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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

When it was revealed recently, the Huawei Mate 20 series offered a refreshed Matrix Camera system with a new 16mm Leica Ultra-Wide Angle Lens, for Triple Rear cameras that not only took detailed wide angle shots but allowed you to go in as close as 2.5cm away from your target.
Huawei is making the buying decision pretty difficult for flagship smartphone connoisseurs in 2018 and its Mate 20 Pro looks as if it's set to continue that trend into 2019. Like its predecessor, the P20 Pro , the Mate 20 Pro has three cameras at the rear.
Fantastic camera quality; Fast performance; Good battery life
Kirin 980 not optimised for all games yet; Expensive
I've owned a lot of phones over the years, all different makes, models, predominantly android. This Huawei Mate 20 pro is just simply amazing! It's fast, intelligent, and just supreme over anything! The cameras on the front and especially on the rear are out of this world amazing!
In 2018, the Mate 20 Pro uses much of what Huawei has learned with the P20 Pro, and takes it further. An already capable camera system has been tweaked and improved, and paired with a class-leading chipset and other quality internals.
Introduced in October 2018, Huawei's Mate 20 Pro follows on from last year's Mate 20 Pro, and builds on the success of the very highly rated (for photography) P20 Pro. Huawei has two different strands for its top-of-the-line smartphones, the Mate series, and the P series.
The Huawei Mate 20 Pro is a game-changing smartphone that will make Apple and Samsung look over their shoulder. This excellent device will make people sit up and take notice of Huawei as a genuine contender in the smartphone space.
