    I used it nearly over 4 months.
    I have 3 phones.. iPhone XS, Notes 9 and Mate20pro
    experience sharing on Mate20pro
    . Mate20pro every month has new OS upgrades, every upgrade to enhance functions and features
    . latest one includes Quik video editing software - free in mate20pro. it is good to impressive
    . mate20pro, the camera for night shots are amazing good. notes 9 is good for food photos, iPhone XS still fine but not impressive.
    . the video is right, the battery is very long life compared to iPhone XS and Notes 9. plus mate20pro charging is much quicker on wireless charging
    Seriously, you paid big buck on phone. if you need the very very best camera for all purposes then mate20pro is the only option. Someone claimed iPhone XS beats mate20pro on slow motion video. It is not to argue but how often every video that you take is on slow motion? Someone says note9 is good in dim light. my personal experience, I used note5 till note9. I give up on it. the note9 night shot either handshakes (blur), or very coarse (manual mode) - your gf or friends loses temper after you spend at least few times or over 5 minutes to try on pose. With mate20pro, I can take 9 out of 10 shots are excellent photos in couple minutes.
    Hope this useful to everyone.

      I also like my Mate 20 pro but the system is really bad polished and they don't pay attention to details, animations are not consistent, most of the times things just pop up roughly. I'm a loyal Samsung user and decided to try this Huawei, and it feels like using a smartphone from years ago, like Samsung used to be, full of glitches. When I take my Note 8 I really notice how smooth Samsung is now. Also the ram management is really poor for a 6Gb phone. Apart from these minor visual details, the phone is incredibly fast and I hope they spend some time now perfecting and polishing the EMUI.

      @@m.w.4157 I know, I just decided to try something new, since Note 9 didn't seem to add that much difference in my experience. I used iPhone X for 6 months and couldn't get used to iOS but I really missed how good the battery life was and the Face Id, so I decided to give Huawei a try. I'm overall really satisfied because the phone is really fast, battery life is way beyond any smartphone I've ever used, charging speed is impressive, cameras are amazing, 3D scanner works really nice... The phone is a beast, but I really think Samsung is way ahead in consistency and sometimes I miss that.

    The only thing I regret was not picking the glossy black color but twilight is a good second so I'm not too disappointed. Most pictures showed the black one as non-glossy, so I thought it wasn't nearly as good-looking as it in fact is. The other two colors, green and blue, are non-glossy/textured and don't look quite as nice and shiny IMHO but they are good those wanting a less slippery phone...

      André Felipe It depends on whether you prefer a flashy or conservative design. Both are glossy but twilight is flashier while black is more conservative.

I think that the younger you are, the more likely you are to prefer twilight and the older you are, the more likely you are to prefer the glossy black.

    This is more like a 2019 flagship in 2018. Huawei did an amazing job here. Only thing that bothers me is the EMUI, but then again One ui and all the other UIs in general don't appeal to me. I would probably just change it for pixel 4 if the design is going to be improved.

    I had the Mate 20 Pro for about a month, didn’t like a couple of things, namely the curved edges, and the finger print scanner under the glass. I eventually chopped it in and got the Mate 20 X, it’s brilliant, same cameras as the Mate 20 Pro, finger print scanner on back, dual speakers AND a headphone jack.

      André Felipe if you want all the new technology such as in-display fingerprint, ir face id, reverse wireless charging & curved screen buy the Mate 20 Pro
      If you dont care about new features and need a bigger display, M Pen support and better stereo speakers with a headphone jack buy the 20 X
      Other than that both are same in spec, camera & features. The 20 Pro is the most famous and easy to hold though.

      Mr Salman the Mate 20 Pro & 20X has the same camera and the same quality. Only the regular Mate 20 LCD display version has the lower MP camera.
      Although the Mate 20 Pro & 20 X has the same camera the Pro might have a bit extra quality because its software optimization because the Pro is their highest end Flagship. 20X is in between the regular and Pro

    Thanks for the review, this video made me make up my mind. Changed from iPhone 6s to this phone, I got quite a bit of concerns from watching all the review videos on UA-cam. But i,'m glad that I got this phone, because it's sooo amazing, the design is great, perfect for one hand use even for someone like me with a small hand, the twilight colour is amazing, and the camera is so versatile, the battery life is insane, only used 30% of the battery with 5hr screen time!!!! The change was realatively easy, the pre-installed app helped a lot in transferring data, it took less than 3 minutes to transfer all photos, videos, contacts and calendar. I really appreciate the engineers and the Huawei team for building such a great device! The gluegate issue has been fixed, I have no problem at all

  • @biffstor
    @biffstor 5 років тому +1

    Great video. Only thing I will say is that you should use the front camera on photo mode, and when you snap a shot hold the phone still for a second after the shot and it sharpens the photos. I don't get any beauty mode on my face and believe me I need it haha.
    Oh and reverse wireless charging works fine. You only really need it to keep someone's phone alive but at the pub. Charges slow but does charge.

    Iphones for 8 years, fed up of being ripped off. Tried M 20 pro and really like it. You can notice a few glitches and ways we're they've tried to copy apple. But when your phone fully charges in 45 mins, you have this high resolution and its lightning quick, you really don't mind. Im hoping the phone will last for the two years I have it now.

    If it was available in the US, I would have bought it. I just can't spend around $1K give or take without a warranty, others think different, and fine. I have no security fears, my daughter uses a US version of the Mate 10 Pro and it's a great phone. I wish they would let the market prevail and not politics. I've said this before elsewhere, I can understand not wanting Huawei building the infrastructure but that's something else and has nothing to do with a consumer product. Would I buy it now, probably no do to newer choices coming to the market. Thank you for the re review, and good luck to all of you have have this fantastic device.

    My downsides after 2 months of use... call quality is awful, through the phone earpiece and any Bluetooth device. This doesn’t affect media audio, just the phone. The screen has scratches despite being kept in a dedicated pocket in a microfibre bag. These are fine micro scratches so it’s the very top surface rather than a deep scratch. My previous iPhone has an immaculate screen after 2 years and was used in the same way.

Though Oneplus 6 do have a type-c port but it doesn't support usb 3.0, it can be a great phone to use.

I've used two screen protectors and they're both useless because they don't curve around the screen properly so it never fully sticks and Peeled off eventually. But other than that. Totally love it. Can't afford the watch though.
