Huawei P20 Pro
Since the launch of the Apple iPhone X, many companies took a page of the Cupertino company’s design ideas and released similar looking smartphones (or simply called as Apple iPhone X clones with Android). Huawei was one the companies that released several devices with bezel-less displays and a notch on the front.
