News & Reviews:   Huawei Mate 20 Pro Malaysia launch

Based on the casing images of the Huawei Mate 20 and Mate 20 Pro courtesy of slashleaks.com, it appears that the Huawei Mate 20 series will not be featuring the 3.5mm audio jack. Similar to all the previous reports we’ve covered, the Huawei Mate 20 series will feature a square cutout which will house the triple rear camera setup. Not only that, based on reports the Huawei Mate 20 will feature a circular fingerprint scanner while the Mate 20 Pro will have an in-display fingerprint scanner.

Upcoming Huawei Mate 20 Pro and Mate 20 will come equipped with the new and improved HiSilicon Kirin 980 chipset which features Dual-NPU which allows for greater AI processing capabilities. In terms of camera improvements with the chipset, the HiSilicon Kirin 980 is capable of processing up to 4500 images for per second, 120% faster than industry average. But that’s not all as it supports multi-person motion prediction and object detection tracking in real time.

Recently FCC has listed Huawei’s implementation of wireless charging technology which features up to 15W wireless charging while the wired charging option is capable of charging up to 10V/4A which is nearly double the charging rate of current Huawei SuperCharge technology.

Images of the Huawei Mate 20, Mate 20 Pro as well as the glass panel for the devices has been leaked showcasing a curved screen panel for the Mate 20 Pro and a Waterdrop notch for the Huawei Mate 20. The notch on the Huawei Mate 20 is larger due to the fact that it houses several sensors such as the 3D face scanner, front facing selfie camera, proximity sensor and speaker grill as far as we know.

As an annual event for Huawei, there is bound to be a new Mate series every October and while we aren't surprised of this, Huawei's CEO, Richard Yu has confirmed with everyone that the Mate 20 series featuring the latest Kirin 980 is a-go in the upcoming October 2018.

Notorious leakster @OnLeaks posted on his Twitter account that the Huawei Mate 20 might have a small notch at the top as well as a smaller chin at the bottom measuring at 6.8mm and 3.8mm respectivey. However, @OnLeaks has stated that he may not be sure whether these numbers will be the same on both the Huawei Mate 20 as well as the Mate 20 Pro so take these detail and every bit of info mentioned with a grain of salt until the official announcement of the device coming soon.

Huawei teases that the upcoming Huawei Mate 20 Pro will be coming with a larger battery than its predecessor. According to the image courtesy of pocket-link.com, the battery of the upcoming Huawei device will be larger than 4000mAh. Paired up with the upcoming Huawei In-house processor, the HiSilicone Kirin 980 chipset featuring the Neural Processing Unit, the Huawei Mate 20 Pro will see a huge improvement in terms of battery life, comfortably pushing the usage per charge to more than a or two day assuming my theories are correct.

So here we are again, another round of Huawei Mate 20 rumours and for this round, we are learning more tech-specs especially the camera setup. Will it have a triple camera just like the P20 Pro? Rumours say yes, but since it's just speculations, do take it with a grain of salt and let us see what else the source say.

So what comes after Huawei P20? Why that'd be the Mate 20 of course. We are not expecting it to jump out of the blue anytime but most probably, it will appear in November as per tradition. In fact, Huawei might be releasing three Mate 20 models which are the Mate 20, Mate 20 Pro and a Mate 20 Lite.

Huawei's next Mate series is most probably going to be called Mate 20 and Mate 20 Pro, to add on to that the company is also probably going to introduce a new HiSilicon Kirin 980 chipset and speculations are point that it could show up at the IFA 2018 event in Germany. So what can we expect about the upcoming processor? Let's check it out below.
