1. Huawei P30 Pro
The Huawei P30 Pro is the best Huawei phone you can buy right now. It's also one of the best phones we've used when it comes to photography, with the cameras being the P30 Pro's real party piece, providing staggeringly good 5x and 10x zoom and a digital 50x zoom that gets you insanely close to objects far off in the distance. Its low-light capabilities are also top-notch.
The large 6.47-inch screen on the P30 Pro may 'only' have a Full HD+ resolution, but it's bright, clear, and colorful, providing an excellent canvas for your apps and games.
There's no worry when it comes to the P30 Pro potentially running out of juice; the battery life here is excellent. We regularly got to the end of the day with 30% or more left in the tank.
The P30 Pro not only sets a new standard for Huawei, but it also sets a new standard for the entire mobile industry. Its cameras are quite simply astonishing, the design is eye-catching, and the power plentiful. It’s a true flagship smartphone.

2. Huawei Mate 20 Pro
The Huawei Mate 20 Pro is a brilliant all-around phone, offering up a heady mix of design, power, and performance with a few party pieces thrown in too.
It builds on the excellent P20 and P20 Pro, offering even more screens, enhanced triple rear cameras, and an in-display fingerprint scanner.
The Mate 20 Pro packs a huge 6.39-inch display, giving you a large amount of space for gaming and movies, and its QHD resolution and HDR10 support ensure everything looks great. There is a wide notch at the top of the display, though.
It also boasts three cameras on the rear, nabbing the excellent 40MP wide-angle and 8MP telephoto lenses from the P20 Pro - but the third sensor is new. It's an ultra-wide 16MP snapper allowing you to cram even more of your surroundings into each shot.
The Mate 20 Pro is a full-featured phone for a full-featured price - it even has a few tricks you won’t see elsewhere and more powerful specs than most of its competitors.

3. Huawei P30
The Huawei P30 has a smaller screen than the P30 Pro and does with just the three rear cameras and maximum zoom of 30x, but it's still one of the best Huawei phones around.
With a 6.1-inch display, the P30 is a little easier to manage in hand than its larger sibling, and with a Full HD+ and plenty of colors, it's a top smartphone screen. You can expect to get excellent battery life from the Huawei P30, with the phone often lasting a day and a half on a single charge without issue.
While the three cameras on the rear aren't quite as good as the four on the P30 Pro, they still offer an impressive shooting experience with 5x, 10x, and 30x zoom and great low-light abilities.
There's heaps of power, a handy headphone jack (something the Pro can't boast), and a more manageable form factor for one-handed use. And of course, it's a little cheaper too.

4. Huawei Mate 40 Pro
Easily one of the best phones around in terms of hardware, the Huawei Mate 40 Pro suffers from the lack of Google apps and Play Store, but if you want great photos and a gorgeous screen, this is the one for you.
It molds into your hand perfectly thanks to its curved design that feels great, and it handles pretty much everything you throw at it enthusiastically. Photography-wise, it takes fantastic photos and has an extensive range of tools to enhance them further.
However, with the lack of Google apps supports, you will be restricted with what you can download to this phone, and it does feel rather pricey to be so limited.
SPECIFICATIONS
5. Huawei P40 Pro
The Huawei P40 Pro should be the best handset Huawei has ever made. After all, it’s an upgrade on the Huawei P30 Pro in most ways, with a superb quad-lens camera, phenomenal life from its 4,200mAh battery, and a stylish design, with curved glass on all four front edges.
You also get flagship power from the P40 Pro’s Kirin 990 chipset, plus a great screen with a high 90Hz refresh rate.
So why isn’t this Huawei’s best phone? Because like other recent Huawei handsets, it lacks Google Mobile Services, meaning no Google apps (such as Maps) and, more importantly,, no access to the Google Play Store. So you have to get your apps elsewhere, and the selection is more restrictive.
As such, the Huawei P40 Pro finds itself in the awkward position of being a lesser handset than its predecessor. But the hardware is great, so if you can live without Google on your phone, then it’s still well worth considering.

6. Huawei P40
If you want to get into the construction of computer hardware and solid cameras in the P40 series but still realize that they are not compatible with Google Mobile services, you may want to use this standard P40, thinking it is cheaper than Pro and Pro Plus.
There is no wireless charging or high update rate indicator, but the design is among the best in the market, and the triple camera setting takes beautiful photos and videos. The Kirin 990 chipset is good for 5G, and the battery life is amazing.
But without access to the Google Play Store or Google services remain limited to the Western market.
SPECIFICATIONS
7. Huawei Mate 30 Pro
Huawei Mate 30 Pro was one of the first victims of Huawei's ban - so there are no Google apps on this phone and no access to the Google Play Store.
If you can go beyond the restricted software, though, there is excellent hardware here, including a water-edge edge display, good battery life from its 4,500mAh battery, and an excellent quad-lens camera, surpassing most low-light competitors conditions.
The Huawei Mate 30 Pro also has the same chipset as the Huawei P40 Pro, so the performance is the same, and it packs other advanced features, such as water resistance and wireless charging.
SPECIFICATIONS
8. Huawei P40 Pro Plus
This phone is the same size as the rest of the P40 Pro and goes the extra mile with the best cameras. We think it has the best camera system on any smartphone by 2020, with amazing capabilities that put it ahead of most independent cameras on the market.
It can shoot stills in 10x zoom and is a photographer's dream. But apart from accessing the Google Play Store and Google apps and services, it has greatly affected daily use for everyone except tech-savvy or patients.
It means the phone will not play well with your Gmail account, will not work with third-party applications such as Uber that use Google Maps, and will not interact with any Wear OS devices. Despite packing excellent cameras, 5G, and good battery life, the P40 Pro Plus always sells hard, especially at a reasonable price.
SPECIFICATIONS
9. Huawei Mate 20
The standard Huawei Mate 20 may be worse than the Huawei Mate 20 Pro, but it is still a solid phone in itself and cheaper with it.
Apart from the low price - although it is still high quality, the outstanding feature includes a 4,000mAh battery which in our tests brings excellent health, and high power, thanks to the use of octa-core Kirin 980 chipset up to 6GB of RAM.
The Huawei Mate 20 also has a three-lens rear camera. This is not the same choice of lenses as their pro-level relative, but for flexible settings. And somehow, the Mate 20 actually has the Mate 20 Pro beat, as its 6.53-inch screen is bigger, and it has a headphone jack, the caller’s incoming phone.
SPECIFICATIONS
10. Huawei P20 Pro
The Huawei P20 Pro may not be the latest flagship of Huawei, but it still has a lot to look for, highlighted into the rear camera of its most amazing and versatile lenses.
That camera allows for 3x visual zoom and surprisingly proves when shot at night, which is usually the setting the phone cameras really strive for.
Other highlights of the Huawei P20 Pro include a large, long-lasting battery and a larger AMOLED screen that offers bright colors on a large scale.
The Huawei P20 Pro also has an attractive design, with a metal frame and glass back, which comes voluntarily with a gradient color scheme that sees colors ranging from purple at the top to a shade of green at the bottom.
Like any good flagship, the Huawei P20 Pro also has face recognition, a fingerprint scanner, and a lot of RAM.
There is no wireless charging, and the chipset does not fit well with other flags, but it is not remote, and like the complete package, the Huawei P20 Pro can compete with any other handset, as its strong position in our list the best smartphones proves.
