Has anyone received the September security patch yet??

Don't buy Mi9 Battery performance is only normal Camera is not on par with P20pro P20pro camera performance is better than Mi9 P20pro camera rating in Dcomark is 109 points Audio system in P20pro is Dolby There is non moon shot mode in M9 Mi9 display is Amoled but P20pro display is way better Amoled display than Mi9 Kirin 970 is very efficient How dare you tell Mi9 is better than Huawei p20pro Night mode , Leica Lens are main selling point of P20pro I wanna ask you What Mi9's main selling point Only SD855 That is nonsense

P.V.A.

Hah, just upgraded from S7 to P20Pro. I like it. The camera is very good. Performance is also very good, no lags etc. I bought it for 409 EUR. For this price I can only recommend the P20Pro. By the way, the MIUI is not irritating in comparison with Samsung's UI.

Fenrir

Hi, is Huawei P20 Pro still worth now? want to upgrade from Samsung Galaxy S7

Hippy boy

Don't know much about phones so just want to know can I use my sim card out of my p8 lite 2017 in the p20 pro thank u

Between the Huawei P20 Pro and a OnePlus 6T which do you guys think has a more versatile, more functional, more better front & selfie cameras?

zeeshan.mazhari

Dolby Atmos is always-on in speaker mode and once you plug in headphone you will have an option to switch it off. Video quality as compared to S9+ is less detailed, and OIS doesn't exist in 4K mode, also no 4K 60fps. With regards to S9, I think it will also get it sometime in 2020 only.

Gino76ph

RE the audio...is the Dolby Atmos feature turned on automatically (or turned on manually) when listening via speakers or headphones? (like the Galaxy S9+)? When you mean the video is not on par with the S9+ what do you exactly mean? In what way or what aspects? I heard one or both of the cameras has no wide angle lens like the Galaxy S9+? March 2020 for Android 10 is still a long way off. That is approx 7 months since it arrived on Pixel devices. (I'm not gonna ask/discuss about why it takes too long as i think we all know why)

zeeshan.mazhari

1- March 2020 2- It supports Dolby Atmos 3- Yes, Stereo output with earpiece 4- Yes, a lot of camera updates have come, however video quality is not on par with S9+ but not that bad. Night mode is already very good. Beauty mode can be turned off but I feel that it still beautifies a little but it happens with rear camera's portrait mode and selfie camera. Stabilization is excellent in 1080p videos, but in 4K it doesn't exist at all. 5- It doesn't support CameraAPI hence Google Camera app cannot be used to the fullest. 6- It has Easy Projection, you can either cast the screen to a Smart TV or open EMUI desktop mode as-well which is excellent 7- I never come across such swipe bug 8- Not sure, I will come back to answer 9- Yes you can uninstall almost all 1st party app, or at least disable them 10- Dark mode is present but not working with some 3rd party apps I am using P20 Pro for almost a year now and am very much satisfied with it. Still snappy, and excellent battery life. Camera still comparable to current date flagships. I hope this will help you decide.

Gino76ph

I'm very much interested in purchasing this phone after being adequately impressed with my Mediapad M5 Lite tablet. But I have some questions: 1 Approximately what month will the EMUI 10 (based on Android 10) will be pushed to the devices? 2 Does it support Dolby Atmos? If yes is the feature turned on automatically when listening via speakers or headphones? (like my Galaxy S9+)? 3 Does the speakers output stereo? If yes does it come out off the bottom and via the earpiece? (like S9+) 4 Has there been any updates to the cameras (front & rear) recently? If Yes does it actually improves stabilisation, improves contrast/dynamic range/sharpness, corrects barrel distortion and the "jello" effect", improves low light photos, ability to turn off the beauty mode? (most common complaints) 5 Does it support CameraAPI? (so we can install the Google Cam apk) 6 How can i cast the screen to my TV via the Chromecast? DO i need to install a 3rd-party app? 7 I heard a bug on EMUI 9.0/9.1 that you are unable to swipe away notifications for some reason? IS so then has the bug been patched? 8 What bitrate does it record in audio when taking a video? 9 Can i uninstall or disable most Huawei 1st-party apps now? (as it can be distracting/annoying) 10 IS there a native dark mode now (like the S9+) or is it still coming to EMUI 10? Thank you.

Gino76ph

But is the Mi9 IP-rated or splash resistant though?

If you turn off this functions pics can be natural?!

Is it worth buying this mobile phone bc I need for good quality photos, thank you.

Anonymous

Good opinion, I will buy one, BUT: 1. MIUI and EMUI are very simillar 2. Not really the fastest but it is very fast... Oh well 3. 4000mAh vs 3300mAh... 4. USB 2.0 vs USB 3.1... ... Oh well, I'll buy a Mi 9. Thank you!

Anonymous

Mi 9. 1. Better processer (one of the fastest, if not the fastest phone out there. Even faster than P30 Pro or S10 Plus). 2. Better camera (Has ultra wide camera which P20 Pro doesn't have, you can put gcam on it and it has 48mp with closed loop motor replacing the OIS) 3. Better battery (Snapdragon 855 is more efficient than P20 Pro's Kirin 970 and Miui is very optimised, you can check battery tests of Mi 9 on YouTube. 4. More features (Supports 27W Charging, 20W Wireless Charging, Fast In display Fingerprint) 5. Newer (so longer updates, will support up to Android 11 while P20 Pro can support up to Android 10)

cheekytraveller

Since I posted this earlier, I can safely say that there are some performance issues with the new update. Delayed app opening, the phone gets hot and it's generally not very responsive and apps keep crashing. Has anyone else experienced this?

cheekytraveller

I dislike this new update. On my lock screen, most notifications no longer show content, even though they are set to. So I have to go into each app to view. That defeats the purpose. The Apps screen addition is pointless (suggestions). It just takes up more unnecessary space.

There's few options to turn off in selfie camera - Master AI, lightning, beauty effect... So, don't tell that the camera is a crap, if you don't know how to use it! And about EMUI... It has the same learning curve as the Samsung's ui. At the end it's your fault, so don't blame the phone...

My wife got this phone three months ago.. she totally hated it from the first day.. so she pushed me to give her my samsung and got the p20 pro. I had it for a week.. these are my thoughts of it.. excellent built quality, excellent battery life , very good oled screen , but not as good as a Samsung super amoled screen , excellent stereo speakers , very snappy in opening and closing apps.. very fast in wifi and lte.. BUT... EMUI is a crap.. a total mess that confused me.. the camera was perfect when shooting landscapes.. BUT.. when shooting people IT'S A DISASTER.. HUAWEI'S beautiful mode makes people look like they are made out of wax. So bad that there 100% fake.. and there is no option to turn that setting of. Is part of the camera software and can't be turned off.. it took me a week to sell it. And got me self the new A70.. excellent midrange phone.. be aware.. this phone's camera is a total crap when shooting people. And the EMUI is a big mess..

Loving my new P20 Pro upgraded from the honor 10 which was a great mid range phone but not a spot on the P20 Pro. The master AI is far better than on the honor and it seems to not over saturate the photo to much. The zoom is fab 3x optical, 5 x hybrid and even 10 x digital im impressed. Now running pie update, i have the perfect photo to carry around if i don't have my Nikon dslr with me.

I already own the honor 10 which is a cheaper slimmed down version of the pro. I didnt like the rounded glass on the p30 pro or the mate 20 pro. Do you really need all the zoom to?? P20 pro have 3 x optical and 2 x digital so 5 x hybrid zoom. will do for me. Ive also been told to shoot in only 10mp as the 40mp setting as the 10mp gives you a clearer more detailed shot.

I am not sure which one to buy, the P20 pro or P30 (Not pro). In Thailand the price for p20 pro has dropped to around 600$ and P30 stands at 700$. My main reason to buy one of these is photography. 1. They almost have identical camera, but p20 pro is ios 2. P20 pro had higher ips 3. P30 has in screen unlock 😁 Please suggest and help.

At first, I was very happy with this phone. Overtime I have come to dislike it. - Issues with the battery drains way too quickly!!! - Randomly reboots that are as annoying as hell :( - Camera - Specs are fancy, but over exposure is an issue that makes pictures looks strange at times.

Hans Holgersson

No. it is dual stand by.

Neo

I have this phone few months and although it has very good specs, I'm wondering for some issues. - camera stability on video is cool on 60fps but should be in 4K also. - sometimes photos look very sharp and detailed that makes them look quite strange. - on Instagram when I'm trying to post a video as story, while I'm on draft mode before publishing, the video is not playing but stuck. After I publish then it shows normally but I don't know the reason and still didn't find any solution.

Well Huawei are bit like Samsung and LG and Sony. Slow on updates. So again if you the latest updates quick get a pixel. I'm on Android 9 at the mo. It's due another update. So should be Q update but not sure on anything after that.

Yulia

thank you, now I am clear enough for it's performance. so how's the software support for huawei? I never used their devices before. do you think it will get android Q or even R?

Markster2018

To be honest if its raw power the snapdragon does out perform the Kirin chipset. But benchmarks are not sole selling point. Now I.m.o I have had snapdragon based phones and they tend to overheat. Now I'm a gamer and play a lot of real racing 3. And the Kirin 970. Runs sweet as a nut and no over heating issues. Onto the P20 pro screen the FHD+ is sharp for watching videos. Colourful enough for viewing pictures. And handles games fast frame rate. So hope this helps.

Yulia

which one is a better performer? I don't always play games, but when I do I will play it for a few hours. I'm a occasional heavy user. also, how's your screen, any issue with it?

Markster2018

Who cares about boot loaders and custom roms emui 9 and pie runs sweet as a nut for me.

Right honestly the phone is amazing ive Had mine months no issues. Right it boils down to 2 issues that will make your mind 1 P20 pro has better night mode. 2 The camera set up is pretty impressive And reason to get Pixel 2 XL 1 latest updates 2 pure android whichever version your on. Camera very good for Sony module.

hey! dont talk like that for huawei! Huawei is great! I have the p10 and i dont have any issues! still in 2019 its worth it!! Now its even cheap so its pretty good deal. its about $300!

Cant believe all the negativecomments on this phone. I own a P20 pro. And cant fault it. The camera is outstanding. The screen is faultless for a 1080p. My only niggle no 4k 60fps. Which is bizarre. So all in all I would recommend this mobile.

where u bought?

NicuS

I bought a Huawei P20 Pro phone two months ago in Romania. The phone has had problems with the display from the beginning, but I have considered it to be automatic brightness calibrations. My phone then had a miniblast (stand on the desk). At the Huawei service I was told that the display is broken and therefore the repair can not be covered by the warranty. It looks like the Huawei Pro p20 is not one that comes in the premium range, although it is as expensive as a premium one. I certainly will not buy another huawei product, considering I've already got a 700 euro loss.

Anonymous

Just bought one for me and my girlfriend. With cheap contract for 6 months they were about 330 Euro each. I have to say Emui has come a long way. The P20 pro is running Android 9. Its pretty smooth and quick in response. The battery is very good, and if you run a partial black wallpaper and dark menus, the battery is really great. Cameras are still fantastic. And in some ways better than the mate 20 pro. The screen has great colors, and I personally like the front fingerprint scanner, which I use for navigation (so you get a bigger screen area). Build quality, Wifi reception, Bluetooth and cellular reception are class leading I would say (something often overlooked by reviewers - but very importatant).. No 3,5 mm jack is kind of a bummer, but at least you get an included dongle and USB C headset. And fitted nice screen protector and transparent silicone case. All in all one of the best phones I have had since my trusty old Galaxy S3 many years ago :)

fin46

The GPS in my unit has been very inaccurate. Is slow to update position when on the move making car navigation impossible, almost unusable when trying to navigate on foot as well. In general the GPS is useless and frustrating. Has anyone else had these issues and do you know how to fix it? Thanks.

4k Video taken from Huawei P20 Pro. Check it out on 4K TV or Monitor.

