The first tip is Scroll and Shot. With this feature, a user may take longer screen shots. In order to activate it the user has to hold the volume button and the power button to take a screenshot and swipe down on the preview that appears on the left. So a Scroll-Shot is a lengthier version of a screenshot. After clicking a screenshot, a user can simply make adjustments to it, share with a single wipe up or just dismiss it with a left or right swipe.

Knuckle Screenshot

The second feature is Knuckle Screenshot. Mate 20 Pro presents an alternative to the conventional way of taking a screenshot. You can easily take a screenshot on your Mate 20 Pro by just tapping the screen with your knuckle. If you use two fingers it starts a screen recording and you can even use the mic to record the audio. In addition, there is an option called Smart Screen Shot where you can just circle around or just doodle around on the screen with just your knuckle and it will just select that part of the screen where you selected and capture that.

Notch Features

The HUAWEI Mate 20 Pro has a large notch to support face ID. But if you are not a fan of the notch you can actually get rid of the notch on the Mate 20 Pro, by either enabling or disabling the notch just like any smartphone. But coolest part on Mate 20 Pro is you can actually customize on which applications you want to see the notch and on which applications you don’t want to see the notch. So if some application is properly optimized for the notch, you can actually enable the notch because it can actually make use of it. But if an application is not supported by the notch, you can easily go ahead and disable it.
