I\u2019ve been using the Motorola G4 Plus for a year or so, and it\u2019s served me fairly well. Like many mid-range smartphones, it\u2019s great for a quick portrait pic in good light, and this one is particularly decent with landscape shots. However, image quality definitely suffers in low light and when zoomed in.<\/p>\n<p>Then Huawei presented me with its new P20 Pro for review, a top of the line smartphone that features a unique three lens configuration developed in conjunction with. At its press launch in Paris at the end of last month, Huawei claimed quality and photographic abilities for the P20 Pro of a level that I\u2019ve never before encountered on many cameras, never mind a phone. \u2018Experience point and shoot perfection\u2019 was one of the headlines in the accompanying promotional copy. \u2018A RenAIssance in photography is here\u2019 was another, pushing the ability of the phone AI to understand a scene in real time. According to Huawei, the camera has the chops \u2018to shoot the ultimate beach or landscape shot\u2019, as well as incorporating \u2018pixel perfect bokeh\u2019 and professional studio lighting effects. There were also headline claims for the quality of low light and night shots without a tripod. Basically, the company is saying you could use this phone in place of a separate camera for most of your everyday needs \u2013 the press launch saw pro photographer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/mel.bles\/?hl=en\">Mel Bles<\/a> detail her use of the P20 Pro on the streets of Paris, as well as on a fashion shoot. The results were impressive.<\/p>\n<p>Whenever I go anywhere, I usually have a\u00a0DSLR with me, stowed in a bag. But now I have my hands on it, could this phone really be all I need with me on a trip, a walk-around camera that allows me to get those \u2018ultimate photos\u2019 as Huawei claims?<\/p>\n<h3>Top glass<\/h3>\n<p>At \u00a3799 to buy outright, this is not a cheap option for a phone, but the price compares favourably with the Apple iPhone X and Samsung Galaxy S9+ models against which Huawei has launched the P20 Pro. I\u2019ve not used any of these devices, so this can\u2019t be a comparative review. If you want to compare specs, or get into arguments, there are plenty of places to do so.<\/p>\n<p>The P20 Pro is beautifully designed in glass and metal, IP67-rated for very decent weather and dustproofing, and a remarkably slim 7.8mm body. The screen on the P20 Pro (there are two lower-specified models in the range) is a 6.1inch OLED FHD+ (2240&#215;1080 pixel) display, with an unusual aspect ratio of 18.7:9 and HDR10 support. This is an incredibly bright and colour-rich screen. In short, it looks and feels high quality.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_11928\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/gp\/product\/B07BHDMHR1\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1634&amp;creative=6738&amp;creativeASIN=B07BHDMHR1&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=firbydes-21&amp;linkId=2e225267aec07d9cd37c0b1e3e314dbb\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11928\" class=\"wp-image-11928 size-full lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/firedbydesign.com\/fbdimg\/2018\/04\/20180419-IMG_5734Huawei-P20-Pro-FiredByDesign.com_.jpg?resize=800%2C615&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Clicking on this image will take you to the P20 Pro product page on Amazon\" width=\"800\" height=\"615\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/firedbydesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/20180419-IMG_5734Huawei-P20-Pro-FiredByDesign.com_.jpg?w=800&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/firedbydesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/20180419-IMG_5734Huawei-P20-Pro-FiredByDesign.com_.jpg?resize=416%2C320&amp;ssl=1 416w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/firedbydesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/20180419-IMG_5734Huawei-P20-Pro-FiredByDesign.com_.jpg?resize=442%2C340&amp;ssl=1 