At first glance, the Huawei P20 immediately shows the design differences it has with the P10. It's a more elegant and premium look in step with current trends. The notch is there, as well as a display almost devoid of bezels, and it is unlocked through face recognition.

Of course, the Huawei P20 can also typically be picked up for less than rival flagships so if it's the top end of your budget then it's a good buy, but if you can stretch to something pricier then the likes of the Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus and indeed the Huawei P20 Pro are far better phones.

It's heavy and narrow and very slippery. I hesitated for a day, giving myself a chance to change my mind. But then I got to know it and I love it! I've gotten it a screen protector and case for extra protection. Because it's worth it. Very clever and knowledgeable and talkative.

If you have to buy a phone outright on Amazon or from another site, and you can't just walk into a store to fondle one in person first before making a purchase, then why not just buy something else. Right Maybe not. What's the story behind that

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.

not worth it

Huawei's introduction of the P20 and P20 Pro last month in Paris, France saw a huge positive response from consumers. For the first time in a long time, Huawei is seen as a strong global competitor that's able to match the innovations brought upon by the likes of Apple and Samsung.

The P20 is a little lacking when it comes to graphics processing, but the camera is amazing, the sound quality is good and you'll have an incredibly handsome phone to boot (though INQ takes no responsibility for damage done to your Huawei P20 by your foot).

The Leica camera; the sound; the slim; reflective profile; durable battery; responsive

Can't handle graphics-intensive tasks; picks up fingerprints like nobody's business; no IP67/68 rating; no Jack

Being a bit of a camera phone geek, I went into this review often comparing the P20 to the more expensive P20 version. That wasn't really fair, so I took a step back and looked at this as its own device with own specs and wanted to forget the Pro version all together.
