Mate 20 Pro meets its match as new Huawei flagship goes on sales TODAY

The brilliant Mate 20 Pro has just met its match as Huawei’s new P30 Pro finally hits stores today.

This latest flagship was announced earlier this month and it could easily be a contender for smartphone of the year.

Huawei has packed its latest flagship with a swathe of new features and upgrades that make it as good, if not better, than the award-winning Mate 20 Pro.

Firstly, there’s a new 6.47-inch FHD+ OLED display which covers the entire front of the phone and this screen now includes an embedded fingerprint scanner under the glass.

Huawei’s fast Kirin 980 processor is packed inside and there’s a huge 4,200mAh battery which can now be quick charged wireless.

This power pack can also refill other devices via Huawei’s clever reverse wireless charging technology

All of these features can be found on the Mate 20 Pro but there is one bonus extra that doesn’t appear on the P30 Pro’s sibling.

This latest device now arrives with a quadruple rear camera which now offers improved night photography and a much-improved zoom.

In fact, the new SuperZoom Lens unlocks a superior level of zoom photography in a slim-line device design.

Through a new periscope design, the SuperZoom Lens supports high fidelity magnification of 5 times optical zoom, 10 times hybrid zoom and 50 times digital zoom.

Finally, you’ll find the P30 Pro comes in some striking colours which include Breathing Crystal, Amber Sunrise, Aurora, Pearl White and Black.
