while using it currently this next part is something all suppliers
require to make note of as well as the Huawei p20 pro has a 4 thousand milliamp hr battery inside as well as check out exactly how slim it is it is not necessarily any type of significantly thicker or thinner than any type of various other flagship out today yet it has a much larger battery as well as I believe a lot more producers need to start doing this I don’t understand why it’s a fad yet big props to huawei for including such a significant battery to give you an example right here’s a display shot of my display promptly you’ll see I have 4 percent battery left life left as well as I have made use of 6 hours as well as 17 mins display in a timely manner which is insane for me I would certainly state ordinary for me is around 4 hrs 35 mins display on schedule anything over 5 hours will obtain me via a complete day as well as this is hitting over 6 hrs I swipe over once more you see five hours 24 minutes however depending upon just how hefty the use is however the standby time with this battery is incredible I can simply leave it rest overnight it’s only gon na flow down not even 10 percent and also of program the p20 Pro does not include any headphone jack so you require to make use of the included dongle if you have 3.5 millimeter earphone and naturally the removal of the headphone jack prompts some troubles possibly you’re.
at a party can not connect into the aux cord you don’t have your dongle with you perhaps in a vehicle can’t plug your phone in so a few of those sort of issues however likewise for me the most significant one would be not able to charge while listening to songs especially when I get on a trip maybe in a long car ride as well as I wish to sleep to some songs in my ears particularly on trips however fortunately when I checked it out flying to Europe for me battery life somewhat offsets this concern due to program you can listen to songs on a long flight I slept for a couple hours pay attention to audiobooks music I even saw a pair Netflix programs as well as battery life still didn’t drain almost as high as various other phones that I’ve used without an earphone jack so clearly my personal point of view is I want they just had an earphone jack however the additional battery life does somewhat offset the inability to bill and also pay attention to music at the same time but having a dongle is a little bit of an inconvenience relocating along let’s talk about one of the largest things on this phone and that’s the camera naturally it has three lenses on the back as well as you’ll notice I transformed.
off my studio lights it’s a little dark in here now as well as I sort of wished to flaunt one feature on this phone as well as I’m a snap quick picture like so now I’m actually gon na change it to evening setting and also I’m gon na break an image I’m gon na hold it as still as I perhaps can and there we go currently allow’s go on and also have a look at both of these shots so below is the evening setting shot right below swiping over there is the one without night mode which is practically requirement for it you’re going to obtain from various other flagships yet look into the tinting on the desk take a look at the distinction and additionally simply how the screen has to do with the exact same since what took place was in normal setting it finds the exposure from the display and also virtually dims simply concerning all the other points so you’ll see down in this lower right-hand corner type of exactly how dark it is if I switch over to the night setting shot it proceeds as well as makes it much extra light as well as a lot more sensible than if you were taking a look at it from your eyes and you’ll see right here it’s not overexposed by any kind of means where the monitor goes to all you’ll see below nearly the exact very same as the various other shot as well as this is for me an example of a method to display what night mode is qualified of as well as you don’t necessarily need to utilize it during the night time the three-way video camera on the back of the Huawei Pete Pro is easily one of one of the most flexible on any type of smart device out today as well as perhaps.
one of the very best electronic cameras on any smartphone right currently Huawei has a very close and also unique partnership with the extremely well-known Leica cam firm and also you’ll see also like a branding right up on top now certainly the big feature of this phone is the three lenses that it has currently it has the regular lens a telephoto lens for zooming without losing image high quality as well as while weighs signature monochrome lens which takes some really awesome black-and-white shots now the p20 pro has AI constructed into the phone and also even the camera makes use of that AI so see here if I go to check something it acknowledges its message and it will shoot it in a greater photo top quality and also you’ll see exactly how fast that vanishes and appears it recognizes it in really fast time and also there’s 19 different modes presently whether it’s blossoms animals blue skies there’s so many different modes I can actually note them on the side if you’re interested and from what I discovered with taking a great deal of photos on this phone is that I utilize AI mode regarding 85 percent of the moment so it when it gets on auto auto identifying something you’ll see it states message I can really simply push the X right there and it removes that text choice I can just fire it in auto mode I also find that I will certainly simply switch to pro.
