Huawei P20 Pro to get started: The most reliable AI camera master

As a mobile phone that is arguably the best flagship on the one hand, before I started working on the Huawei P20 Pro, I felt that there wasn’t much need for evaluation in terms of performance. The experience of taking photos and AI was its focus. After all, this one The mobile phone will not have any obvious shortcomings on any one hand, and if so, it will no longer be able to comfort itself with the UF business partners because it itself should shoulder the industry’s benchmarking responsibilities.

Yan value: Surface with gradient, advise you to kill it and don't bring it

Xiao Bian himself has always preferred the back cover of the mobile phone. From the first Nexus 4 with fragile glass, he used a large number of glass back cover phones. However, the P20 Pro cover does not matter whether it is touch, gloss or finish. In terms of excellence, they are all excellent.

In terms of the aurora color we have acquired, the gradient back cover color is accompanied by a rounded arc transition. When light waves flow on it, the flow is smooth and natural. As if there were no borders, one would accidentally drop from the arc.

The body is stuffed with a 4000mAh battery to guarantee life. The thickness reaches 7.8mm, plus the weight of 180g. Although it is not thick, it is not the thinnest, but because of the metal frame itself. The connection between micro-arc and 3D-curved glass is tight, the grip of the whole machine is very good, and the texture is adequate. If you have to say the shortcomings, the contamination of the glass with fingerprints and oil is always unavoidable, but believe me, look good on mobile phone protection. The sleeve will not be more beautiful than the aurora color. Therefore, it will not be smeared. It is really dirty. The IP67's waterproof and dustproof level guarantees that you are very convenient when you are cleaning. We are always diligent in cleaning. Get dusty.

Speaking of the middle box, by the way, this power button, the middle of the red dotted kinda Mensao, quite retro meaning, recalling the previous electrical appliances, do not know the function, press the red button, most of it can open Power supply.

Turning over the front is a hot, heterogeneous all-round screen this year, or, say, Liu Haiping. Although some friends don’t like Liu Haiping’s designs, Liu Haiping’s actual use of the area is undoubtedly an increase in the environment and actual experience. For most consumers, as long as the adaptation is done well, it is not a big problem. The chin part is relatively wide in this year's new machine. This is because Huawei has positively contained in a limited space. Fingerprint identification elements, considering the extremely narrow space and the overlap between the inside of the fuselage and the Type-C interface, can be said to be Huawei's unique way of showing off.

Function: Kirin 970+ independent NPU performance without doubt

Kirin 970 is still the flagship level performance, coupled with the NPU's advantage in AI, this year's bustle will not be absent. Simply put Geekbench running points as a reference. As for AI performance from Lu master AI run sub-ranking also Can see the basic situation, the top four are swept, this shows that at least in terms of figure and power, with independent NPU has great advantages, as for Huawei's actual performance tuning, we leave behind to see.

Performance does not have much to say. It is powerful and reliable. Xiaobian only adds two small details in terms of functionality. The first is that EMUI 8.1 does a good job in endurance management. The background permissions and power consumption of each APP are With detailed monitoring and management, Huawei will have the default management mode after installation. Of course, if you want to manually change it, for example, Xiaobian will open the background permission for station B to use it for screen chat.

The second detail is related to music. As we all know, various manufacturers gradually began to abandon the 3.5mm headphone jack, which forced Xiaobian to only buy a Bluetooth headset for convenience. When purchasing, it was due to noise reduction and sound quality. Considered in two respects, Sony's WI 1000X was chosen. However, in actual use, there is no problem with noise reduction, and the sound quality of its killer LDAC has always been unable to be played.

LDAC itself is Sony's Bluetooth encoding compression technology, can achieve up to 990kbps transmission bit rate, can be a good way to avoid high-quality audio loss in the Bluetooth transmission process is too large. And SONY is also an early authorization of this technology to Google , Try to native support for Android O. But a year later, a bunch of new Oreo mobile phones are disappointing, and even the flagship of Xiaomi MIX 2S did not open this function, even if it enters the developer The option to manually turn on its switch, will automatically return to the default settings. In the P20 Pro, I finally experienced the full power of Sony LDAC skills, here to give Huawei a big praise.

Photographing: Hard power, AI bonus

Finally to the most important camera, hard power, 1/1.7 inch sensor is already a crown canon, f/1.6 large aperture, 40 million + 20 million + 8 million pixels Leica three camera, color temperature sensors are also excellent Photographic effects of the hardware foundation.

In addition, with the support of ISO up to 102400, 4D prediction tracking, 960fps super slow-motion video recording in 0.25 seconds, the P20 Pro seems to be invulnerable in the field of mobile imaging. However, after all, pictures are still based on proofs. At the same time, we also want to The actual test of the P20 Pro camera AI addition in the end effect of geometry.

First try Huawei's 3X optical zoom, 5X hybrid zoom performance.

(The following sample clicks can be used to view the big picture, but due to platform limitations, after necessary compression before uploading, today's headlines and other platforms capture the image when the compression quality of the secondary compression loss is more serious, if you need the original reference, you can use Weibo , WeChat and other ways to contact us @ Mobile Home iMobile)

It can be seen that in the 1X, 3X zoom, the optical zoom effect is indeed a lot stronger than the 2X zoom of the ordinary dual-camera phone, and the three-shot combination with the 5X hybrid zoom is also very good, the quality loss is basically acceptable Even within the 10X digital zoom, although the picture quality and resolution have all decreased significantly, but at the necessary time, it is fully available. PS. Under normal circumstances, it is recommended that you still try to choose 1-5X focal length.

The above three sets of proofs are mainly used to verify that AI photographers have no use. The actual effect is visible to the naked eye. In many scenes, the automatic optimization of turning on the AI ​​is even better than our manual selection of individual corresponding scenes. Samples of park benches The actual vegetation color is close to the degree of darkness in the automatic mode. The AI ​​is more vivid under the green reduction. Although it differs from the real scene, the picture will be more vivid and beautiful. As for the choice of real or artistic processing, the decision is right for you. In his own hands, the outstanding performance of the AI ​​photography masters, the following proofs, except for special instructions, were shot by the automatic AI camera master.

It can be seen that P20 Pro's proofs are very good in color, resolution, white balance, and exposure in a daytime environment. After AI processing, the contrast and texture of the screen become more prominent. The photos taken can be used straight out.

The night view is undoubtedly the strength of the P20 Pro. It is very large at the end. Normal night scenes only need to slightly increase the ISO shutter speed to make it clear and clean. In an ultra-dark environment, superior AIS (AI Image Stabilization) Anti-shake processing, in the handheld state, dares to boldly slow down the shutter time to 4 seconds or more, the key is to be able to normal out the film, this anti-shake I really served.

Summary: This AI, I admit to being a master

To sum up, P20 Pro can probably be regarded as the all-round flagship, and all aspects are the long-term items. Compared with other similarly main AI-based mobile phones, the P20 Pro really has a substantial experience gap, such as AI camera. Most of the AI ​​mobile phones are photographed for landscape optimization, and only P20 Pro has tried to understand the scene.

When Xiaobian was shooting the disassembled machine last week, he needed to take a picture of the chip on the motherboard. When he picked up the P20 Pro, it automatically turned on the 2x mode macro mode, which really was amazing to me. Although the scene recognition rate is still Limited, but this direction is open, I believe that Huawei will do better and better in the future, so that AI photography is no longer just a dry adjective.

As a mobile phone that is arguably the best flagship on the one hand, before I started working on the Huawei P20 Pro, I felt that there wasn’t much need for evaluation in terms of performance.
