In my words
Straight from the video. Tap a timestamp to hear me say it.
“you've got a proper triple camera with an ultra wide lens and a telephoto camera”
“the standard p20 which is also a pretty good phone but it misses out on a lot of what makes the pro special”
“the P20 has the edge when it comes to tasks such as taking a photo and opening the camera”
“the Huawei P20 keeps up remarkably”
“pretty underwhelming but somewhat explained by its inefficient LCD panel and last generation chipset”
“the p20 somehow amongst this managed to finish before the iPhone 8 plus that's not great”
