Huawei P20 Pro flagship smartphone with triple-rear camera setup will be launched in India today at an event the company is hosting in New Delhi at 11:30 am. It will be unveiled in the country alongside the Huawei P20 Lite, but it doesn’t seem the Huawei P20 will be arriving in the country as it has been missing from the teasers. The new Huawei P20 Pro and P20 Lite were originally showcased globally in March, following which it was confirmed they will launch in India “soon.” The dedicated listing page on Amazon India for the Huawei P20 Pro and P20 Lite shows the duo will be exclusively available via the e-commerce platform.

We will have to wait for the launch event to find out the official Huawei P20 Pro price in India, though it is likely to be right up there with the prices of Samsung Galaxy S9, iPhone 8, etc. Same goes for the P20 Lite smartphone, which is a more affordable device and will likely be positioned against the likes of Vivo V9 and Oppo F5. For those curious, the two new Huawei models cost EUR 899 (roughly Rs. 72,300) and EUR 369 (about Rs. 29,500), respectively.

It is also touting the most powerful zoom on a smartphone, as apart from 3x optical zoom, the P20 Pro offers 5x lossless hybrid zoom and 10x digital zoom. On the front, the Huawei P20 sports a 24.8-megapixel camera. The company is touting front camera features that help take better selfies.
