Some are describing the 6.1-inch Huawei P20 Pro's Leica triple camera as the best smartphone camera on the market, but there are plenty of other features in this flagship model. 


Triple Treat Camera

The three-camera system really does take amazing photos and is worthy of all the plaudits. The move towards intelligent photography and the 40 MP RGB camera, means incredible shots can be taken in all sorts of conditions, including low light. It's worth noting that the base model Huawei P20 "only" sports two rear cameras, so the triple camera is a point of differentiation between the two phones.


Getting Close Up And Personal

A complaint about many smartphone cameras is the lack of zoom. That complaint is rendered obsolete in the P20 Pro which features Leica's 5X Hybrid Zoom. Even if you're taking a shot from some distance, this zoom lens system will allow you to capture fantastic detail and clarity. 


The front selfie camera has a resolution of 24 MP. This is a high-resolution for a front camera, but Huawei the phone relies on it for speedy face recognition to unlock the phone.   


What Colour Is It?

Luminescent colour progression is another talking point, and one that makes the P20 Pro stand out in a crowded smartphone market. The unique gradient colour finish is available in some models and is a big seller for customers who want their phone to appear different to the rest.


Dazzling Display

Huawei's FullView Display is at its best when seen on the P20 Pro's 6.1-inch OLED display. Huawei claim the range and clarity of colours makes this their best screen to date, while the edgeless fingerprint sensor with smart navigation boosts functionality as well.


Plenty Of Power

The Huawei P20 Pro has a huge battery, enabling you to enjoy that amazing camera and other features for longer. The 4,000 mAh battery is not only power-packed, but it can also fast-charge thanks to Huawei SuperCharge. The Kirin 970 processor is the same chip that Mate 10 Pro employs.

A newer model Huawei P30 Pro 8GB 256GB was released in April 2019.

  • hugely responsive
  • great screen
  • superb sound
Cons:
  • Bluetooth can be temperamental
  • battery management needs a bit of coaching
  • EMUI isn't for everyone
  • no headphone jack

Huawei P20 Pro review

It’s been a long time since a phone of the Huawei P20 Pro’s quality came along to upset the Apple-Samsung duopoly we’ve all gotten used to. Having experienced its amazing triple lens camera, shimmering design and heavyweight performance for a fortnight now, I’m convinced it’s the best new phone of the year so far. Hell, I’ll go one better: it’s the best phone you can buy right now. When so many handsets offer pretty much the same thing right now, the P20 Pro deserves credit for doing a little bit more for less of your money. It’s the first Huawei handset to offer quality through and through. Sure, some software-related rough edges remain but they’re tolerable at worst and totally eradicable if you have the knowhow. Striking just the right balance between borrowed inspiration and genuine innovation, the Huawei P20 Pro is a telephonic tour de force. MORE: The 10 best cases for the Huawei P20 and P20 Pro
Pros:
  • Stellar camera
  • Pin-sharp screen
  • Gorgeous design
Cons:
  • Occasionally awkward software
  • No headphone jack

On/off notch The Huawei P20 Pro fills the front of the phone with screen and just like the iPhone X, there is a notch removed for the camera. However, Huawei's notch is much smaller and if you prefer, you can turn the notch look off by having a black bar appear across the top, making it invisible to...
