Huawei Mate 20 vs Huawei P20 Pro: made for different users

The Huawei Mate 20 and the Huawei P20 Pro are two great smartphones, but there are some key differences between them. The Mate 20 is slightly newer, but only by a few months as it was released in October 2018, in comparison to the launch of the P20 Pro that was released in March 2018.

Both phones excel in different areas

When it comes to camera quality, both devices have a rear triple camera system, but the P20 Pro has far superior specs to the Mate 20 with 40 MP, 8 MP, and 20 MP cameras. Whereas the Mate 20 only has 12 MP, 8 MP, and 16 MPs. Resolution wise, they are both pretty indifferent, but to be technically true, the Mate 20 has a slightly higher resolution of 1080 x 2244 px compared to the P20 Pro's 1080 x 2240 px. In terms of battery life, both phones have a 4000 mAh battery capacity which should last for around 10 hours when web browsing or streaming video. The display size differs between these two devices; the Mate 20 has a 6.53 inch display while the P20 Pro has a 6.1 inch display. Both phones have contrasting colors to each other with the Mate 20 offered in either black, blue, green and pink; whereas the P20 Pro only comes in just black or gold! In terms of storage capacity, both phones offer 128 GB but only the P20 Pro offers an additional 256 GB option too! In terms of chipset and processor speed they are very similar; both feature 8 CPU cores respectively so you won't notice much difference here either way! Both run on Android 9 Pie operating system so you can expect smooth performance from either device! Finally when it comes to design they look quite similar but again there are some subtle differences such as weight (the Mate 20 is 188 g while the P20 Pro is 180 g) and screen size (the former being larger).

Verdict: P20 Pro for the photographers, Mate 20 for the content streamers
