So a little while ago, I had the opportunity for a sneak peek at the new Huawei P20 lineup (the P20, P20 Pro and P20 lite) but a storm in Toronto caused me to miss the flight.
Which sucks as that phone looked amazing. First ever 'triple lens' camera. And it's Leica. Huawei is invested in photography.
And the lineup is officially coming to Canada now as they announce the carrier coverage. The pricing will be flagship level pricing, but I think at their specs (and 128GB!) it's definitely in the 'doable' range.
The P20 will be ~$750CDN off contract and $0 on contract, the Pro will be $1000CDN (well worth the extra price) and $250CDN on contract.
The Lite will be a Fido exclusive, but they don't have the pricing on there yet. Your carrier may vary slightly with pricing.
Check out the press release below for the full listing of carriers.
