Summary
- The Huawei Mate 20 X and Huawei Mate 20 X (5G) share a similar build quality with glass fronts and backs, aluminum frames, and identical display specifications, featuring a 7.2-inch OLED screen with HDR10 support and a resolution of 1080 x 2244 pixels.
- Performance is also consistent, as both devices utilize the Kirin 980 chipset, with options for 6GB or 8GB of RAM.
- Camera capabilities are the same, offering a triple rear setup with a 40 MP main sensor, optical image stabilization, and 4K video recording.
- However, the Mate 20 X has a larger 5000 mAh battery compared to the 4200 mAh in the Mate 20 X (5G), but the latter supports faster 40W charging.
- Software experience remains unchanged with Android 9.0 and EMUI 9.1, although the Mate 20 X (5G) lacks a headphone jack.
