Last March 27, 2018, Huawei officially launched the much-anticipated Huawei P20 Series. The HUAWEI P20 Pro features the world’s first Leica triple camera and both devices include unprecedented AI advances, combining technology and art to bring to life a groundbreaking smartphone experience.

Just for FYI, Huawei’s P Series is more of a “lifestyle” phone – perfect for people who love photography. If you travel a lot, take photos of food,  ootds and/or take video clips for your vlog, then this is THE phone for you. The Huawei P20 Pro is designed for Professional Photography and yeah, according to the comparisons presented during the global launch in Paris, France, the Huawei P20 Pro‘s camera seems far better compared with the Samsung S9 and even the iPhone X.

 

Feel free to watch my Facebook Live broadcast during the Huawei P20 Series Global Launch held in Paris, France for full details.

In my humble opinion, the Huawei P20 Pro is like a cross between the  Huawei P10 Plus and the Huawei Mate 10, multiplied by 100 +1!  It’s freakin’ BADASS! Huawei clearly did not just make a step ahead, but a total huge leap from all the rest. (ang layoooooooo) Uhhmm.. so why did the geniuses behind Huawei do all these? Well, simply because they can. Naks! trip nila eh, walang basagan  (pls excuse my humor. I’m sooo NOT a techie and I’m tired of reading serious reviews). 

The Huawei P20 Pro also received a DxOMark rating of 109–  the highest overall score compared to all other brands. #alamna

When I first held the Huawei P20 Pro, I was immediately impressed by how slim and light it was. “4000mAh battery? Duh? No way!” ~ couldn’t believe it myself, but yeah, totally true. I love, LOVE the Twilight and Midnight Blue colors. They all look premium, sleek and damn sexy! *witwiw

I made this quick video right after attending the global launch in Paris… Feel free to watch it =)

I said a minor mistake tho, I said it had 960 frames per minute… should be “frames per second”.
This is a spontaneous 1 take video, so pls forgive me for the minor errors