VectorR

Oh, I completely understand you. I've had a similar sense of frustration after buying highest rated, cameraphone #1 in whole world - Huawei Mate 20 Pro. The main reason of getting it was the camera system and how it performs against my Pixel 3 phone. After playing with it for couple of weeks I've sold it and came back to Pixel. Sure the Mate 20 Pro cameras are awesome especially zoom, macro and wide angle. But it appeared that cameras performance is inconsistent. Some shots are really outstanding but a lot of crappy ones. I was getting a lot of out of focus photos compared to Pixel 3. Also night mode pictures are coming out over-contrasted and washed out quite often. People's faces coming out washed out, over-smoothed too often as well. Night mode video is just a disaster, completely unusable. Since P20 Pro / Mate 20 Pro cameras are very similar, I guess all my complains apply to both of them. Finally, EMUI experience was worse than I expected. I do like to see notifications of all kind on my Always-on display to be able not to dive into the phone every time to check messages, emails, missed Skype calls etc. Apparently it is the case for Mate 20 Pro. Moreover, I wasn't getting notifications visible in the top left corner of the screen unless I swipe it down. Fingerprint scanner is a pain as well. So all thing considered, the phone is heavily overpriced. Definitely not worth to buy it for $1000 at the moment in current state. Hope Huawei will address the issues so I might buy this again in half a year for half price. Cheers

Me and another two my friends have this phone...phone is good, nothing in general to complain, but something happened very interesting... all together we did phone factory reset, after that we took the same picture under the same condition (indoor, outdoor and low light condition)... on all three phone picture come out different...we don't know why this happened... hardware problems or what?

P20 pro vs Mate 20 which one to choose

Markster2018

This mobile is excellent. The camera is awesome. The battery life is very good. My only real complaint is the 4k video is only 30fps. It looks OK. But think 1080p 60fps is sharper and clearer. Other than its well recommended.

inside83

Blaming the phone for not properly configuring your PC? You could choose H264 instead of H265 video format/codec, like @WHO said or you could install the appropriate codec. I'm assuming you use Windows on your PC, so just go ahead and install K-Lite codec pack from codecguide. Use mega version. It has all you'll ever need to play video and audio on your PC.

you should choose H264 instead of H265 video format/codec while recording your video. its embed on video setting menu. This phone can record H265 video to lower video file size but finding compatible player on your PC is difficult since you need to find decoder to play it. So choose H264. Go to camera app, click video then go to video settings, click resolution, then tick h.264

I am very surprized how good reviews this phone gets generally. Based on good reviews I decide to buy one and did last November. This is my 3rd Huawei phone. the other 2 are a few years old budget models that both have worked fine so far. The P20 Pro is different. I was focused on the "good" camera when I made my decision, thinking about bringing this phone with me when I travel and leaving my cameras at home. But that will not be possible. The camera is in many ways ok although some features are useless gimmick that actually make the photos worse, like f.x. the portrait mode that washes out the photos, and often colors are way off in normal conditions and the digital zoom is a joke ;). But the night mode and the panorama mode are quite good, also the pro mode when used for RAW photos. What is worst about this phone is that it can not be used for video recording. To explain that further I have been recording some videos and yesterday I had accumulated 25 videos on the phone. And playback on the phone is no problem. But since I want to watch my videos on my TV I decided it was time to download them from the phone to my desktop. So I did, but then only 5 of 25 videos can be played on the computer. I have downloaded this again on a differnt computer, updated the Hi-suite, bypassed the Hi-suite. Nothing works, only 5 vids of 25 can be played when downloaded. Playing the others results in some error code on one computer. The other will play the audio and not the video. This is very frustrating. I can not recommend this phone and really regret buying it since the idea was to use it for photos and videos primarily. Also I find it strange that in the reviews no one seems to have run into this problem. Maybe it has to do with some quality control and I just got a lemon. Forums like this are my last try to find a solution to the problem before going to the seller and returning it.

how is sound quality on hdphones?

I have P20 pro 64g 6g RAM

Camera lens repairs are fairly straightforward if that is something you are prepared to look into

fin46

28% to 24% overnight is not out of the ordinary. There is no cause for concern

fin46

Huawei's AI integration helps with this devices longevity. It should easily last you two years.

fin46

The P20 Pro is far superior in this list.

I got this phone on December, everything is great so far until recently i cracked the rear camera. I was surprised since I didn't expect it to crack after I was carefully placing down my phone on a table, the table was flat and smooth. I heard a crack noise and checked the back of my phone, noticed 3 separate cracks on the lenses. The cracks dont seem to affect the picture quality, and its still amazing and kicks ass, but it is just a pain to look at. Its not very noticeable but my mind keeps telling me there's cracks on the lenses. Guess ill buy one of those expensive fusion cases and tempered glass for the rear cam.

fin46

Ingress damage is not covered under the warranty. You can't get angry at Huawei for denying your warranty claim. As you described 'dropping' your phone into water, water impacting the device with force can cause more pressure than the IP rating can withstand. You have to take that factor into account when you are claiming the device was only submerged to a 30cm depth. You cannot blame the phone or Huawei's response for your predicament.

fin46

HiCare is pre-installed on this device. Swipe down from the middle of the home screen to search for it

fin46

Would highly recommend consulting Huawei about your issue, the cameras are this devices greatest asset.

fin46

Android 9.0 Pie will be available globally by mid February. This is dependent on your region and carrier.

fingers crossed, nothing has been promised

If the repair was performed by Huawei or an authorised Huawei repair agent, the IP rating will be reinstated.

Hey anyone faced with the glue gate issue? It was something I haven’t heard before till I got on my mate 20 pro. It’s just 22 days old.

I just got it today with 2 years plan from my ISP. I got 2 updates one was for android Pie, i have xiaomi redmi 5 plus too and i was able to unlocked the bootloader and install a custom rom! But on huawei P20 Pro i can't because Huawei block it and i have to pay 3rd party to do it for me so no thanks. Great smartphone, Beautiful, fast but the locked bootloader is something huawei have to think about.

Thanks for advice , I will try now ;)

So you can afford this phone and you cannot afford to buy a bluetooth headset. Anker blue tooth headset is very affordable with great audio. And moresoe, if your issue is the absence of dedicated headset plug, it was not hidden anyway. When you picked up the phone, you already know it. So you accepted it that is why you bought it. Dumb comments...

This phone is great so far, great camera. If couldnt bring my DSLR, I greatly rely on this phone with its amazing picture quality. Only problems I've had so far was the facial recognition couldn't identify my face but it could be fixed just by restarting the phone and the other problem is when using the portrait mode, the blurry effect is just kinda meh and sometimes the blurry effect would also affect the subject of the photo, so i take a couple more photos so I could get the blur right (mostly probably is because i have shaky hands :/ ). But overall its a great phone, great camera, great battery life. Its amazing!

MikeTheActorMan

Erm, what? The issues you've mentioned there seem very isolated and unusual and specific to you and your model... Sounds like a software issue with Netflix - maybe try installing it again? And as for the WiFi issue you're having - try checking for an update on your phone, or investigate your WiFi settings? Either way, those aren't universal problems with this phone... just something you seem to be experiencing, so it hardly seems fair to bash it the way you are. Also, not being able to charge while listening to music is such a non-issue these days. For starters, you rarely need to charge this phone as the battery is incredible and it easily lasts a day and a half, even when I TRY to drain it. And when you DO charge it, it's super fast! Just charge it at night, dude... And as for listening to music - get a bluetooth speaker, or bluetooth headphones - they're SO cheap these days. Job done. This is the second best phone available on the market today, beat only by Huawei's own successor the Mate 20 Pro.

IMKARICH

Worst decision I made of switching from Samsung to Huawei... I don't know where to start : from the inability to charge and listen to music at the same time because of that stupid iPhone style plug or from the regular issue I have with Netflix that obliges switch off every time or maybe also with the issue of recognizing my own home wifi and having again to switch off and on. Then other missing basic elements : not possible to program a message,... I really don't advice this phone.

phoe

The camera is awesome(night photos and 3x zoom), display is great, performance is ok, batter life is awesome, no Samsung, LG, Sony can work so long as P20 Pro.

first of all,this is my dream phone, i love this phone when huawei said they want to make a concept phone with 3 cameras and twilight colour. i started to fallin in love with this phone and i been waiting 2 years only to see huawei launching this phone,i waiting again until they sell it in singapore.... i bought in the end, and its just like dreams comes true, imagine you have 1 phone with that specification and technology, i mean i really think this phone is amazing, one day i was swimming, and i was taking a picture after that i miss handle and my phone felt to the water, only 7 sec maximum and 30 cm deep max, i am not that worry because i know huawei said p20 pro is ipv 67, mean dust resist and water splash resistant.. after that i realise speaker went bad, and i am thinking ok speaker wet probably and it will be back to good in the next 3 hours... yup i am right after 3 hours everything back to normal next day i realise my screen like something wrong , its like a lamp almost broken , blinking so i am thinking what happened with my phone, but after couple hours everything back to normal...i am glad with that...next day or 2 days after swimming pool, my screen black,i cant see anything,i am abit panic because i know something wrong with my screen..i tried to calm down after couples hour i can turn back on my screen, and again i am glad with this,but this keep happening i mean black screen and adter wait couple hours back to normal, the next day or 4 days after, my screen finally Rest in peace.... until now my screen still black, i cant see anything,i am really sad and upset in the same time, after i check all the detail i just realise actually the function still working well, i mean google( if u using google assistant you can cal your phone "hey google) still working, even voice command ,wifi,i even can accept a phone if u can guess where is the exactly "accept button" i can reject phone, i can call someone using voice command... only lcd black i went to service center in my country which is they said they cant repair it i need to go back to singapore to claim but here they said you cant claim because its ur problem got splash by water. i mean WTH! is like you have a car they claim your car has Anti breaking system and when you drive it you crash because that ABS system failed and you cant claim it.... its just like you buy a television with internet and you cant using internet... i buy huawei because of all the spec including water resistant.. i am really really sad and upset .... i using this phone only for 1.5 months and in january i will fly to singapore to service center, cross finger i hope they can fix and i can claim the guarantee... still sad with this situation

Huawei P20 pro vs mate 20 pleas help

Mati

First Impression My first impressions with this phone were that it's amazing (which it really is) I really liked the look of it and it was comfortable in the hand but felt a bit big at first because i just switched from an old Samsung S6. I have a few problems with the phone. The first one is that only in certain themes notifications show up on the lock screen. Two the camera on apps such as snapchat is very laggy if you zoom in, it is really choppy and sometimes the video freezes when I try preview it. In general, the phone is amazing apart from slight software issues which can definitely can be fixed in a future EMUI update. The cameras on this phone are amazing they take unbelievable photos and the battery life is insanely good as expected. I 100 percent recommend this phone to people as it is probably the best phone on the market for the price of it. .

terrryyyyyyy

good phone it calls well

Buxz777

The P20 Pro is the best phone this year in my opinion It now costs less than a one plus phone and for that price you are getting a great handset with awesome camera set up and amazing battery life I bought the note 9 exynos version in the UK but sent it back because of the camera and the rubbish cpu I also sent the mate 20 Pro back because it cost me 900 pounds and it isn't 350 pounds better than the P20 Pro, in some situations the P20 Pro seems to take better pictures At around 550 pounds it's simply the best phone you can buy at the minute If you are thinking of buying one just do it, you will not be disappointed, I never thought I'd send a Samsung note back and prefer a Huawei phone... That's crazy... But its also a true story

The best phone I ever had. The hype is real. It's like you have a DSLR camera in your pocket.

HelarK

Have been using it since april for photo and video, no slowdowns or battery drain, just as fast as ever. Don´t install all the bells and whistles you can find and it uses only few % of battery per working day if idle. Best smartphone i have ever had, better than iPhoneX. When shooting vid with iPhoneX, sound is monophonic but this has a good stereo sound in video.

This phone and Mate 20 Pro in a word: quality. Very good quality.

Eugym

Are you always keep the phone switched on at the whole day? Mine i will always let it "sleep" when I sleep, it will automatically switched on when alarming. Sometimes, always keep phone is ON will not let system cached file cleared or you can run phone manager once awhile to optimize your phone memory and battery. So far I am practicing this and my phone battery is good. One thing have to check with you, did you keep both sim cards activated? I find out it will drain more when I am connected both sim cards

Eugym

Hi, I am owner for P20 Pro. I am happy with using it. My sis was using Mate 10 Pro, so far both phones are very satisfied. Slow? is depend on your usage,and how you use. I have been using it since April 2018, after two times major upgrade (GPU turbo and EMUI 9 beta) the system is more smooth and user friendly. I am awaiting the EMUI 9 official version, China is getting it. But I am from Malaysia. Try it and you will enjoy with it.

Working in a phone shop I get to see every new released device, and I was blown away by the P20 Pro. I think this phone is fantastic. I swapped my iPhone 8 Plus for this phone and was Apple through and through until I experienced this. It's fast, responsive, fantastic camera and it does everything I could want it to and more! I would highly recommend this phone without a doubt.

