P20
The accessible twin of the triple-cam P20 Pro.
The Huawei P20 is a flagship Huawei smartphone released Mar 2018, with a launch price of $680. It pairs the Kirin 970 with a 5.8" FHD+ IPS, notch display, a 12 MP + 20 MP mono, Leica main camera and a 3400 mAh, 22.5W battery. In SpecEagle's editorial review it scores 78/100 — Twilight, for less. Standout strengths: leica dual cam with the iconic twilight gradient and kirin 970 + still had google. Main trade-off: no 3.5 mm jack.

P20 brought the P20 Pro's iconic Twilight gradient finish and Leica dual cameras to a more compact, more affordable body — and shipped with Google services. The triple-cam Pro grabbed headlines, but the P20 was the sensible buy.
