Huawei has shocked the world with its upcoming smartphone known as Huawei Mate 20 RS Porsche Design. For one thing, it looks very much like the Mate 20 Pro in design, and when you hold it, you feel like you are holding the latter too much. This device will be up for pre-order on November 16, 2018.
For another, it is too expensive for a mid-range smartphone. And it’s not just about the price. It’s got a notch above the screen just like the Mate 20 Pro had when it was released earlier this year. Let us check out the full performance specifications of the Huawei Mate 20 RS Porsche Design and see if we can praise it for the way it works.
Design and Display
Body dimensions of Mate 20 RS are 157.8 x 72.3 x 9.7 mm. It weighs 187 grams. However, the front is made of glass, the rear is made of leather and glass, combined with aluminum frame. It is dust and water resistant. You could actually dip it in water up to meters down for 30 minutes and there will be no problem.
Display type is AMOLED capacitive touch screen with 16 million colors. The screen size is 6.39 inches, and it comes with resolution of 1440 x 3120 pixels. Similarly, it has 87.9 percent screen to body ratio, 19.5:9 aspect ratio, and 538 pixels per inch density. Protection on it is Corning Gorilla Glass unspecified at the moment.
It comes in black and red colors.
Camera Features of Huawei Mate 20 RS Porsche Design
Main camera setup is triple cameras. There is the 40 MP camera with f/1.8 aperture, another of 20 MP with f/2.2 aperture, and still another of 8 MP with f/2.4 aperture. These come with such features as Leica optics, dual LED tone flash, panorama, HDR and more. As you can expect, all the video recordings here at the rear are superb.
For the secondary to the front (selfie) there is a single 24 MP camera with f/2.0 aperture. In view of this, we can confidently say the Mate 20 RS is really equipped at the camera department more than most smartphones. A most noticeable feature here is the HDR.

Storage Capacity

There are two variants of 8GB RAM/256GB ROM, and 8GB RAM/512GB ROM. It’s almost like users are basically paying for camera and storage space. Yet, there is also a microSD card to boost that capacity upward.
