Huawei P20 features a little bit better camera than Huawei P30 Lite, because although it has a back-facing camera with way less MP and a tinier back-facing camera sensor giving a worse image quality, and they both have a F1.8 camera aperture, the Huawei P20 also counts with a lot higher 3840x2160 (4K) video definition.
Despite of being the best phone between the ones we are comparing, Huawei P20 is also a bargain compared to others, which makes it an obvious call.
