Huawei's latest flagship P20 series of smartphones was unveiled to the world late last month at an event in Paris. While this was a global launch, teasers and media invites have revealed that variants in the Huawei P20 range are arriving in India on April 24. Now, in a recent development, a new landing page has surfaced on Amazon.in says the Huawei P20 Pro and Huawei P20 Lite will be "coming soon" and will be exclusive to the e-commerce platform. Interestingly, the P20 is nowhere to be seen. Pricing and availability details for the Indian market are currently unknown.
The dual-SIM P20 Pro runs EMUI 8.1 on top of Android 8.1 Oreo out-of-the-box, while the P20 Lite runs EMUI 8.0 with Android Oreo in the background. As for display specifications, the P20 Pro has a 6.1-inch panel while the P20 Lite gets a slightly smaller 5.84-inch display, both full-HD+ FullView displays with resolutions of 1080x2240 and 1080x2280 pixels respectively.
In terms of internals, the Huawei P20 Pro is powered by an in-house HiSilicon Kirin 970 SoC, coupled with 6GB of RAM and 128GB inbuilt storage. On the other hand, the P20 Lite is fuelled by a HiSilicon Kirin 659 SoC, paired with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of onboard storage.
As for optics, the Huawei P20 Pro features a triple camera setup- an 8-megapixel sensor on the top that comes with 3x optical zoom, a 40-megapixel RGB sensor, and a third 20-megapixel monochrome sensor. Between the lenses, lies a Leica colour temperature sensor. The P20 Lite, on the other hand, gets a vertical dual camera setup on the back with a 16-megapixel primary sensor and a 2-megapixel secondary sensor. In the international markets, the Lite model comes with a 16-megapixel selfie camera, but the India variant will sport a 24-megapixel sensor in front.
