Huawei P20 and P20 Pro

Huawei P20 and P20 Pro smartphones have been launched by the Chinese brand at an event in Paris, bringing yet another pair of camera-focused handsets to the market. Huawei said its new P20-series smartphones feature AI-powered camera features, with the optics 'co-engineered' with Leica. Huawei Consumer Business Group CEO Richard Yu at the event said the company skipped the P11 moniker and jumped straight to P20 as the latest models had major improvements over the previous generation. Yu also revealed a new logo for the company.

Yu at the event also spoke about the design aesthetic of the new Huawei P20 and P20 Pro smartphones. Huawei P20 will have 20-megapixel and 12-megapixel camera setup. P20 Pro will have a triple camera setup with one 40-megapixel sensor, claiming they have 'seamless surfaces' to touch, and highly symmetrical form factor to see. Huawei P20 will have 20-megapixel and 12-megapixel camera setup. P20 Pro will have a triple camera setup with one 40-megapixel sensor. The colour of the smartphones was also looked at closely, Yu said, with 'nature-inspired' pearlescent effects giving the phone a different colour depending on the angle it was viewed from. Both phones will be available in four colour variants - Graphite Black, Midnight Blue, Pink Gold (gradient colours), and Twilight (gradient colours). Each comes with different, colour-matched themes. The Huawei P20 price has been set at EUR 649 (roughly Rs. 52,200), while the P20 Pro price has been set at EUR 899 (roughly Rs. 72,300). Both smartphones are said to be immediately available globally, but we can expect more details on this front in the near future. Meanwhile, the new report confirms other specifications that we already know, such as a 6.1-inch display, Kirin 970 processor, Android 8.1 Oreo-based EMUI 8.1, and a 4000mAh battery.
