In particular, it has 4,200mAh of battery capacity. It is larger than most 2018 flagship phones with under 4,000mAh of juice. Huawei also added the new 40W SuperCharge technology with up to 10V/4A of charging speed.
Then Huawei finally added the wireless charging solution. They even improved it to make it the highest wireless solution right now rated at 15W.
Moreover, the Mate 20 Pro has the world's first reverse charging tech. It will allow Mate 20 Pro users to charge other phones with Qi wireless charging support.
Battery performance

| Over 14 hours! |
Really good! It clocked 14 hours and 16 minutes in our PC Mark work battery test. It is significantly better than the 12 hours and 32 minutes we got last year from the Mate 10 Pro.
It is higher than the Galaxy Note9 with 4,000mAh battery that got 11 hours and 21 minutes. It is also way higher than their own P20 Pro with 10 hours and 41 minutes.
Actual performance is also great. The average screen on time is around 6 hours. I was also able to use the phone for a more than a day on a single charge.
The crazy part? This phone even has a 2K display. It proved that the new Kirin 980 SoC built under the 7nm FinFET process is a power efficient chip.

| 40W SuperCharge |
The Huawei Mate 20 Pro is also the company's first phone with a 40W SuperCharge technology with up to 10V/4A of charging speed via USB Type-C. It even has the safe charging certification from TÜV Rheinland.
Huawei promised that you can charge your phone up to 70 percent in 30 minutes.
In our own test, we were able to charge the 4,200mAh battery of the Mate 20 Pro in just 1 hour and 10 minutes.
In comparison, our iPhone X has over 3 hours of charging time. The charging time of the Note9 is 1 hour and 30 minutes.

Aside from the SuperCharge tech, the Mate 20 Pro has a 15W wireless charging feature. It will allow you to charge your phone on a wireless charging pad. Yes, no more wires.

Like what we mentioned earlier, it is also the first device with reverse wireless charging solution. It means that you can charge other devices with Qi wireless support.
It means that you can share your battery to phones like the iPhone X/XS and Note9.
Importance of a phone with long battery life and fast charging speed
