Huawei P20 vs Huawei P20 Pro - flagships of the company with an eye on the title of the best camera phones

Huawei seriously decided to get ahead of market leaders in the sale of mobile devices. This time the company released two flagships with a fairly high price tag. In addition to serious stuffing, the models received original cameras, which should dot the I in the matter of the best camera phone once and for all. Below is a comparison of the Huawei P20 and Huawei P20 Pro, as well as the evaluation of models compared to other top market representatives.

Specifications

Both models were presented as flagships, so there is no reason to doubt the quality of iron. However, devices have different prices. If you look at the characteristics, both models look interesting and powerful. An analysis of the devices for each of the points will give an idea of ​​why the P20 is still cheaper, and how it is inferior to the Pro version. Characteristics are given in the table.

Smartphone Huawei P20

Smartphone Huawei P20 Pro

From the list it is clear that the Pro is larger, has a more serious battery, a display from Samsung, as well as better protection against water and dust.. The difference does not end there. If you look in the box, then the P20 Pro has an adapter with a Type-C to 3.5. The cover and headphones are present in both devices.

On a note! A curious moment is that many brands constantly criticize and laugh at the trends that are set by Apple, and then they come to them. In this case we are talking about the rejection of the connector 3.5 on the case itself. The story with an eyebrow on the display remembers everything, so once again there is no point in discussing this point.

Design

Huawei P20 vs P20 Pro is a curious comparison, because both models should not have compromises.The comparison will begin traditionally with the design, as they are always greeted by clothes, and then they look at the content.

The design is more than usual. Glass telephonesBoth have a mirrored back cover, which is not very good in terms of fingerprints - all colors are very easily soiled. Almost the entire front panel is occupied by the display. The diagonals are different, and due to this, the P20 Pro is bigger. It is larger not only in size, but in thickness and weight. Many agree that using it is not always comfortable. In this plan P20 is more compact and better in hand.

On a note! The appearance of this color has an interesting history. The fact is that a large analytical agency with global status has announced: 2018 is a year of ultraviolet color. Hence the decision to release the phone "in the subject." It looks original and beautiful.

Fingerprint scanner in the oval button under the screen, this is the standard location of Huawei, all controls are in their original places, sockets too. The difference is that the Huawei P20 has a 3.5 connector, the older brother does not have it. You will have to use an adapter or connect a wireless headset. Having seen enough on the face, the devices can be thrown back and look for differences further, especially since they will be there.The younger device has a double camera on the back, the elder brother received three matrices at once. They are located in the same place as the P20, only the number increased. The rest of the devices are similar.

Conclusion. On the visual component, both models are successful, in terms of ergonomics, the younger device wins. The score is 1: 0 in favor of P20.

Screen

The diagonal of the older model is 6.1 inches, the OLED matrix, the resolution is 2240 * 1080. The P20 has a display of 5.8 inches, IPS, 2240 * 1080. At first glance, it may seem that the same resolution with a different diagonal indicates the dignity of a smaller screen, but here comes the Samsung OLED matrix. This is a benchmark in the market, and its characteristics nullify the advantage of the smaller diagonal.

Both screens have an aspect ratio of 18: 9 and are similar to the development of Apple. All those who relate to such a constructive solution are not too good, can remove the cutout in the settings, then they will have a copy of top Samsung devices on their hands. In fact, borrowing and copying can not be considered a crime. If the device looks like another, this is not the greatest trouble. The main question is the quality of the display. In the P20 Pro it is expected better.Samsung matrixes are now the best, and even the highest quality IPS display will be inferior to them. Especially if it is not very well calibrated and displays gray colors poorly. In this case, we are talking about P20.

The P20 Pro also has one thing. Despite the fact that the matrix was purchased from Samsung, it still needs set up correctly. In this case, Huawei experts approached the task not too responsibly, and maybe they simply do not know how. The result is the following: the OLED matrix in the P20 Pro is inferior to that of the Samsung device in terms of configuration. At the same time, it overtakes the younger device and visually looks better than the OLED of the iPhone X, there we also could not properly adjust the matrix.

Conclusion. By the quality of the display, the point goes to the P20 Pro, and the score is compared - 1: 1.

