Huawei’s P20 Pro was one of the biggest hits of the year with this flagship phone winning a host of awards.
However, this top-rated device could be about to get some serious competition with Huawei announcing a new phone which will launch in the UK early next year.
The new P Smart 2019 is the latest piece of hardware to join Huawei’s every growing army of smartphones and with some very good specs at a much lower price, it could be one to watch out for.
The Chinese manufacturer has confirmed that its new P Smart will go on sale in the UK from January 10 and will feature a huge, almost bezel-free, 6.21-inch edge-to-edge display which Huawei is boasting not only brings an enhanced viewing experience but also features technology to reduce eye strain.

The platform allows you to display contact information, social media links, services, and products all in one shareable link. Optional features include appointment scheduling, WhatsApp-based storefronts, media galleries, and custom design options.
The high-resolution primary camera is equipped with a 5p f/1.8 wide-aperture lens with a virtual aperture range of f/0.95-16, while the secondary camera collects depth information for accurate depth segmentation and creating authentic bokeh effects.
As with all of Huawei’s latest cameras, using AI the P Smart will be able to detect what you are taking a picture of and adjust the camera settings accordingly.
On the front of this new phone, you’ll also find an updated selfie camera which is neatly tucked inside the teardrop notch.
This 8-megapixel snapper can a range of effects to your images including a portrait mode and photos can be taken via simple gesture controls.
The front camera also recognises and optimises eight categories of common selfie backgrounds for improved image quality.
Under the 3D curved unibody shell, you’ll find a Kirin 710 processor and 3,400mAh battery which Huawei is promising offers all-day performance.
There’s also a rear fingerprint scanner and the P Smart can be accessed via Face Unlock.
The P Smart 2018 will arrive in three colours including Midnight Black, Aurora Blue and Turquoise Blue.
It will be available to buy in the UK on 10 January 2019 from retailers including Carphone Warehouse, Vodafone, A1, Amazon, AO.com, Argos, Clove, Fonehouse, JLP, Jersey Telecom, SDG, Sky Mobile, Tesco Mobile and Virgin Mobile; from EE on 11 January; and O2 and Three mid-January.
