[Answer] What Is the Real-World Experience of the Huawei Mate 20 Series Like?

Huawei’s latest flagship phones all come with “AI” features, and its newer chips also market AI as a major selling point. The Mate 20, Mate 20 Pro, and other phones equipped with the Kirin 970 or newer chipsets all include these capabilities.

In real-world use, the AI features are mainly reflected in daily habit tracking and smart recommendations. They can collect and surface commonly used lifestyle information such as package delivery updates, commuting routes (automatically), shopping-related content, and other everyday functions, then push suggestions based on the user’s habits.

For photography, Huawei also provides AI-powered scene recognition, which can automatically identify what you are shooting and optimize the image differently depending on the scene. In addition, Huawei’s AI chips perform well in common artificial intelligence scenarios such as real-time translation.

From a technical standpoint, using an AI chip means user data no longer has to be uploaded over the network to a server for centralized processing. Instead, it can be processed on the device itself. On one hand, this improves efficiency; on the other, it may help protect user privacy—although whether it actually provides meaningful privacy protection is still unclear.

Overall: more style than substance.
