The Mate 20 Pro is Huawei’s best-looking phone yet. While it certainly takes inspiration from the curvature of Samsung’s Galaxy S-series, it showcases enough individuality to make it stand out – and, personally, I’d put it right up there with the best designed phones around. Huawei has done an exceptional job of making a phone with a 6.39-inch display feel far smaller than it should. This is in part the result of the stretched-out screen, which now pushes almost to the edge – aside from the requisite notch, of course – and also due to the heavy reliance on curves. Like the Galaxy S9, the Mate 20 Pro sports contours on both the front and rear of the device.

My review unit has a dark green back that not only looks great, but has some added texture as a result of raised lines running from one side to the other. These are almost impossible to see in pictures, but scratch your fingers across the surface and it sounds like a vinyl record. Oddly, this textured rear is only available on the green and blue options, with the other colours – including the trippy Twilight finish made famous by the Huawei P20 Pro – coming with a more conventional, smooth back.

Even though the Mate 20 Pro isn’t the biggest phone around, it still feels far more comfortable in this added texture. Around the sides of the phone sits both the power button and volume rocker along one edge, with the other completely free of buttons. Personally, I prefer the lock button to be located on the opposite side to the volume buttons since it reduces the chance of accidental presses. USB-C is the only port on the Huawei Mate 20 Pro; there’s no headphone jack here.

There is, however, an IR blaster on the top for controlling a TV, for example. Like the 3.5mm jack, the physical fingerprint sensor has been ditched. Now, unlike Apple, Huawei isn’t forcing you into solely using face unlock.

Instead, it has placed a fingerprint scanner beneath the phone’s OLED display. Aside from feeling ridiculously futuristic, this method of unlocking allows for a cleaner-looking device. In truth, these in-display fingerprint scanners will only become more popular if they work as well as the traditional sensors. After using the Huawei Mate 20 Pro for an extended period, I can say that this is a good first attempt; far better than the Xiaomi Mi 8 Pro that also features this tech. However, note that you’ll have to press down far harder than you’d do on a standard fingerprint sensor, and it isn’t quite as reliable.

Alongside the in-display fingerprint sensor is a face-unlocking system reminiscent of the one seen in the iPhone XS. Instead of simply using the front camera to determine it’s you, the Mate 20 Pro builds a depth map of your face using an IR emitter, dot projector and the 24-megapixel camera. This system is far more secure than simpler solutions, and as such can be used to unlock banking and other apps that usually require fingerprint authentication. It also works very well in the dark, without forcing the screen to light up and blind your tired eyes. Huawei Mate 20 Pro – Screen Another winning aspect of the Huawei Mate 20 Pro is its excellent 6.39-inch, 19.5:9 OLED screen.

The panel is rounded at the corners, curved at the sides and packs a sharp 3120 x 1440 resolution.
