Huawei P20 and P20 Pro camera-centric smartphones to launch in India soon

Huawei launched one of the most talked-about camera smartphones of the recent times – P20 Pro alongside the smaller P20 variant at an event in Paris last month. Coming in as powerful imaging smartphones, both Huawei P20 and P20 Pro are currently perched on the top two positions in DxOMark rating with a score of 109 and 102, respectively for the P20 Pro and P20. Now, the brand has been teasing both smartphones from its official Indian Twitter handle, hinting that the launch is imminent.

Huawei India has tweeted a series of teaser videos from its handle with each and every one of them highlighting the imaging prowess of these handsets. Earlier, there had been some ambiguity whether both smartphones will be launched in India or just either of the two models. However, in the recent tweets, the brand has been teasing both the dual camera and triple camera module. So it is safe to assume that both Huawei P20 and P20 Pro will land in the country soon. Although, the brand has not revealed any timeline for the launch and availability of the smartphones.
