Has someone found the settings to make selfies look good here?

I saw some video camera reviews on yt where selfies look great, but dont tell what settings they use.

anybody knows?
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Real Life Review] panman1964:
Surely a selfie thread needs example selfies ;o)

[MENTION=8925354]default setting[/MENTION]s apart from screen mirroring turned off

Photo Mode

[IMG="Mate20 Photo Mode"]http://www.sharetheexperience.co.uk/images/Mate20_Selfie_photo.jpg[/IMG]

Portrait Mode

[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Real Life Review] Terrschi:
In another topic someone mentioned that the quality will be improved with update 122.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Real Life Review] best24:
This happened to me too i have black dark skin and i look white on the selfie camera its so bright and overexposed. Same thing happens on snapchat
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Real Life Review] steadly2004:
I think that happens due to the image processing and what is desirable in Asian countries. The mass public they designed it for desire a lighter smoother face. But I could be assuming and completely wrong. My S9+ does this too and it drives me nuts. I hope it can be turned off somehow.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Real Life Review] prody5:
My gf just got a mate 20 pro. When we took our first photos together we immediately noticed they were so much whiter as compared to my s9+. Now I'm trying to find a solution so ended up here.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Real Life Review] pogi.paul0119:
Disable the beauty effect..
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Real Life Review] Perereika:
in portrait mode you can change warmth so it can have some impact on skin tone.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Real Life Review] ShaKki:
I have a mate 20x but hence to same camera sensor i got a question... in portrait selfie i dont really get a bokeh effect (until i choose the backround light shapes) is that normal ? i think it should have a normal one too no?
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Real Life Review] grizzlyspid86:
Turn off all beauty features, except 'warmth'. In 'warmth' settings, tap on the most brown color on the left side, resulting in more natural image than none.

If u dont want overexposed face image, tap on the screen of your face first, then snap. But it looks like u loose HDR feature if taking pictures that way.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Real Life Review] Ipse_Tase:
Hopefully these customer complaints will be addressed in software updates...after all, it's just processing (heavy handed) and not the camera.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Real Life Review] chetly968:
That's true, the cameras on these phones is supposed to be top notch. Hopefully Huawei can adjust the software side to improve the results.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Real Life Review] pilico:
Why doesnt the front camera portrait mode blur the background?

It is meant to be like this?

Photo mode and portrait mode looks the same to me ( Front camera)
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Real Life Review] tindersticks:
Some people claim that update 146 improves selfie quality. All I can tell is my lips don't seem to be pinkish as before but the overexposure processing still persists. Skin is pale and lacking details.

I have tried everything, including lowering exposure and choosing the darkest skintone. The photos still look weird. Post editing with google album app helps improve it, but troublesome when you have to share with family or friends.

In the end, I just ditched native camera app for selfie and am using hedgecam app. Lower one level of exposure and I look so much more natural.

I bought three phones from Huawei: Mate 8, P20 Pro, Mate 20 Pro. This problem has exisited since P20 series and still hasn't been addressed. Basically I have given up hopes. It's the Chinese sense of beauty.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Real Life Review] Perereika:
you need to click on that star on left bottom corner and choose an effect.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Real Life Review] pilico:
Thanks.

It is weird that we need to enable the blur feature after we select the portrait mode.

Is there any difference between the portrait mode with blur mode off and nornal camera mode?
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Real Life Review] grizzlyspid86:
I think on .171 update, front camera got huge upgrade on low lights and skin tone looks much more natural now.

Cannot double tap the power button to open camera.

The only option is to double tap the volume off button ONLY WHEN THE PHONE'S SCREEN IS OFF.

This is actually horrible.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Real Life Review] JazzVH:
Yeah I don't like this either. Double tap the power button under any scenario should bring up the cam. Maybe my 6P conditioned me that way, but it worked very well.

Great charging speeds, not much else to say
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Real Life Review] chrisully:
The charging speed is amazing. By far the best fast charging on any phone
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Real Life Review] steadly2004:
I agree. Best hands down. Not sure about longevity of the battery with such fast charging. But... seems pretty unreal/amazing this far.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Real Life Review] da1e8:
Does anyone elses phone switch off automatically at 2 percent left
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Real Life Review] 0alfred0:
its normal for huawei to preserve battery life span.... other phones do the same they just display you 0% when there is still juice left
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Real Life Review] da1e8:
Ah ok never had a Huawei before only Samsung wnd didn't know

Does anyone know shat charginspeed is used when charging over USB-PD?

