Huawei Mate 20 X Review | Trusted Reviews

The Huawei Mate 20 X was a surprise addition to the Mate 20 family that brings a vast 7.2-inch display and a gaming focus to the scene.

Solid performance ; Decent camera ; Great battery life

It’s a giant ; Benefits of GPU Turbo 2.0 are niche ; Not enough game-centric features to justify branding

It may not be able to take on the Nintendo Switch, but it's a good phone nonetheless.

Huawei Mate 20 X & Mate 20 X 5G review: The Godzilla of phones

Yep, it's a 7.2in phone. Or maybe you want to call it a small tablet. Or Godzilla. Whatever: the Mate 20 X is an impressive media powerhouse.

Big screen is fantastic for media and gaming ; Battery life is really phenomenal (less so in 5G model) ; Speedy and smooth performance ; Small notch

Some software foibles ; Consistency across all cameras ; No in-screen fingerprint scanner ; It's really big for a phone

If you're looking for a two-handed mega-sized phone then the Mate 20 X is a genuinely fantastic media powerhouse. It has a great (and, yes, massive) screen, further enhanced by great audio, and the battery just goes on and on whatever you throw at it.

Huawei Mate 20 X

The Huawei Mate 20 X is an obscenely large smartphone but it has many of the features of the Mate 20 Pro for less. Here's our full review of the huge premium smartphone.

Huawei Mate 20 X review

Palm-stretching mega-phone is as big as they come - but there's more to the X than a big screen

Huge AMOLED screen looks fantastic ; Superb triple-lens camera up there with the best ; All the performance you’ll need

Colossal size makes it impractical for many ; Misses out on some top-end tech ; Proprietary expandable storage

An absolutely gigantic screen and some winning features, but overkill for most and not as well-rounded as the Mate 20 Pro

Huawei Mate 20 X review: Android gaming, super-sized

Huawei's 7.2-inch behemoth is an all-round media monster, but its much-touted gaming credentials come up short where it counts.

Enormous 7.2-inch display ; 1-2 day battery life ; Clever rear camera

Mediocre gaming performance and features ; Proprietary memory card ; Average selfie camera

Huawei Mate 20 X review: it takes a little getting used to

After reviewing two devices from Huawei's new Mate family, it's time to get a closer look at the biggest of the three: the Huawei Mate 20 X.

Design and materials ; Exceptional battery life ; Camera ; Performance

Speaker position ; Size and usability with one hand

The Huawei Mate 20 X is a great smartphone for those who spend so much time in front of the smartphone to play or see multimedia content, perhaps during their travels by plane or train. With the huge amount of screen available you can enjoy the best of...
