[Super speed review] I took a picture with a high -performance camera with SIM anymore ...!

Huawei Mate 20 Pro, the latest flagship announced by Huawei on October 16.Although the release of Japan has not been announced yet, the previous model "HUAWEI MATE 10 Pro" was released with SIM -free models and also released by SoftBank.Because it is the highest model of Huawei, it will definitely be released in Japan.

The author, who interviewed the presentation held in London, was able to use the "Huawei Mate 20 Pro" as soon as possible.As I said earlier, the camera is amazing.

I was surprised by the "P9" equipped with Leica's double lens for the first time, "Mate 10 Pro" that supported AI, and "P20 Pro", which became three eyes, but this time Mate 20 Pro.I was more surprised.For example, it may be close to the first time you buy a single -lens reflex camera and enjoy shooting while changing the lens.It seems that I can take a better photo than expected, and I think that I may think, "I may have raised the arm in the photo."

The super -wide corner scale up the fun of a smartphone camera!

Huawei Mate 20 Pro has a triple lens camera supervised by Leica.The P20 PRO released this summer was also a triple camera, but the Mate 20 Pro is a new camera system.

The P20 Pro was a monochrome + color + 3x zoom, but the Mate 20 Pro all three sensors are colored.The main used is a 40 million pixel wide -angle camera, the focal length is 27mm and the aperture value is F1.8.A newly 20 million pixel ultra -wide -angle camera is installed, F2.2 at 27mm.And the 8 million pixel telephoto camera is 80mm and F2.4.You can take a picture from 16mm (about 0.6 times) to 80mm (about 3 times).

I think that there are few people who use digital single -lens who buy ultra -wide -angle lenses.Mate 20 Pro can easily take a wide -angle views that are difficult to shoot with a digital camera.Moreover, the distortion that tends to occur at the end of the photo is not bothered.This ultra -wide -angle shooting was fun, and during my stay in London, I took an ultra -wild photo.Let me show you some photos you like.

Up to 5 times, the zoom that can be taken with high image quality is amazing!

The weak point of the smartphone camera is that you cannot zoom.Isn't there a lot of people who feel that?For models equipped with a dual camera, there are models that can be shot in double optical, combining wide -angle + telephoto.That's the case with iPhone XS and Galaxy S9 +.Still, I'm grateful, but Mate 20 Pro can be taken with triple optical zoom.In addition, the "hybrid zoom", which combines digital zoom, claims that the image quality does not deteriorate up to 5 times.So, I took a picture.

The red door that looks small in the distance is clear even if you zoom up so far.Personally, I hope that it will be useful in a press conference, such as when you can't take a seat close to the stage, or even if you can't take the whole thing because it's too close to the stage.

The impression that AI is so effective that it is not aware of it

Huawei Mate 20 Pro is equipped with a SoC called "Kirin 980". It is a great chip that realized various "world's first", and the details are omitted here, but it is okay to expect the top -class performance with Android smartphones. The most important advantage is that it has two -core NPUs (neural network processing units) that perform AI processing. This improves the subject and scene recognition accuracy at the time of shooting, recognizing up to 10 elements in the frame, and optimizing each. I wasn't strongly aware of the effect, but in the conventional Mate 10 Pro and P20 Pro, I felt uncomfortable with AI color adjustments and sometimes turned off AI. And it has been reduced. Also, I feel that the identification speed by AI has also increased.

A function called "AI Hivision" using a camera has also been added.What was interesting was the function that displays the calorie amount when the camera is held over the food.When I saw the demonstration at the hands -on venue after the recital, I was excited, "What's this amazing!"According to a later investigation, it seems that Huawei is not developed in -house, but incorporates an application called "Azumio" that searches for calories from images.However, the results are displayed in just 1-2 seconds, which can be considered as the benefits of "Kirin 980".It will be a diet awareness.Also, "AI Hivision" also has a translation function, which was also surprised by its processing speed.

A compact high -performance camera with SIM anymore

Almost all of the cameras, Huawei Mate 20 Pro is a monster smartphone with many other things that you think "amazing!"The fingerprint sensor is installed in the display, the 3D face authentication can be used, and the unlock is quick.4200mAh is not a day even if you use it quite a bit, and it is interesting not only to charge wireless charging, but also to supply wireless power to other devices.

But after all, the motivation for buying is the camera.Rather than a "smartphone with a high -performance camera", it is an impression like a "high -performance camera with a smartphone".It would be ant to buy it as a second smartphone for the camera only.

But what is worrisome is the price.The price in Europe is 1049 euros (about 135,600 yen).If it is released in Japan, it will be a reasonable price.Probably it will exceed 100,000 yen.It's expensive.But it's a terminal that you still want to buy.
