Last month, Huawei has announced their latest four flagship smartphones to join its Mate 20 series — Mate 20 and Mate 20 Pro, Mate 20X and Mate 20RS — at their event in London, UK and one of them, Huawei Mate 20 Pro has been launched in India at INR 69,990.

All of the four Huawei Mate 20 series devices support wireless projecting that allows users to project presentation, gaming or video to a larger screen — like a TV or a projector. Even in this mode, the devices can be used to send messages or make phone calls without hindering your privacy.

The proprietary Huawei Kirin 980 SoC also powers all of the four Mate 20 devices, which also sport a triple-lens rear camera, though differing in specs and features. This is the first Huawei Mate series device to be launched in India.

The Huawei Mate 20 Pro will be available on Amazon starting December 3 for Prime members and a day later others. It will also be available in all Croma stores across the countries starting December 10.

The company is also giving the option of bundling the smartphone with Sennheiser PXC 550 headphones for INR 71,990.