442w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 800px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 800\/615;\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-11928\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Clicking on this image will take you to the P20 Pro product page on Amazon<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>As a phone, it\u2019s lightning fast, thanks to the Kirin 970 processor with NPU. This Neural Processing Unit\u00a0drives the Huawei AI assistant that powers just about everything that\u2019s new on the camera side, as well as many of the phone apps.<\/p>\n<p>The model Huawei supplied ships with 6GB of RAM, a generous 128GB of storage, and 4000 mAh battery for equally generous life (here again the other P20 models have less to play with). The fingerprint sensor is highly responsive, offering a much-improved experience over similar access functions I\u2019ve encountered, while the face unlock facility goes one stage further in terms of personalisation. Equally fast performance and a wealth of features comes courtesy of the Huawei\u2019s EMUI 8.1 interface running on Android Oreo (8.1). There\u2019s a lot here to take in though \u2013 I found more features under the surface after a bit of a hunt to find the user guide, but there\u2019s definitely more than meets the eye.<\/p>\n<p>As for ears, audio is brilliant, with Dolby Atmos speakers able to fill a room \u2013 but there\u2019s no headphone jack. A headphone adapter is in the box for plugging into the USB-C port however, and there will also be a pair of \u2018FreeBuds\u2019 wireless earbuds available (at an extra \u20ac160).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\n#foogallery-gallery-11836 .fg-image { width: 160px; }\n#foogallery-gallery-11836 { --fg-gutter: 10px; }<\/style>\n\t\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n#foogallery-gallery-11836_1 .fg-image { width: 160px; }\n#foogallery-gallery-11836_1 { --fg-gutter: 10px; }<\/style>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"foogallery foogallery-container foogallery-default foogallery-lightbox-foobox fg-center fg-default fg-ready fg-light fg-border-thin fg-shadow-outline fg-loading-default fg-loaded-fade-in fg-caption-hover fg-hover-fade fg-hover-zoom\" id=\"foogallery-gallery-11836_1\" data-foogallery=\"{&quot;item&quot;:{&quot;showCaptionTitle&quot;:true,&quot;showCaptionDescription&quot;:true},&quot;lazy&quot;:true,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;src&quot;,&quot;srcset&quot;:&quot;srcset&quot;}\" style=\"--fg-title-line-clamp: 0; --fg-description-line-clamp: 0;\" >\n\t<div class=\"fg-item fg-type-image fg-loading\"><figure class=\"fg-item-inner\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/firedbydesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/20180418-Huawei-P20-Pro-100-percent.jpg?ssl=1\" data-caption-title=\"Photo at 100% in Photoshop\" data-caption-desc=\"Photo at 100% in Photoshop\" data-attachment-id=\"11837\" data-type=\"image\" class=\"fg-thumb\"><span class=\"fg-image-wrap\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/firedbydesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/cache\/2018\/04\/20180418-Huawei-P20-Pro-100-percent\/2031363270.jpg?resize=160%2C160&#038;ssl=1\" title=\"Photo at 100% in Photoshop\" width=\"160\" height=\"160\" class=\"skip-lazy fg-image\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><span class=\"fg-image-overlay\"><\/span><\/a><figcaption class=\"fg-caption\"><div class=\"fg-caption-inner\"><div class=\"fg-caption-title\">Photo at 100% in Photoshop<\/div><div class=\"fg-caption-desc\">Photo at 100% in Photoshop<\/div><\/div><\/figcaption><\/figure><div class=\"fg-loader\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fg-item fg-type-image fg-loading\"><figure class=\"fg-item-inner\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/firedbydesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/20180418-Huawei-P20-Pro-200-percent.jpg?ssl=1\" data-caption-title=\"Photo