Man Spotted Holding Huawei Mate 20 Pro In A Subway Train

The next-gen Mate 20 series phone will be launched on October 16 in London

Huawei is all set to launch its next-gen Mate 20 series phones on October 16 at an event in London. Prior to the release of Huawei Mate 20 and the Mate 20 Pro smartphones, a new photo has just hit the web which shows a man holding what appears to be a Huawei Mate 20 Pro as he takes a subway ride.

While the front of the handset looks rather indistinct in the alleged picture, the back of the device is very clearly visible. There’s a triple-camera squircle setup at the back with a twilight coloring body.

Notably, Huawei has already confirmed that the two Mate 20 smartphones will be the industry’s first to come with the latest in-house HiSilicon Kirin 980 SoC, first launched at IFA 2018. It is touted to be the world’s first commercial 7nm (nanometre) system-on-chip (SoC), equipped with artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities. The 7nm process delivers 20 percent improved SoC performance and 40 percent more efficiency as compared to the previous generation 10nm process.

Both Huawei Mate 20 and Mate 20 Pro are expected to arrive with “Bone Voice ID” technology that will allow users to unlock the phones with their voice.

Among other specs, the Huawei Mate 20 Pro is expected to feature a 6.9-inch QHD+ OLED display, 6GB RAM, 128GB inbuilt storage, a 4,200mAh battery, with support for SuperCharge 2.0, a 24-megapixel, triple-lens camera pixel camera around the back, an in-display fingerprint sensor alongside 3D face recognition technology, front-facing stereo speakers, IP67 water and dust resistance rating, and run EMUI 9.0 on top of Android 9.0 Pie, the latest version of Google’s operating system.

Huawei Mate 20 is rumored to come with a 6.53-inch flat IPS panel with a full-HD+ resolution and 18.7:9 aspect ratio, 4GB of RAM, 24-megapixel front-facing camera, a 4,000 mAh battery, a physical rear-mounted fingerprint sensor, IP53 dust- and waterproof rating, and a 3.5mm headphone jack.
