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.

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.

The Huawei P20 is not quite the Huawei P10 successor we wanted, and it's not worthy of being called the P20. If not the P11, then perhaps the P12. There are plenty of high points though, with a gorgeous screen, great performance, good stamina and that superb camera - but for every high on the P20,...

Great camera; Big battery with lots of stamina; Optional (ish) notch

No headphone jack; No wireless charging or water resistance; Pales next to the P20 Pro

Relax, Huawei fans: you haven't just slept through a decade. Rather than following up the rather excellent Huawei P10 with the P11 through P19, the Chinese giant has instead opted to cut to the chase and just bring out the P20 and P20 Pro.

Handsome design; Decent performance

Camera falls flat; No microSD slot or 3.5mm headphone jack; Limited water and dust resistance

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

FullView Display with an on/off ‘notch' The Huawei P20 arrives with a FullView Display and the ‘notch', which was first introduced by Apple on the iPhone X. Huawei has refined this slightly by making the camera notch much more narrow and you can turn the notch on or off.

Alongside the rather brilliant P20 Pro , Huawei released a slightly smaller model, the standard P20. Even though the P20 Pro is more innovative (with its impressive triple camera system), the P20 is still an important phone, and costs considerably less than the Pro.

Premium design; A pretty decent camera; Improved software; Perfect size

Unoriginal design; No triple camera system; UI isn't perfect

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.

+ Great low light camera; + Striking design; + Good battery life

- Only FHD screen; - Dated processor; - No headphone port

A strange bird this Huawei P20 - a headliner without a spear. The omission of the triple camera is baffling, but as long as you give it a chance, you may be surprised. And if you don't dwell on what didn't make the cut, you should be able to see the P20 for what it is - one dazzling flagship.
