Huawei Mate 20 X

The Huawei Mate 20 X costs an eye-catching 76,999 INR – Is it worth the investment? The smartphone comes with an enormous 7.2-inch Full HD OLED screen. This makes for a fantastic movie, and TV shows streaming experience. In fact, it more than compensates for the lack of a tablet or laptop in your kitty. The Huawei Mate 20 X also comes with a powerful Kirin 980 chipset, 6 GB of RAM, and 128 GB of internal storage space. 

Unfortunately, if you want to expand your memory, you must remove one of your SIM cards, as the smartphone has a hybrid slot. The smartphone features a massive 5000mAh battery, and an incredible triple-camera system, perfect for photography of the highest quality. 

The Huawei Mate 20 X comes with a dual-glass body, with a metal frame. The smartphone is massive in size, and cannot be used with one hand. The Huawei Mate 20 X has limited redundant bezel space, which in turn maximizes the body-to-screen ratio of the smartphone. Considering the smartphone’s 7.2-inch display screen, that’s a lot of space to play with. 

With respect to the smartphone’s body size, it is relatively thin, at 8.2 mm. That being said, the smartphone weighs 232 grams and is quite substantial. The smartphone comes with a rear-mounted triple-camera system and a fingerprint sensor at the back. Huawei’s signature logo lay at the bottom centre of the smartphone.

The Huawei Mate 20 X comes with a massive 7.2-inch Full HD, OLED screen. This makes for mesmerizing movie and soap viewing, one of the many perks of owning a Huawei Mate 20 X. The smartphone also comes with a resolution of 2244×1080 pixels and a pixel density of 346 PPI. All these factors into the smartphone’s enjoyable viewing experience.

The smartphone also comes with an 18:7:9 aspect ratio, and the option to tweak temperature, colour mode, and schedule a blue light filter. If the smartphone’s waterdrop notch is obstructing your viewing experience, you can choose to black it out. Convenient, right?

The Huawei Mate 20 X is powered by a wonderfully performance-oriented Kirin 980 chipset, which compares favourably with the chipsets in other high-end smartphones. The smartphone also comes with 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of internal memory storage space. While you can expand your smartphone’s memory, it comes at a cost; you must remove a SIM card to accommodate a memory card.

The smartphone also comes with a dedicated gaming Mali-G76 MP10 GPU. The smartphone performs day-to-day activities admirably, and intensive actions like editing large images and videos too, do not affect its performance. While the smartphone does not experience any lag while gaming, more was expected of the Huawei Mate 20 X, when it comes to its gaming performance.

For its price, the Huawei Mate 20 X has done reasonably well with its triple-camera system. The Huawei mate 20 X’s rear-mounted quad-camera system comes with a 40 MP primary lens, with an f/1.8 aperture, an 8 MP telephoto lens with an f/2.4 aperture and Optical Image Stabilization, as well as a tertiary 20 MP ultra-wide shooter, with an f/2.2 aperture. This triple-camera setup allows for 3x optical zoom and 5x hybrid zoom.  

You can take detailed Bokeh-styled pictures, and ultra-wide shots as well. The camera system takes brilliant photos in the right lighting conditions, while it tends to overexpose images in low lighting conditions. The smartphone also comes with a Master AI Mode, which chooses a shooting mode, from a range of pre-selected modes, in accordance with the subject you are capturing.

You can take beautiful 4K ultra HD videos with the smartphone’s rear camera system. The Huawei Mate 20 X also comes with a 24 MP lens, with an f/2.0 aperture. While the smartphone’s front camera is not as proficient as its rear system, it enables decent selfie-taking.    

The Huawei Mate 20 X comes with a gigantic 5000mAh battery. Considering the smartphone’s 7.2-inch display screen, and performance-oriented specifications, a large battery does the Huawei Mate 20 X justice. The smartphone’s battery lasts long when fully charged, and can run for 1-2 days when used favourably. Even when the smartphone is used intensively, the smartphone’s battery fares well.

The Huawei Mate 20 X comes with 22.5 W fast charging, which is decent. Unfortunately, the smartphone does not come with wireless charging, or reverse-wireless charging technology; which would seem to be a given, considering the smartphone’s hefty price, and lofty specifications. 

Priced at 76,999 INR, the Huawei Mate 20 X is expensive. The smartphone comes with several impressive features, including a massive 7.2-inch display screen, ideal for watching movies and shows. The Huawei Mate 20 X also comes with long battery life, an eye-catching design, water and dust resistance, and a fantastic triple-camera system on the smartphone’s rear.

The Huawei Mate 20 X comes with 6 GB of RAM, as well as 128 GB of internal memory storage space, which can be expanded at the cost of a SIM card. The smartphone’s gaming performance is disappointing, as is its front camera. 

Nevertheless, the Huawei mate 20 X is perfect for smartphone lovers with a high-budget, looking to buy a performance-oriented device, has a massive display screen, and long battery life. That being said, there are several better smartphones on the market, which provide higher value for money.
