In the end that didn't happen, because of pressure from US lawmakers (allegedly). You can still buy the Mate 10 Pro unlocked in the States, but that won't be the case for the P20 family. While Huawei has made even the Mate 9 available in the US in unlocked form, it's never gone the same...

That's because Huawei's online-first sub-brand has just sent out invites for the phone's official introduction, which will instead happen on April 2 - that's next Monday. The invite confirms the main dual camera setup, and it also hints at dual speakers and support for Face Unlock. The phone pictured in yesterday's leak was surprisingly devoid of any fingerprint scanning solution, so you're probably going to put the face identifying...
