The Huawei P20 continues Huawei's impressive smartphone development with some eye-catching additional features, including a Leica camera renowned for its low-light capabilities.  


Let There Be Light

Huawei's partnership with Leica has certainly given the smartphone company an edge when it comes to cameras, and the P20's camera is no exception. The enhanced sensor on the P20 absorbs more light than your average camera, allowing for better photographic detail than most smartphone cameras provide, particularly in low-light conditions.


Superior Selfies

Those all-important selfies look better with the P20's dedicated selfie-enhancing features including 3D facial modelling technology to follow the contours of your features, while 3D Portrait Lighting provides all sorts of studio-quality lighting effects to transform the humble selfie into a stylish portrait.


A Brighter Display For Less Power

Huawei's new FullView display has won plaudits for its vivid display and sharpness, thanks to its LCD 2,240 x 1,080 px resolution. For all this, the FullView display is a battery-friendly feature and consumes less power. The edgeless fingerprint sensor with smart navigation instead of the virtual bar can offer an additional informative area.    


A Big, Beautiful Battery

While not as large as some of the batteries in flagship models, the battery in the P20 is still more than big enough at 3,400 mAh, while patented SuperCharge means you can charge in a hurry. 


Kirin For Performance

The Huawei P20 combines a lot of extras and fun, creative tools, yet the Kirin 970 chipset keeps them humming along and performance levels high to deliver a hassle-free smartphone experience.

Huawei P20 review

Just as there’s no denying the Huawei P20’s many technical accomplishments, it’s also a blindingly obvious amalgamation of other phones that have done the same thing first. And that’s a problem when it’s not bringing anything new to the party. Unlike the Huawei P20 Pro and its triple lens camera. So as much as the P20 is a phone with an admirable screen, camera and all-round performance, it doesn’t distinguish itself enough to go toe-to-toe with them. Hence it’s a hell of a lot cheaper than the iPhone 8, Samsung Galaxy S9 and company when bought on contract. If you’d prefer the spare cash in your pocket to a more innovative phone, then the Huawei P20 is well worth your consideration. Besides, most people probably won’t know it’s not the iPhone X anyway.
Pros:
  • Great LCD screen
  • Speedy performance
  • Tidy camera
Cons:
  • Borrowed design
  • No waterproofing
  • No headphone jack

Huawei P20

If you're lusting after the Huawei P20 Pro's three rear cameras and mesmerizing "twilight" color, but can't justify the high price, then the "regular" Huawei P20 is the phone to get.
Pros:
  • The Huawei P20 takes terrific low-light photos from the dual rear camera, comes in some astounding colors and is small enough to use with one hand
  • Like the P20 Pro, it lets you hide the default screen notch many Android fans hate
Cons:
  • Why is the P20 only splash-proof, but not rated water-resistant like the P20 Pro? There's no headset jack
  • You won't be able to buy it in the US