mode and also leave everything on auto to just take another typical shot if I do not want those AI features so it simply type of changes the picture depending on what scene you’re considering to make it much better and I locate that about 85 percent of the time the automobile shot and also making use of the AI makes it a far better shot but there’s those arbitrary times when it doesn’t you can conveniently switch to pro mode and also take a second shot or simply exit out and hit capture once more currently taking a look at several of the pictures that I’ve gotten all throughout Europe as well as just using this phone in basic as well as the greatest thing for me evening setting it is fantastic if you can stand there for about 7 secs and also hold the electronic camera still for a shot it will create a truly amazing well-balanced picture it’s amazing just how well it does not just at nighttime yet also in daytime circumstances when you utilize it it will certainly sometimes expose everything evenly as well as here’s just a take a look at a couple of the monochrome shots I took.
as well as those end up great also so having those three various lenses is great and moving under that telephoto lens having a 3 times optical zoom is fantastic you get truly good skyline shots simply close-ups of a great deal of things further away it does have a 5 times optical or a hybrid zoom where it’ll use optical and also electronic zoom in one however approximately 3 times optical zoom is superb whether I’m at a tradeshow want to get something on a phase whether I’m keeping an eye out a hotel home window and also desire to remove some of things below me it’s it’s just such a really great use a telephoto lens I indicate as much as three times and I miss it when I don’t have it currently the p20 Pro has the emui skin over Android which adds some nice attributes to Android yet it also has some things that I do not like about it one of the most significant things and also I assume if they revamped it it would make me appreciate emui a great deal much more is the lockscreen now you’ll see I just sent myself an e-mail and also I have a notification on my lockscreen normally on Android you can expand and get alerts you can’t all you can do on them is touch again to open and that’s the only point you can not broaden you can not contract you can’t strike reply on messages or e-mails there’s no chance to act upon your.
notices while you get on your lockscreen now likewise if i unlock my phone you’ll see that notice is still there in the notice tray and I return to my lockscreen it doesn’t appear on your lock screen whereas in stock Android it will still continue to turn up as well as there’s likewise no chance to draw down the alert tray to maybe shut off Wi-Fi shut off Bluetooth directly from your lockscreen you have to really unlock the phone then go ahead and draw it down to see those notices that are still there as well as act upon your fast settings so that is one thing that I believe if huawei repaired in emui I would truly enjoy the OS a great deal more which’s kind of the greatest gripe I have concerning it which may not be a problem for you I just assume it’s something they need to repair and also like I said it does include some actually valuable features it has a one-handed UI setting for the keyboard or a small screen view you have activity controls turn to mute knuckle gestures as well so if I go on and also draw a circle it will certainly go in advance as well as remove that component of the display and also take a screenshot as well as I discover that it does not ever before assume that I’m using my knuckle when I’m not so if I go on as well as allow’s state I want to proceed and also draw a line throughout the center here it will certainly pack up the split screen app feature.
which is also extremely valuable when trying to multitask likewise for the sake of time I don’t intend to obtain as well hefty into this however efficiency has been really excellent same as if it was just out of package whether I desire to play a very graphic heavy intensive video games such as bar G I wish to do a great deal of multitasking mosting likely to the play shop right here if I wish to proceed and also perhaps load up the clock app go back house I imply it simply loads up every little thing very rapidly it’s extremely easy to multitask open up the cam break a couple quick images return home you’ll see it’s simply truly dealing with everything as anticipated and as it did out of the box so altogether the Huawei p20 Pro remains among the most effective phones you can solve now I have actually truly enjoyed using it as my everyday phone taking photos is a great deal of enjoyable evening setting makes it to whatever a lot far better due to the fact that it actually provides you an ability to take very great shots in low-light most definitely the most effective low-light cam out now keeping that evening mode with that said being stated in addition to efficiency battery life this phone is really excellent so with any luck you have actually appreciated this video if you did make sure to click that thumbs up switch whole lots a lot more to come on the p20 Pro as well as other tools too so make certain to click that subscribe button and also as always people thank you extremely much.
