Huawei is investing heavily on their new Mate series that they released multiple models -- the Mate 20, Mate 20 Pro, Mate 20X, and the Mate 20 RS Porsche Design. We've already published our review of the Mate 20 Pro, so this time we're going to take a look at the base model of the series, the Mate 20. Find out if this is the device to get in our full review below. Design and Construction Although belonging from the same family, the Mate 20 looks different from the more premium Mate 20 Pro, especially when viewed from the front. Instead of a thick notch, the Mate 20 has a tiny one which Huawei calls the Dewdrop, which gives the Mate 20 a slightly larger and more immersive screen than the Mate 20 Pro, but no room for the 3D face unlock feature. Found up top are two microphones, the IR blaster, and the 3.5mm audio jack which is missing in the Mate 20 Pro, which is still a welcome feature as you don't have to depend on a USB-C adapter to enjoy your favorite headphones. Also found here is the fingerprint scanner, and doesn't sport the fancier in-display type like the one on the Mate 20 Pro. The Mate 20 feels tall but light and thin.
