Huawei P20 Release Date, Price & Specification

Despite Samsung's dominance in the Android world, it's Huawei that's making up ground faster than OnePlus, LG or Sony. Huawei has announced the P20 and P20 Pro at an event in Paris - two phones that look like an awful lot like the iPhone X.
Hopefully these are not just copycat phones, though. With top of the line specs, superb design traits and genuinely innovative camera set ups (particularly on the triple lens Pro), the P20 and P20 Pro are pushing the envelope in terms of Android hardware.

It's worth noting that Huawei has changed up its model naming system. The logical name for this year's range was the Huawei P11, following on from the P10, but the firm has jumped to P20 instead.
The expected P20 Lite was not mentioned at the event but it does exist. Here's all you want to know about the Huawei P20 range.

When is the Huawei P20 release date?
Despite saying the phones would be available immediately on a global scale, the P20 and P20 Pro go up for pre-order on 28 March ahead of a 5 April release date.
The phones are unlikely to come to the US any time soon given the furore over the Mate 10 Pro launch and intelligence services' suspicion of Huawei's security.

How much will the Huawei P20 phones cost?
In the UK, the Huawei P20 costs £ 599 / € 649 (approx $ 849) SIM-free via Carphone Warehouse and the P20 Pro will set you back £ 799 / € 899 (approx $ 1,100). The P20 Lite is £ 329 (approx $ 460).
You can get the P20 and P20 Pro from networks including Carphone Warehouse, EE, O2, Vodafone and Three. Those who order before 5 April will get a free pair of £ 329 Bose QC35 II noise canceling headphones.

Huawei also announced the Porsche Design Mate RS which costs 1,695 € for the 256GB model and 2,095 €. It's unclear where this will be available to buy.

Huawei P20 and P20 Pro specifications
The P20 and P20 Pro are the high-end phones here and both have comparable specs, including Huawei's Kirin 970 processor that's found in the Mate 10 Pro. They are noticeably different to the P10 and P10 Plus.

And although not officially announced, here are the specs of the rumoured P20 Lite that could be announced at a later date:

The inclusion of a notch, vertical camera protrusion and a metal and glass design means the P20 is undeniably influenced by the iPhone X. Even if the Essential Phone had a notch first, Huawei has obviously taken design cues from Apple's latest, just as Asus has done with the Zenfone 5
Hopefully this will turn out to be a fortunate form of flattery rather than a misguided copy tactic.<script async src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>
