The newly announced Huawei P20 Pro is definitely making a few breakthroughs in the smartphone market and is definitely going to be one of the heavy contenders for your next smartphone upgrade in 2018. Equipped with a the world’s first triple rear camera system, you will expect to shoot further and see more details with the new Huawei P20 Pro. Huawei also makes it so much easier to guide you to achieve that perfect shot with the all new AI Assisted Composition feature, so you will have a virtual photography guru telling you how to better compose a shot wherever and whenever.

 

With the launch of Huawei P20 and P20 Pro, Huawei hasalso introduced the new Gradient Colour finishing to the chassis, making it a standout colour and design unique of its competitions in the market with the new Pink Gold and Twilight.

 

It’s All About The Camera

So what is the big deal about not TWO but THREE cameras, will it be better than it’s competitions in the market? Well in theory it should be better, since the P20 Pro now have a dedicated 40MP RGB camera, 20MP Monochrome camera and a 8MP Telephoto camera. So in any given scenario when using the camera, the P20 Pro will select the best combination of two cameras from the three, along with some algorithm to merge the two images to produce the most optimum results in picture quality.

On top of that, Huawei also boost that the P20 Pro’s RGB Camera comes with a 1/1.7″ sensor that is a size commonly used by point & shoot cameras. Which will be 223% larger than its competition, theoretically should have better low light performance than the flagship smartphones launch in 2017. Because of this sensor, P20 Pro will also be boosted with up to ISO102400, setting it apart from the usual ISO6400.

Equipped with Leica VARIO SUMMILUX 1:1.6 2.4 / 27-80mm lens, the P20 Pro is capable of up to 3x optical zoom and also achieve a super sharp 5x hybrid zoom. The auto focusing will also be spot on with the new 4D Predictive focus which uses a 4-in-1 hybrid system consists of laser focus, phase focus, depth focus and contrast focus.

With all that being mentioned, Huawei and Leica once again prove that they are committed to produce the best of the best camera system on a smartphone. But those are just hardware, what’s more impressive is the combination of these hardware with Huawei’s Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology.

 

Smarter With Artificial Intelligence

Since the introduction of Kirin 970 AI chipset in Huawei Mate 10 series of phone late 2017, Huawei have been eager in exploring the use of AI to make it easier and more intuitive features that your smartphone can help you in your daily tasks. For the launch of the P20 series, Huawei have added new AI features to its camera system which they called it Master Photography powered by AI.

This AI features will help anyone to take better pictures… YES!!! ANYONE… that seems like too good to be true. Here’s the breakdown of these new AI features:

• AI Assist Composition – Composition of the photographs MAKES or BREAKS that image. With AI Assist Composition, you will virtually have a photography guru giving you advice on how to compose that MONEY SHOT every time. Now you can trust anyone to take a nice shot of you with the P20 and P20 Pro.
• AI Stabilisation – If you hate those blurry night shots, AI Stabilisation will give you the capability to take up to six seconds for a handheld shot. That’s pretty cool. Your night shots will look more vibrant and capture all that details with this amazing feature. On top of that, Huawei also boost it with a six-axis stabilisation system. You can almost say bye bye to your tripods
• AI Scene Recognition – Introduced since the Mate 10, AI Scene Recognition will instantly know what you are shooting and choose the optimum settings to get that shot right in one go. It can even differentiate a dog from a cat. That’s how cool it is.

 

A Body That We All Like

With all the good features, you need to have the good looking chassis to complete the package. Huawei will be introducing two new Gradient Colour Finishing to the P20 and P20 Pro – Pink Gold and Twilight. So the Pink Gold will spot a Unicorn like gradient colour from White to Orange to Pink, where as the Twilight will have a Mermaid like gradient colour from Purple to Blue to Green. I must say, the PINK GOLD is going to be the hot colour for both boys and girls. That pearl-like Unicorn colour scheme is just too alluring to all genders. For those who prefer a more subtle colour, there will be Midnight Blue and Black available on the P20 Pro too.

Other than the new colour, P20 Pro will also spot a NOTCH on top of the 6.1″ OLED display. For those who do not like the NOTCH… Huawei gives you the option to hide the notch in the display settings.
