Prepare for the "HUAWEI P20 Pro" reserved immediately after the announcement

The summer model was announced from the three major carriers.The writer who was thinking of using the next replacement candidate for "Galaxy Note9" (provisional) unless other terminals were added to the other terminals, because they relied on S pen in "Galaxy Note8".The model you want has appeared.It is "Huawei P20 Pro HW-01K" provided by DOCOMO.

After the presentation, make a reservation online immediately.I can't wait for the release in late June.The decisive factor was the high performance of the camera.Actually, I used a global version of a verification machine provided by Huawei ahead, but I really liked the beautiful camera in the dark.Not only the night view can be beautifully taken, but the darkness performance that can be taken properly is surprising to some extent even in a room with almost no light.It's not something to compare directly, but I thought I could give up the S pen.

The smartphone camera is competing by each manufacturer to improve performance, but it is repeatedly overtaken.I think that the image has gradually improved, and I think that it has been able to propose a new shooting method by converting it into a dual camera, but in terms of image quality, it was only gradually evolving.On the other hand, the P20 Pro camera gives the impression that the stage has risen one.

Moreover, the user does not need to think too difficult, whether it is a person or a night view, just off the shutter is a reasonable finish.1/1.In addition to 7 -inch sensors and bright lenses, it is a unique strength of Huawei that has adopted AI early.As long as you use the global version, there are places where you can change to the mode due to the scene detection, or you may feel a little annoying, but I am generally satisfied with the photos I took.

The point that I have been able to respond exactly to Osaifu -Keitai when it comes to domestic release is also a point I want to evaluate.As a writer whose mobile Suica or ID is indispensable, it cannot be a main terminal without this.

However, there are some disappointing P20 Pro in terms of specifications.As I wrote in the bulletin of this magazine, the big thing is that it does not support external memory (microSD card), including the global version.Although it may be a somewhat special case, I keep putting data from the first "Xperia" I bought as the main Android smartphone in the microSD card.

With the evolution of the terminal, the capacity of the microSD card was gradually increasing.I just bought a 128GB microSD card because 64GB was almost full.If you put photos, videos, and music on the microSD card, you can transfer these data simply by replacing them when you change the model.If you buy a P20 Pro without it, you have to copy the data to the main body memory, which is a little troublesome.It is still good if it is troublesome, but there is a possibility that the capacity will run out.

Although the P20 Pro has a plenty of storage of 128GB, it seems that the opportunity to take photos and videos is likely to increase, so if you transfer all the current data, it will be barely possible.Therefore, it is necessary to change the operation method from the previous Android device.

As a preparation, I re -raised photos and videos in Google Photos.I used Google Photos so far, but since I started with a trial feeling, the image size was reduced to 8 million pixels, and it was still free.I have a corporate G Suite for work, and because of the unlimited capacity, I don't need to choose a resize setting.

So I switched my account to G Suite, overnight, and re -uploaded photos and videos.If you buy a P20 Pro, you will not download the photos and videos so far, and will open the file with Google Photos when you want to see it.This can save a lot of storage.

The MicroSD -free problem is forcibly resolved in Google Photos, but unfortunately, the P20 Pro has some differences from the global version.What I am worried about is that when switching to Huawei's unique EMUI, the drower of the app cannot be displayed.It is easy to understand UI like an iPhone, but it feels inconvenient from the one who is used to Android.

The point that you can only select the DOCOMO "DoCoMo Phone Book" made by DOCOMO is also the point that you want to do.It is an advantage that the docomo phonebook does not change the operability even if you buy a terminal of a different manufacturer, but it has a uniform design, and it does not fit the atmosphere of the terminal at all.The taste was very different from the other designs of EMUI, and the impression that the docomo phonebook had floated.

As long as it sells as a carrier product, some customization may be tolerated, but even on the same DOCOMA device, Xperia and Galaxy have a manufacturer's phone book pre -installed, and the user side has a docomo phone book.It can be selected.It is my frank opinion that I wanted the P20 Pro to have the same specifications.I hope that dissatisfactions other than MicroSD cards can be resolved even with software updates, so I would like to respond in the future.
