By way of a comparison, the OnePlus 6T – arguably the fastest of the 2018 Snapdragon 845 brigade – scored 8915 and 2407 respectively. The Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus and its custom Exynos chip pipped the Huawei Mate 20 on single-core performance (3720), but lagged well behind on multi-core (8890). Even the Huawei Mate 20 Pro, with its more demanding QHD display, comes up a little way short of the Mate 20 on 9493 multi-core and 3242 single-core. Basically, we’re looking at the Android performance champ here.

That’s certainly consistent with my real-world experience. In general navigation, the Mate 20 didn’t put a foot wrong. Multi-tasking, waking from sleep, jumping into the camera app from the lock-screen – all were executed without a hitch.

Of course, for £500 you’d expect this as a bare minimum. But the Huawei Mate 20 is similarly imperious in advanced tasks such as gaming. Infamous system hogs Asphalt 9 and PUBG ran flawlessly on High graphics settings.

This phone is a beast. Huawei Mate 20 – Software In hardware terms, we’ve seen that the Huawei Mate 20 is tough to knock. But, as always with Huawei phones, the software experience is decidedly easier in which to pick holes. That’s because Huawei insists on offering its own heavily customised UI on top of Google’s Android OS. It isn’t alone in this practice. In fact, most Android manufacturers do this to some extent.

But Huawei’s is far from the best of the bunch. It remains a curiously half-baked mish-mash of concepts taken from Apple’s iOS and Android itself. The style is both inconsistent and clumsy, with basic app icons and menus, and a curiously restrictive lock-screen. You also get a handful of ugly, largely superfluous apps for Music, Video, Health, Calendar and the like.

With Google providing superior versions of all, there really is little incentive to delve too far into them. The Themes app is an ever-present on EMUI, allowing you to customise the look of your homescreen. If only most of the alternatives didn’t look so cheap…

While I’m still not a fan of EMUI, at least recent versions have been smooth, fast and reliable – even on relatively modest hardware. Here, on the Huawei Mate 20 – with its powerful processor, oodles of RAM, and with Android 9.0 Pie pulling the strings behind the scenes – it actually feels pretty great. It even lets Android shine through a little. You can still access the Google Feed by swiping to the left of the homescreen, while Google Assistant can be found with a long press of the virtual home button or through an ‘OK Google’ vocal prompt.

Huawei has cleaned up its EMUI act significantly, and the divisive UI runs flawlessly here on the Huawei Mate 20. It isn’t a pain to live with, by any means. But it’s also well short of the brilliant stock Android experience, which is a shame. Huawei Mate 20 – Camera While the Huawei Mate 20 isn’t the first phone to pack in three rear cameras, it still remains a head-turning novelty. Just like the Huawei Mate 20 Pro before it, the Mate 20 packs in one wide, one ultrawide, and one telephoto lens.

What this means in layman’s terms is that you can switch between a “normal” camera view, a slightly zoomed-out and expansive camera view, and a slightly zoomed-in camera view. They’ll also work together to provide features such as enhanced depth-of-field effects and a whole host of extra modes of varying utility. From an exterior design perspective, I’m far more of a fan of Huawei’s positioning of these three cameras in a square cluster than Samsung’s four-strong lineup with the Galaxy A9. I’m still not convinced that this is the most efficient or effective way to improve mobile photography, though.
