The Huawei P20 is the staple of the all-new P20 range, sitting beneath the tri-camera-toting and above the budget P20 Lite. But don't let its middling position deter you; the Huawei P20 is still a fantastic smartphone that's worth your hard-earned cash, even if it isn't being marketed as the...

Fantastic dual-camera; 128GB of storage to boot; Solid performance; Stunning design; EMUI interface has come a long way

No 3.5mm headphone port; Display needs some fine-tuning; No wireless charging; Not waterproof

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.

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

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

Really happy with this phone and the Android software.

The latest offering from Huawei a company that around two years ago was not heard of outside China, now they have Samsung and Apple worried with their technology and quality at a lower price than their competitors high end offerings.

The Huawei P20 is a brilliant flagship blower, offering sleek design work paired with some really clever hardware and software. There's no tri-lens camera tech, but that dual lens snapper still captures great-looking photos and home movies.

Lush design; Brilliant everyday camera; Decent battery life

The Huawei P20 is a flagship smartphone from Huawei, with an emphasis on photographic capability. Offering 3rd generation Leica dual cameras on the back, with a big pixel 12 megapixel RGB f/1.8 and a 20 megapixel BW f/1.6, the rear cameras also have 2x hybrid zoom, AIS and a dual-tone LED.

Sharp Dual Leica Rear cameras; AI mode great at identifying the scene; Full manual control and RAW capability in Pro mode; Great looking screen; Lightning fast

Greenery mode can be a little toxic; No headphone socket; Not waterproof

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.

Great LCD screen; Speedy performance; Tidy camera;

Borrowed design; No waterproofing; No headphone jack;

The Huawei Honor 10 is a speedy Android phone with a notch. Check out our review.

The Huawei P20 cuts some luxuries, but delivers similarly spectacular low-light photos of the Pro model.

The Huawei P20 isn't the most interesting phone of 2018 – that honour belongs to its more expensive sibling, the P20 Pro, with its triple-rear camera array, slightly larger screen and higher price – but that's not to say you shouldn't consider it.