Anonymous

The Mate 20 pro cameras are better because of the wide angle one and newer software, which P20 pro should get soon. I would go for the p20 pro if I would need to be careful with my budget. For any other reason definitely Mate 20 pro

Wolfy

Depends on what its used for and how it was used and the optimization don't be too Judgy about the phone and besides many people have bought it already so don't you think its waste of money for them? not really a waste and maybe the charge cycles the P20 Pro has been in think first

Shui8

The best part is later on it will get the EMUI 9.0 Android Pie and in that updates, camera recording in 4k will be stabilized along with Master AI 2.0, which improve the photography performance just like Mate 20. I despise who says bad things about Huawei device without experiencing it first. For that price, its a bargain!

I just got the p20 pro a while ago and it is an amazing phone. Despite all the fud EMUI 8.1 is great. You can choose ro use the app drawer in the menu and you can set the fingerprint reader to replace the classical navigation buttons. In the battery settings you can choose which apps will be allowed to run services uninterrupted by the battery optimisation software. On my count there are just a few Huawei apps preinstalled: flashlight, voice recorder, remote control (this one is amazing, it learned my old Mitsubishi AC units in a matter of seconds), dialer,contacts and calendar. Some of them are uninstallable but I chose not to because I actually like them. Pointless to speak about the camera , it's just phenomenal. I am not a heavy gamer so the Kirin 980 is more than enough for me. Usually I run 7-10 tabs in chrome, VLC to stream from my NAS to the Chromecast on my TV, telegram and a few news feed apps...that's usually taking 3.5-4 GB of RAM because I run them all at the same time (VLC does the processing of the media stream on the phone). Another cool thing: when you show all running apps (the classical aware navigation button) it says how much ram is used I.was not 100% sure that I am making the best decision before I got it ...because of all the fud spread by reviewers but now I think it is the best price/value ratio you can get. I got it with a Canadian provider and after 2 years it will come to 480cad...that's about 370 USD. That's less than the OnePlus phones and let's not forget about the battery and the camera. Maybe when it launched it was a tough choise because of the price but now, this phone is a no brainier. If you never owned this phone just stop fudding or stop writing in this thread alltogather

Did they remove OIS from the main 40 MP camera in the Mate 20 Pro? That would be a downgrade, because the P20 Pro had OIS (Optical Image Stabilisation) in it's main 40 MP camera.

Just realized that Samsung has a sort of expiry date on its motherboard after coming near to 2 years or less. My S5 and S7 Edge have similar issues with the motherboard. My wife's S5 and son's S7 also same issue with the motherboard. So I am guessing that they intended me to upgrade to newer models. Decided to switch to Huawei for a change.

There's a high pitched noise, heard with wired headphones, it's actually giving me a headache so I use bluetooth headphones now, which is a shame of my p15s . Also the dragonfly red isn't compatible with Android due to a default audio level setting problem. Did anyone else notice this high pitch amplifier whine?

Can the phone disable the brand watermark on the taken images? Looks like the images are shot from 'a cheap Chinese' phone when I look on a image samples (don't have any racist intentions honestly).

Zoom on most smartphones today is with a different camera that has a different focal length. no quality is lost.

AndreasCY

There is not such a thing as real zooming on smartphones. Since there is no zoom lens, what you actually see is a cropped image of the original photo. This is why you lose quality when you zoom with your phone. So instead of complaining just download an app as Snapseed or similar and crop any photo to your needs. It will be exactly the same as zooming.

I just took delivery of a Mate 10 Pro - brilliant phone, everything you'd want, and quality camera apps. A day later I discovered that for a small price increase I could have had P20 Pro and I had a moment of wanting to exchange the Mate 10. This was entirely about the camera setup. I am a bit of a serious photographer and moving up to a 40mp setup from a 20mp one seemed completely logical. Then I thought a bit more about my existing cameras. Nexus 5. This took a lot of flak in reviews over its 8mp setup but I've taken some quite good pictures with it. Unfairly criticised at the time if you ask me. LG G2. Pretty damn good on all fronts as far as its camera goes, at 1060p. I took some quality landscape photos with it and it's picture editing suite or similar would have improved the G4 a lot. LG G4. Replaced by my Mate 10 Pro, its 2160p 16mp camera was definitely above average but its software became too basic for my needs. I also began noticing a lot of noise when transposing photos from colour to b/w. Basically I've been thinking that a 24mp or similar triple cam setup on the P20 Pro might've made a bit more sense and proved less confusing for phone buyers who don't want to upgrade too often. My Olympus DSLR dates from 2006, has 10.5mp and still does everything I want it to. My Mate 10 Pro is going to last longer than my G4 did and size, I decided, isn't everything when it comes to phone cameras.

i like this phone alot cheap price good benchmarks and good build quality

I sold every make and different providers for 20 years. I would never buy an apple. Nor a Motorola newer than the old bricks. I was there when Samsung were dipping their toes in the market. They were strong, but had to be, coming up against Nokia, which (referring ONLY to the original Finnish company), have still never been surpassed for solid dependability. To get to the point: it seems many companies develop a good reputation and then they ride on it for years before the general public starts to notice that the manufacturer has quite trying. I just bought a Huawei. Liking it. They're moving up and coming forward. There's a good reason the big providers are all supplying them. Before they get ridiculously expensive, at least you won't have to worry about having laid out a bunch of cash for trash.

Hi, I am an Iphone user since Iphone appeared. Now I have to choose between P20 Pro and Iphone X... what do you think?

dreamincolour_xo

HELP? :) I am an apple person through and through. I had a 4s and switched to Samsung s4 and hated it. I got 4 bad ones in 3 months that they had to replace because they all did weird things that they couldn't change and the last one only lasted a year. (I know it wasn't user error as I work for a cell phone company). My current is a 6s. I can't hear out of it anymore. So my question is.... iPhone or huawei? I'm really conflicted as I'm a die hard apple fan even though I know all the problems associated with.

The camera of Huawei P20 pro will be better after updating it's firmware. The picture of night mode is really good and amazing (very less noise)

DD

3 cameras on the back but still can't beat Pixel phone with a SINGLE CAMERA. Pathetic.

CAK

Currently, I am using this model, but the earlier version(6GB RAM). I just have 1 comment, this model should come with bigger screen, with the range between 6.5 inches to 6.8 inches(too big is a little bit difficult to hold) ,because with the good camera and nice photo taken, it is pretty good to view or enjoy with a bigger screen.

No, you won't - it lights up in different colours depending on the app. E.g. for a Viber notification it lights up purple, blue for Facebook etc. It indicates the battery level while charging as well (I've seen orange and green so far).

That's exactly why no radio. Pro phones have no radio becauase iPhone doesn't have it. The chip itself, might actually support radio - but has it disabled :-(

It's good. But if you're simply looking for blazing speed and 4000mah battery, consider the F1 pocophone SD845 at less than half the price. Or if looking for a good camera, get an old Samsung S7 for a similar reduced price. Below USD300, it's hard to find good stuff. You could consider a Moto G6 plus for a good camera for that price level - but it may have GPS bugs. It easily overheats after less than one hour of GPS use (I've tested 3 such models).

It was revealed that USA inserted backdoors in US electronic products, but only for specific targeted users by intercepting postal shipments. So I assume neither US nor Chinese products have general built-in backdoors on all units shipped. These products are under so much scrutiny, that I assume it would be detected if they were. USA has banned Chinese products for government use. I assume this is out of fear that China will use the same postal intercept method, that the USA has used towards other nations.

Look at the price. The captive market of the phone are not the ones who stay at home who listens to radio all day. Generally, people who buy these kinds of phones have internet access. They listen to Spotify. They watch YouTube and Netflix. These people don't bother for the FM radio. Get the point?

Selman

Man Radio you can use 1000 of App .... take it easy ;)

Mr P

Best phone out there that has a really decent quality camera and is affordable for the tech on board. It's also good to see Huawei trying something different, which is more than can be said for Apple and Samsung. I don't like the notch on this, but at least you can turn it off.

Just me

No FM radio? Why? Really, why? Not that the radio is sooo important, but, really, why no radio? What's the problem? No free space on the motherboard? Come on, it is "pro" phone! And still, no radio ... :-)

MaudLean

My old phone caught me checking out the P20 Pro on it, got jealous and froze on me!

Realistic1

This phone is one of final reasons for me to consider smaller phone and another OS. I liked the phone, and despite what everyone says about camera - camera looks... artificial to me. Images aren't looking real. Built quality is another HUGE downside. Despite the phone being ugly - home button like on S7 with notch of iPhoneX, and third camera being lower while top ones protrude (I mean really Huawei?) - it is not even durable. Phone was working as fluid as it can in those 7 days I had it. It took a single drop from chest height for it to break. Both front and back panels. Despite having a case... I sold that rubble for 300€ to a guy who can fix it himself and bought iPhone SE (which is as much as you can get for 300€) and I'm happy with it.

Sadman

yeah! price is so high that it's illogical to buy when there are many flagship phones.100$ is much.so turn to 1+6.and what abt Samsung, it serves us by cutting our pocket by unfair means pricing, do does apple.

MirzaSohail

I think you should consider Galaxy S9 Plus or Wait for Huawei Mate20 Pro launch (October) which will dafinatly a beast with Mattel Body. No doubt p20pro is also a game changer but it lacks basic thing)(no headphone jack, no SD card slot, no gorilla glass protection). S9 plus has all ingredients of a perfect smartphone with all basic and advance stuff only downside is it's battery life I think.

Richo

Please can you update the ring output you state. This phone is nowhere near 91 db. !! Very misleading for someone who wants a phone with good volume on it.

P20 pro cam has no zoom when you take pics with 40 mp. It's stupid.

I'm going to get a new phone 2 days from now so I need opinions. Should I go for P20 pro or Samsung Note 9(overprice I know). I'm currently a Note 2 user which mean either one of this phone is going to be a huge upgrade for me. There's a pro and cons on both of them (Of course). Can anyone tell me about the durability of p20 cause I keep hearing about the p20 pro being too fragile and cracks/bend easily and it worries me. I drop my note 2 countless times on the pavement on the glass side and nothing happens. and yes the p20 got glass back. I'm ready to jump ship to huawei but its durability is a concern. And the selfie camera sucks (overexposed everything) but my god the rear camera is a Beast. How's the battery? Is it as good on paper? So I need help/opinions. Please

Markster2018

there is no such thing as the best phone in the world. Today consumers are spolit for choice. Granted the P20 Pro has the best camera for now. Until another company brings something better bigger which will always. So the best phone in the world is the one thats right for your situation.

Duarte

Huawei P20 Pro, One Plus 6 and S9 are the best phones out there right now.

suarez92

Go for OnePlus 6. His camera isn't bad, but it cannot compare with triple camera that Huawei P20 Pro have. Its just trash compare with his night shots and low light performances.

damn

I don't gaming with phone, but little bit work with spreadsheets. Important that would be good camera, no lags when work with browser, graphic (like navigation osmand+, google my maps). How about S9? S9 size i think much comfortable.

suarez92

If you don't care that much about camera, go for OnePlus 6. Its at least THREE TIMES faster than P20 Pro. I am not saying that OP6 camera is bad, but its not just good as P20 Pro. I personally had both phones, right now in my pocket is P20 Pro, because I need perfect camera for my job. But in terms of speed, multi-tasking OP eats Huawei for breakfast. Also battery life goes into P20 Pro favor, if someone cares about SOT. On OnePlus maximum that I got was 7 hours. On P20 Pro maximum that I got was 12 hours, which was insane.

YO MAMA

Unfortunately it imitates a lot to iPhone X related to its screen, however, camera and the WHOLE phone works so much better than iPhone X.

damn

Impossible to find out best choice buy phone..... All have own positive/negative criterion.. 1.Wait for Apple 11, and then buy X, it will be little bit cheaper, than now. 2.Samsung galaxy S9? S9+ too big for my and my life activities. 3. Huawei P20 Pro?

Correct. Glass will crack or shatter. It's called misuse of you drop it. If you drop your glass or cup, do you expect it to bounce back. ayy lmao

SCUT

well that problem is now fixed with the system update introducing 'gpu turbo' to the phone, that gives you an app called 'game suite', which you can activate an option that avoids those touches while gaming. only with 4 or 5 home button touches, you can exit the games.

