Huawei P30 Pro preview: Everything we know so far
Last year, Huawei’s P20 Pro shot to the top of our best smartphone listing thanks to its brilliant triple-camera setup and overall premium allure.

This week Huawei subsidiary Honor announced the Honor View 20, the successor to last year’s View 10 (which we didn’t get here), and it looks even better. One might even say, “infinitely better”.
