Description

The Huawei Mate 20 easily stands out from the crowd thanks to its metal-and-glass construction and flashy gradient color options. But the phone has a lot more going for it: a spacious, high-brightness LCD display occupies nearly all of its front side, while a triple camera with 2x zoom and wide-angle lenses gives you plenty of creative freedom. On top of that, the huge, 4000mAh battery is among the biggest on a phone of this class.
