The Porsche Design Mate 20 RS is essentially the Mate 20 Pro with a tweaked design.
From specs alone, all three devices are beastly, setting new flagship standards. Of particular note is the Kirin 980 processor, which is the world’s first 7nm process mobile processor. This enables it to provide powerful performance with new opportunities for AI, all while running efficiently.
The camera also deserves a mention. Huawei’s partnership with Leica has produced some fantastic mobile cameras, and this looks to be the best yet. We’ll reserve final judgement until we can test it, but it looks to be a winner.
And if you’re wondering where the Mate 20 X fits in the lineup, it’s a bit like a larger Mate 20 Pro with an emphasis on mobile gaming, hence the cooling system.
Huawei is launch the Mate 20 series on a rolling basis in select countries beginning today.
