The Honor 20 Pro looks, feels and runs like a premium smartphone, but without the polish or the hype - and, most importantly, without the price tag. It's a slick and powerful mid-range smartphone that will give its competitors a run for their money.

... the large storage configuration gives the Honor 20 Pro an edge in terms of price/performance and makes the lack of microSD support slightly less painful. Another strength of the phone is its very precise GPS.

I feel that for this reason the more sensible choice is the cheaper but by no means inferior Honor 20. The exception to that rule is if you need a high performing camera phone without the high price ticket, then you would be best served with the Honor 20 Pro.

The Honor 20 Pro is intrinsically a superb phone with barely anything letting us down. Sadly, its retail price makes it hard to compete with devices - unless you absolutely need 8GB of RAM and 256GB storage.

With the Honor 20 series, Honor has stepped a bit farther out from Huawei's shadow to create something marvellous.

What we have here is a handset that has been built to a price, which means priorities have to be decided. Going with 'camera' and 'gaming' reaches two of the largest demographics of the smartphone market. If those aren't your areas of concern you're probably better off looking at the Honor 20 which has a significant price advantage over the 20 Pro.

The fact that it has a beautiful and unique design is definitely something that matters. When you pull out your phone, you want to feel good about it, and you want others to see it as well. With great battery life, performance, and a solid camera

he Honor 20 Pro performs very well at its price point and achieves the goal of providing excellent photographic capabilities. Overall, the Honor 20 Pro camera is vastly superior to the iPhone Xs camera, thanks to its low-light performance, high-powered zoom, and ultrawide versatility.

The smartphone offers a remarkable everyday user experience with very good performance, endurance and photo quality that is more than acceptable overall. All of this in a compact and elegant case.

The Honor 20 Pro might lure you away from more expensive Android phones with its premium camera and midrange price, though it omits some of the expected bells and whistles.

The Guardian | Samuel Gibbs

The Honor 20 Pro offers a lot of camera, getting you closer to the action and with a greater versatility than some phones that cost twice as much.

Pocket-lint | Mike Lowe

What other phone is going to offer three (out of the four) decent cameras in a striking design such as this? Once again Honor has shown its strength by numbers - and while the Pro isn't perfect, as an affordable flagship it's got a whole lot going for it.

The Honor 20 Pro is easy to love. It lasts for ages between charges, the cameras are about as fun to use as Android cameras get and it doesn't cost too much considering what's inside.

Wired UK | Andrew Williams

Strip out the parts designed to attract attention and the Honor 20 Pro should be a sure-fire hit. Its screen is bold, battery life is excellent, and the main three cameras are a joy to use. This phone is sunk, though. The prospect of losing access to Android updates, and perhaps even core Google services, is enough to make us recommend any phone but this one.

The Honor 20 Pro has four rear-facing cameras, an in-display selfie camera and a blistering processor – but it's uninspiring...It's a perfectly good phone, don't get me wrong – it just isn't a great one. It has no 3.5mm headphone jack, has a sub-par display, omits dust and water resistance and wireless charging, and lacks the wow factor of its predecessor. The biggest disappointment, however, is the camera, which should have been the star of the show but turns out to be deeply flawed.
