If you’re after a dual sim device that doesn’t cost an arm and leg (or more), then you’ll find Huawei’s Mate 20 Pro, one of 2018’s premier phones, is on sale at JB Hi-Fi and Amazon for $799.
The Mate 20 Pro is an impressive device, with the Huawei/Leica triple camera on the rear providing some of the best photos you’ll get on a mobile device, robust IR facial recognition technology on the front, wireless charging and a whole lot of punch.
For $799, you could certainly do a whole lot worse. Check out the specs:

Bear in mind that this is a 2018 phone. Sales on old models as newer ones are about to launch are pretty common, and we’re exciting to see a Mate 30 from Huawei in the next few months.
JB Hi-Fi has the Mate 20 Pro available in 3 colours: midnight blue, twilight and black. Delivery starts at $10 and the phone is – annoyingly – not available for click-and-collect.
Amazon has a single listing with black and midnight blue colours. It’s also offering free shipping and you can use cashback to save a little more money.
Thanks Huawei, for killing the resale value on my Mate 20 Pro I bought in November from Jbhifi for $1499…
