I like it very much. That's great!

Next, we're going to get up close and personal with the Mate 20 and dissect its industrial design chops and build quality...

Good Value; Vibrant display; Top-notch camera; Large screen to bezel ratio; Comes with cover; Excellent battery life

Fingerprint magnet, Middling gaming performance, No OLED display, No Official U.S; release

I was concerned about swapping from apple to android but I am converted. Battery life fantastic. 2 days usage on one charge. Camera exceeded expectation. It takes fantastic photos especially portraits. It is just great to use and hold.

It turned out that this model also suffered from gluegate. The whole screen looked very strange. Downloaded an iPhone Xr instead which I think is a much better phone than this for the money.

Though it doesn't feature all the bells and whistles of the Mate 20 Pro, the Huawei Mate 20 is an amazing smartphone in its own right. It boasts a stunning Dewdrop display, an impressive trio of cameras on the rear powered by AI to produce amazingly detailed, well-lit images and the world's first...

Huawei's Mate 20 Pro has captured plenty of attention since its launch and for a good reason: it's an all-out phone packed with the latest technology, including Android's most powerful chip, a 3D face recognition system and an exciting triple camera setup.

Incredible; 2-day battery life; Android's most advanced 7nm chip; Plentiful 128GB internal storage

Pricey for what it is; LCD screen is not quite as great as some AMOLEDs; Camera is just decent; not on par with the best; Unclear future software update situation; Gesture navigation is not perfectly polished; Loudspeaker is too quiet

Reviewed in isolation, the Mate 20 is a superb phone. It takes great photos, has oodles of power and a long-lasting battery, a huge HDR-friendly screen, and the latest version of Android. But of course, that's only half the picture. Its bigger brother goes one better in just about every area, and despite being more expensive, is a much better phone as a result - so much so you have to question why you'd buy the vanilla Mate 20 at all. That's kind of a moot point, though, because the Mate 20 is largely going to be sold in countries where the Mate 20 Pro isn't. You won't see the pair side-by-side in Carphone Warehouse, and you'll actively have to go out of your way to track the cheaper phone down here in the UK. I'm not convinced you should, either. Seeing how the OnePlus 6T manages to find room in the budget for an OLED display and still come in cheaper, and the Xiaomi Mi 8 Pro has just arrived at an equally competitive £499, Huawei starts to look a little outclassed at the one-step-below-flagship level.

Flagship-grade performance; Latest version of Android; Capable, flexible cameras; Actually has a headphone jack;

Outshone by the Mate 20 Pro in almost every way; Proprietary expandable memory format frustrating; Limiting choice between models is anti-customer;

It's been quite a year for Huawei with it moving ahead of Apple in global smartphone sales while releasing some fantastic high end devices. The latest release from Huawei comes in the form of three Mate 20 devices, including the Mate 20 Pro and Mate 20 Lite that were both reviewed here on ZDNet by...

Gorgeous fit, finish, and design, Outstanding battery life, Perfectly placed fingerprint scanner, 3.5mm headset jack, FM radio, and IR receiver

Minimal level of dust/water resistance, No support for wireless charging, Proprietary nano memory card format

I am very happy with this phone, good battery life, apps open and run quickly, nice screen size and picture quality
