[7] [8] An update to Android 10 and EMUI 10 was later released; it is not planned to be updated to EMUI 10.1. [9] [10] Reception [ edit ] Problem is, this isn’t a bug. Due to Huawei’s ongoing issues with the U.S., Huawei is not allowed to use Google’s services — which means no Play Store, no Google Maps, and none of Google’s other services. Start by going to Settings > Battery > More (gear icon at top right) and make sure that Keep Wi-Fi on is set to Always and Keep mobile data on is toggled on.

However, the Samsung does a slightly better job of appearing to be 'all screen' front-on, because the Huawei's screen does not curve around at the sides. Only the glass does, and just the last millimeter or so at that. With regards to audio, unlike the P20 Pro, the standard model only pushes sound out of this single loudspeaker, leaving the earpiece for phone calls only. Not only does this mean mono audio, but the placement means I found myself occasionally covering it with my palm when holding the phone one-handed, and when in a landscape orientation. This all changes when you use the Huawei P20 Pro's Night mode, though. It's nestled fairly deep in the camera app, but is one of the phone's most impressive features. Like most other high-end Huawei phones, the P20 Pro does not have the highest display resolution in its class. This is a 1080 x 2244 AMOLED screen.It charges fast too. The supplied fast charger takes 1 hour 24 minutes to get the Huawei P20 Pro from completely flat to 100%. It takes 45 minutes to get from 0% to 80%. Pixel density of 408ppi isn't even close to the 529ppi of the Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus. The only time you're likely to notice though is when using a phone-based VR headset – and if that fad isn't dead, it is at least dormant. Han, Lu (2019-07-25). "Here are all the EMUI 9.1 features for Huawei P20 and P20 Pro". Huawei Central . Retrieved 2019-08-15. Make sure that you are using the cable and charger that came with your Huawei P20 Pro and it is plugged into a working wall outlet.

Overall, build quality feels on a par with the P20 Pro, which is to say Huawei has clearly worked hard to ensure a high standard of fit and finish across every element of the P20’s form. Its glass and metal body is also equipped with IP53 certification, so while it isn’t technically as hardy against dust and water ingress as the Samsung Galaxy S9 or its bigger sibling, the P20 Pro, it can withstand the elements to a point. There’s a set of grilles along the bottom of the P20 Pro, situated either side of the USB-C slot that conceals one of two speakers and the microphone. Similarly to HTC’s Hi-Fi BoomSound arrangement, this downward-facing speaker handles most of the heavy lifting when you’re enjoying media. Collectively the Pro’s audio capabilities are respectable; with clean, clear, powerful sound (for a smartphone) that only breaks down at the upper limits of its range. Noticeably absent is a 3.5mm headphone port – something to bear in mind if you’re not a fan of dongles (Huawei throws one in-box) or Bluetooth headphones. Several people have discovered their microphone on the Huawei P20 appears to go in and out while recording. Many reports of this issue were seen in threads on the XDA Developers forum ; They say the glitch was most noticeable while trying to make a call and while trying to leave audio and video messages.

Hardware

Look in Settings > Wireless & networks > Mobile data or Data usage and make sure that Data saver is off. There are software improvements to the camera as well, including “AI” image stabilisation, which allows you to shoot four-second long exposure images with little handshake or blur. It’s a technique that works surprisingly well, with the phone capturing detail-rich images in low-light, without too much visual noise. The Huawei P20 Pro's camera is an interesting jigsaw puzzle of technology. But are its actual, normal images any good?