If I connect the wireless charger to Huaweis a 22,5 W supercharger => it charges but it does not fast charge over wireless charger

If I connect the wireless charger to USB-C PD desktop charger that is capable of 60W => the wireless charger shows fast charging exactly as it does when I connect Huaweis 40W supercharger
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Real Life Review] salman maliq:
Charging is slow myvphon
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Real Life Review] duRin90:
I don't use charger supplied with the device; I don't require to be charged this fast.

At home I'm using Anker's wireless charger. It's connected to Anker 6 port charger and I think it charges with about 10W. Works fine overnight.

At work I use generic wireless charger connected to Anker's 18W QC3 charger. I think it's 10W too, although I cannot be bothered to calculate it properly for both; I don't charge USB charge meters so this would be difficult too since phone doesn't give all the data, only charging speed in mA.

I need to get some better charger for the car because my current one, paired with 2m cable, is supplying barely enough juice.

When I tested 40W charger supplied, it's pretty nippy - I'd say just over an hour to get from 0 to 100%
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Real Life Review] Shipoftheline:
Mine takes about an hour and 15 minutes from zero
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Real Life Review] sukesh123:

[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Real Life Review] STALKER18:
Hi.

I want to know how much mAh does it show on when charging ?

I used many chargers even the 40w one and it can not goes over 3300mah

Now with 65w supervooc its 3400mah.

Does it the max ?

[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Real Life Review] YakuzaNeko:
Battery doesn't drain that much, but I've only tested it for a day so far so I may update this in the future
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Real Life Review] LOGMD:
Manage all apps automatically & smart display

5:48 @ 04% ~ 3.63 minutes to drain 1%

4:08 @ 18% ~ 3.02

2:19 @ 53% ~ 2.96

3:51 @ 29% ~ 3.25

4:29 @ 17% ~ 3.24

Same as above then towards the end of the day switched to 720p & auto manage apps off

5:11 @ 21% ~ 3.93

720p & auto manage apps off

7:14 @ 11% ~ 4.88

I think this is more because of the aggressive ram management when manage all apps is on, and what seems to be a bug with smart display. Restarting apps so many times must drain battery. I will try tomorrow at QHD+ and see the SOT

Also worth noting I do not game, I listen to a lot of music (most of the working day) and stream YouTube to and from work I have over 100 installed apps and 6 messaging apps which I switch to frequently. I have news apps that refresh every hour on data or mobile.

standby drain seems a lot over night about 2x the mah than the OnePlus 6 that I have
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Real Life Review] numernumer:

Is yours a Boe or LG screen?

QUOTE=Darkat70;78334851]Amazing .[/QUOTE]
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Real Life Review] Darkat70:
Mine is a BOE screen, 18B02.

Pretty awesome to get that SOT, with 43% battery left. I used my GPS for 30 minutes, watched about 20 minutes of YouTube, 30 minutes of Slotomania game.

On standby I lose about 5% battery in 7 hours or so.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Real Life Review] POLO_i780:
Agreed. I am absolutely loving the battery life on this thing, it insane how much heavy usage 1 Charge cycle can take.

I average around 7-8hours SOT, sometimes 9hours and that's with the screen set to 60% Brightness. Absolutely insane, and it just keeps chugging along.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Real Life Review] ccl2003:
SOT on LG panel. Truly amazing at more than 6 hours with 40% juice left.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Real Life Review] dinevdarko:
How you get like 8h-9h sot? Usually i have 5.30
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Real Life Review] xStigex:
i have 3h... how is possible? xD
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Real Life Review] Rich29583:
Hi I get about 6 hours ost is that good.? I have brightness on about 90% and WiFi on at all times I have seen ppl get 7-8 hours ost should I keep manage apps automatically on or turn it off any advice appreciated guys
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Real Life Review] pogi.paul0119:
This bad boy is killing all phones when it comes to battery life..
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Real Life Review] Spood:
Here are my stats.

Today was a heavy use day so I only got just over a day of use. I usually get about 2 days before needing to charge. So either one day at 9h SoT or two days at 7h30 SoT, I guess it depends which apps I use too. I try to charge above 5% and stop at 95%.

WQHD+, auto manage apps on, dark theme everywhere I can, never have both wifi and 4G on at the same time and am in Airplane mode during the night to limit battery drain (very effective, I never lose more than 3-5%).

I do a lot of web browsing, a bit of gaming and YouTube, and Facebook/Messenger are probably running in the background and are used a lot.

I rarely have brightness above 50%, except for videos. I mostly stay between 15 and 50%.

System update .153

I noticed that my battery life isn't as good as it was with ly first mate 20 pro that was equipped with an LG display. Since i got my replacement using a BOE screen, battery drains faster. I still manage to get 6/7h of SOT so i'm not complaining but it was better before
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Real Life Review] Ipse_Tase:
BOE screen here, power save mode, 1080p forced resolution gives me 12+ hrs SOT.

