Huawei Mate 80 RS Ultimate Design is the first smartphone in the world to feature the advanced BT.2020 color gamut. While the respective standard for screens has been in existence for a long while, it is finally no longer a “just paper-thing”.
BT.2020 is a future-focused, ultra-wide color standard for UHD/HDR video. It’s larger than traditional color gamut standards like DCI-P3, which allows phones to display much richer and more realistic + true colors of visuals on the screen.
A reviewer on Weibo said that the color gamut was intact to P3 since the iPhone 7 launch. Despite having the advanced BT.2020 standard available, brands never tried to upgrade to it for some unknown reason.
It appeared as if BT.2020 would always be a color gamut concept that stays on paper, until the Huawei Mate 80 RS Ultimate Design debuted in the market!
Responding to this matter, the Huawei Consumer Business CTO, Bruce Lee said that brands have never displayed this standard due to its way too advanced nature. But that’s not the case with the Mate 80 RS smartphone.
Lee mentioned:
“Although BT.2020 is a display standard launched by the International Telecommunication Union in 2012 (not 2020), it was too advanced to display until the Huawei Mate 80 RS was launched this year.”
Interestingly, the Mate 80 RS also has an exclusive feature over other Mate 80 siblings. It can record a photo file as per the BT2020 color gamut as soon as the camera runs into a high-saturation scenario.
Simply put, the phone can automatically record the captured snap based on the BT.2020 standard when it detects a camera in a scenario that exceeds the P3 color gamut.
Thus, you not only get an immersive visual experience with the Mate 80 RS but also dynamic day + night snaps irrespective of the lighting conditions.