I look at it this way. in my experience on Samsung phones. If you want a good looking and great design. With over heating cpu's, same design each year. And yes bloatware then get a Samsung. I used absolutely love Samsung watch all the shows and launches. Then got the products. Shame. thats why there nick name is Samesung. I Have had a S4/S5/S6/S7 and the difference is the number on each model. I just think the mobile market is saturated with similar looking phones. I fancied a change why i got a Huawei and not looking back. ok EMUI 8.1 is a bit pants looking. but the P20 pro is outstanding and worthy of the best phone in the world accolade. Shame all phone dont come as Vanilla Android OS

Well let me give you a example. I have a S7 Edge, dropped it once in my life on the sidewalk. It had a glass protection on top... both Glass protection and Corning Gorilla Glass cracked in 2 different locations. Dropped it from pants pocket level.

I Picked up a P20 Pro today, without doubt it's a good phone, I am upgrading from a Sony Z5 Premium(also a great phone btw) so, the speakers are very good, the camera is great too, its very responsive and the set-up process with the clone phone app was a doddle, copied over 20Gb of data and installed 130 apps in under an hour. Definitely worth considering over a samsung(personal ahtred involved as i had a dog of an s4 that samsung couldn't fix or wouldn't replace) The new sony is awful to hold/look at and the google pixel is way too expensive. This phone seems to have it covered just people don't like the brand.

regs

- 74 mm width is unusable for people lower of 180 cm. 67 mm is the limit for average person. - No 2160p60 recording. - No microSD slot for video recording. - No wireless charging. - Poor, too narrow fingerprint scanner. Round P20 lite scanner is better, yet positioned way too high, for 190cm+ persons. - Limited VoLTE support. Huawei VoLTE only works in few countries with limited set of operators. Huawei bans VoLTE from usage in most countries and most operators.

brilliant phone. Fast, powerful and the camera is simply brilliant. The S9/S9+ in comparison are in the same ball park with specification.

Best camera ever

When I take pictures with this smartphone I watch them amazed. This pictures are the best (in my opinion). Night shots are so illuminated and with lots of detail. The 4000maH battery also gets you juice all day long. Stereo speakers with dolby audio are grat too, same as the AMOLED screen. The only thing I DO NOT like is EMUI. So much outdated, much bloatware and has lots of lags and stutters. I hope Huawei changes this with more Stock appearence like OnePlus or Motorola.

Again, you are comparing P20pro with several phones not one phone. You say that Apple and IOS is better than p20pro but iphone has same problems. Non expandable storage, no headphone jack etc. And it it not true that huawei doesn't have video stabilization - you are making it up. Problem is only shooting at 4K. Normal video stablization HD FHD FHD+ works great. ANd yeah SD845 is a bit better, but you cant tell that wiht normal daily use. On the other hand, premium build, best photo camera, best nightmode camera, best battery life - why didn't you mention that???

Markken

There is no best phone but better for your needs. If you love shooting photos with quality images, go for P20 pro. If you concern about phone speed, oneplus 6 or s9+ is your choice. I have owned p20 pro for 2 months. I love the camera, especially shooting Raw in pro mod. And the battery is incredibly good. However, I am disappointed with the 128Gb memory. It is not enough for photos and videos collector.

Salah

Every category except for Performance (Beat by Snapdragon and Apple's high-end processors), Skin (User Interface is a copy of IOS), Screen quality (Just decent but not spectacular or outstanding like Samsung's), Lack of Headphone Jack, Lack of Card Slot for Expandable Storage and Video Camera (NO Optical Image Stabilization that makes video output look hideous). Yeah, sure it's the best.

Vako

You can buy it for C$900 in Canada. It's the best phone on the market right now in every category.

Yurra

I dissagree. I think this phone is great. It lasts me longer than any other phone i had (battery) and anyone who watches alot of youtube in bed will agree that is great ;). Camera is great. I give you that 4k video shakes if you move cuz it has no 4k vid stabilization. But FHD video is awessome! Build quality is also great. It is funny that u compare its build quality with other phines and than u mention video stabilization and included headphones :):):). I think that headphones are very solid. And u can buy great earphones on ebay for few bucks if u want anyway. And u also say that frontfacing fingerprint is bad????? Why? Is it slow?-no, is it inprecised?-no? Does it nkt function?-no. So u are just trashtalking cuz it is not nice in your personal opinion. I for one like it a lot, and it has also swipepad on it. Also, whay are some people saying tah p20pro doesnt have face id uncolk???? It does. I think 90% people who are writing bad comments didn't even held this phone in hand :):):) trols lols ;). If u want this phone, go and get it, it is great flagship!

Roy

Amazing Phone.... Camera is light years ahead of competition. I never trust marketing but when i used it then I was really amazed with the results. Battery life is another thing to love . Its absolutely monster . Recommended anyone who wants a fantastic device . EMUI is not for everyone, so Nova launcher is must for them .

Selena

Agree, and front camera.is aswell not so good.

Jurgen

The phone is not so bad, but if you compare with Samsung or Apple, the quality is horrible. Example: Galaxy S9 Super Slow Motion is awsome, P20 Pro super slow motion is trash. No 3.5mm port, no Stabilization on 4K video, No 60@fps 4K Video, No wireless charging, No Corning Gorilla Glass protection at all, No face or Iris recognition, Copyed design from Apple, Harmfull Headphones inbox (S9 has AKG included) and this absolutely strange buttion with fingerprint on face side of device

Samsung's Galaxy S9 and S9+ have it. lol. So does the LG V30/35. It's a valid thing to have during natural disasters. We're in 2018 and I still love the IR Blaster. It really helps in a pinch at times.

No doubt it a real monster device, I use it since more than a month and I prefer it over other major flagships.. However, recently and after I loaded all my regular apps and connected to my cloud providers, I realized that there are moments when it absolutely lose every muscle and it will me almost dead as of it is an old generation even before the Android.. That's when I don't have fast response from applications.. Screen touch.. GPS or simply calling a phone number.. It become a different machine.. I still observe this new tging to confirm if it is a network failure, overheat or sun beams and storms that may affect IT gadgets from working properly on hot weather and outdoors.. CAN ANYONE HELP AND ADVISE??

No. Download the official .apk and you got a plain camera app. No HDR+, the essential feature and the reason why we need Google Camera. There is no similar engine that compete HDR+. DRO isn't that great. I see you're so new to this forum theme.

is this better than the s9? which should I buy ive been on iPhone for years but wanting a change

RHEDEN

I have used the Huawei P20 Pro (Black) since it was release in March. In my opinion, the cons are: the brightness is fine, yet when I use it at night and turn the brightness down the phone does not dim as much as I would like it. The camera is the best on the market; however, when taking photos using the front-facing camera it automatically turns to "portrait" mode and this mode uses too much blur and in times when I don't want it to, if you want less or no blur you have to then further switch to a different mode. Another is there is no headphone jack, this may not be a huge issue. The battery life is amazing though not the best. All other features of this phone in my opinion and some in fact this phone the best phone on the market, besides "special edition/limited edition" phones like the Porsche variant of this phone.

Tahir Afzal

It is possible to install Google Camera Just Download APK i am using Google camera in P10

Anonymous

I read your comment here and then went to a store to check this out and I was very surprised that you are indeed right. I was not able to take a proper close up shot, it does not do the focus at all and so it is blurry. You need to be at least 15 cm away from your subject to be able to take a good quality shot. Maybe using the zoom could solve the problem, but still! Why isn't it said on any review? A chance that I tried that before buying it. Of course otherwise the camera is great, but it is a big turn off that you can't even take macro shots

This phone is not so good and premium built as you probably think. Check durability test from JerryRigEverything and you will see what I mean. And by the way, I had a chance to compare it face to face to S9+ (owned by my brother) and XZ2 (I own it) and it is sad that phone with 40MP can not produce better photos (sharpnes, colour and even noise) than other two phones with "normal" camera lens. It's not worth 850 eu.

Jamesschwarz987

Well, this is phone has the biggest cam sensor ever placed on modern smartphones in this last 2 years. But sadly the biggest thumbs down for this phone is the fact that it equipped a Kirin chipset, hence you can't install a Google Camera so it would be a camera monster, since the noice reduction in the phone's camera app is so aggressive that it reduces a lot of detail especially in the low light, which is kinda waste for a big sensor that they equip.

Good phone in general. Always On Display is terrible. It just shows clock, battery, date and missed calls. Not even messages and not 3rd party apps like Whatapp or Facebook messenger. AOD is almost useless

SharingMan

Huawei P20 PRO are really a very very GOOD phone. As I am SONY Fan Smartphone... but this Huawei P20 / 20PRO nearly break my Loyalty. It's really a waste of technology that Huawei Just miss an very very important issue about the PHONE tech as it have mention it's for Professional. THE MOST Important miss-out was "MEMORY CARD SLOT". Is that that new Era not any changes in demand but it's the Smartphone are build for Professional Photographer which must think of NEED's. If the unit have an upgrade/Extended MEMORY SLOT, as my opinion that HUAWEI really kill the market technology. When the unit are build for professional which very sure Memory Slot are require. There in the Technology Industries which NON of the electronic product can GUARANTEE the Re liabilities of their creation. If happen the unit was so great as Consumer sure will use for 90% capture photo. What happen if the photo capture was store internal storage as the unit fail to function. It will make more disappointment on the person as know time / environment cannot be recall. It will be different as say the unit fail to function , consumer still can retrieve the Memory card and get the most value photo they have capture to be save to another location. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT and BELIEVE IS OVERLOOK features. SAD of such small features that been remove from the Unit.

Does it have equalizer in music so that i can listen bass song. I find some Huawei like mid range phone don't have equalizer.

zeeshu007

Few problems I face on my P20 Pro are: 1. No MiscroSD card slot 2. No OIS in 4k Videos 3. No 3mm Audio Jack 4. Previous Gen Processor Kirin970 (Snapdragon 845 would have been better) All other things are just fine. :)

Shui8

Nahhh that is just your opinion, people buy it for one main reason, camera. And its one of the best right now (if u know how to do it). Low lights shots and Night Mod from this P20 Pro camera are unbeatable right now. What? Wait for Pixel 3 to destroy it? By that time, Mate 20 will come out as well with improved camera, using high performance Kirin 980 that Snapdragon doesnt have an answer yet. Bye.

Why offer single or double but not hybrid sim, so no memory expansion. The p20 lite can store have more storage for ~$60 retail ridiculous to offer dual sim but not hybrid, or single and not a micro sd slot has well.

ohmy

how durable is this phone?lol lack of 4k ois for price range nah and from a chinese company using chinese materials. i will just buy other brands out there. the 40mp is a not good as in past 5-6 years ago. i suggest to those people who wants to buy this think twice. save money

it is better to buy other brands and model than this one. its shame that i attrack by its 40mp but its expectation vs reality. its the only 40mp that its look like your wear make ups and photos like uses to much effects to it. its no natural. its killing my eyes.

Totally! It's always nice to try out different products. And this phone is a beast. It's called the Apple of Android, and it improves on every aspect of iPhones except for notch design, one handed use, software, and a few other niggles and annoyances. But otherwise, you get a solid phone for a good price. Try it out and if you don't like it, you could always go back to IPhone or try out cleaner builds of Android.

Walter C. Dornez

Honestly, while I do like Sony, I just don't get why they bring fuel to the fire of hate on Sony by doing that in unrelated articles. Like, dude, you trying to kill the little popularity they have left and be given a worse reputation than Apple Sheep?

1. Turn off your location information (GPS). This consumes a lot of battery. 2. Settings > Apps & Notifications > Enable only what apps you mostly needed. 3. Settings > Display > Brightness click Automatic 4. Settings > Display > Sleep > Set it to 15 secs inactivity 5. Make sure that your Bluetooth, Mobile Data, Wifi were all turned off whenever you are not using them. 6. Settings > Battery > Screen Resolution > Set it to Smart 7. Settings > Battery > App Launch > Select only those Apps you needed most 8. Make sure you always Clean up your phone > Phone Manager > Optimize and Clean Up 9. Phone Manager > Click the icon % Battery Remaining > Optimize Battery Usage 10. Turn off ringing & Notifications vibrations (if you don't need it most).

This phone is very good and exceptional except one major problem and that's expandable micro SD card slot. If you compare this phone with Huawei Mate RS Porsche Design, you will realize what I am saying, though there are some other exceptional features as well. I can buy 128/256 GB micro SD card at a much lower price than compared to the built-in storage of this phone.

