    The CPU and GPU aren't as fast as the P9 though and I use Android Auto a lot which can be sluggish at times so I don't really want to downgrade spec, I can get the P20 for €549 on Amazon. Someone said 3 are unlocked, it's €560 there. Can anyone confirm this? It would be convenient for warranty issues, but I'm weary of awful network branding/slow updates.


    Get a mate 10 Pro, same processor as the P20 Pro, uses a 4000mah battery too but provides better battery life in tests. 559e brand new and sealed on adverts. The major difference seems to be the night cam, which of course is better on the P20 pro

    Ordered a black P20 on Amazon last night, looking forward to it arriving next week :)

    Battery drain on my P9 went from having to charge during the day of heavy use to dying over night and barely lasting a few hours. Wasn't this bad just 2 weeks ago.

    Died on ultra battery saver at 10% in about 30 minutes!

    Do 3 cameras make any difference in the dark?
    Comparing to 10 model

    If you want battery, should have gone for the mate 10 over the P20

    Definitely, just watch the reviews on YouTube.

    At what point in their lifecycle do these new phones start reducing price wise?

    Pretty much the moment they are opened and taken out of the packaging would take about 10 euro off them, and then gradually every month or so the price would drop. Less so for Apple devices then Android devices.

    Did anyone else receive 2 x headphone from Three? A guy in work just got a second pair this morning via Nightline. He already got one on May 7th. He only bought one P20 Pro.

    Can anyone confirm if the P20 on 3 is actually unlocked as someone else mentioned?

    The one I bought on Amazon for €540 is suddenly out of stock with no expected date back in stock. All the other ones in that price range don't ship to Ireland and I'm not to keen of getting one shipped over with Parcel Motel in case I need to return it for a fault.

    So difficult to buy a phone, I just don't want to spend €150 more to get it on Eir.

    Can I remove the pre-installed screen protector on the P20 Pro, there's some air bubbles after appearing in it.

    I've never put a screen protector on a phone before is it easy to do without making a balls of it?

    The first batch (pre-order and week 1 orders) were definitely unlocked from Three. This might have changed now.

    This is bad news. Huawei will soon no longer offer bootloader unlocks for their devices!

    Yup bootloader thing is silly. Especially after Honor giving out 1000 devices to us devs and now they can't even unlock the bootloader lol

    Would anyone like a Spigen Rugged Armor case for the P20?

    I've cancelled my P20 on Amazon, now the seller miraculously has stock and jacked the price up €50. I've ordered a 128GB Honor 10 for €100 less as it's pretty much the same phone just with a slightly less fancy camera :)

    I've a Spigen case on the way so if anyone wants it let me know, once it arrives I'll sort out sending it off to someone.

    Have you tried Carphone Warehouse? Not uncommon for Eir to be out of stock of phones.

    My sister, Mam and the GF had to get Huawei phones from Carphone Warehouse because Eir didn't have any stock.
