Huawei P20 Pro: Australian Price And Release Date

Huawei P20 Pro: Australian Price And Release Date

We’ve been speculating about when the Huawei P20 Pro was going to drop in Australia, and what the price might look like. Well, now we know.

Since the Huawei P9, the company has focused strongly on mobile photography in its phones, and thus has continued with the P20 Pro.

The phone has achieved DxOMark’s highest overall scores in its mobile camera category and is injected with an abundance of AI-driven photography features.

We were able to spend a bit of time playing with it in low-light at the Australian launch this week, and it did not disappoint. But more on that when we do the full review.

In the meantime, here’s a couple of cheeky pictures I took in Light Graffiti mode.
