 Hey what's up guys welcome to Trending Reviews. So I have the Huawei Mate 20 Pro. If you haven't seen my unboxing and first impressions video then take a look over here. Right now I'm going to run through the top 10 nice tips and tricks, some new features that you probably don't know about that comes with the Huawei Mate 20 Pro. A lot of these are existing on some other brands such as OnePlus, Samsung, iPhone and so on. Some of them are not. So I thought it was worth mentioning some of the features that I think by the top 10 things worthy of knowing about that this phone comes with. I'm not going to run through some of the features that you're already aware of from the keynote from the launch videos and so on. Things like the reverse wireless charging, the camera, the AI, the long battery life and those kind of things. I'm going to cover some of the more smaller things that no one's really talking about to make it especially useful for you guys that are maybe looking to switch to a Huawei phone and have never used Huawei before and I'm really sure what other features are really good with this phone other than just what you've seen online on the TV and so on. So without further ado let's get into it. Right so the first one is called magazine unlock. Now you just go into settings, you go into home and wallpaper and then you have this option here at the top called magazine unlock. If you turn this on then this cycles through various different wallpapers on your lock screen so every time you turn the phone on and you look at the lock screen it will be a different background wallpaper. It gives you a few categories here to show you what you'd like to see so I can take celebrities for example to have a cycle of celebrity photos as well. So if I go ahead and show you there, every time I lock and unlock the phone you'll see that it's a different picture. That is what is known as magazine unlock and I think that's pretty cool. Right so number two is the Dolby Atmos sound quality on this phone so if you go back into settings go to sounds, scroll down to Dolby Atmos and then you have three options here. So by default it is set to smart which basically adjusts the audio and the sound quality of the speakers on the phone to match the videos that you're watching maybe YouTube maybe Netflix but you can go and experiment with something like the authentic surround sound on the film option here or you can actually choose music and if you listen to some music maybe on Spotify or something like that and choose the type of equalizer you like to have in there. I'm not sure if you're going to hear this clearly but I'll show you possibly a little bit of the difference in these three options so smart I'm going to play a video of my previous YouTube video. Next I'm going to choose the film one and lastly I will choose music and I'll leave it on rich and see how that sounds. Now I think you might not be able to tell the difference maybe with the microphone here in my room but try to experiment that with yourselves it does change the the noise a little bit so I can tell subtle differences between film and music options here so it's really good that they give you the option to choose the type of sound output you have so that's really cool. Number three is the notification numbers so depending on which phone you have I know Samsung with their OS on top of the stock one they actually allow you to have the numbers over the applications so it tells you how many messages you have unread in some other phones such as Huawei or Google Pixel by default you just have the notification icon which is just a standard solid color over the app icons so you don't really know how many unread messages you have and there's an option here with the Huawei Mate 20 Pro that allows you to change that so if you go into notification settings go into more notification settings and then notification method you have the option to choose between icons and numbers so by default it was set to icons I've switched it over to numbers so now I'll be able to see the number of unread messages on the app icons itself so so for me that's a really good option to have because I think that's what most people would prefer anyway. Number four if you're using different applications with different accounts such as Facebook you maybe have one business account you have maybe one personal account you want to be able to switch quite easily between them yeah you can actually do that so if you're going to app settings and then at the bottom here you have app twin for example Facebook that is compatible with twin apps now you can log into two different applications for Facebook and you'll have two icons so when you scroll down here you can see Facebook 2 and Facebook 1 so essentially you'll be able to log in to different accounts using the same application which has been duplicated so pretty useful. Now the Huawei Mate 20 Pro does have quite a large screen and some people are possibly used to using a smaller screen so if you wanted to just use one hand to control everything you got on a screen there then you can actually do that and it's quite simple so you go into settings and go in the smart assistance there's an option here called one-handed UI then mini screen view so if you tap that there's two methods for you to do this and I use method number two where you have the navigation buttons along the bottom just swipe left or right amongst them to either move the whole UI smaller to the right hand side