Huawei today launched their flagship Huawei P20 Pro and Huawei P20 smartphones at a large event with more than 1,500 guests. They represent a major assault on Apple and Samsung’s dominance of the smartphone industry.
The Huawei presentation, in particular, took special aim at the Apple iPhone X and the recently-launched Samsung Galaxy S9. Find out why Huawei thinks the new P20 Pro and P20 smartphones are more than just rivals to the Apple and Samsung flagship smartphones!