Autonomy

Further comparison of the Huawei P20 and P20 Pro leads to a logical assessment of autonomy. Today it is a very important point, as users do not part with their phones for days. P20 has a battery capacity of 3400 mAh. She allows use the device for 1.5 days, 5 hours to play, watch a movie 8 hours. The older model received a more capacious battery. It has a value of 4000 mAh. Video - 22 hours, music - 90 hours. At medium loads the device lives up to two days, which is very worthy. \

Fast charging in the P20 Pro will charge the device by 100% in 2 hours, the P20 will cope with the task in 1 hour and 10 minutes. In general, the speed is about the same. Due to the greater capacity, it will take a little longer to wait, but this is not so critical, given the overall level of autonomy.

Conclusion. The point goes to the P20 Pro, because it turned out more enduring. The score is 2: 1.

Camera

The next important parameter for comparison is the camera. Huawei P20 dual module rear, monochrome and color, there is laser focusing, optical stabilization is absent. Video can be shot in 4K. The front camera has a resolution of 20 megapixels and shows itself very well. Rate the camera in the younger device can be 4-ku. She shows herself quite well, artificial intelligence processor introduces certain chips, the application is overloaded. Minus - soap appears when shooting at night. Compared to devices from Apple and Samsung, the camera on the Huawei P20 is worse.

The overview of the camera parameters of the P20 turned out to be very compressed, because nothing special can be said about it. It is good, but up to a certain point, and you can’t call the device the best cameraphone. And all because the best camera phone is the P20 Pro. Why - will be discussed below.

The difference between the Huawei P20 and P20 Pro cameras is very serious. During the presentation, which took place in France, the creators of the P20 Pro paid much attention to this aspect, and when the figures characterizing the matrix were presented, everyone present began to grin, have fun and behave more than incredulously. The reaction is quite obvious, because the memory of Nokia is alive, and it was there that the 40-megapixel matrixes were presented, which were supposed to break the market and kill mirror cameras and any other cameras altogether. The result was the following - there was a lot of noise, but the result was not enough. This can explain the mistrust of viewers, reviewers, press to the matrices in the new flagship Huawei. Huawei did not make a lot of talk about the camera and decided to demonstrate everything. They said something like the following.

1. Main camera consists of 3 matrices.
   
2. One of them is a telephoto lens, that is, it gives a threefold optical zoom without loss of quality. Its resolution is 8 megapixels.
3. The second with a resolution of 40 megapixels is the main - it takes pictures.
4. The last 20 megapixels are black and white, it will collect information and blur the background.

After such words, everyone was offered conduct a test. In the dark room on the floor were scattered different items, and for the three best and most expensive smartphones in the world took photos. These devices were Apple iPhone X, Huawei P20 Pro and Samsung S9 +. The result of the experiment: the phones from the market leaders took off the darkness, the presented device made a very high-quality photo with the ability to see details, colors, and what lay on the floor. Of course there were noises, but they turned out to be minimal. All skeptics died down and unanimously said: "Yes, the camera is the best."

Conclusion. Huawei P20 Pro rightfully became the best device for the camera, and separately analyze the pictures at night, during the day or the video does not make sense. The phone does everything at a level more than high, so the winner in this case is obvious. The score is 3: 1.

Processor and memory

Both devices turned out processor and memory are almost identical. The only difference in the RAM is in its 4 GB P20, and in the P20 Pro it is 6 GB. In fact, the difference is not noticeable, perhaps, as the gadget is used or outdated, it will appear, but at this stage, everything works equally and quickly on both smartphones.

The main memory is 128 gigabytes. None of the phones You can not add a memory card. The Kirin 970 processor is an eight-core chip, with intelligent cores that improve a number of processors, ranging from analyzing and processing tasks, to improving snapshots, video, sound and more. The processor is one of the most powerful on the market, so its operation is clear to everyone. Both devices are gaining about 200 thousand points on Antutuunder severe loads may heat up.

Conclusion. There is no winner for this parameter, so the score remains the same, and it is final - 3: 1.

Conclusion

Huawei P20 and P20 Pro are worthy devices and fully justify their cost. The price in Russia of the older version is 54 thousand rubles, the younger smartphone costs 40 thousand rubles. The comparison above showed that the Pro turned out really better: here a head taller camera, better display and high autonomy. The models work the same, but the ergonomics are still more pleasant with the P20. Nevertheless, the recommendation to acquire the P20 Pro, since in such a price category it is no longer necessary to talk about trade-offs, and I want to get the maximum of opportunities. That P20 Pro is able to give them.
