The first Huawei flagship I used was the Huawei P20 Pro. In my review, I praised its camera performance in low light, which set the stage for computational photography-powered night modes in phones. The Huawei P20 Pro was followed by the release of the Huawei Mate 20 and the Huawei Mate 20 Pro in October. The Mate 20 Pro acts as the top-end flagship of Huawei’s lineup, and on paper, it has nearly all of the specifications it needs to compete with even 2019 flagships. That means, of course, that it has an expensive price to match.
Does it fulfill its potential of being a market leading flagship? With only two weeks left before the announcement of the Huawei P30 and P30 Pro, should readers still be interested in Huawei’s current-generation Mate series flagship? In this review, we will take an in-depth look at the Mate 20 Pro to determine this.
