Ah, when having 3 cameras on a smartphone was a differentiating factor lol

I love that color so much I can't breath

2020 recommendations 🤣

It's in the UK. I just bought one at Vodafone and they are deffo trying to push these models. I don't blame them it's nearly half the price monthly. It's an amazing phone I love mine. I came into the store looking for a Galaxy and even though it would make them more money they recommended this phone. When I asked the origin, they said it's a Chinese company basically trying to enter the market quickly. I welcome this lol. Apple is overated.

Totally agree, it's a phone you really want to love, but it's just not quite there. Great video as always 👍 (Couldn't find a 45 degree thumbs up)

KZfaq getting really brave with these unskippable 30 seconds ads

I own this phone. The camera comments from MKBHD here are not completely accurate. He is talking about 10mp auto shots. 40mp shots from this phone are insanely amazing. No over sharpening etc... I think this camera deserevs a more comprehensive review. It's the best camera I have ever used. Photos need editing and post processing yes but after you twick them they are the best and years ahead of other smart phone cameras.

still the best camera on the market for low light, no matter how many phones i review, p20 pro still comes up on top...

Love your channel but you did forget some very important things. 1. 40 mp raw The 10mp files are ok but it's way too much on the sharpening. When you use the 40mp raw option you will be blown away. With the 40mp you can also use noise reduction afterwards. 2. Nightmode is not mentioned This is a magic mode. 4 seconds exposure without tripod that turn out loads of details and Dynamics 3. You can disable ai (which I do) 4. Huawei share Make the phone appear as a network share for easy transport between phone Mac and PC. 5. You can set the camera up for double press the volume button to just start up the camera without taking the shot. So you're in the camera mode within 0.3 seconds ready to take the shot 6. 1080p video is the smoothest I ever saw from any phone. 4k is.... Well not garbage but it's not good if you need stabilization indeed. 7. Would be nice to mention the supercharge option which can recharge the battery really fast. Much faster than my iPhone and note 8 ever did. And taking into account the battery is a lot larger. No review can be complete but I think for cameras these are very important. Don't see it as critique btw. Just adding my thoughts ;)

Dbrand need to make that gradient back cover.

You have viewers from all over the world where this phone is sold, so please do review all phones and give your recommendation. Not only to the ones sold in the US

No joke but this is the prettiest phone ever made.

Not coming to usa = cant recommend it to many people? What? Not everybody lives in usa 😀

US population 326,766,748. Population of the Asian region is 4,436,224,000.Thats not even taking into account other continents. So yes, you can recommend it to people because there are 194 countries in the world excluding US.

Camera is awesome, I'm a tour guide in Antelope canyon and a lady from Spain brought a P20. It was taking excellent pics

I have seen, touched & tested in a Dubai store last week... It was amazing. Planning to buy one soon.

This phone is a flagship of beauty. And the filmography makes it even more pretty

10 years later, Marques : Pixel 2 is better than this Samsung S20 Pro XL

I actually really like the text on the back of the phone, it reminds me of oldschool Japanese electronics where they would write all the things everywhere on the device. It makes it cooler I think.

I absolutely adore this phone. By far the best phone I've ever owned. Night mode on the camera is absolutely insane. The video at 60fps is so, so smooth. The front camera is fantastic. The speakers are good and basey and have Dolby sound. Screen is amazing. Just a wonderful phone.

*The cinematography in the video was on point* Marques your video qualities are improving day by day

You should have talked about the "night mode" which allows long exposure without a tripod. I think this function alone puts p20 in a league of its own as No other flagships can capture this much light in total darkness

Killer review, I came to get some pointers, gonna try to bring my A game next time! Good job.

this video is sponsored by Google Pixel

You didn't use night mode in p20 pro it does much better than pixel in low light.

Incredible production quality on this video... Professional af!

I am on my second Huawei Phone also bought my wife a Huawei tablet (much better than the Samsung one she had before). Great value, great quality machine. I only have the P9 lite, but still think it's a great machine and in blue it looks awesome.

Just 1 year ago 3 cameras on a smartphone were something special...

new 2019 smart phone: **has 20 cameras**

With Marques being such a fan of videography, I'm surprised he never reviewed the *LGV30.* Not just because of the 2nd camera being wide angle (much more useful than telephoto), but because it records in Log format. To my knowledge I don't think any other phone has that feature. With that kind of raw control I thought he would love it.

It's taken me this long to finally upgrade my P20 Pro to a Pixel 6 Pro. And honestly I could've lasted another year or two. Great phone.