at 200% in Photoshop\" data-caption-desc=\"Photo at 200% in Photoshop\" data-attachment-id=\"11838\" data-type=\"image\" class=\"fg-thumb\"><span class=\"fg-image-wrap\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/firedbydesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/cache\/2018\/04\/20180418-Huawei-P20-Pro-200-percent\/4135304597.jpg?resize=160%2C160&#038;ssl=1\" title=\"Photo at 200% in Photoshop\" width=\"160\" height=\"160\" class=\"skip-lazy fg-image\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><span class=\"fg-image-overlay\"><\/span><\/a><figcaption class=\"fg-caption\"><div class=\"fg-caption-inner\"><div class=\"fg-caption-title\">Photo at 200% in Photoshop<\/div><div class=\"fg-caption-desc\">Photo at 200% in Photoshop<\/div><\/div><\/figcaption><\/figure><div class=\"fg-loader\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fg-item fg-type-image fg-loading\"><figure class=\"fg-item-inner\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/firedbydesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/20180418-Huawei-P20-Pro-300-percent.jpg?ssl=1\" data-caption-title=\"Photo at 300% in Photoshop\" data-caption-desc=\"Photo at 300% in Photoshop\" data-attachment-id=\"11839\" data-type=\"image\" class=\"fg-thumb\"><span class=\"fg-image-wrap\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/firedbydesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/cache\/2018\/04\/20180418-Huawei-P20-Pro-300-percent\/2128518914.jpg?resize=160%2C160&#038;ssl=1\" title=\"Photo at 300% in Photoshop\" width=\"160\" height=\"160\" class=\"skip-lazy fg-image\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><span class=\"fg-image-overlay\"><\/span><\/a><figcaption class=\"fg-caption\"><div class=\"fg-caption-inner\"><div class=\"fg-caption-title\">Photo at 300% in Photoshop<\/div><div class=\"fg-caption-desc\">Photo at 300% in Photoshop<\/div><\/div><\/figcaption><\/figure><div class=\"fg-loader\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fg-item fg-type-image fg-loading\"><figure class=\"fg-item-inner\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/firedbydesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/FiredByDesign-111317.jpg?ssl=1\" data-caption-title=\"Faithful colour -

The three-lens array incorporates a f1.8 main lens with a 40-megapixel RGB sensor for high definition colour, and a faster f1.6 monochrome lens (as well as B\/W shots, it provides greater depth of field, less noise and higher contrast) supporting 20MP \u2013 both have 27mm (35mm equivalent) focal length. The third member of the Leica triumvirate is a f2.4 lens with a 3X telephoto (80mm) delivering 8MP. The latter also offers optical image stabilising (OIS), and a 5X \u2018Hybrid Zoom\u2019 function to add \u2018detail from a distance\u2019 through software processing. A f2.0 selfie camera is incorporated into the notch on the front screen of the P20 Pro, offering a very decent 24MP. Although capable of 40MP, and more in RAW mode, the camera\u2019s \u2018Light Fusion\u2019 technology can blend the output of the P20 Pro to create brighter, clearer 10-megapixel images, as standard.<\/p>\n<p>As stated, I usually encounter problems with smartphone photos at low light levels. Unless you\u2019re lucky, you have to contend with blocky pixel blobs of colour with no real definition, as well as blown highlights, so for me the most interesting facet of the Huawei marketing push was the light gathering capability of this phone. At its press launch, Huawei quoted a top ISO rating of 102,400 for the P20 Pro, comparing to that on the Canon 5D Mk iv, which is a pretty big boast when compared with the 6400 ISO for other premium smartphones. Huawei also states that the P20 Pro offers the biggest pixel size available on any smartphone, at 1.55 \u03bcm, and it has a sensor that\u2019s twice as big as competing models.<\/p>\n<p>What does all this get you? Well, the proof is in the picture, and pictures on the P20 Pro were super detailed and razor sharp in most circumstances.