of the screen or to the left hand side of the screen so here's an example so I'll swipe to the left and there you go it's done that so you just tap outside of that and it will go back to full screen if I swipe right it will move it to the right and I can just play around with it from there so it makes it easier everything is in in view right so the next one is a scrolling screenshot now this is available in some other phones as well but I'd like to show you how it's done here on the Huawei Mate 20 Pro if you hold the volume down and power buttons together to take the screenshot you'll see a little preview if you swipe that preview down it will start taking a scrolling screenshot of the page as you can see there's nothing here so I will go and open the browser and do the same thing again so I will swipe that down and it will start scrolling the screen and taking a screenshot so if I tap anywhere it will stop and it will have showed me the entire screenshot of there which has been saved to my gallery so it's a really cool and funky way to take a screenshot of an entire page and it's a little bit less clunky other than I've seen on things like the one plus six for example number seven it's not so much as a feature as it is just an app that Huawei have created it's called mirror so you know how sometimes you just want to check if you've maybe got something in your teeth you open up your camera and you're trying to look clearly and sometimes it's not that clear so they've created an app called mirror if you just open that up and you'll be able to see yourself and what this does is basically it creates a little mirror frame which uses a selfie camera and the only difference is is that it's just put the brightness really high so it's easier for you to see yourself so the only difference between this and actually using a camera is that it just opens up with full brightness on this as well so you can adjust it so I did put it down I've got brightness at 100% and if I'm looking around I can see use a mirror and that's about it when I close it the brightness goes back to your default brightness the only difference between this and the other one is that it just increases the brightness for you otherwise you can simply just open up the selfie camera put the brightness up manually and it's exact same thing but nonetheless it's worth mentioning number eight is something called splash edit so if you've taken a picture you can actually just highlight a certain color in the picture and all of the items that are the same color in that picture will be notified and then everything else will be monochrome and black and white so if you're going to edit for example I can click this option at the bottom called splash and all I do is select a part of the picture that I'd like to highlight so I've selected the sky which is blue so all different shades of that same blue in the picture has been highlighted and everything else is black and white but of course you can do this and make some really good pictures with like people in wearing red clothes and highlighting specific colors that stand out more than anything else and then you can get some really good shots doing that so so the Mate 20 Pro comes with a infrared port at the top there so obviously you can control stuff with that so they've got an app here called smart remote now if you open up that I've connected this with my Samsung TV downstairs now it's really convenient you can just find any type of brand of of hardware or of applications and connect with it and to see if the infrared works if it doesn't then it gives you options to cycle through different various database versions of that product so I can now turn the TV on and off using this I've adjusted the volumes it is working on my TV but sometimes it is very buggy and it doesn't detect it so there is a specific position you have to be maybe the distance from the TV the angle that you point it out so it's not perfect but I think it's getting there on the right track and maybe with future software updates this can be a really good feature to have and last but not least is a feature on the camera here called underwater so if I go into the more menu just there on the right hand side there at the bottom you see underwater now essentially if you're going to be taking your phone in a swimming pool into the ocean on holiday it's recommended to have it in a in a waterproof case not just on its own like this but put it in a waterproof case where you can still access the buttons and what this is telling you is that the video button is for the volume up the photo button is the volume down and the screen on and off is there so that gives it a little bit easier for you to control what you can do with the camera in other phones when you do have a waterproof case on it you have to try to really press the buttons in the screen which makes it a little bit difficult because it's very wet and slippery and sometimes it doesn't detect it properly and you have to really press hard but here it's basically utilizing the side buttons to take the videos and photos when you're underwater so it just makes it so much easier and when you want to exit you just basically hold the button there bottom and it will come out so really convenient way of taking pictures underwater there so that's about it guys those were my top 10 little features that I think it's worth mentioning about the Huawei Mate 20 Pro which I think you probably wouldn't have heard of if there's any
