One of the top gadget YouTubers in the world recently conducted a massive blind smartphone camera test and the results shocked many people. You can watch the whole thing right here, but we’re going to spoil it for you: the Huawei Mate 20 Pro was the clear winner. Nothing else in the world can match this flagship phone’s camera quality, but sadly you can’t buy it from any wireless carriers or consumer electronics retailers in the US. In fact, if you want one your only source is Amazon, where you’ll find the Mate 20 Pro available unlocked so you can use it with any wireless network you want. And as an added bonus, it’s available for hundreds less than a comparable iPhone XS Max.