Kirin970 has NPU, which optimizes the performance of the phone over time, will store your biometric data and not share it with government, translates language and so on. The display is RGBW which is not addressed. The chipset has download and upload speeds way higher than any chipset. Huawei chose not to do OIS in 4K recording(not chipset's fault, don't know why people want to do 4K recording and eat up space). And its a liitle cheaper than S9+, Pixel2XL and a boring IphoneX(who is following android's trends and doing nothing special). P20 is still not perfect, but it is the best in town. Period.

Thoughts: --The chipset is better than last year's snapdragon 835 - worth mentioning --The "Smart Screenshot feature" which you "disabled" (but thought it didn't turn off still) is actually a quick app launch or split screen feature which can both be disabled in Settings-Smartassistance-motioncontrol --You can choose to take pictures in 40 megapixels. --Ultra snapshot feature can be changed to only open the camera app and not take a photo immediately. --For low light pictures you did not use or even mention the (yes, AI-powered) Night Mode which is pretty incredible.

Hey Marques, You've gone international now, we in Europe watch you too. So it is not coming to the US doesn't mean you don't have to review it for the rest of us. Just saying..

A friend has got one and I’m blown away by the photos he has taken, insanely good.

6:39 this pretty much summarize this review 😂👌 *a whole mood*

Marques, you didn't try the Night mode on the P20? It definitely beats the Pixel 2 and every other phone in low light.

To my mind it looks actually pretty good with the text on the back.

When you go back 3 years to watch a video in order to make the right decision.

I would buy this phone because of the camera. The pictures look amazing almost as good as a professional camera. I first heard about this phone when I've seen some photos taken by a professional photographer and I really could't believe that they were taken with a phone. Today, I've seen another person who posted some pictures on FB and I know she has an iPhone but these pictures she posted today looked so good I wanted to ask her what camera she used.... until I got to the last one who had the phone logo on the bottom of the picture. AMAZING PHOTOS WITHOUT A DOUBT! I wish they offered this phone in the U.S. too. I did find the international model on ebay but I'm reluctant to buy it not knowing if it will really work ok with tmobile. I'm not crazy about the no SD card and non removable battery but for a great camera in a phone, I'm willing to overlook that. Great review, thanks!

Hi Marques. Cool video, it really is a shame that you cant buy the phone in the US. You should try the Night Mode, it really is something amazing that no other phone can even come close and blows away any other photo taken at night without tripod. Keep up the awesome videos man ;)

Wait wait I think this time you missed the 5-second handheld exposure in night mode.

Good job on Huawei for really putting effort for some competition. Respect for the Under dogs💯

Its funny how 3 cameras was a huge deal back in the day

marques, can you please look more into the cameramodes and talk about them. Not talking about 30s shutter options and iso settings in pro mode or mentioning nighmode is something you really really missed out on in my opinion. I'm using these modes during night and well not a single phone in the next 12 months will come close to what these modes can output very very easily. cheers!!

Can we just get it over with and have a phone with 40 cameras, so the back is 100% camera

I think you forgot to use its night model which is way much better than pixel 2 xl

Am I the only one that always waits for Marques' videos?

You didn't try the night mode?!!!😕

Great video Marques, but I’m surprised you didn’t mention the handheld night mode on the P20 Pro which is absolutely incredible and blows the Pixel, iPhone or S9 out of the water.

You and MrWhoseTheBoss reviews are just the best. You quantify on all your points, and I like the way you use perspective, like the B+ explanation of the camera Vs the more expensive competition. It's very good. Average reviewers just don't do this.

just for that 20syl action in the back this video is uplifted to god tier level

I actually like the text on the back

That Leica branding below the cameras look sweet 👌✨

I'm sure you realize that people all over the world watch your videos! So to say something like I generally won't review good devices cause they won't be available in the states is just plain stupid! Glad you did review this one and hope you do so more often. It really helps!

You have fans all over the world who watch your review so your efforts don't go in vain. We really appreciate your detailed reviews and it helps us in deciding which phone to buy. So please do review every phone whether released in U.S. or not.

Thicc phones > skinny phones

Dear Samsung, please borrow (STEAL) this back color for the S10! Is just amazing looking, wow 🤯

I feel huwawei will crush 2019

Thanks for this in-depth review!