It does this by building up the scene in a series of images, presumably with the AI adjusting for camera shake during the handheld process. And it works very well indeed, resulting in rapidly processed images with a wide dynamic range. The usual amount of time is around 4 seconds, but a garden shot at night took 10 seconds to complete (held flat against a window) and the results were very impressive. Low light performance is also very good on the whole, with a portrait shot in a very dark castle storehouse with light coming from one side giving a particularly nice result.<\/p>\n<p>However, there was no sign on the camera of that super-high ISO rating, with the actual top figure seeming to be 3200 ISO. The Huawei website seems to suggest that this will be available via an upgrade, but I couldn\u2019t find any other information.<\/p>\n<h3>Aperture<\/h3>\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\n#foogallery-gallery-11763 .fg-image { width: 160px;

It makes use of both the monochrome and main lenses working together to provide depth and extra detail \u2013 a slider increases or decreases the digital aperture, from f0.95 to f16, and thus the range of focus. It\u2019s probably the most used feature on this phone at the moment. Dialled down, it not only isolates points of interest and boosts the colours, but it\u2019s also ideal for fast action shots, if you manage to get the focus right. The added bonus of the twin lens approach is that you can adjust the depth of focus after you\u2019ve taken the shot. Selecting the image in the Gallery also allows you to adjust the colours and add even more effects.<\/p>\n<p>One thing that might improve Aperture would be a way to adjust it with a hardware control (as Huawei has done with focus for video), but that might just be a button too far.<\/p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\n#foogallery-gallery-11869 .fg-image { width: 160px; }\n#foogallery-gallery-11869 {

the AI to recognise what the camera is viewing at the time and adjusts the capture parameters to match. The P20 Pro is swift to register shots as scenes, such as Snow, Greenery, Blue Sky, Beach, Portrait and impressively live music (Stage). It can recognise a cat and a dog, though it also tagged a bear as the latter. There are 19 categories in all. It mostly works really well, but sometimes the colour seems too extreme. In the shot of Rumbling Bridge gorge, correctly identified as \u2018waterfall\u2019 by the AI, the lichen on the rocks is just that bit too vivid. But the different shades in the rushing water are captured very faithfully. The details on the boats and the landscape elements in the shots of the loch are rendered well, but this image portrays a deeper blue than I experienced. These shots were all taken on the standard \u2018Photo\u2019 setting.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, the two shots at normal and 5X zoom of the horses in the Zoom gallery captures the animals well, but the grass was never that lush on the day.<\/p>\n<p>The P20 Pro features a separate colour temperature sensor (situated below the flash), so it was odd to find such extreme saturation in some shots. Don\u2019t just rely on the AI seems to be the lesson here.<\/p>\n<h3>Zoom and focus<\/h3>\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\n#foogallery-gallery-11796 .fg-image { width: 160px; }\n#foogallery-gallery-11796

usually reliable Canon EOS 40D), a 40 or 50mm, and at least one other lens with me \u2013 a wide-angle or medium telephoto depending on where I was going. The P20 Pro can\u2019t match the more extreme wide shots I like to indulge in, but it does take some great, sharp images with the 27mm (35mm equivalent) lenses. Focus is generally lighting fast and very accurate &#8211; \u00a0there are no complaints there. It can deploy 4D Predictive Focus, which uses the AI to pre-focus on the object, using a predictive grid that updates dynamically \u2013 so it can focus on where the object is going to be. It proved ideal for shooting Penguins racing through the water.<\/p>\n<p>Using zoom on the P20 Pro can be a bit hit and miss in some situations, but great in others. Compared with a 250mm telephoto on the Canon (<em>see images below<\/em>), the tiger at Edinburgh Zoo seems sharper fully zoomed in with the Huawei. However, the phone seemed to mess up the shot of the wallabies from the same trip, and the AI got the colour balance completely wrong. Also, zoom can&#8217;t be used when the format is set for shooting in 40 megapixels The good outweighs the bad though, with the 3X Zoom performing well for most everyday tasks.<\/p>\n<p>The P20 Pro can flip into burst mode by holding the shutter down, and you use the phone in a point and shoot quick fire mode from sleep (0.4 seconds according to a message that flashed up on the screen) when double-clicking the Volume down button. The Volume buttons can also be used to Zoom in Photo mode and can be used as a physical Focus control when switching to Video.<\/p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\n#foogallery-gallery-11792 .fg-image {

