Huawei Mate 20 Pro gets upgraded, already

published 9 November 2018

The Huawei Mate 20 Pro hasn't been out long and already it's getting an upgrade that gives owners even more bang for their buck – specifically from that triple lens camera.

The Huawei Mate 20 Pro comes with a new type of triple lens camera, ditching the monochrome sensor of the P20 Pro for a wide angle option. This allows it to capture even more in the frame. Ideal for underwater photography. Yup, it has a special setting just for this.

Now a new diving case has been revealed that allows the phone to go deep diving so that mode can be taken advantage of. Rather than tapping the screen, where sensitivity is compromised underwater, the camera works using the volume rocker.

On its own the phone is limited to IP68 water-proofing meaning it can be taken to a depth of 1.5 metres for up to 30 minutes. The new case lets you go deeper for longer.

The catch? This is a China exclusive, for now, but will be on sale for 599 Chinese Yuan which is about £65.80.