Just like shoes,socks and even glasses these items are not tailor made just like smartphones. Every human is different right? so how can you expect phone or Laptops to be the same or high powered devices. End of the day i think up coming smartphones should have a cooling system like laptops,gaming consoles and Pc. To the subject The HUAWEI P20 PRO 1.Top NOTCH cameras 2. Superb Battery life span 3.Crazy download (no heating up) 4.No apps closing/crashing 5.DSLR PHOTOS I have used android back in the days and i can say they lacked for years since then apple took place, but now once again android has come a long way and slowly but surley.

jamil

i used the following iphones: 3 ** 3g *** 4 **** 5 *** 6 **** 6s plus **** 7 plus **** still Apple is wack they are terrible they have apps crashing and closing they spy on you,(i was talking to agent and soon after some of my apps were not working) no freedom of customization. They make their phones that will last you max 3-5 years. You talk about Apple many hidden things we can see but we ignore like to logo looks like and apple bitten actually there's a phone hidden. Anyway i have had it with them they are simply rubbish and they control your paid device, if you don't believe all this then you are sleeping. 1. Company controls your device 2. Company records every comversation you have with SIRI (iris=eye=one-eye=illumaniti) 3. Siri is terrible 4. Face id your must rotate your head like a fool and slow 5. Rubbish updates 6. Rubbish battery 7. they control everything on your phone (battery) 8. They track your location Im not bashing Apple but trust me they are collecting human information and personally i dont want my phone company doing that

jamil

Hey bro, You shouldn't go by what people say about the world greatest camera phone, yes there's a lot of competition in the industry. 1.Supreme camera 2.Amazing battery life 3.Games and apps run smooth what more can people ask for? The simple answer DSLR CAMERA AND AMAZING BATTERY thats all im gonna say

Yeah yeah deep fake reviews u made. Please use 10mp supersample resolution in camera settings. Turn off Master AI for more natural and best results. Did your 19mp Sony camera have 5x hybrid lossless zoom? Can your 19mp Sony camera keep up with P20 pro low lights camera? Did your 19mp Sony camera have blurless handheld 4 seconds Night mode pictures? Can your Sony phone keep up with P20 pro 4000mah battery life? Did your Sony have the amoled screen like P20 pro? Did your Sony system software phone have AI integration features to improve your battery life day by day usage? Care to explain what deep reviews u make for your assumption? Cause its funny.

worst

the worst phone that i buy. i buy 3 of this phone and i deep reviewed it for 2months already, its worst. the 40mp of this its like a 19mp of my sony. to much gaming makes the phone super hot and lags are there. xioami is the best chinese phone maufacturer. like the black shark.

I have it as a daily driver for a month now. I think the phone is great. Works fast in every situation regardless how much multitasking do u do. Cam is great with or without AI turmned on. Battery lasts looong enough. Didn't freeze once and I have ton of apps on it. All i all, I would highly recomend it. And as u said - price is good for this kind of a phone. I dont record much video in 4k, but in 4k stabilization isnt best. But in FHD you can shake it and video recording is still.

Huawei video apps very bad.. Freeze!!! Battery drain so fast

Notch is fine with me, I dont watch a lot of yt videos. But also you have the option to hide to notch. But I dont feel there is a need to upgrade from Mate 10 Pro to P20 Pro for now. P20 Pro have only slightly better night pictures from Mate.

Hi all, I am planning to purchase P20 pro by the end of this month. I just wanna know if there are users here that can give me feedbacks or observations regarding the P20 Pro as their daily driver? Which regards to performance when browsing, multi-tasking, email, whats app, google maps, etc. Because I am an apple user and one reason I wanted to shift with P20 Pro is bcoz of its promising camera quality and speed performance since it says its 6GB Ram. also the multi window option since I always use two app at the same time for work like whatsapp and fb messenger. Plus the price as for flagship is way better than S9+ and Iphone X. Also regarding glitches on google maps? is it true on P20 Pro? Thanks guys in advance.

P20 Pro aren’t an flagship to compare it to other flagship duh.

Go for iPhone 7 Plus for a reasons -Better screen . - Better eco system (OS). -Better support at least 5 years same as iPhone 5S. - For gaming and overall performance there’s no comparison between iPhone A Soc and crappy 970 IPhone 7 Plus a LOT better. - Don’t think so there’s a big different in camera performance might be only still photos will looks a tad better on P20 pro camera other than don’t think so cause video quality of P20 Pro are crap including the front facing camera one of the worst I’ve ever seen. - resale value of android phones in general are bad compare to iPhone except Samsun galaxy and note.

One reason people go for P20 Pro - camera. As for iphone 7 plus, its camera quality the same as my old Honor 8 pro (sometimes even better in low lights) and its half price of the iphone 7 plus. Dont think, P20 pro all the way.

I'm using hwawei p20 pro.. Well for me it's not that great..

You obviously don't know what you're talking about. More megapixels doesn't mean it makes better photo's. The Pixel 2 XL still takes just as good if not better photo's than the Huawei P20 Pro with only 12 MP. I'm not saying that the Huawei P20 Pro makes bad photo's but you're argument is just flawed. Unless you want to make canvas sized photo's or do a lot of cropping then the 40 mp is a bit of an overkill but a nice extra none the less.

Mjed

I bought one week ago and I hated it because it was a lot slow especially when opening applications explicitly, medium price phones are much better as performance 😠😠😠

P20pro is the only smartphone with camera of 40MP at the moment and ofcourse is better then ani other phone at the market. Number of MP makes difference, others companies are just bullshiting that don't make a difference because they don't have phone with such good camera as P20pro. Marketing bullshit

Yes, the capitalist market needs a lot of ignorant sheep consumers who can be brainwashed with advertisements (including paid reviews) and will spend their money on useless things. I said the truth, which you don't accept because it hurts you. P10 is a typical useless fashion phone.

This phone's camera has the German Leica lens (Carl Zeiss), which is the highest in all lenses ever!! I just got my 4 P20 Pro phones and the images are absolutely gorgeous and the camera is fantastic! I am certain that this phone is currently the best ever smartphone on the market and I have used more than a dozen phones in the last 8 years - from iPhone to HTC, LG, Sony, Samsung, etc.

Been waiting for Nokia 9, but havent heard anything on it for a long time. So settled with p20 pro. Best camera got me.

However, I am honestly disappointed with the battery 🙄 fully charged, all the app closed, no notifications allowed, etc. A phone with a battery of4000mA last less than 24 hours with a moderate use like: checking emails, reading news. Another thing I found it very strange is when using the phone to read news, emails, or Instagram the phone gets very warm. Same story with a previous Huawei,P9. Does any of you have the same issue?

Oops, sorry. Looks like I got the wrong rumors. Btw, thanks.

Lickely u can feintal most of huawei prentaled apps,if u perform factory reset once- they ll be back again,but u can always deinstal them.

Were you running when you were taking those photos? I got all the best shots ever on a Smartphone with the P20 Pro. Are you familiar with stabilizer? Also, it has manual mode if AUTOMATIC does not work for you...I doubt you have one O.O

And size of the screen - juat go and buy bigger phone if thia one ia too small :) it is what it is. 6.1 is is same on all phones

Shui8

Lol are u even sure u got the original set?

SpeedDemon250

I got my Huawei P20 Pro a few weeks ago and since I've had it, I have found it to be exaggerated. The camera is the biggest disappointment with images coming out blurred and grainy, that's unacceptable in my opinion. It's no substitute for a real camera. The screen is also a tad too small.

Yurra

I agree. I uninstalled or blocked half apps on my device. I guess they preinstall bunch of apps because they are paid to do so. Same goes for other brands that have Android. Only google pix comes qith stock - maybe that is googles term. But u just remove / block what u dont want / need and u are good to go.

JamesF

I've got this phone in front of me. With Kirin 980 it would be the fastest phone ever. I hate EMUI. It is as horrible, slow and bloated as Touchwiz. I don't want 20 or so useless Huawei apps. I want stock apps, stock launcher, stock app drawer, stock notifications, stock settings. Only non stock apps should be hardware related like Camera, Dolby Atmos and a video player that handles all the popular codecs. Basically HTC sense is best version of Android along with Motorola near stock version.

Edison657

Huawei is China's top smartphone brand, and it might be at the top position right now, I think it because of its own powerful processor, makes Huawei have a beautiful performance.

wOLfMan

One thing ive noticed..,theres a lot of unusefull and unnecessary system apps installed, that kills the phone memory & performance as well

Hello, how much battery backup you get normally and screen on time etc. please share your experience as I am planning to buy but many say it has battery problems.

Nemaca

I have the P20Pro and the OnePLus 5t and I don't know which I should use as daily driver. I have been having problems with P20Pro bluetooth being slow. OnePLus is still blazing fast. I love OnePLus fluidity, but don;t wanna give up P20pro cameras and P67. Any ideas!?

I often use GPS on Huawei P20 pro. No problems at all. All works fine. And the battery is the beast. :) I am really satisfied with this GSM. This is my first Huawei phone after many Sony phones.

Yeah. I wouldn't be so sure mate. Vodafone UK will be selling the Twilight variant as a single SIM option from last week. So it isn't automatically dual SIM.

Anonymous

this phone is brand new, people are buying it mainly for its triple cameras, do you think it's necessary (and funny) to root such a phone (and loose official firmware support) while thinking rom modders will do a better job at a camera system they have never used on any other phone ? Yes i think so.

Neflictus

No offense, but the camera is pretty bad compared to other flagships. I don't understand the hype.

Amisha

40 MP ....Lyk really

Shui8

Lol u can root the phone without unlock the bootloader, bare in mind for that differences... Unlock bootloader only useful so that u can use custom kernel and custom based rom. As for me, emui is good enough, lots of customisation when people calls it with ugly icon (dude, there are hundreds huawei themes with many icons ui can be selected) really cant understand why people hates it. Also install nova launcher if u dont like it. Yeah, i used to root and unlocked bootloader my previous older phones and plays with it, but not with emui, i rather stay with stock. And that triple camera setup, only stock huawei's rom can fully utilised it while custom or 3rd party app only uses the single rgb sensor. So yeah, go figure.

Alien

Huawei stopped the bootloader unlock service on their website! If you have a Huawei phone, you can say goodbye to root! One more reason not to buy spying replika brands like Huawei..

Amir

Is bettet waiting and buy mate model beaucas its weak than the mates model

Yurra

Is it enough for what? ;) it's like asking "does it have battery? Is it enough?" It depends what u need, what u do with data, how u store it etc. For normal use, it is more than enough. If u wanna backup last 5 years of your life, than u need extra storage ;)

sadikyalcin

Twilight is automatically dual SIM. The others aren't, there are single and dual.

Shui8

Its because of the triple camera system makes it champion. 5x hybrid zoom, unbeatable night shot pictures, and yes, its oversharp. Turns off master AI, sharpness becomes acceptable with a very good dynamic range image.

There is a good glass protection btw. If it does't strictly say last gen gorilla, that doesn't mean that it isn't gorilla or any other strong glass. And any phone regardless ofbrand gets slowerby time. Apple, Huawei, Samsung etc. New OS, bloatware and simillar stuff makes any phone slower ;)

If I'm not wrong, u get stabilization on 1080p, onlz on 4k doesnt work.

Sikhar1212

Hello, guys a request for all users please let me know how much battery backup you get average and how much time it takes to fully charged...as in normal use like 4 hours of music 3 hours of screen of time bluetooth, wifi and data mostly off but alwas distplays is on, 2 hours of talk time my phone lasted 38 hours and my bundled quick charger takes about 2 hours 20 minutes to fully charge it so I applied for a replacement. So are these normal or i really had a faulty phone?

Hey, I am searching about Huawei P20 Pro vs S9+. I am impressed Huawei's still images! Except headphone jack, i may think p20 pro. BUT i see there's no stabilization on 1080p 60fps. I dont really use 4k but HOW can not be 1080-60? I want to ask a big question. Can Huawei fix this stabilization thing with a software update? Or is it cannot changeable?

