178 percent more efficient, and the NPU is 182 percent more efficient.
The Kirin 980 is the world’s first commercial SoC to use the
Cortex-A76-based cores. Huawei has innovatively designed a three-tier
architecture that consists of two ultra-large cores, two large cores and four
small cores. This grants the CPU the flexibility to allocate the optimal amount
of resources to heavy, medium and light tasks for unprecedented levels of
efficiency, simultaneously improving the performance of the SoC while enhancing
the battery life. The Kirin 980 is also the
industry’s first SoC to be equipped with Dual-NPU, granting it higher On-Device
AI processing capability to support any and all AI applications.
HUAWEI Mate 20
Pro is the world’s first smartphone to support the 4.5G LTE Cat. 21 standard,
allowing consumers to experience download speeds of up to 1.4Gbps. It also
supports the world’s fastest Wi-Fi connection speeds--2GB footage requires only
10 seconds to download. The top-end flagship also supports dual-band (L1+L5)
GPS positioning technology. The AI GPS Satellite Selection technology enhances
the positioning accuracy across a wide range of scenarios.
Besides superb
performance, the HUAWEI Mate 20 Series also features groundbreaking improvement
on battery life. The HUAWEI Mate 20 Pro houses a large, high-density 4200mAh
battery, and supports 40W HUAWEI SuperCharge, which gives the device 70 percent
charge in 30 minutes. The safety of the technology is certified by TÜV
Rheinland.
Moreover,
HUAWEI Mate 20 Pro supports 15W HUAWEI Wireless Quick Charge, the industry’s
fastest wireless charging solution, and Wireless Reverse Charge, which enables
the device to work as a power bank for selected electronic devices supporting
wireless charging.
The HUAWEI
Mate 20 X supports an ultra-large 5000mAh battery, and is equipped with a
revolutionary HUAWEI super cool system that uses a combination of graphene film
and vapor chamber to deliver outstanding cooling performance. With the cooling
system in place, the CPU and GPU embedded in HUAWEI Mate 20 X can remain at
full throttle for an extended period of time and deliver the smoothest and most
satisfying gaming experience to consumers. The HUAWEI super cool system also
marks the first time graphene is utilized to cool smartphones.
Matrix Camera
System
Building on
the foundation of HUAWEI P20 Series’ camera system, Huawei augmented the HUAWEI
Mate 20 with a powerful addition—16mm Leica Ultra Wide Angle Lens. This wider
perspective creates a sense of spaciousness and a three dimensional effect to
the images. The new camera system also supports macro distance, which produces
crisp images of objects that are placed as close as 2.5cm from the lens. The
added ultra-wide angle lens and macro support completes the feature set of the
camera system, elevating it to a truly all-round camera that is ready to
capture any and all action. The HUAWEI Mate 20 Pro is equipped with a 40MP main
camera, a 20MP ultra wide-angle camera, and an 8MP telephoto camera. Together,
the trio of lenses supports a wide range of focal lengths (equivalent to the
performance of a 16-270mm zoom lens), enabling it to mimic the results from
professional cameras.
The HUAWEI
Mate 20 Series also features an AI Portrait Color video mode. Using AI, the
HUAWEI Mate 20 Series can isolate human subjects and desaturate the colors
around them to dramatically highlight the person. AI Spotlight Reel identifies
clips with a shared theme and auto-generates a montage, made entirely of
highlights.
HUAWEI Mate 20
Pro and PORSCHE DESIGN HUAWEI Mate 20 RS both support 3D Face Unlock. The
solution quickly and securely authenticates users within 0.6s at a false
acceptance rate of below 1/1,000,000. Using the 3D Depth Sensing Camera System
located at the front, the two devices can accurately read the facial features
of a subject and recognize even small details. Besides user authentication,
this suite of sensors also enables the portrait beautification effects to be
realized in a more natural and effective way.
