As we can see from the Desire 20 Pro, it points to a good mid-range smartphone. Starting with a large 6.5-inch Full HD+ IPS screen, it is big enough to satisfy your viewing pleasure.

In terms of hardware, the Snapdragon 665 chipset paired with a fast Kryo octa-core processor, excellent graphics and a large 6GB RAM combines well to provide an excellent experience. Fast enough for all your daily needs and still have room for some more.

Camera-wise, this is where the Desire 20 Pro will shine the brightest.

Blessed with a 48MP quad primary camera, you can be sure of a fantastic photo-taking experience. It is fully loaded with all the features that you can get from a mid-range device. Then there’s also the 25MP selfie camera to make sure all your selfies looking great.

All these high-res photos will fill up space in no time at all. Thankfully the Desire 20 Pro comes with 128GB of internal storage that can be easily expanded with the available microSDXC expansion slot.

Next, we have the 5000 mAh battery on the Desire 20 Pro which should be more than capable to power up the smartphone for a good day of two in between charging. And when the time comes to plug it in, the Fast battery charging feature will do its job in very little time.

Finally, the latest Android 10 operating system will be available right out of the box accompanying the Desire 20 Pro’s release. This should add more value to it as it can last for a few years down the road.

Conclusion:
