While the device will probably not get the update to Android 11, it does come with Google Play services as the phone was released prior to Huawei’s US trade ban.
It’s an all glass phone though, making it vulnerable to scratches and cracks. Here are our top case picks for the Mate 20 Pro.
The Smart View Flip case allows you to see the most important details, like call, alarms, and weather right on the cover. It’s an official Huawei case, so you can expect a perfect fit on the Mate 20 Pro.
If you’re looking for an inexpensive case which shows off the design of the Mate 20 Pro, Caseflex’s option could be for you.
Made from shock-absorbing TPU material, this case has subtle raised edges which ensures the screen stays protected from drops. There’s complete coverage of the sides as a bumper case, but you still get full access to ports.
Olixar’s wallet case offers a simple solution to protecting the Mate 20 Pro. It’s functional beyond just protection too, as it can be folded into a stand for hands-free landscape viewing.
As you can expect, the wallet case has slots for your credit cards and a pocket to store notes or receipts. At around £6.99/ US$7.99, it’s good value for money, even with the potential of some significant shipping costs.
UAG is quite often a staple in our cases round up as it’s a name we can trust. The Monarch is on the pricier side (though some premium cases can go into the hundred pound/dollar range), but it offers rugged protection that works.
The Monarch is made of five protective layers that uses a combination of a polycarbonate exterior, leather, rubber, and alloy metal. It’s also compatible with wireless charging and NFC payments. What’s not to like?
Like UAG, Spigen is another trusted name in protective cases. We’re happy to see a version of the Rugged Armor for the Mate 20 Pro, which is regularly seen across many Android flagships.
Its raised edges protect the Mate 20 Pro’s precious camera and screen, while the cutouts offer easy access to buttons, ports and the fingerprint scanner.