It’s been a long time since a phone of the Huawei P20 Pro’s quality came along to upset the Apple-Samsung duopoly we’ve all gotten used to. Having experienced its amazing triple lens camera, shimmering design and heavyweight performance for a fortnight now, I’m convinced it’s the best new phone of the year so far. When so many handsets offer pretty much the same thing right now, the P20 Pro deserves credit for doing a little bit more for less of your money. It’s the first Huawei handset to offer quality through and through. Sure, some software-related rough edges remain but they’re tolerable at worst and totally eradicable if you have the know-how. Striking just the right balance between borrowed inspiration and genuine innovation, the Huawei P20 Pro is a telephonic and low light king when it come to the camera. My friends who have Galaxy Samsung S9+ and Apple Iphone X where amazed by my superior P20 Pro camera in telephonic and low light. Follow this link for professional camera tests results of this phones,

kelvin

guys, im thinking of getting the P20 pro, but i've heard that there's problem with front facing camera where the camera function hangs when you take a selfie with more than 6 person in the photo. other than that, has anyone else met any other kind of problem after use? Thanks in advance.

If you are into gaming, better go with Snapdragon. It will never fail you

RC

already bought and used it! HYPE in short. It seems that you contented on no Jack, well for me its no good. Better check some apple they include what protection included. You are paying $900 of course the protection should be top of the line. Some people does not have PC or laptop/of course more storage less hassle/I traded it with my brother to his mate 10. LOL

RC

I got the S9+ pre order made by my telecom here. Since it is for recontract from my S7 flat 2 years. I upgraded to S9+ 128gb and am still using it till now. You will not see the difference in terms of speed but wait for 1 or 2 year or applications that you use is demanding. Exynos has really improved expect since the S5. Also the GPU of S9+ beat the last generation of Kirin 970. also from the camera P20 pro "HYPE" for the price

Will it get lagged after long term use? Like most android phones? Because im worried it will be lag. Like iphone is good because it wont lag easily.

Why not a 256GB version? It's 2018. The only reason I'm not buying this phone is that 128GB might be less if you shoot 4k etc. A verision with 256GB should also come out.

Every phone will heat up. On my P20 Pro every game seems fine. I play Pubg mobile on regular basis, no lags, no unusual heating problems. But I have to say this: P20 Pro is the best phone I have ever possessed but hardwarewise, Galaxy S9 slightly has a better CPU. If you are looking for GPU and CPU speed then go for an S9. If you are looking for Overall, I can safely say P20 Pro is the best phone in the market.

PLEASE BUY THE PHONE FIRST BEFORE YOU COMMENT NERDS. I'm a huawei phone user since P8. ( P8, P9 plus, P10, P10 plus, P20 pro). I assure you the are all great phones in their era. Can I comment? 1st, they (NERDS) CONS: 1. Ok no 3.5mm jack ( they provide the adapter AND the type C headset - what do you need more? 2. No wireless charging ( they provide their own charging tech that can charge your 4000mAh phone in JUST 1.5hrs. IF you don't want that I'll laugh at you any moment. 3. NO GORILLA GLASS ( Its only unspecified just like the a.p.p.l.e. but there's the protrction - if you'll use this as your daily driver, p20 pro can give you that no doubt. And as if any of us will not buy a phone protrection. And hey they give u a nice phone bumper btw. 3. No expandable storage (yeah I know it sucks like a.p.p.l.e, my 128gb stays on p10+... BUT hey you can seemlessly transfer files to your pc nowadays, use otg dongle, the cloud, etc. You purchase a $900 phone and yet you cant think of ways to transfer you files without a hassle?? Ahaha. 4. Optical stab in video (ok im not sure of this but I always use FHD 60fps and Im ok with that, whats important to me is that i can record moments, and i know i can handle my phone properly, bring tripod everyday so it will not shake ahahaha). 5. Design (they always file patents and designs fiest before launching ans they passed. And if your talking about ressemblance, please dont look the X phone didn't copy the notch in L.G or essential phone first or the great great grand smsrtphones way back 2004 - the thing is their other notches have other use/sensors and if you dont know whst they are putting there and you only think that its only blocking your visuals and i suggedt find other phone and dont critisize. Thats not your prrference phone. Period. The pros? Well so many of them but ill give some in reference for other nerds. 1. Camera - if you are nerdy pls read the review in dxomark 2. Battery charging - please read 3. OS/skin/ whatever - please read 4. Reviews - see gsmarena ahahaa. Or others if your not contented geesh. Im not that techie person but overall all phones are capable... Its just that the p20 pro step up more in photography. :) With added features that can make it a flagship phone ( if were on the same understsnding). Kudos.

Yurra

Interesting how you seem to like S9+ over any other phone as "better allrounder", but you stated that you use your brothers Huawei Mate10 that you switched form Huawei P20 Pro. Did you actually use S9+ for a while?? I am wandering how did you conclude that it is "better allrouder"? Maybe you are right but I didn't see that much of a difference between the two that I could say one is strictly better that the other. AI can be switched off on P20pro so over saturation that you mentioned isn't a real problem. Regarding Kirin 970, both P20pro that you had and Mate10pro that you use now have it. What is the problem with it? I see that it has lower clock speed than Snapdragon, but I think that you can see real difference only in large amount of multitasking, and it would be measured in seconds if not milliseconds. And not to forget not all S9 come with Snapdragon, some have Exynos depending on the market. Anyway, I still think that it is personal preference, both phones are great (like Ferrari vs Lamborghini ;)). And I know that can be scary to see phone bend on youtube :D but if you sit with all your weight on both phones, probably both will bend - P20pro a bit more ;) Same goes for scratching - pocket change wont scratch any phone, but sharp metal or sand will scratch both. Cheers

ex- iPhone X

Huawei drawn my attention. Nice looking, interesting cameras. But, Samsung S9+ takes a clear edge in my opinion. Video stabilization IS WAY BETTER and I couldn'y use Huawei in same way as S9+. Fast wireless charging in S9+ is perfect. Sound in stereo with Dolby system is way more advanced. Quality of sound and conventional headphones input (AKG earplugs are top notch) again is clear advantage. Super AMOLED on Samsung is simply the best display in the industry. Period. It has faster processors. Additional micro SD card (combined slot) of 400 GB seals the choice. Also, protection seems more solid on S9+ Design wise S9+ still sits on the very top, although nothing to complain on Huawei. Can I trust Huawei more than Samsung ? I don't know, Huawei si big company, but it is not such strong brand as Samsung. Somehow I would trust Samsung more, in general. I do not see any single advantag of Huawei over current android leading device. Talking as Apple guy for years, I do not care for names, but for whole package.

Cool

Can someone please install telegram app in Huawei P20 pro and can you please check does the app sync with the existing contacts in Huawei P20 pro?

RC

I know it can turn off but the processing is to much. Try that on your PC you will the difference =) the 40MP RGB is good but like in lumia and N 808, I can peak someone how far they are. Hahaha. Still for all rounder, I will go to S9 plus. Also the dongle on jack in usb type C. annoying haha. I have bluetooth that last me 4 hrs, but it is not enough

well,you can turn off the AI in camera if u dont want saturated images. and AI is not just for camera,it has lots of other advantages also.

rc

Well try to use both phone rather than asking your co work regarding S9 plus. I have both of these phone S9 plus and P20 pro. Let me tell you about the bend test, purpose of that is for accident, when you accidental sit on your phone, wearing tight jeans or phone was under your back while sleeping. You cant tell what accident happen, that's why durability comes first. Also AI produce over saturated, if you ask me. Well some peope love over saturated photo go ahead. And you miss that the processing is more latest on S9 plus rather than Kirin 970. That's why I gave my P20 pro to my brother and use his Mate 10.

AnonD-757304

Al last, someone understands. Cheers

Yurra

It is funny how people ask: "S9+ or P20 pro - please help me" :D. If you look at almost any flagship today, all are very similar and on the other hand worlds apart. I work at IT company and we are changing mobile phones twice a year so I had the privilage to test a bunch of phones. - Samsung and Huawei as well. I personaly have Huawei P10 and Huawei P20 as my daily drivers and I love the brand, design and overall how they handle. More of my coleagues use Samsung S8 / S9 and phones are fantastic as well. So it comes to your personal perferences. It dosent matter what kind of glass is on the phone because glass is very good. On paper Gorilla is better but that doesnt mean stock glass isnt great. Yes, S8 / S9 have "best" screens on the market but when you use both P20 pro and S9, you really don't see that much of a difference (maybe small whent brightness is at the max). I am not photographer and I use auto filters and photos are very much alike - I personally in 8 out of 10 can't tell difference between 2 cameras. On youtube you can se that 4k video shakes a bit on P20 pro. I am a big fan of Huaweis EMUI and its "learning" capabilities and how phone gets automatical after few weeks of use. I chose P20 pro because i think its georgeous! Twilight just looks great. It has large battery so i can watch youtube all day long, listen to music, surf etc. Like any new allglass phone you have to take care of it but it isnt made uot of paper so don't worry :D As for youtube bend video - no one in its right ming wouldn't apply so much preasure on a phone to reach its breaking point just for fun so chances of you bending your phone accidently in everyday use is 0%. So if you like P20 pro, just buy one - it is great phone, looks cool, feels great, great battery and great camera. If you need really specific stuff like constantly shooting 4k video, and overall perfer S9 design - go for other one. All other differences are marginal. Cheers

AnonD-757304

You are just an another MKBHD fan....lol

AnonD-757304

Battery & Camera wise P20 pro is far better. Long term performence is a draw. Galaxy's design is unique & better. However, video camera on Galaxy is far better if you want 4K. Both of them has Stereo speaker & Dolby atmos support. Screen on Galaxy is the best on market. So, choose your priorities first, then decide.

SNK

Surprised to know that Huawei didn’t mentioned wat kind of screen protection they have used. Jerryrig bend test broke the front glass of Huawei p20pro so sad ,such an expensive fone and no gorilla glass 5? I had made up my mind to go for Huawei P20 Pro but it’s hard for me to handle such a delicate fone. Anyways it’s my personnel opinion. Below are major reasons to buy Huawei P20 Pro. Camera is excellent(results are bit closer to google pixel 2xl). Performance is fine too. Battery is simply superb.

I'm surprised how many people think that P20 Pro didn't pass (technically it did, but you know what I mean) the bend test due to lack of Gorilla Glass. Well me tell you this, simply THAT'S NOT EVEN CLOSE TO BE TRUE. Huawei didn't advertise Mate 10 Pro uses Gorilla Glass yet it passed the test with flying colors. It bent and cracked because the actual structural frame around the phone is weak. End of story.

Things Huawei Lacks 1> Optical Image Stabilization for the video cam. 2> Corning Gorilla Glass protection for the screen 3> 3.5mm Headphone Jack 4> Expandable Storage 5> Original design And they want you to pay 900$ for it...

Salah

It does not have a gorilla glass. It has a normal tempered glass layer over the screen instead. Watch the JerryRigEverything Scratch, burn and bend test of the p20 pro and you'll find out what a joke from Huawei it is. I mean, the phone is good and brings you some pretty unique (Like Triple camera that currently offers the best still images on the market, and one of the fastest face unlock based on front camera or even the revolutionary pain jobs it introduced) features but the build quality is not even comparable to the S9+, LGV30S ThinQ, Sony Xperia XZ2 and Iphone X or 8. In other words: It's not worth the price, it should be less expensive.

If enough with your budget, go for P20 pro. Its low lights camera capabilities is unbeatable. To save your budget even more, go get regular Mate 10, same performance, camera better on P20 pro side, camera still good annndddd, got headphone jack along with no notch. Its $600 now.

What to choose between Samsung galaxy s9+, Samsung galaxy note 8,and this thing p20 pro, I never use Huawei phones neither use iPhone although IPhone X also could be considered, but never use ios so don't know about experience, But it's first time that any Huawei phone P20 pro is tempting me, Any suggestions... Thanks

Razor

The camera is one of the best I have seen on a mobile phone. However the phone is just having to much lag, stutter, which spoils the experience and this is a flashship phone. My old note5 works way smoother than this. It feels the OS is not fully optimised. Hope they will improve the firmware. I am getting frustrated

No Gorilla glass! P series doesn't have special glass. They are only using tempered glass.

I phone up Huawei myself to ask it the Huawei p20 pro had got grilla glass they couldn't tell if it had or not and they didn't know themselves what do you make of that will I couldn't believe that so arcade still in the dark about the grilla glass

AnonD-756350

Absolutely right! Most of the Huawei Honor product are having in house Gorilla glass covered which gives equal/better safety than other usual gorilla glass mobiles. Huawei product are far better and good in performance. Happy to be a part of the "Huawei Family". :-)

Gorilla glass is not the only company which manufactures protective glasses. There are other also like asahi. In p20pro i think huawei has used in house manufactured glass which would also provide protection like gorilla glass

My Y7 Prime has also this default beautification mode but it's more trash than P20 Pro. I don't use FFCs anyways, cause the rear camera is much more useful in all situations and memories to capture. Anyways, why did you sell your Mate 10 Pro? It was more durable than P20 Pro?

