Review

The Huawei P20 Pro is one of a growing number of mega-phones. We’re not talking about the speakers that protesters chant into, but very expensive phones that incorporate new tech, for those willing to pay big for it.

Top rivals in this class include the Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus and iPhone X. Huawei may be the least powerful brand of the three, but the cost is lower too. That said (and perhaps giving away the review verdict a little bit) the P20 Pro performs so well that it's given a pretty high spot in our best smartphone ranking.

For the Huawei P20 Pro’s price you could only get a 64GB iPhone 8 Plus, not an iPhone X, although there are some quirks to the Huawei design and software to get used to in return.

However, the remarkable work done on the camera makes this the most versatile phone photo-shooter out there, regardless of price.
