On the back, it has the triple rear camera setup, which is consistent with previous leaks. This is a 40 MP + 20 MP + 8 MP setup. The 40 MP sensor has an aperture of f/1.8 and combines four pixels into one for better image quality.

The 20 MP sensor is a telephoto unit with an aperture of f/2.4 and the third is an 8 MP ultra-wide angle sensor.When working together, these cameras enable 5x optical zoom and ultra macro shots. It has a 24 MP  front camera.

The Mate 20 Pro runs on the brand new Kirin 980 SoC, which is Huawei’s upcoming flagship processor. The processor is made with the 7nm process and is will be faster than the latest A12 Bionic form Apple, according to the company. The device will also have two NPUs (Neural Processing Units) which will help in analysing image content, optimising the scene and providing a better photo output.

Under the hood, it packs a 4,200 mAh battery and is accompanied by a 40 W charger, which will take it from zero to 70 % in just 30 minutes. The phone also supports wireless charging.
