Huawei has two major events annually – the P series are refreshed in the spring, and the Mate lineup – in the fall. And with the way the P20 lineup shook up the premium market earlier this year, we had every reason to be excited about the Mate 20 lineup.

The new Mate 20 and 20 Pro duo not only packs the first 7nm Android chipset – the cutting-edge Kirin 980 chip with a brand new NPU, but it also revamps the iconic Leica camera. And the maker didn’t stop there. There are some notable improvements such as the new selfie camera, 3D Face Unlock, 40W charging, and wireless charging that works both ways – yes, you can charge other devices with those Mate 20 phones. How about that?!
