Berlin, Sep 1 : Chinese smartphone maker Huawei has sold 10 million units of its flagship P20 Pro and P20 devices since their global launch in late March this year, the company said on Saturday.
Huawei P20 Pro and P20 were the world's first devices to receive a triple-digit score by DxOMark -- the industry standard for camera and lens image quality measurements and ratings.
Priced at Rs 64,999, P20 Pro comes with an Artificial Intelligence (AI)-powered triple rear camera system.
Even today, the Huawei P20 Pro remains at the top of the DxOMark Mobile leaderboard with a score of 109, leading the second place competitor device by six points, said the company.
"By going above the 10-million mark, we have again set ourselves a high bar to clear," said Kevin Ho, President of Handset Business, Huawei Consumer Business Group.
Featuring cameras co-engineered by Leica with an "AI Image Stabilization" feature and large sensors, the P20 Series makes professional grade photography accessible to anyone.
The European Image and Sound Association has named the Huawei P20 Pro the "EISA Best Smartphone 2018-2019," citing that the device is "the most advanced, innovative and technically superior smartphone ever."

Punishment for those disrupting assembly proceedings, warns Speaker UT Khader
Belagavi: Speaker U.T. Khader on Friday warned that members who disrupt Assembly proceedings by talking in their seats during debates will be made to sit in the House for an entire day as a disciplinary measure.
The warning came after the Question Hour, when Deputy Leader of the Opposition Arvind Bellad was permitted to initiate a discussion on the development of North Karnataka.
At this point, expelled BJP MLA Basanagouda Patil Yatnal objected, stating that he had been seeking a debate for the past three days but had not been given an opportunity.

Responding to the objection, Speaker Khader said Bellad had already been granted permission and assured Yatnal that he would be allowed to speak at the next opportunity. He noted that even as a serious discussion was underway, several MLAs were speaking among themselves with their microphones on, disrupting the proceedings.
Expressing displeasure over the conduct of members, Khader likened the situation to football, where players receive red, yellow, or white cards for violations. Similarly, he said, the Assembly issues warning cards to members who disturb the House. If they fail to correct themselves despite repeated warnings, they would be required to remain seated in the Assembly hall for a full day as punishment, he stated.
