HUAWEI P20 Pro Twilight Edition Hands-On Preview!

HUAWEI released just 500 of their P20 Pro Twilight smartphones to a great reception last night. We got our grubby hands on the HUAWEI P20 Pro Twilight Edition, to see for ourselves the allure of the Twilight colour.

Check out our hands-on preview, and see why the P20 Pro Twilight Edition (Price Check) is definitely our favourite model!

 

The Huawei P20 Pro

The P20 Pro has a 6.1″ OLED display with a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2240 pixels. It is powered by the HiSilicon Kirin 970 octa-core SoC, with 6 GB of LPDDR4 memory128 GB of internal storage, and a 4,000 mAh battery.

The front camera has a 24 MP sensor, with f/2.0 lens. The “killer feature” is its Leica-branded triple lens camera, which is made up of a high-resolution dual-lens camera, and a separate telephoto camera.

The high-resolution dual-lens camera pairs a 40 MP RGB camera with f/1.8 lens, with a 20 MP monochrome camera with f/1.6 lens. The separate 8 MP RGB camera with f/2.4 telephotos lens is capable of 3X optical zoom, and 5X hybrid zoom.

No, the Twilight Edition (Price Check) does not refer to the Twilight Saga… but the Northern Lights. This is a new colour option for the HUAWEI P20 Pro that was inspired by the Aurora Borealis. Take a look at how nice it looks!