Same settings on S7Edge got me 8 hrs...but then again, that battery is 3 years old, therefore around 82% capacity.

Happy camper so far.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Real Life Review] bobbylechat:
The stats i gave were achieved with the exact same settings as i used with the LG equipped one. I used to have 1/2h more of SOT
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Real Life Review] jonascos:

[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Real Life Review] pogi.paul0119:
On latest 171.. did not notice anything still amazing since day 1..
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Real Life Review] mike2518:
On .146, amazing battery life, best I've ever gotten on any phone, beats my note 9 to the dirt lol. The note gave me 6 hours screen time max in about 9 hours before dying.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Real Life Review] mike2518:
Here's another usage after 24 hours, sitting at 10% with 10.5 hours screen on time (60% LTE). This phone is nuts! Wifi and Bluetooth radio on constantly as well as my wear os watch connected.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Real Life Review] jonascos:
I just love this phones battery life it's has everything en yet. Almost double the battery life of my note 9 back up telephone
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Real Life Review] cavags5:
How many hours do you have in note 9.

I assume is in wifi you have here
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Real Life Review] jonascos:
With the note 9 I had like 5:40 hours and not whole day on wifi but 40% a day with both so I think mate 20 pro battery is far better than the the note with same apps installed on both
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Real Life Review] cavags5:
You know all depends on the optimisation of your phone, I known mate 20 is a little better but not that much. I already have Huawei and Samsung, I have note 9 because of the S-pen, but I wanted to buy mate20 for my wife, but the hulk screen is very bad.

But now with stable version of 9.0pie on note 9, I could say, I get almost twice sot in wifi that in 4G.

Usually get 3h 3.30h sot in 4g in 12h, until 50%.

in wifi at weekend, I can do 10h in around 36h.

it's very good in wifi.

I had mate 10 and s8plus, and mate 10 last maybe more a 1h than s8plus.

same apps same usage.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Real Life Review] jonascos:
Yes I still use my note 9 and I can't do without the s pen being able to sign documents on my phone and overall productivity is just amazing only problem is i wish the battery get me like 7-8 hours sot and me personally I think the note is fabulous phone and got the 512 GB version for 840€ discount from my provider. And about the green tint I am able to get the BOE after three time of swapping and it's 18B1900 almost one and half months nothing
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Real Life Review] mike2518:
I have note and mate pro, I love the mate, I'm gonna sell the note. I never got more than 6 SOT over a 9 hour period. Mate lasts 1.5 days work 8 to 9 SOT
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Real Life Review] jonascos:
Yeah I understand it's almost like is not really 4000mah and the best sot my note gave me was 6:21 hours not dat bad but just wish for at least 7-8 hours

[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Real Life Review] mosh11:
Guys I have Been using the mobile for 3 days and my sot is 5 to 5:30 maximum, mixed wifi + LTE, auto brightness,
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Real Life Review] Sammath:
Coming from a mate 9 I'd say it's about the same, 9 to 10 hours.

Running this at the highest resolution, screen brightness set to about 40 percent manually.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Real Life Review] Hazzay88:
When it comes to battery life the Note 9 doesn't come near the Mate 20 Pro. I have the Mate 20 Pro and my wife has the Note 9. The Mate 20 Pro easily trumps the Note.

Also the Note 9 has a massive variation between 4G battery usage SOT results and WiFi usage SOT.

The Mate 20 Pro is closer with SOT results on either 4G or WIFI which is amazing. I like the Mate 20 Pro as a daily driver as it is much more predictable with Battery life as opposed to the Note 9
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Real Life Review] cavags5:
you are right, I see you know well the phones, note 9 in wifi almost double the sot that in 4G.

I wifi, note 9 gives m 9 to 10h in almost 2 days.

But the S-pen I need it for work.

Lets see note 10 with 7mn prossessor and see how it goes.

Huawei if want edge screen need to improve a bit.

and one ui is a jump for samsung software.

