Huawei Mate 20 Pro vs Huawei Mate 20 X
Our Verdict: These are two phones from the same range, with the Mate 20 Pro sitting above the Mate 20 X. The X has the bigger battery of the two, 5000mAh against 4200mAh, which usually means longer between charges, and the X has the bigger screen at 7.2" against 6.4", while the Pro has the sharper one at 537 PPI. The X is the lighter phone at 107g against 189g, and only the Pro has a water-resistance rating (IP67); the X has none. Only go for the Pro if you'll use what it offers; if not, the X makes more sense.
