Huawei Mate 20 Pro 128GB
The Mate 20 Pro is Huawei's contribution to the top-end of the smartphone market, and it more than holds its own in very esteemed company.
A work of art
Huawei describe the Mate 20 Pro as "a forged masterpiece of 3D glass with smooth curves and seams that dissolve into the design. A streamlined symphony in the palm of your hand." In other words, it looks great! The slim design also means that it feels comfortable in your hand as well.
World-first technology
The Mate 20 Pro boasts the world's first 7nm mobile AI chipset in the form of the Kirin 980. This lifts speed and power efficiency to a level well above many other smartphones occupying this space in the market.
Fantastic for photographers
The new Leica Triple Camera is powered by AI, which gives you performance and features you can only dream of. The 40 MP main RGB lens captures amazing detail in everyday shots and the 8 MP telephoto lens gets you up close when taking long distance shots. Meanwhile, the new 20 MP Leica Ultra Wide Angle Lens comfortably captures everything you need it to in landscape photos and macro shots.
Rough and tumble
For all its beauty, the Mate Pro 20 is not a fragile device. The IP68 rated water and dust resistance means you can take the phone pretty much anywhere you want to go.
More life from your battery
The larger 4200 mAh battery, with AI power management, gives you more ON time and less down time, while the 40 W2 Huawei SuperCharge lets you charge the Mate 20 Pro up to 70% in just 30 minutes.

Huawei Mate 20 Pro review: The Pro you'll want to know
Huawei released our favourite phone of 2018 in the P20 Pro . Which means its bigger-screen cousin, the Mate 20 Pro, has all eyes fixed in its general direction to see if it can do the seemingly impossible: be even better.- Gorgeous design outshines even the Galaxy S9

- Triple rear camera arrangement offers the best capabilities on the market
- Huge battery capacity that lasts for an age
- Fast-charging (40W) and Qi wireless charge

- EMUI software hiccups - audible 'click' in silent mode and notifications issues for some apps

- Some AI camera features are overzealous
- No Qi wireless charger in the box
