Which one is best for you?
The S7 is an excellent smartphone with a big battery and dual camera, but the Huawei Mate 20 Pro – a much more recent release – has an even more powerful processor and a much larger AMOLED screen. Plus you can juice up another phone cordlessly with it – thanks to Reverse Wireless Charging.
The Galaxy S7’s professional-grade Dual Pixel sensor takes crisp, clear images after dark – so you can capture your precious memories even when the light starts to fade. Take your photography to the next level with the Mate 20 Pro’s AI-powered Leica triple camera that shoots perfect, detailed landscape photos with the Ultra Wide Angle Lens.
Gameplay on the Galaxy S7 is slick and smooth – with less lag and battery drain than its predecessors. But the Mate 20 Pro has a drastically improved user experience, with machine learning for faster processing – so your games will load quicker and your videos and playlists will stream smoother.
Both phones come equipped with fingerprint sensors, so you can unlock with just a tap. Huawei has neatly hidden its sensor underneath the display, so you can comfortably open your Mate 20 Pro whilst enjoying an edge-to-edge viewing experience. Plus it supports Face ID so you’ll access your apps and files at a glance.
If you want the latest tech and futuristic features, the Mate 20 Pro is the one for you. But if you’re into a classic model that fits your palm and pocket just right, the S7 is an affordable alternative.
