For the past few months, Huawei has been making headlines for all the wrong reasons — the US government warned against buying the company"s phones, which led khổng lồ the breakdown of near-final giao dịch with AT&T & Verizon. Then Best Buy, one of its few US retail partners, backed away too. We"re not sure if the concerns hold any weight, but one thing is clear: It sucks khổng lồ be Huawei right now.

And in the midst of that turmoil, Huawei revealed its new P20 Pro, a remarkably well-built device with a triple camera system and loads of style. I doubt that would ever win over a Sinophobic bureaucrat though, so there"s a strong chance no one in the US will ever be able lớn walk into a store & buy one. That"s a shame because after using it as my daily driver for a while, I"m convinced it"s one of Huawei"s all-time best, and one of the year"s great app android phones.

The P20 Pro"s back might grab all the attention, but there"s a lot going on up front, too. Huawei went with a 6.1-inch OLED screen that runs at 2240x1080 — for those of you keeping track, that"s a 18.7:9 aspect ratio, which means the screen is a little more than twice as tall as it is wide. 18:9 screens are much more common, but the company"s decision here has ensured two things. First, the phone never feels unwieldy or uncomfortable. Và more important, that slice of extra space up vị trí cao nhất offers some flexibility when it comes to lớn the notch.

Yeah, yeah, the notch. Going off everything we"ve seen so far, it seems safe to call 2018 the year of the notched điện thoại screen. The cutout here provides space for the earpiece and the 24-megapixel front camera, and after those first few moments, the notch is easily overlooked. If you hate them on principle, though, there"s an option khổng lồ obscure the notch entirely with a đen bar -- since that leaves us with a standard 18:9 display, you"ll still get to lớn see everything you need khổng lồ on-screen.

Otherwise, the display doesn"t leave us with much else khổng lồ talk about. Colors were vivid và punchy, and despite being spoiled by 2K screens, I have few complaints. I bởi vì wish the screen was a bit brighter, though: It"s finally starting khổng lồ get nice in thủ đô new york City, & the screen is sometimes tough to lớn see in broad daylight.

A few more things worth pointing out: The P20 Pro is rated IP67 for water- và dust-resistance, & it survived a couple runs through the rain with no trouble. There"s also no headphone jack, và while that"s not as big as a deal as it was last year, it still stings. The pack-in earbuds are nicer than I expected, but the real surprise was the P20 Pro"s main speaker — it can sound a little hollow, but it"s among the loudest on a smartphone.

Huawei"s Leica triple camera feels like a game-changer.

The cameras

As handsome as the phone is, the P20"s kiến thiết isn"t the star here — it"s the insane Leica triple-camera system. At first, the idea of combining a 40-megapixel RGB camera, a 20-megapixel monochrome camera and an 8-megapixel telephoto camera seemed lượt thích overkill. Ultimately, the way these three come together is seriously special. Lưu ý the word "special," not "perfect". There are some shortcomings here, but I honestly cannot remember the last time I had this much fun shooting photos with a smartphone.
