What You Must Know About P20 Pro, World First 3 Camera Phone

  Tweet

Although, Huawei smartphones such as P10 and Mate10 Pro, at one time or another, have found  themselves  among the top 10 or 20  in the lists of phones with the best camera. Again there are indications now that P20 Pro may find its spot among the top 3 phones with the best camera. This is Not as a result of number of cameras (3 precisely) that come with the phone, but  because of improvements  in picture quality that the cameras brought to shots taken with the phone which rivals those of top phones in market. In other word, picture quality is now on the same level with the two or
three main phones that are widely known for their best camera in the market, and those main ones
 are  Google's Pixel2 XL, iPhone X and Samsung Galaxy S9. Added to this are other remarkable specs that is making it on a par with flagship phones of major brands. In fact, it seems Huawei captured the main specs of iPhone X and galaxy S9 and reintroduced them in P20 Pro.
Firstly, let's look at what is missing in P20 Pro and then proceed to what it offers.

What is Missing
*NO external storage the phone is equipped with 6gb Ram and internal storage of 128Gb, which is
currently, more than enough but you are restricted to that because there is no slot for external
storage i.e MicroSD.
*NO Wireless Charging: Despite its 4000 mAh battery capacity and fast charging feature, the phone has no wireless charging.
*NO 3.5 mm phone jack: though this still present in current galaxy S9, Huawei p20 pro join the bandwagon of other top phone makers who are letting go of 3.5mm headphone.


What P20 Pro offers 
Screen and Display: The P20 Pro has bezel-less 6.1 display with 82% screen-to-body ratio, the most noticeable part of the display apart from bezel-less is the small notch, its notch is even smaller than that of iPhone X, and if you are among the users that don't like the notch,  just like the way Apple introduced software to hide the notch in iPhone X, Huawei also provides software (Huawei EMUI) to do the same. Although while Home Button (at the bottom) was removed and replaced with bezel-less screen in iPhone X, it's still present in P20 Pro. Also At the front of the phone is Fingerprint reader to complement its Face Id sensor. The stunning 6.1 Amoled display come with 1080*2240 pixels.

Leica Triple Camera: By introducing the world first  triple camera phone, Huawei takes the
 mobile phone photography to the next level. The vertically arranged cameras are made of
8MP (telephoto) lens, 40MP (RGB) lens, and 20MP (Monochrome) lens,  Combined together,
the cameras take and produce pictures with unrivaled details and colour accuracy that
challenge those of  Pixel2 XL, remember that Google Pixel2 XL is mostly known for its
 camera's outstanding performance. With the night mode  of P20 Pro, the photos
taken devoid of grainy and blur that are known to affect  pictures taken in low-light
conditions by other phones, even the top high-end phones. Also, there is 5X Hybrid,
which allows you to zoom in and see the amazing details of your subject first, before you finally
 take the picture. Furthermore, 24MP front camera, allows you to take clear and detailed Selfie
 in Portrait mode.

Software and Processor: The phone comes with the  recently updated android 8.1 Version (Oreo) with Huawei Emotion UI. The processor is powerful HiSilicon Kirin 970, Octa-core 2.4GHz, ARM Cortex.
Super-Slow Motion: On Super-Slow motion feature, though this was officially introduced by Samsung Mobile in its flagship galaxy S9, Huawei reintroduces it in P20 Pro.The Super-Slow motion record video at 960 frame per second (960 fps) thereby enable you to capture and slow down your most precious and fleeting moments.
