What the critics say (scores are out of 100)

Pocket-lint | Cam Bunton

For the first time in the annual phone war, Huawei has succeeded in creating a genuine alternative to the Samsung Galaxy S9. The P20 is refined, polished and attractive. There are almost too many superlatives to describe this mighty impressive phone. Its main issue is that the P20 Pro is that much better...

NotebookCheck | Manuel Masiero

The Huawei P20 has one of the best smartphone cameras you can get right now. The Huawei P20 Pro is even (slightly) better, but is 250 Euros more expensive.

Ubergizmo | Hubert Nguyen

The P20 Series is one of the most exciting line of smartphones of 2018, and it is one that everyone should give a good look at.

Android Central | Alex Dobie

Buy the Huawei P20 or P20 Pro if you want a phone with striking design and cameras which, once tamed, can produce jaw-dropping telephoto and low-light photos. For me personally, the Huawei P20 Pro will be my daily driver for the foreseeable future.

Neowin | Rich Woods

As I mentioned right from the start, I do enjoy Huawei's flagship devices, particularly the P-series. Ultimately, the P20 is a fantastic device that I can recommend to almost anyone.

Android Headlines | Nick Sutrich

This is Huawei's best devices yet, no doubt, but ultimately don't check every single box. If you need the best smartphone camera ever, these are your phones, otherwise there are still other phones out there that offer more features for less money.

Yes, there are a few compromises, but the Huawei P20 is an amazing device that produces some of the best photos we've seen come out of a mobile phone.

phoneArena | Victor Hristov

So yes, the Huawei P20 and especially the P20 Pro are the best phones that Huawei has made to date, but it's hard to get inspired by a rip-off and the P20 series are in many ways just that. If you don't care about that, the P20 Pro checks most boxes for a good flagship.

ZDNet | Matthew Miller

The Huawei Mate 10 Pro is a long lasting solid smartphone and the P20 brings all of those experiences in a slightly smaller form factor. However, the Mate 10 Pro has that excellent rear fingerprint sensor and a larger battery so it may be a better choice for the enterprise. In either case, you can pick up an excellent competitor to Samsung.

Admittedly, there are still improvements that can be made on this device, but it's nothing I can't forgive for what I get: a solid rear camera, capable overall phone that's pretty and with a premium build, and good beauty mode.

The Inquirer | Isaac Harris-Holt

The P20 is a little lacking when it comes to graphics processing, but the camera is amazing, the sound quality is good and you'll have an incredibly handsome phone to boot...

If the real top of the range phones are just beyond your budget then the P20 may just be affordable it has a lot to offer.

AnandTech | Andrei Frumusanu

Overall I think it's going to be a very subjective decision based on what the buyer wants to prioritise, especially when it comes to battery life and camera experience. If you value battery life over everything else, then the P20's are your go-to choice in terms of current flagships.

Trusted Reviews | Josh Levenson

...if like most customers, you're after a handset with a fantastic build and high-end performance for a price that won't break the bank, then look no further than the Huawei P20. It certainly won't disappoint.

TechRadar | Holly Brockwell

The Huawei P20 is not quite the Huawei P10 successor we wanted, and it's not worthy of being called the P20. The follow-up to Huawei's P10 has plenty of high points, not least the camera and hardware, but the Huawei P20 doesn't quite have enough to compete with 2018's best flagships. It seems the much better P20 Pro is doing that instead.

T3 | Spencer Hart

The Huawei P20 is a beautiful phone, that's for sure. It's a shame that it doesn't have the innovative camera found in the P20 Pro. Oh, and it looks like an iPhone X – that may put off some.

Stuff | Robert Leedham

The iPhone X blends with Samsung's Galaxy S9 in identikit fashion. A great Android all-rounder that borrows a little bit too much from its rivals.

Huawei's super-smart 2018 flagship phone is a seductive blend of gorgeous hardware and intelligent software, which makes for a very satisfying everyday experience.

If you're happy with taking the less impressive device in the P20 line, this could be the one for you. But do keep in mind the P20 Pro is one impressive device.

Expert Reviews | Nathan Spendelow, Alan Martin

Without the promised world-beater of a camera, the P20 is left in a very difficult position. Yes, it looks beautiful and is reasonably snappy but...it's a tough sell compared with the opposition. The battery life is middling, the weatherproofing is limited, there's no room for added storage and the 3.5mm headphone jack is gone. There are just too many compromises to make the P20 seriously worth considering.

IT PRO | Bobby Hellard

The P series is improving and the P20 is an impressive device, but its still behind the likes of Apple and Samsung and having made the Pro so vastly superior, Huawei leaves us to wonder why you should buy the P20.

The Huawei P20 looked like it might have been a belter at first, especially given the price point, but in fact it turns out to be a big fat turkey.

How HandsetExpert Works: We don't run ads on the site, or charge users to use the site. The site is funded using commission links, where we may receive a commission if a phone or tariff is purchased via HandsetExpert. Our editorial, phone scoring and recommendation system and deal-finding algorithms are not affected by this; we are fiercely committed to providing unbiased, independent information.

Important notes

  • We aim to compare as many tariffs in the marketplace from the UK as possible. However, we do not include every package (e.g. legacy tariffs no longer available, or tariffs only available to existing/specific customers), nor do we detail every aspect of every tariff (e.g. international out of bundle rates, on-network minutes, etc).
  • SIM Only deals do not include plans shorter than 30 days or Pay As You Go rates.
  • We work really hard to get accurate prices from as many providers as possible, but some deals or providers may not be included; if there’s anything we’ve missed then please get in touch and let us know.
  • Whenever we can, we will let you know if a deal is time limited (such as a flash deal), and when the deal expires.
  • For tariffs which offer "unlimited" allowances, there may be times where traffic management or fair usage policies apply.
  • Additional charges for payment methods other than direct debit and for itemised/paper billing may apply.
  • Data only SIM cards, mobile broadband packages, and pay monthly tablets are currently not included in the comparison.
  • Out of bundle charges are not included in the calculation of Average Monthly Cost.
  • Contracts may not be available for some phone models in all colours and/or sizes, and a small number may only be available either as a pay monthly contract or a contract free handset, but not both.
  • Providers may increase the cost of your contract by RPI (inflation). However, if prices are increased that then cause a materially detrimental impact, you have the right to exit your contract without penalty. More details available from Ofcom plus comparative information on customer service and complaints handling & their guide on how to complain.
  • Ofcom runs a voluntary accreditation scheme for digital comparison tools (DCTs) for telephone, broadband and pay-TV, and has confirmed that this DCT meets the criteria for accreditation. For further details about the scheme, including the criteria that DCTs must meet, visit the price comparison page on the Ofcom website.
