Huawei Mate 20 Pro Tipped To Finally Have A New Resolution

Huawei has been heavily promoting its high-end flagships, like the Huawei P20 Pro this year and the Huawei Mate 10 Pro before it. But like many Chinese OEMs, these premium phones fall short in one particular aspect: Screen resolution. In an age of QHD, even QHD+, screens, Huawei's top models still max out at Full HD or Full HD+. For those who believe more is always better, then the Huawei Mate 20 Pro might finally give them what they've been wishing for.

The Huawei P20 Pro, launched in April, has a 6.1-inch 2240x1080 FHD+ screen that also brought Huawei's first notch. Huawei's late 2017 champion, the Mate 10 Pro, had a 6.0-inch 2160x1080 display. No notch. According to Mobielkopen's digging, the Mate 20 Pro will get 1440x3120 pixels. That's QHD+ with a notch.

This would make the Mate 20 Pro the company's first QHD+ phone, perhaps even its first QHD phone. Now while it's definitely fancy to have all those pixels crammed in such a small space, it's not always a clear win, depending on the user. Some users seem fine with Full HD and a higher resolution screen will always consume more power. That is why OnePlus hasn't made that jump yet.

That might not be the only big thing about the Huawei Mate 20 Pro either. According to rumors, it will also have a large 6.9-inch screen, which would be one of the biggest in the market. How much that will affect the Mate 20 Pro's ease and comfort of use, we'll have to wait next month to see. That said, there will also be the non-QHD 6.3-inch Huawei Mate 20 for those with smaller requirements.
