Huawei has come out with some pretty solidly constructed phones since the Nexus 6P failure

The Mate 10 Pro I tested earlier this year passed with flying colors.

It's time to see if this newest from from Huawei – it's a triple camera P20 Pro flagship

Inside the box we get the charging cable, headphones with a USB-C connector, and the

international wall charger since this particular phone isn't coming to the USA.

I'll update the video description if that changes in the future.

Initial impressions are that the phone is thick and solid feeling right out of the box

If you remember, this tells us what hardness level the screen is.

Plastic would be a level 3, tempered glass is a level 6, and sapphire would be a level

Huawei did include a plastic screen protector on this P20 Pro, which is nice of them, but

the screen surface itself we find scratches at a level 6 and a deeper groove at a level

Huawei doesn't advertise having gorilla glass on their phone like they did last year on

Remember that...it will be important later on in the video.

First thing I noticed about this phone besides the notch, is the earpiece.

It's a little circular thing just oogling at you like some kind of second eyeball right

next to the 24 megapixel front facing camera.

Most earpieces are little slits for optimal sound transfer from the rectangular speaker

It will be interesting to see if the speaker is circular as well during the teardown.

The speaker grill won't fall out though – which is good – not even with a razor blade.

It's still sitting completely flush with the surface of the glass.

The fingerprint scanner is down here at the bottom of the phone and is unscratchable.

A big step up from the Mate 10 which we did end up scratching.

You never know when you might end up in a freak razor blade fight accident.

It's good to know your button will survive any damage.

Speaking of buttons, Huawei added a little slit into the metal power button and dabbed

A kind of interesting and unique design choice.

The volume rocker is also made from metal, and we can tell from the sound it's making

Up at the top of the phone we are headphone jack-less.

But Huawei did include an IR blaster so you can change the channel on your TV and stuff.

Personally, I've never had a need for one of those, but I'm all about the features,

We have a metal dual SIM card tray, but no expandable memory.

No headphone jack on the bottom of the phone either, just a loud speaker and USB-C charging

For the back of the phone, this one is a Midnight Blue version, we get our first look at the

And I'll say it again: the more features a phone has, the better.

And the extra camera options on this guy is a good thing.

The logos and Leica branding are all under the glass and won't be coming off from the

outside, along with the dual toned, dual LED flash tucked safely under that back glass

If we zoom in real tight on the camera lenses, down here at the bottom we have a 20 megapixel

monochrome sensor covered with glass, and a circular metal lip around the sides.

Then we have a beastly 40 megapixel camera here in the center of the 3 lenses.

And finally a 3 time zoom telephoto lens up top.

It's a pretty solid trio, but I think the ideal arrangement would be to toss out the

monochrome sensor and add in a wide angle lens like a Go Pro fish eye back to capture

Those are the 3 types of lenses I carry for my professional camera.

Monochrome has just never appealed to me.

Quick side by side comparison with the dual camera set up on the iPhone 10.

I am going to try to replace the cracked glass on the iPhone 10 with dry ice here in a few

If you don't know what I'm talking about, go check out my iPhone back glass liquid nitrogen

No offense France, I didn't realize I was burning down the Eiffel Tower until it was

This is a 1080p 6.1 inch AMOLED display, meaning it lasted for about 20 seconds under my flame,

The flame left a white spot on the screen, even when the screen was off.

Once again, sorry France...and thanks again for the Statue of Liberty.

First of all, with the initial flex, it bends way more than I anticipated.

Normally phones are much more solid than this.

With that massive flex, the glass display is now shattered with multiple fractures.

The damage is all contained in the glass...nothing transferred down to the AMOLED display underneath,

I'll do a quick bend from the back of the phone before we go into the structural analysis.

But with that second bend, no extra damage is done to the front or rear of the phone.

It appears as if the cracks emanated from the level 7 pick marks left on the surface,

meaning that without the damage I intentionally introduced to the surface of the glass, it

But an important thing to remember is that these impurities or scratches introduced to

the surface of the glass can also occur in real life in your pocket or with minor drops,

And even more interesting to note, is that I've tested over 100 different phones now

over the past few years, and most of them don't shatter during the bend test, even with

the level 6 and 7 scratches in the glass.
