That means you can charge your HUAWEI Mate20 Pro quickly and safely. The fast-charging technology can charge the HUAWEI Mate20 Pro to up to 70 percent (or 2940mAh) in 30 minutes.

The HUAWEI Mate20 Pro supports 15W HUAWEI Quick Wireless Charge. Simply place it on a HUAWEI Quick Wireless Charge dock² to enjoy convenient charging at extreme speeds: a 30-minute charge gives the device 30 percent (1300mAh) battery.

Another Canadian first, the HUAWEI Mate20 Pro features a snappy In-Screen Fingerprint Sensor.
