Huawei also showed next year's flagship. The third phone produced in partnership with Porsche, the Porsche Design Mate RS features the triple Leica in the P20 Pro, adding both an underglass fingerprint sensor, and wireless charging. It'll set you back €1,695 (£1485/ $2103) for the 6GB RAM/256GB storage model or €2,095 (£1835/ $2600) for the 6GB/512GB version, and is available from 12 April.

I dunno. If I had that kind of cash, it would have to be pretty incredible to buy it over a laptop with a larger screen that you can get more work accomplished on.
