Huawei Mate 20 vs Mate 20 Pro | Camera Comparison

We test and compare Huawei's tri-lens camera on the Mate 20 Pro with the standard Mate 20, to see if there's any difference in photo and video quality and the features on offer. Is the Pro model, with its better-specced camera, the superior of these Huawei phones?

Although they appear to sport the same snappers, there's a clear difference once you glance at the specs. Huawei's Mate 20 Pro model sports a mighty 40MP primary lens, with f/1.8 aperture. The second lens is an ultra-wide-angle effort, this time 20MP, with an f/2.2 aperture. And lastly you have an 8MP telephoto lens with f/2.4 aperture and a dash of Optical Image Stabilisation.

The standard Mate 20 sports a slimmed-down 12MP primary lens, again f/1.8. The ultra-wide-angle is a 16MP shooter this time, again with f/2.2 aperture. And the 8MP telephoto lens is back in action, once again f/2.4 and with OIS in play - although you only get a 2x optical zoom compared with the Mate 20 Pro's 3x optical zoom (and impressive hybrid zoom).

I've been testing the Huawei Mate 20 and Mate 20 Pro cameras side-by-side and here's my full review so you know how the photo and video results differ. Check out my Mate 20 and Pro comparisons with each other, and the best rivals of 2018, including the OnePlus 6T.