Geric.770

Only Mate 10 was built perfectly from Huawei with total protection. P20 Pro? Glass breaks after he bended the phone. Tsk.

bimbo

yeah cos phones are built to be hit with a hammer

Sze

just got this phone after selling my mate 10 pro. By now you all know the main features of this phone. i am not going to waste time repeating it. My findings are 1) Front camera is pathetic. Always takes way too bright and soft (waxy skin) photos. However you can edit the pic and increase the "PoP" setting, it instantly brings back all the lost details... i hope Huawei makes this setting as 0 Beautification by default. 2) the wallpaper i see with different ink like colour spread around is not in the phone. I paid almost $350 + mate 10 pro to get this phone.... if given a chance again, i would not do it... simply because its really not all that worth.. But a really good try by Huawei.. keep it up guys

Well

Camera department... Huawei wins I own both lol

Just wanted to say that i finally received my twilight unit early this week and i like this phone. Feels really like a flagship between display quality and brightness (colors and temperature can be adjusted to your likes), body material, design, responsiveness, sound quality, lte network speed and a real 2 full days battery's life. I have yet to test thorougly camera but so far the 2 or 3 random shots i took were looking great with its AI assistance. Watching videos or listening to music on its speakers feel great. (they are powerful, a bit like htc i guess). I highly recommend it to anyone willing a great flagship currently. Maybe this will force Samsung to wake up for S10 next year (or not). Kudos to Huawei !

Here is the comparisson between Huawei P20 pro vs Nokia 808 Pureview

SG154

After searching a lot of phones flagships finally decided to go for this one. Not for camera as primary but there many reasons as a office worker definitely needed a front fingerprint as easy to see messages or notifications without lifting the phone from table. Just press fromt finger sensor and see notifications messages etc. Ir blaster is definite search for me as I controll tv,ac,dth and even my dslr camera. And a powerful battery that can last at least 2 days with normal uses. Then camera as in day to day life this camera looks perfect specially in low light. These are main need and others can be bonus.

Actually there are ppl like me who care, I keep my media on cloud ofc... But in terms of apps i cant just put them on cloud on an external device i need phone memory... Lets say that i have over 250 apps on my 64GB device... its true that i dont use 60% of them more than once per week... but when i need them it takes too long to download again, delete something else... and it needs a lot of data usage than :D But. 128GB is outstanding for one mobile device, guys here simply dont remember 2014 and 8-16GB and all that memory mess mixed with lags and bugs.. Wake up ppl, Android is still far than perfect but it became better than IOS

The only issue with this camera comparison page is that they only use the 40MP option fro thr P20 Pro - even better results would be obtained using the 10MP mode so all three lenses come into play

Halfmoon

I like the design & Camera quality.. but no headphone jack & SD card slot.. this is the main disadvantage for this model..

Jobiwan

OK... so bought one based on the reviews on Youtube Main reasons were battery life and camera - they are the 2 most important things to me. Camera is INSANE - esp. if you delve into Pro mode (ignore the AI modes they just push particular colour saturations) - Low light photography is magic - NOTHING else on any other smartphones comes close! AI in the interface and lower screen resolution makes general usage as fast as any Snapdragon 845 powered phone - but games are (slighter) better on the others. Screen is good - not exceptional Sound likewise EMUI is growing on me - GREAT customisations Notch really does not detract from usage - you get used to it real quick. Build quality and looks are phenomenal (went for midnight blue) The BIGGEST kicker though was the price and deals available in NZ - $300 cheaper than an S9+ ($1200 vs $1500) AND a FREE pair of Sennheiser PXC550's + a FREE UE Wonderboom (total worth $670) - just too good to pass up.

P20 pro 40 mp (10 mp real) in low light is disaster. Don't compaire any phone with xz2 in case of camera because you will be shocked really. S9 better than p20 pro and faster also.

And the hate continues when will guys like you stop being on denial and accept the fact that P20pro is just superior than that s9+ of yours???!!!

Mark

Is the $g bands the same as the mate 10 pro for this phone? I hate it when a flagship phone dont offer all bands available for different countries.

Imperator Neubaticus

S9+ definitely. Its camera setup is something that's as good as the triple cam gimmick of the huawei p20 pro. It's all just good in numbers, but in actual application, there's nothing significantly innovative about it outside of its ai capabilities. You're not even going to use the 40mp mode whose shutter speed is impractically slow. That's why the default is set at 10mp. Waste of hardware or just another cleverly sugarcoated reason to tout a ridiculous price? I say both. You're actually better off with an 808 pureview from the nokia of old if you really care about phone cameras. And emui is ugly, cartoonish, and just plain boring. Unlike the samsung experience ui of the recent samsung flagships (nothing like the laggy touchwiz it thankfully replaced). And even though the 2018 exynos is rather less efficient and powerful than the 2017 versions, the s9 and s9+ which it powers still have a pretty respectable battery life. Not stellar admittedly but far from terrible.

Pricey

while I think this is a fantastic device but you should still go for the Samsung S9+. It's Dual camera is at par with Huawei triple cam setup. Kririn 970 is still behind Snap 845 or the exynos 9810. The front fingerprint reader is the only reason to pick this over the s9+.

King Jay Kay

Well brother the thing is that built in storage of mobile are always fast as compared to SD card in general and obviously Y5 is kind of entry level mobile so it's hardware is meant for day to day task now thing is what kind of SD card your mom is using and what's the read write speed on it secondly the hardware of mobile must be capable enough to catch up with the speed of memory card But according to my experience I had used this mobile for a while and it does lag after some time so it's hardware issue but still you need to check your SD card on safer side that either it's damage or not

ChiL

I have phone that my Mom uses from time to time Y5 2017 it lags when she uses her SD Card is that normal?

King Jay Kay

Well virus and other problems are software based my friend but I will try to guide you through it You can transfer your media to any other source and then simply format each and every thing and restart your device from the scratch it is a painful process but totally free, use your desktop or laptop to back up your media and contacts messages can be backed up to Gmail account Now about the speed and lag issue so I would like to ask you something if you buy the most powerful computer machine and keep it switched on for months without shutting it down for a second it will also effect it performance and speed and actual screen visible lag in day to day performance, so how can you expect not to from a palm sized machine which we use like donkeys My advice is set auto switch off and switch on timing on your mobile As it's there in settings menu for just ten mins in late night or early morning so that your mobile.sgouod breath as well and if you don't have such settings in your specific model then try to get a free app from Google play store Never install apks from third parties or unsecure sources because they are not verified and are more prone to viruses Try to hold back the apps you don't use frequently and don't allow background access to them from settings because in iOS system background run is very strict while in android there is more usability but it comes with cost Clear your apps cache off and on because for me example install Facebook and check it's size after a month it will be huge And you can do all of this once a week when you just go through storage and memory and delete scrap and extra pics or mails etc If you think.you will just jump up into a mobile and then you will always have same performance then you are wrong it's a machine and it also requires maintenance but that will cost your time and a bit extra efforts. Peace

Hi Nelson I use a combination of MP3, FLAC and hi Res FLAC. I have never used Bluetooth headphones as I am awaiting delivery of my first set so hopefully very soon. The phone is a flagship and general most high end phones have 5.0, at £799 I hope to keep the P20 pro two to three years, the question for me is will it become an issue and have they included hardware for future firmware update. Also unfortunately have to limit FLAC files especially hi-res due to not having a micro SD slot. Can't moan as I knew this when I ordered.

AnonD-748140

There is what the ecosystem of market revolves. Someone sells and someone has to buy it is either expensive or cheap it does not matter. So there is no problem to people who tend to buy a very expensive thing like new launched phone and etc because the market just need them to keep them rolling. Instead of giving thoughtful thoughts, you mislead because of your personal orientation. We need open mind no political inclination a pure opinion because unarguably P10 plus is currently at the tip of the phone industry.

Lolzzzz I can't stop myself luaghed over people who are saying that they need removable batteries My dear fellows now SOCs work on 10nm structure and soon there will be 7nm based SOCs which are way friendly with power consumption If your mobile Screen on time is below 4 hours then we can understand but if it's above 6 and in this particular case it's touching 7 hours or near to it then you don't need any spare battery at all Secondly I will always go with a better battery performance rather than fooling myself with removable batteries that last just for 3 hours or a bit above that and then again charging is so ridiculously fats on this thing that we don't need removable batteries at all with Huawei super charge and winning combination of 4000 mah battery Now I would like to tell some thing to this site reviewer as well they always argue about the Camera app in mobiles other than apple and Google and they say iPhone app and Pixel app is bla bla bla simple and at the same time they wish that iOS 1# should bring manual mode to their app and about Pixel they have same kind of feeling Now thing is when you had packed so much hardware in the Camera you need supporting software for it as well, and the options can't be displayed on the screen for every feature other wise there would be nothing in view finder apart from icon and their functions that's why it's a bit complicated and I will take optimistic approach and will say it's feature rich app with plenty of features but if you don't want it then auto mode is always there, that's it Now getting back to our multi talented reviewers commenting here so for you guys now smartphone market is jam packed we get almost 2 to 3 flagship cycles from almost 10 OEMs so better buy any of the flagship and it will serve you more than satisfactory way but And a huge but as far as current breed of mobiles are concerned this thing is a pinnacle yet to be answered. Peace from UAE

What a shame Huawei did not include either a micro SD card support or headphone jack. Noted on lots of reviews. It really would have been there on top of the pile for the money if they had included them. Just typing this on the P20 pro and it really is great. However what is not mentioned alot is the lack of Bluetooth 5. Is this going to be an issue over time and is this phone going to get updated in the future? Thinking HTC 11, that did received the Bluetooth update as the hardware was there!

Had the phone only a few days now, but so far so good. back of case feels grippy in hand and unlikely to slip/fall. However, the flip side of this is its always covered in fingerprints and needing cleaned. Box comes with USBC cable/plug also USBC/3.5mm adapted the best surprise was the usbc headphones in the box, super. UK buyers also get to claim back free wireless headphones , so will see if they arrive once claimed. Overall a good start from Huawei after the disaster that was a Moto-Z only lasted 11 months before dying, with awful support from Motorola, still trying to get my refund paid, 13 weeks after sending them my phone.

All battery has to be put into the phone, so that means it can be taken out too. Learn how to open up the phone and change it. I have changed it on several phones now, my current phone is 3 years old, battery performance is still the same. Maybe it does not overcharge and hence such long lasting.

Okay okay I got it I don't understand what does people want if you want everything then go with Samsung because S9 plus is only device that ticks every every box like literally every box But i can see such silly comments that I can't stop my self to answer them once and for all Thing is this phone is just perfect people are saying no expansion and headphone jack dedicated one , since how many time you had used your phone while charging it and listening to music and if you are so much I to music that can't stop your self for just 15 mins then you must be an audiophile and I don't think so you don't have Bluetooth head gears Secondly just name a single OEM that provides so generous headphones that you don't need proper high end head gears, like seriously I don't understand what's wrong with you all who are complaining it's 2018 now things are going towards minimalist edge, just see the screen to body ratios and other stuff About notch so apple used it from essential phone and provided us with face id which they claim is more secure than touch id which I don't want to argue with cause they better know their tech but purpose of face id is to unlock phone and authorise access for payments etc and in this phone you have way fast face unlocking and for security measures you already have tried and tested always active touch id, and no one complained it before about apples touch Id even.though it was also a bit stretch to use. As far as wireless charging is concerned so you get 17% charge with 30 mins charge on iPhone and 20 25% with Samsung and this thing charges to 58% within half hour which is good and bad at the same time but practically it's better option because the massive battery will serve you better and you won't need to charge it within the day and if you want to charge it then means either you don't leave your mobile for a second away using it or you.missed to charge it at first Now getting to cameras like again seriously people don't know any thing about cameras and start complaining again in day light nowadays every single flagship will do the job of any OEM it's the night photography where mobiles cameras struggle and they solved it for you yes front facing camera is on softer side and no AIS on 4k is a kind of bummer but still who records stuff normally in 4k it's a gimmick that's all even S9+ limits you to 10 mins max and it needs a hell of space in storage and it's really hard to share as well and 1080p is enough and really it's enough with 60 FPS, when did you saw any movie online in 4k like it doesn't need to suck itself every time What's else i am missing The main focus of the phone is Display which is good Camera which is excellent Battery which is again excellent charging time is among top two i.e Huawei super charge and Oppo Dash charging is fastest in the market storage is decent 128gb is enough storage, platform is Android so you can mess with it in every way, performance wise I can assure you it will last longer than any android mobile except Pixel because I am using mate nine since October 2016 and it is still standing strong, then there is high DAC audio for audiophile who prefer wireless head gears plenty of pixels in cameras and the features and option the camera provide is mile ahead than the competition Design is also good if not the best speakers are great build quality is simple awesome Now it provides plenty of features in hard ware and software that other lacks IR blaster, bigger battery, Fast charging, 3X optical zoom, 40mp main camera which can be used in daylight for pixel peeping, monochrome camera for artistic looks, PC mode, machine learning algorithms, Neural Processing CPU, Audio DAC for wireless, Dual SIM support,128gb bass storage, Stereo Hybrid speakers, fastest Face unlock, front finger print scanner, customisable notch, customisable navigation buttons, organic display and list goes on and I can argue every single comment here who are bashing this piece of ART Kudos to Huawei for bringing this game changer and those who does not know any thing about technology please go away reviews are expert opinions by experts for above average users rest average consumer just see his pocket and buy among two brands that's Samsung and iPhone but this time P20 pro is here and showing a massive middle FINGER to other OEMS that how one can bring balance between software and hardware without breaking a sweat.