Huawei need that too.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Real Life Review] Hazzay88:
I don't think Samsung will ever be as good as Huawei when it comes to battery life. Even when they had phones both running similar SOC 10mn Huawei phones were still much better for battery life. So even if Samsung has 7mn it won't ever be as good as Huawei. Samsung has never been known for great battery life. I prefer my Mate 20 Pro over Note 9 as it is reliable and has no trouble lasting all day under really heavy usage
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Real Life Review] cavags5:
I agree with you in terms of battery, but functionalities and screen, huawei is far Huawei, and for me that I consume a lot of videos, note 9 is the best.

i already had s7edge é mate 9, and mate 9 with 4000mAh don't last more that the s7edge same usage.

last more in the first 50% but after that drain much faster.

i think every person have to choose a device for their usage, not for the brand.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Real Life Review] Hazzay88:
I can easily get 8hrs to 12 hrs SOT with my Mate 20 Pro. My wife's Note 9 doesn't go over 7 hrs SOT
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Real Life Review] Mosman12:
Note 9

I can easily squeeze 9-10 hours out of my exynos note 9 dual sim on a single charge. I average 10% or a little more drain per hour usage.

3g and, bluetooth in the car, wifi, GPS, Instagram, YouTube, calls, tons of browsing using Samsung internet, WhatsApp, taking pictures, listening to music for extended time through the headphone Jack, not limiting or crippling my usage for the phone in any way but no gaming. It all depends how you utilize your needs.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Real Life Review] ccl2003:
Mine is now a BOE 18B23 since the old LG was replaced last week with a new unit due to green tint.

8hrs SOT with 17% juice left
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Real Life Review] pchoppe79:
I'm embarrassed to show mine, I'll be lucky if I get 5 hrs. Tried all sorts and nothing has worked. Might need a reset unfortunately ?. Using dual SIM but even with the dual disabled It didn't change. Ucchhh I long for 8hr+ SOT ?
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Real Life Review] Krisbo:
First time I've cracked 7 hours on any phone.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Real Life Review] Darkat70:
I just got 8hr 31m 27s & that was with 2hr 7m of facechuck

If I hadn't of used FB then I'd probably got closer to 10hrs

About 3h30m....sometimes 4h lol

I updated to .198 Monday and yesterday I got 8 half hours screen on with 13 hours standby. 2 hours of FB use and 45mins of Slotomania which is a real battery killer. Pretty impressive.

---------- Post added at 08:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:02 PM ----------

There's definitely a process which is annoying the battery, if I charge to 100 then use as normal I drop to 97% in 30 minutes.

What I have found is if I go to apps show system process and clean all the cache which is time consuming I can get Up to 40 minutes on 100% before it's dropped to 99%

Which app or process I don't know but very weird.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Real Life Review] Mini Jay:
Yep I have the same SOT as you with about the same usage haha I think it depends on what people do with their phone. Sometimes I get more than 6h SOT sometimes 5h.. but I stop looking at SOT since at the end of the day I still have battery life
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Real Life Review] CentaXx:
Got the phone properly discharged to draw an proper estimate about SOT for the first time.

80% of the day in mobile network, medium reception strength, heavy usage incl. gmaps navigation, a lot of camera use, spotify streaming, auto brightness. This was not a "leave the screen on at minimum brightness to maximize SOT"-test, but proper intensive daily usage.

Got almost 10hrs SOT on one charge. I'm curious to see how the long-term average will be. Should definitly stay >8hrs.

My prior S7 has an average SOT of 2.5hrs (had 4hrs once), so my realistic runtime multiplied 3-4x. Don't need to charge it constantly anymore, wouldn't even need a car charger... I'm really happy with that.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Real Life Review] pinktheater:
I bought mine last saturday and from Saturday to Sunday I had almost 8hrs SOT. I thought it was awesome indeed.

Now i'm doing tweaks to improve standby battery which seems the low point right now with the phone. :D
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Real Life Review] Hazzay88:
I would recommend you posting your battery stats and screen on time using the phones battery analysis rather than a third party app
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Real Life Review] Shipoftheline:
I think the new file system on EMUI 9.1 should improve the battery a lot if its faster too
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Real Life Review] Darkat70:
Unfortunately if you disable the powergenie app you lose app stats, so GSM battery is the only way to get these stats.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Real Life Review] pikoman121:
i cant seems to get screen on time pass 6 hours, does usage of instagram or facebook affect the life by alot? my SOT at 78% is only 1hr 50mins
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Real Life Review] ali_rojas:
Same question..
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Real Life Review] ali_rojas:
Any tips for the new comers like on how to extend the battery life upto 7hours?
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Real Life Review] Darkat70:
Yes, using Facebook App will dramatically decrease your battery, if you use Facebook for more than 1.5 to 2 hours you will at absolute best be lucky to even get to 7 hour's of SOT.

As for Instagram, I don't use it so I wouldn't know.

I did a complete charge, left charger connected for 20 minutes after it reached 100%. I did not use Facebook at all, My SOT was 10hr 10min. With 3.5hr SOT at 70%

Charge same method again and used Facebook, at 70% I had 1hr 40mins SOT.
