We've previously established that Huawei is a pioneer when it comes to smartphones but this past year, thanks to the new Huawei Mate 20 Pro, we can confidently claim it's the most innovative device we've seen yet.

While many of the features that a smartphone ordinarily has are upgraded in the Huawei Mate 20 Pro, this device has a few special features that happen to go above and beyond what consumers expect from a mobile phone.

Wireless charging gets an upgrade

At Beiruting, we spend most of our waking hours covering events with live videos and images. The rare times that we're not covering an event, we're organizing our camera roll, using a multitude of apps to get tasks done, and publishing content. Knowing our new smartphone is equipped with a large 4200mAh battery is enough to make us ecstatic because we know that we will never have to worry about battery again, but what is truly incredible is the fact that the device supports 40W HUAWEI Supercharge which means that we can charge our phone to 70% in only 30 minutes! Now, the Wireless Reverse Charge option just adds icing to the cake: The fact that you can pair the back of the Huawei Mate 20 Pro with another device to "donate" battery fuel nearly transports you into the future.

A pocket-sized professional camera

If you were amazed with the Leica triple camera on the Huawei P20 Pro, just wait until you get a load of this! The new Huawei Mate20 Pro is a stunner with its symmetrically placed triple-lens camera on the rear end of the device. It boasts a 40MP main camera, a 20MP ultra wide-angle camera, and an 8MP telephoto camera, an innovative camera system unlike anything we've seen before. Users have quick and easy access to amazing night photography, realistic videos, detailed close-up shots thanks to the Super Macro mode, wide panoramas, beautification features, and time lapse, among other amazing features.

Additionally, with its 24MP front camera, be prepared for game-changing selfies. The device also offers an improved videography experience: The AI Portrait Color video mode uses AI and isolates human subjects, desaturating the colors around them to highlight the person. Also, AI Spotlight Reel identifies clips with a shared theme and auto-generates a montage, made entirely of highlights.Yes, even the amateur can look like a pro and being in a hurry when taking pictures or capturing quick videos, is no longer an issue.

The Kirin 980 CPU runs faster than the time it takes for you to say "Huawei"

Huawei adopts the 7nm process technology for its Kirin 980 and that alone, leads it to surpass expectations, making it the fastest processer we've ever laid our eyes on.  In fact, Kirin 980 is the best of the best, featuring top-class intelligence, performance, efficiency and communications features, delivering, without any doubt, the richest user experience.

Other innovative features

The device offers you yet another new and noteworthy feature, the HiVision: Mimicking the role of an encyclopedia and by leveraging the Al capabilities of the device, it is able to identify and give you information about various objects in the real world such as historic landmarks and famous artworks. It can also estimate calories and give you prices of objects you see on the streets, guiding you to the nearest place that sells them. Unbelievable... But it's not all. Huawei Mate 20 Pro's security measures are highly sophisticated and innovative: In fact, it features a unique in-screen fingerprint sensor which achieves better speed and success rates than any other phone in the market or any of Huawei's predecessors.

The advanced battery, unique camera, top performance, sophisticated security measures and new exciting features that the Huawei Mate 20 Pro touts are incomparable and probably the best thing we've seen from any smartphone all year. We can't wait to see what Huawei has in store for us in 2019!