Nice phone but a massive flaw. NON REMOVABLE BATTERY kills it for me aha! Also, price a ripoff. Should cost about £250! I will stick with my LG V20 removable battery phone for £150 thank you!

No doubt the battery size iPhone is smaller, but at least it have qi charging on board where u can charger & listen at the same time. Like it or not, Huawei seriously messed up this time.

They don't have to.

Do Apple use 4000mah battery?

"The iPhone X is noticeably more compact with its 143.6 x 70.9mm footprint and it's also 0.1mm slimmer." What are you talking about? 6.1" vs a 5.8" ? Its obvious size will be different. Should have mentioned that when you mention physiques. Of course S9+ with 6.2" should be logically bigger too. But when you compare body ratio and dimension vs screen size and weight ... that's the difference. iPhone X has the worst body vs screen size ratio amongst these 3 models mentioned.

No card slot, no 3.5mm jack, notch display... Come on Huawei, stop blindly follow what apple did. In the end, it clearly shows u r just a follower. If u wanna "force" users to use Bluetooth headset, at least have the qi charging on board. P10+ was a good phone... Perhaps the last good phone...

Cloud you kidding me, I have 2 gig of data a month and I live where there bad 4g etc and that goes for a lot of people so cloud is pointless, need a 3.5 jack so you can listen and charge phone up at the same time and sd card slot just in case phone buggers up and you can just whip out all data saved on your sd card, put all your photo videos and music in the cloud yep that's safe!

dizzy

this had a Radio and 3.5mm jack it would be perfect phone but as usual with every phone out there it falls on its face with something they missed! that people really want!

Read better dude lol, i didt said i wanted a crapy phone (like maybe the one you have) i said some features in this phone are acceptable for the brand standards || more or less this phone its kinda cheep and wouldnt ask for much

People who say things like you are just trying to validate their own purchase that they wasted their money on a not so good phone. The current subject is nothing to do with bluetooth headphones or earphones. If someone saved the money for a high-end phone, why should he be forced to waste even more money on unnecessary things? Moreover, it's wise to wait a half to one year before buying the phone, because the price will be 50% lower. And the CPU and camera of the newest phone is not 50% better (5% is more realistic). And smart people buy factory unlocked phones, without any contract.

If you can afford to buy this phone, means you can of course afford to buy high quality bluetooth head sets of earphones. I have no worries because I know those people that always complains are those people that can't afford to buy.

This is an mazing smartphone, i want to buy one ASAP.

Yes, it has IR blaster (my fault). But it doesn't have FM Radio according to GSMArena's specs. And how could it have FM Radio without 3.5mm jack?! In fact all phones in 2017 and the future are rubbish. Every phone after LG V20 is absolute trash (all brands are included). Unfortunately. (But at least Samsung and LG phones still have some of the important features that are missing from P20 Pro, like FM Radio, 3.5mm jack, SD card slot.)

Hi, Buy a 100 GB google Picture account for a very low price and upload your pictures when connected to WIFI, even automatically can be synced. Then you have all your pictures and movies online wherever you go and can clean your pictures from your mobile device resulting a very clean and a lot of storage on your device always. Meanwhile you can browse between your files and pictures by Google Drive and Google Pictures.

1 camera vs. 3 camera... that's all...

why?

Will

well said ! thank you j4anori !!!

Will

well your opinion doesn't count anyway, so go for it,,,,,

Will

thats why there is cloud, you dont need all these sdcards anymore! because your sdcards are more likely to be corrupted or get lost !

Will

Seriously @ anonymous, you are nitpicking ! you want a card slot on a 128 GB of internal memory? you want removable battery on a 4000mAh battery? NO you obviously don't need this phone, i just wonder what you are using right now? And maybe you will complain as well when you find out that this phone cost over $200.00 ? get a life, not a smart phone, you need it more.

Correction: it has an ir blaster.

The other guy was saying that so i simply believed him. Sorry. I also ran through its specs page on gsma but couldn't find any. So that leaves to only one issue

Anonymous

My opinion in what you see bad on this phone - non-removable battery || Gives you more storage capacity - no SD card slot. || Same, the phone has more storage on its own - curved screen corners || doesn’t affect the performance - glass body || I agree with this one, one fall and good bye phone (the body part not the full phone) - 18.7:9 screen ratio || looks nice, not a big issue - no IR blaster || it does have ir blaster - no 3.5mm jack || yeah sadly - no FM Radio || FM Radio? Seriously? Internet is the jam now cx - no microSD card slot || Same as before, more internal storage, less need for these, even now with cloud storage - single LED flash || The camara is awesome even in the dark, so the LED flash is not that necessary

fatty

when i took video or photo, i always save it in the sdcard. this is important to me i used to save it in the phone and it decided to die. i'd lost a lot of precious photos and videos. I could always buy a new phone, but i am afraid some photos could not re-shoot. my suggestion is to equip yourself with a otg. remember to transfer your images before the phone decided to die on you.

handyfan

what are you talking. There is RI blaster. I am controlling my Sony TV with this phone.

Everything in my list are valid issues. Nothing can justify the removal of the important features and the added new useless dumb things/design.

Anonymous

The only valid issues are lack of ir blaster and 3.5 mm jack. The reason for removing these could be either to provide waterproofing or save space. Non removable batteries also save a lot of space. In this age u dont need sd card slot when ur phone has enough internal storage and better buy cloud. Curved screen,glass body,18.7:9 ratio only enhance the design. And also the effective screen ratio comes down to 18:9 when apps run.

If you’re talking about the P20 Pro then you would be wrong. It does have compatibility for FM Radio; it does have an IR Blaster at the top with a preinstalled app for controlling your tv etc and it has a dual flash with a colour temperature sensor also included to help control white balance. Yes, it doesn’t have a 3.5mm headphone jack but you don’t find many phones other than Samsung and LG which still include that feature which is unfortunate but the P20 Pro does support High Definition Audio Bluetooth and is supplied with a set of USB-C earphones in the box. You can’t technically say this is a rubbish phone because quite frankly, to label this device as rubbish, is to say that every phone (including your mobile device at the moment) is absolute trash when it likely isn’t. It depends on your needs as a consumer but this phone is no worse than anything Samsung, Apple, LG or Google are producing at the moment, and all of them have faults to some degree and won’t necessarily be for every consumer.

SD card slot?

Anonymous

This is a typical today's trendy crap phone. It's a typical useless fashion phone. - non-removable battery - no SD card slot. - curved screen corners - glass body - 18.7:9 screen ratio - no IR blaster - no 3.5mm jack - no FM Radio - no microSD card slot - single LED flash

this is not possible liar .

AnonD-748140

It means drawing apps from sd card slows your system.

fudin

i think there is no need to expanded to external memory cause the internal memory is 128GB

James

Yes, it have.

Mrbeastycakes

So from what you're saying, the sd card gives you the option of keeping your system running smooth? 😂

does p20 pro have private space same as mate 10 pro??

Only thing missing is expandable memory. Otherwise A-1

My friend Jan said its a really good phone very niceeee

AnonD-748140

To keep your phone in an optimal operating performance, you have to keep some significant free space from your internal storage where your operating system resides. So adding more apps will give you an option to install those in you external storage which is in your external memory card which characterized with lower IOPS compared to its build in UFS or EMMC. So, would you please explain to the people how did you say that external memory card cannot affect the performance of your phone. How did i mislead people?

You don't understand? or you really don't know anything?

Anyone of P20 Pro owner here facing issue which night shot in camera menu? As per advertisement that the Night shot is shown in camera main menu, but my night shot is hidden in More?!!

@Tahvo, you gotta be kidding, right? Better Google Edward Snowden. I have no idea how safe Snapdragon or Exynos or MTK processors are. Worse case, you can use firewall app.

The telephoto lens used for zoom has optical image stabilization

AnonD-750998

Exactly, the headphone jack and sd card slot removals are really unnecessary. If the phone has 256GB, i am fine without sd card slot. Sony, Samsung, and LG can have a waterproof phone with headphone jack. Looks like Apple and huawei still don't know how to do it? :D

thi ha

I think the only missing thing is stabilization on video. And I hate that they removed headphone jack and sd card slot. Really unnecessary. I am a Mate 9 user just switched to Note 8. I love Mate 9's cameras.

Geric.770

Yup. There is preinstalled apps mate. Even in their mid range phones, but you can uninstall 'em.

AnonD-744321

not bad not bad at all the camera sounds good and the 40MP main cam reminds me of the pureview days the 5X hybrid ZOOM sounds odd the ZOOM camera isn't that useful without O/EIS or tripod so unless you have rocky hands (or tripod) it is useless (and bokeh which you have three cameras for it) the mono cam is weird since it has tge widest lens which is kind of weird the 40MP camera should have it so you can shot short shutter speed will fully lighting these mini pixels water protection is a great surprise but the "splash protection" on the P20 is gimmicky useless (IP53? most phones have it they just don't know) even IP67 is enough (unless you like diving) the "dual glass sandwich" is another trand Huawei is following (like the notch) but since this is a camera phone you won't use it in heavyduty and the printe job looks AWESOME I don't mind the notch since you can turn it of will still displaying the icons and the AMOLED screen helps a lot at display the notch without losing battery the front finger print looks UGLY and unpractical because it is really hard to hold the phone with one hand to scan the finger (specially with have class and screen size) yes it is fast BUT you have to sweep on the sensor so if someone have %30 much of your fingerprint he can unlock it so full back finger print sensor with water proof coating (like ZTE ZMAX PRO) is MUCH batter and don't forget the size of the "CHIN" :P the chipset is a bit outdated but hi you don't use all thst power don't you? plus it came out after the SD835 and it has AI processor so it isn't that old so for haters you can buy Samsung/Sony/Apple etc... but you can check DxOmark for a prove on the camera proformence ;-)

Very interesting phone but unfortunately there is too much controversy right now to use a Chinese smartphone in the US

Radio? please... welcome to internet.

CptPower

Me too. Having scrollable either side of the notch is funny idea but apart from that its like a creating unfinnished game which needs a lot of work to complete.

CptPower

Well yes. Even thinking that i have a notch brings a headache :-)

mdmark

Radio - no?

Everything is about cloud storage now. SD card slot is old tech that will be going. Also having an old SD card with slow speeds will affect your Smartphone, in fact it will slow down your Smartphone.

AnonD-748140

Agree mate, phone are like televisions design is very limited because its all about the screen that is important. Phone design is obsolete and for me it doesn't matter as long as they look neat well arranged and balanced. I can appreciate them.

AnonD-748140

If there is a proof why its still coming and becoming a giant now. All existing giants are moving at its best to suppress the incoming one. That the real story behind that malware as they call it.

nihal

last year Huawei was speaking about how their phone didn't have a camera hump. this year they have a camera hump. why did they ditch micro SD card?. it would been perfect if it was there. I don't mind the notch. its not as big as iPhone notch. and there is an option to hide it in the settings so its fine for me.
