The Kirin 980 is built using the 7nm architecture (as is the Apple A12 Bionic), which allows of smaller gaps between the transistors on each chip. A smaller distance leads to improved performance and, more importantly, better efficiency. The chip here remains an eight-core unit, like the previous Kirin 970. However, it now uses four low-powered, two medium, and two high-powered cores – each responsible for specific tasks. Geekbench 4 scores Pick up any flagship (or even mid-range) Android phone and it will be fast. The Mate 20 Pro just feels faster: apps open instantly as you press the icon; there’s no lag to be felt at all, and nothing ever appears to suffer a slowdown. This is also likely down to the 6GB of RAM. Huawei also said the Mate 20 Pro will continue to be fast 12 to 18 months down the line, which is far more important than how quick it feels after having just bought the device.
Taking care of the graphics is the Mali G76 MP10 and, once again, this phone is an absolute beast when it comes to gaming. There might be dedicated gaming phones out there – the Razer Phone 2, for example – but the Huawei Mate 20 Pro should be taken very seriously if you’re into mobile gaming. Intensive titles such as Asphalt 9 launched noticeably faster than on the competition, and I found myself in a race consistently quicker than with a Pixel 3 or the Samsung Galaxy S9. This isn’t to say those other handsets are slow, it’s just the Mate 20 Pro is a step above and should compete closely with the next-generation Snapdragon chipset we’ll likely see soon. Huawei’s phones have always impressed with strong reception for both Wi-Fi and cellular data, and that remains the case here. Phone calls sound clear, and since the phone supports dual-SIM, you can place two nano-SIMs inside.

Interestingly, there’s no microSD support here. Instead, Huawei has developed a expandable storage card called Nano Memory. As the name implies, this card is the same size as a nano-SIM, and fits in the same slot.
At the time of review, I couldn’t find any nano memory cards for sale. The lack of microSD support is softened by the 128GB of internal storage, though. To offset the missing 3.5mm headphone jack Huawei includes both a dongle for connecting wired headphones along with a serviceable pair of USB-C earbuds in the box. There’s also a decent speaker setup here, with noise coming both from the notch and the bottom of the device. Huawei Mate 20 Pro – Software There’s so much to like about the Huawei Mate 20 Pro – but, sadly, the software experience still needs work.

Huawei’s intrusive EMUI, which runs on Android 9 Pie, remains a strange combination of Google’s software and knock-off iOS. It ditches the app drawer for an iOS-like appearance of multiple homescreens crammed with apps, not to mention it comes with an excess of bloatware. Everything about EMUI continues to feel a bit all over the place. The icons are blocky and ugly, notifications often miss out important information, and the Settings menu is a mess of hard-to-find options. Problems aren’t confined to the UX design, either; EMUI seems to actively limit functionality.
You can’t interact with and act upon notifications on the lock-screen, and I had continual issues with Google services refusing to sync properly and reliably. Huawei has also taken two of Pie’s biggest features and tweaked them. Digital Wellbeing is now Digital Balance, and this lets you set timers for apps, keep an eye on how much time you’re spending on your phone per day, and dim the colours at night. Navigation gestures are here, working more like iOS than Android as you’d find on a Pixel 3.