looking pretty, it can make you look attractive too (within limits). The Portrait mode lets you configure different beautification settings via a slider for slimming and smoothing. You can adjust this and also 3D lighting before or after the shot is taken \u2013 lighting modes include Stage, Soft, Split and Butterfly modes among others. The P20 Pro can even create an \u2018information database for custom beautification\u2019 for use in Selfie Portrait mode. Onscreen prompts get you to take photos of yourself looking to the front, sides, and downwards to set the beauty parameters. You can then access Beauty Effects to adjust parameters such as skin smoothness and tone. Beauty settings work for groups too, when shot in Portrait mode<\/p>\n<p>Of course, you can do without all this AI-driven goodness and just go manual, as the P20 Pro also offers a fairly comprehensive Pro mode. You can select a metering or white balance mode, adjust the ISO, change the shutter speed, slide exposure compensation values up or down, and also select a focus mode depending on the application \u2013 moving, static or manual focus. RAW format (saving as DNG) is also available in Pro mode. Among the other utilities of the camera are a horizontal guide line help gets the shot level and you can choose between a number of grid patterns to assist composition. There\u2019s also a 3D panorama function to capture a 360-degree view- this is harder to get right than it sounds, but it\u2019s useful for creating moving panoramic shots of objects, people, and landscapes.<\/p>\n<p>Another mode, Light Painting automatically sets a slow shutter speed to take long-exposure shots of light trails, flowing water (a feature I didn\u2019t know existed when I was shooting the waterfalls) and star trails.<\/p>\n<p>Other useful features can be download as new apps \u2013 you can access custom shooting modes for adding watermarks, as well as shooting food pics and scanning documents \u2013 the AI recognises them as such and crops\/adjusts the shot appropriately. The phone also can automatically recognise business card info to make it easier to add\/convert this to Contacts. It depends on the card design, but this seems to work fairly well.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\n#foogallery-gallery-11882 .fg-image { width: 160px; }\n#foogallery-gallery-11882 { --fg-gutter: 10px;

You need to be quick on the shutter though and it\u2019s only 720p. It can also record 4K (3840 x 2160), but neither of these modes support stabilisation. HD and FHD resolutions, including 1920 x 1080 60fp and FHD+ all do however.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><\/p>\n<h3>Born slippy<\/h3>\n<p>With its impressive glass shell, the phone almost seems too delicate to use in a \u2018throw in the bag\u2019 camera fashion. The ultra-slim curved body is also rather elusive to hold \u2013 it slips out of the hand and off the edge of couches very easily. This is a phone that cries out for a heavy-duty case, which rather nullifies the point of all the shimmery goodness. Huawei is bringing a smart case out in a couple of weeks for the P20 Pro, but until then, it\u2019s definitely \u2018handle with care\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>In a nod to compact cameras of old, Huawei has the lenses on the P20 Pro arranged horizontally on the left of the long edge. It\u2019s a nice idea, but when activating the Volume Down button as a physical shutter control with an index finger invariably caused my other fingers to obscure part of the view. It led to a terse \u2018Please do not cover the lens\u201d message to pop up a bit too often. As for the seamless fingerprint sensor, it may be a bit too flush, as it was rather too easy to brush against it when the using the onscreen shutter button and flip out of camera mode altogether.<\/p>\n<p>Another key factor in considering any media capture device is how well does it fit into your existing workflow? I\u2019m used to working with <a href=\"https:\/\/lightroom.adobe.com\/\">Adobe Lightroom<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adobe.com\/uk\/products\/photoshop.html\">Photoshop<\/a> and the retro (in a bad way) Android File Transfer software to get images off a phone. Over a USB cable, Lightroom imports from the Motorola G5 fairly well, with all metadata intact. The P20 Pro on the other hand falls foul of a bug that affects some phones, in that it reads the file creation dates as being back in 1970, leading to cataloguing problems. Luckily this phone also has a number of other ways to connect, including Huawei Computer Share which uses your private network connection to mount the P20 Pro as a server on the Mac or a PC. It\u2019s initially a lot slower than the direct connection, but at least it gets all the facts straight. There\u2019s also HiSuite, which is Huawei\u2019s own version of the Android File Transfer software, and only slightly less clunky. A DSLR wins hands down when it comes to file transfer.<\/p>\n<h3>Final thoughts<\/h3>\n<p>There\u2019s no doubt about it, this a great smartphone with a superior camera. And at this premium price, it should be. The Leica triple lens setup and Huawei\u2019s complementary technology means that it\u2019s ideal for low-light shots and great depth of field effects. This is definitely a phone that I\u2019ll already have in my pocket when I leave the house. It is supremely capable of shooting street photos, quick portraits and any amount of holiday snaps, as well as some great video. Am I ready to ditch the DSLR though? Not really, but it will certainly be left at home a lot more on short trips.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/consumer.huawei.com\">Visit Huawei<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We take a long look at the smartphone with the triple Leica lens.
