Huawei Mate 20 vs Huawei Mate 20 Pro
Our Verdict: The Mate 20 and Mate 20 Pro came out side by side, the Pro as the top model and the 20 as the more basic one. The Pro has the better camera on paper, 40MP versus 16MP, and the Pro has the sharper display at 537 PPI to 381. The Pro uses an OLED panel, which gives it richer contrast than the 20's LCD. The Pro is the one to have if you want what it adds, but the 20 is the sensible buy if you don't need it.
