An Israeli site has published internal slides from Huawei detailing the key features of the Mate 20 smartphones. The slides show, among other things, the 3D face scanner, fast charging function and a smaller type of memory card.

The smaller SD card is called NanoSD and is smaller than a microSD card, says Girafa based on the slides. There is as yet no standard with the name NanoSD. Huawei would supply a card that fits in the device with Mate 20 phones, the site reports.

The Mate 20 Pro and Mate 20 are codenamed Hima and Laya and the slides show a mountain of information about the smartphones. For example, the Mate 20 Pro has a 4200mAh battery, which users can charge for 70 percent in half an hour. This is probably possible because the battery has several cells, each of which then support fast charging. The Mate 20 has a 4000mAh battery.

According to the slides, both models have three cameras: a wide-angle lens, a regular lens and a telephoto lens. Exact specs are not listed, but according to Girafa, the Mate 20 Pro has the slightly better cameras. The setup differs from the P10 Pro, which has a regular lens, telephoto lens and regular lens with monochrome sensor.

Biometric authentication works through a fingerprint scanner behind the screen, a 3D facial scanner or ‘bone voice id’. It is still unknown how exactly that works and how safe it is. Huawei has previously said that it will unveil the Mate 20 phones on October 16. The devices have a Kirin 980-soc, a soc that TSMC makes at 7nm.

In addition to the phones, Huawei also comes with a watch codenamed Fortuna. It offers a battery life of seven days if the screen is always on and fourteen days without the screen activated, but with all functions active.
