Galaxy Fold counts with a slightly better camera than Huawei Mate 20, because although it has a smaller camera sensor which provides a worse image and video quality, and they both have a camera in the back with a 12 mega pixels and the same video quality, the Galaxy Fold also counts with faster 60 fps video frame rate and a larger camera aperture.
Although Galaxy Fold is a better device, it costs a lot more money than the Huawei Mate 20, and it doesn't have such a good relation between it's price and quality as the Huawei Mate 20. If you want to save a few dollars, you can get Huawei Mate 20, letting go a couple features and specs, but you will get the most with your budget.
