News & Reviews:   Huawei P20

Once again, Huawei Malaysia's "Capture the Beauty of Malaysia" campaign is just around the corner and as always, participants who join the contest stand a chance to win some exciting lucky draw prizes. Ending on 16 September 2018, fans and customers can take part in the contest through their Facebook page and website to win exclusive holiday getaway packages or devices such as the Huawei P20 and Nova 3.

While GPU Turbo has arrived for the Honor Play, a new schedule has appeared indicating that the Huawei P20, Huawei P20 Pro, Huawei Mate 10, Huawei Mate 10 Pro, Huawei Nova 3 and Huawei Nova 3i could be getting their GPU Turbo updates in August 2018. In addition, the schedule also indicates that GPU Turbo will also support both PUBG Mobile and Mobile Legends for more stable and smoother graphics performance.

Initially, rumours mentioned that Fortnite Mobile was so late to the party because it would be exclusively for the Samsung Galaxy Note 9, but now the beta is out and owners of Samsung Galaxy flagships including the S7, S7 Edge, S8, S8+, S9, S9+, Note 8, Note 9, Tab S3 and Tab S4 can install it. It is still semi-exclusive in that you can only download the installer app from the Samsung Galaxy Apps for now, but Note 9 users will also get 15000 V-Bucks, a special Galaxy skin and access to more in-game content.

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.

Chinese smart device manufacturer Huawei has announced their business result for H2 2018 which has shown solid growth throughout with more than 95 million units sold. Not only that, Huawei has also became the world’s second largest smartphone manufacturer with more than 15.8% on Q2 2018.

Based on reports from IDC, SA, Canalys and Counterpoint, Huawei has toppled Apple as the second ranked global smartphone brand for Q2 of 2018. The IDC report in particular shows a 40.9% growth year-over-year for this Q2 of 2018 from Q2 of 2017 for a market share of 15.8% up from 11% and total shipment of 54 million smartphones.

Rewind back to a year ago when vivo was teasing about an in-display fingerprint technology, that got us quite curious about how it could potentially change the smartphone industry. And now we are finally here with the vivo X21, the company's first in-display and commercial smartphone in Malaysia during June 2018 for RM2299. Obviously, for Malaysians that it quite a high price to pay considering the tech-specs. But after using the phone for quite some time, I think it may be justified. Read more below to find out why we think so.

Most of Huawei P20 and P20 Pro users have no doubt that the camera is quite incredible, thanks to the MasterAI for scene detections. However, we find that the video recording could have been better and Huawei is aware of that. So according to sources, it seems that there will be a patch to improve the video recording.

At CES Asia 2018, Huawei has announced that they have sold more than 6 million units of the Huawei P20 and Huawei P20 Pro worldwide, which is more than 81% globally as compared to the Huawei P10 last year. On another note, Huawei has also launched their second annual NEXT-IMAGE awards where users can showcase their photographs globally starting today.

We know, we know. Our Huawei P20 Pro review has been way long overdue.

If you're still one of those who are considering this camera-centric smartphone, then head on below to find out if the world's first triple camera is worth getting or not.
