So we present the new Huawei Mate 20 Series as the partner of choice for professionals pursuing quality of life.”

The added ultra-wide angle lens and macro support completes the feature set of the camera system, elevating it to a truly all-round camera that is ready to capture any and all action.

In terms of camera, device demonstrates tremendous functionality and features. With the macro feature, you can capture very minute details of portraiture. It’s actually ultra-macro. Where I found the ultra-wide capability of this phone is in tighter spaces where you can actually get a much wider space captured. Say a shrine room, you can capture within the ultra-wide lens capability. I would definitely endorse this to any one, whether you area businessman on the run, a photographer or both.
