The Chinese firm might be in the middle of a political storm, but that didn’t stop Huawei from producing the most cutting-edge, feature-packed phone of 2018: the Mate 20 Pro. Headline features include 3D IR-based (the most secure kind) face recognition matching the iPhone XS, a pressure-sensitive in-display fingerprint scanner and a brilliant triple-camera system on the back that is the best in the business.

If that wasn’t enough the Mate 20 Pro also has a huge and beautiful 6.38in OLED screen squeezed into a slim and curved body, which keeps the whole phone relatively easy to handle. Huawei’s own Kirin 980 processor matches or bests rivals, while a large battery means it running for close to two days.

When it does run out, it has really fast cable charging, fast wireless charging and it can even wirelessly charge another device with the flick of a switch.

Verdict

If you’re going to blow the budget, this is the one to do it on, unless you’re an iPhone diehard.
