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 Huawei Mate 20 Pro is a masterclass in how to push phone tech to its limits. It has the most tech-packed camera around, fits an almost unfeasible amount into what is a bafflingly compact frame and is also one of the best-looking phones around. It really does have the lot. And the niggles? We’d love a louder speaker, a headphone jack and a more powerful GPU. But aside from that headphone port, those shortcomings are only obvious when you have all the rivals there for a side-by-side comparison.- Surprising compact design
- Incredible camera versatility
- Jam packed with tech
- No headphone jack
- GPU not as impressive as CPU
- Speaker could be louder

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
- In-screen fingerprint scanner is the best of its kind
- 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
- Square camera arrangement isn't pretty
- EMUI software hiccups - audible 'click' in silent mode and notifications issues for some apps
- No 3.5mm jack
- Some AI camera features are overzealous
- No Qi wireless charger in the box
Huawei Mate 20 Pro: Bursting at the seams
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
The true beauty of power & sophistication
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!
Huawei Mate 20 Pro
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.
- Brilliant camera
- Fantastic battery life
- Kirin 980 processor
- Fast charging & reverse charging
- In-screen fingerprint reader
- In-screen fingerprint reader didn't always work
Buyer beware
I bought this phone based on online reviews and the fetaures of this phone. I had 2 weeks of use of the phone without issue and find the phone normally a fantastic device. However, the manufacturer uses 2 different outsourced companies to create the displays, (a chinese company called BOE and LG)...