Not being a hater but you did not try the night mode on the p20 pro if you haf tried it i think you would say it takes the best low light images

Hey mkbhd , you have other followers as well who are not is US, I am surprised to hear that statement that you don't want to read it is not available in US

I had one before, was my second favorite phone I ever owned, first one being a fold 3, but i just loved my P20 pro, was so unique at the time, sad that Huawei is "gone"

"gonna do the best with the camera I have... [Red Dragon]... Oh Marques. We love your vids brother! That phone gradient colour is fresh and dope as all hell

DAT intro 👌🏼

Android be having 3 cameras but there Snapchat story’s still be looking like footage straight out of WW2

Back when 3 cameras was a huge feature.

20Syl is so dope. That intro was perfect.

you should have talked about night mode

No mention of the incredible night mode and so much criticism towards AI which is just an option. Also, no mention of their battery charging which is pretty darn good considering massive size of the battery. And yes, the UI can make you remind of the Samsung skins but EMUI is super fast even after months of use which is very unlike Samsung's. Just my observations. But yeah, you are the man..!

It is really fun and amazing to watch mkbhd's video ... brilliant camera shots .. music. And info woow......just makes the experience

This is the best phone review I have heard I centuries because this guy tells the truth about the phone and everything he sees from ros and cons and true experience. Other channels just get paid to make a good review. Loved this review, thumbs up + subscribed. Keep up

I think the texts at the back is better than the plain boring back or huge ass logo you suggested. Huawei doesn't really have a "pretty" logo. you know your tech but sometimes your taste in design is questionable. in my opinion that is.

Your viewer base is not just from America. It was dispointing to know that you dont review tech just because its not going to be sold in America. It explains alot why you dont review phones that are popular in other continents but not in America.

Big K.R.I.T. is so dope! Saw him on the notification bar and just had to comment about it lol

balanced review, but you forgot to mention the black and white camera which produces stunning results!

Why didn't you use night mode for night shot comparison?

I owned one, the camera is amazing when you play around with the setting, in auto point and shoot, it's a hit and miss. But currently there is a lot of problem with the software, hopefully the next update can fixed that.

Really liked this review. I'm considering an upgrade to this phone👌🏾

Love this phone the pictures it produces are just amazing just wish I could of got the twilight purple one instead of the standard black one

Long story short, he still prefers the pixle 2. You can't change his mind when google is filling his pockets.

It's not coming to the US but you could easily order one from AliExpress and get it in quick time.... I don't see the problem here...

I'm here because I'm looking for an affordable phone and have been burned by the galaxy 4 and 6. I refuse to pay full price for bad phones. I checked out your oneplus 6 vid, and now I'm here to check out huawei. I really appreciate your information. You are doing a great job explaining the phones, Marques.

Just got mine, spent ages considering it. Well wow what a phone amazing, the camera is simply astounding, everyone raving about my pics and want me to send them to them. Honestly the best pics from a phone I have ever seen. Get it.

completely disagree with you about the small text on the back, it looks way prettier than huawei logo

As a Chinese, Normally I should be proud to see all the spotlight on a Chinese brand, it is actually a decent phone to be honest but I've also been disgusted by the company. Their marketing strategy which deliberately try to link buying an Huawei phone to patriotism and they refuse to apologize or make compensations after been exposed for false advertising of mixing slower memory chips in P10. But they do put a lot of investment in Chinese media, manipulating public opinions. I would choose an Xiaomi phone over Huawei, the publicity of this company is just degrading.

You should make a review of his young brother, the Huawei p20 lite. I really want to know that it worth it, thanks!! ;)

Just bought one. I mostly agree with your review (damn, as usual! :D)

Holy shit when you thought the video quality couldn't get any better😍

The Camera of P20 is still better than that of Pixel, Marques focused on fewer details of this phone and its abit disappointing given other reviews he does. People looking for a full review of Huawei phones should look somewhere else! MKBHD is abit biased on huawei phones though he is one of my best reviewers

"Using this phone since launch, replaced the battery two years ago, and it's still going strong. Camera quality might not match today's standards, but overall, it's a solid device. Rewatching the review that convinced me to buy it before making the switch to the Samsung S24. Thanks, MKBHD! ❤️"

"I'm trying to do the best with the camera I have" Probably shot this with a RED lol

What about the Night Mode on p20 pro???

So nothing about handheld night mode,three different focus mode,or shooting with only 40mp? I think the camera technology in this phone is one generation ahead of the others,there is so much thing going on... And RAW photos quality is much better than the competition

I'm coming from the future ,and this phone is still good ❤

Thank you for this review, I'm in the UK and just decided to get one of these on contract 😊

You missed the best fucking feature, night mode ffs 🙄🙄

"Marques please talk about the *AI* in this phone" //proceeds to talk about camera automatic enhancement//

You're a great reviewer! Cool review bro

you're an amazing reviewer. best on KZfaq.
