  • Massive 7.2-inch AMOLED display ideal for gaming and media
  • Exceptional 5,000mAh battery life, often lasting up to two days
  • High-quality Leica triple-camera system with strong night mode
  • Powerful dual stereo speakers with loud, clear output
  • Includes physical 3.5mm headphone jack and IR blaster
  • Maintains support for Google Mobile Services (pre-trade ban model)

What we don't like about Huawei Mate 20 X (6GB + 128GB)

  • Excessive physical size makes one-handed use and pocketing difficult
  • Lacks premium features like wireless charging and high-grade waterproofing (IP53 only)
  • Proprietary Nano Memory (NM) card required for storage expansion
  • Camera lacks 4K recording at 60fps and exhibits slow video focus
  • Rear-mounted fingerprint scanner can be a reach for smaller hands
  • Diminishing software support and security patches in recent years

Verdict

The Huawei Mate 20 X (6GB + 128GB) is a large-format productivity and entertainment powerhouse, distinguished primarily by its massive 7.2-inch OLED display and a long-lasting 5,000 mAh battery perfect for extended use. It is powered by the capable Kirin 980 SoC and features a versatile Leica triple-camera system, including a 40MP main sensor, delivering excellent photographic flexibility and performance. Key pros include the exceptional screen real estate and robust battery life, while cons often noted by users were its sheer size, which impacts pocketability and one-handed use, and the eventual absence of new Google Mobile Services (GMS) support on some software versions.
