The Mate 20 Pro was announced today, it’s shaping up to be a beast.

Huawei has finally announced the Mate 20 Pro today in London, it literally takes everything you would want and smashes it into one phone. It has three rear cameras, like the V40 and P20 Pro. It has an in-display fingerprint sensor, iPhone X like 3D face scanning and a 6.4-inch OLED display.

It’s obvious that the Mate 20 Pro is a direct competitor to the Galaxy Note 9, even going to lengths to convince us that the software is a lot better on the Huawei. Huawei claims that it has 22% higher stability in gaming and 14% better power efficiency. The Mate 20 Pro also ditches the monochrome sensor and has three different lenses with different focal lengths. It also adds a wireless charging feature that allows the phone to wireless charge other devices…

The Huawei Mate 20 Pro sees the 7nm Kirin 980 processor make its first appearance in a phone. It claims to have much better performance than the 2018 Snapdragon 845, built in AI capabilities, LTE capable of reaching speeds of 1.4 Gbps and optimizations to help stop performance degradation.
