Mate 20 was launched a year ago and wasn't the high end version. Honor 20 Pro was launched in May. The Mate 20 Pro was the high end version and it had 6 GB.
You're right! Both battery and the dimensions are identical (vs the honor 20 pro). They've done this before in many Honor / Huawei models, however usually it's the Honor that is lower priced (and launch later).
Seems confusing, better if Huawei made it clear in the phone name whether it has google services. Like Google free edition or Google licensed edition, etc.
"The Nova line from Huawei is part of its strategy to address the wider market with almost up-to-date components...has the hardware inside from high-end devices launched earlier this year" No, some are "almost up-to-date", some are overpriced crap, like Nova 4e. This isn't a line with clear positioning.
I'm pretty sure GMS stands for Google Mobile Services, not Media. Just to echo other posters to say this is based on the the vanilla Honor 20, not the Pro. Interestingly in my country where we have both the Honor 20 and Nova 5T, the Huawei is actually priced lower.

You're correct. I forgot about the non-Pro, especially when we had the Pro in house for a bit. I've updated the article.nicolaim - Tuesday, October 15, 2019 - link
