If you don't want to shell out more than $1,000 upfront for Huawei's latest smartphones, these contract options are your best bet.
It didn't take long for Aussie telcos to roll out their contract plans for Huawei's latest smartphone line. Unveiled on the cusp of midnight 16 October 2018, both the Huawei Mate 20 and Huawei Mate 20 Pro swiftly went on sale with Optus and Vodafone, the only two Australian mobile providers offering the new handsets. The Huawei Mate 20 Pro is available through both Optus and Vodafone, but the regular Mate 20 is exclusive to Vodafone.
You can compare Optus's and Vodafone's plans in the table below. Alternatively, you can view Vodafone's Mate 20 plans by themselves here, or Optus's Mate 20 Pro plans here.
