    My contract is up with vodafone in a few weeks. Thinking of switching to three and getting this on 45 a month. Bit hesitant about threes coverage and data speeds though..

    Yeah thinking of moving to 3 for it as Eir are not offering it. But their coverage outside of Dublin is terrible.

    Loads of reports about green screen issues on new handsets on reddit. Huawei tried to claim it was standard for oled screens but have been forced to admit issue and apparently its a bad batch of phones.
    If you get a bad one contact asap as they have the batch numbers and will ship a replacement device.
    Shocking for a flagship device.

    True,
    At least batteries are not expanding, or the phones are not catching fire or the internal memory becomes corrupt causing countless reboots. The above are a few of the issues that have bligted Samsung phones over the years

    Edit, there is always oneplus 6t

    This phone is brilliant. It's got a couple of quirks I'm not a fan of but willing to over look them.
    The gesture control is brilliant.

    I would like to be able to pull down the notification bar just by swiping down on the home screen. It's something I used to be able to do with my OnePlus 3T.

    Any idea if the OnePlus launcher can be installed without issues?

    Three now offering this.
    €519 on bill pay of €30 and €349 on the €60 a month.
    Completely taking the piss considering they’re offering it in the UK for £45 upfront on a £45 a month contract.

    Buy it on prepay then for 899, sounds like quite a good offer that way as phone is 1049 in Harvey Norman

    Is that an upgrade offer? I can only see €649 for the €30 plan.

    - Would this stop anyone getting one? Only one bad batch?

    Might get on Three Prepay. Don't fancy having to return it if I did.

    As you as you didn’t mind dealing with Huawei’s crap customer support. Everyone is giving out about it plus their refusal to acknowledge the issue at first.
    When I read this I ended up getting the iPhone X’s max. Cost me the same price as what three are charging for this.
    Hopefully Huawei improve their customer support by the time my next upgrade comes around.

    Do the Irish carriers have the dual sim version of the Mate 20 Pro or do they all only sell the single sim version?

    Vodafone reps said the first 100 would come with the watch and charger. I highly doubt 100 people have ordered tonight

    Edit: if you really want the freebies Carphone Warehouse have them online for Vodafone from tomorrow

    Does color really matter? It’s the back of the phone, how often do you look at the back? Also do you not use a cover? I would have liked the twilight myself but I’ll have a cover on it so it’s gonna make no difference to me really.

    Went with one from Three hoping it comes factory unlocked like the P20 Pro did and still does.
