■ファーウェイ「P20 Pro」徹底レビュー【前編】【中編】【後編】

The body design of the P20 Pro has been greatly changed from the conventional model P10 series.

The use of a gentle curve metal frame is the same, but by adopting glass on the back, the texture is greatly enhanced from the P10 series.The back glass is curved surface processing around the side of the side, and the smooth feel is very high quality from the side to the back.At the same time, a very glossy processing enhances the sense of luxury.However, the body is quite slippery.It seems that you need to be careful when falling unexpectedly, as it will slip even at a slight angle on the table.

The prominent on the back side is the first smartphone, a triple lens camera with three lenses.This camera is mounted so that the lens is lined up vertically.In the conventional P10 series, the camera was installed on the upper part of the back so that the lens was lined up to the main unit, so this is a major change.

The fact that the lens part of the camera is quite large from the main unit is also an unprecedented part.Moreover, the main two lenses out of the three lenses have jumped out of about 2 mm.Therefore, it is somewhat unstable if the back side is placed on the table below.In addition, since the lens part hits a table, etc., I feel that I want to use a case that protects the camera part if possible.

The design on the front side has also changed significantly since the past.The display resolution is 1,080 x 2,240 dots, and the aspect ratio is 18.A vertical display is slightly higher than 7: 9 and 2: 1.The size is 6.It is type 1, and the type of display is an organic EL panel.

On top of that, the display occupies the front of the main unit and the left and right.Since the fingerprint authentication sensor is placed at the bottom, some frames remain, but the ratio of displays for the body is still higher than the conventional P10.

The biggest change in the display is that the cut -off (so -called notch) is prepared on the upper front camera and speaker.If you look at the P20 Pro for the first time, including the back design, you will feel a very close design to the iPhone X.This may be something you are aiming for, but I think it would have been a bit more unique design.

Although it is a notch part of the display, it is specialized in displaying various notification icons and time, and when displaying videos and photos, it is displayed without the cut part.In addition, there is a setting that displays the notification icon or the like as a black backing.With that setting, you can use the notch with almost no noticeable.

The notch cuts have appeared on Android smartphones since they were adopted on the iPhone X, but they are pros and cons to adoption.However, if you change the display mode of the notch in the P20 Pro, you can effectively use the display area of the notes without feeling the existence of the notch.It is a very good impression that it is possible to use it without a notch while having a notch.

The global version of the body color is a lineup of black, twilight, pink gold, and midnight blue, but this time I tried midnight blue.In the docomo version released in Japan, there are two colors, Black and Midnight Blue.
