    Personally not a huge fan of emui, would rather just android, but im coming from a phone i had almost 5 years so its a massive step up and liking it alot so far

    EMUI ?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 55,757 ✭✭✭✭Mr E


    It's the default launcher (the interface on phone when you get it).
    Easy to replace with another (Nova Prime, Squarehome etc.) if you want.

    Hi all, I have some vague recollection of an accidental damage service for free by VF when I bought this phone - has any one successfully or otherwise used this? Dropped my phone at the weekend and broke the glass back
    thanks in advance

    Nova launcher is great.

    Google drive will work for your cloud storage

    Huawei have an app called Phone Clone. Download it onto both the iPhone and the P20 and follow the instructions and it will carry across all the important stuff

    Long time Samsung user currently using the s9 but eagerly awaiting the p30 reveal later this month.

    If the p20 and p20 pro are anything to go by then this should blow the S10 put of the water. Samsung has just gotten so boring and not very innovative for me.

    Any of you p20 users gonna upgrade to the p30?

    I'd say no. I have the p20 pro and it does everything I want and more.. the camera is unreal.. battery top notch.. I'm going to drive this phone into the ground so to speak..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 55,757 ✭✭✭✭Mr E


    Agreed. Can't fault the P20 Pro. Massive battery, lots of storage and I prefer to use the camera on the phone instead of my DSLR.

    No plans to change any time soon.

    I guess youll have to wait until release date so as only manufacturers can give fully concrete specs.

    GSM is fairly reliable though.

    I get the feeling the p30 will be only an incremental upgrade over the p20 ,same as the did from the P9 ,10 and then P20 pro and mate ,
    For me it would have to be something special to trade up to first ,


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,917 ✭✭✭Bacchus


    Not interested in the P30 but I'll be keeping an eye on the price of the P20 for when it inevitably drops.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 452 ✭✭iHungry


    I love my P20 pro for the cameras and i was thinking I might upgrade to the P30 pro if it comes with a wide angle lens camera and if there's a pre-order deal like for the P20 pro.

    What cases are people using/would recommend for the Pro?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 114 ✭✭Da Optimist


    Where can i get a p20 pro for less than 600? All the ones on Amazon are 3rd party sellers.

    Which version of this phone is most suitable for Ireland. On Amazon it lists 3 versions. International,western European and UK.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 498 ✭✭Stacksey


    Have had my P20 Pro almost a year, what a great phone it is and then at the weekend the home button died a death, the fingerprint software even disappeared as a result of the hardware failure, has been sent off for repair :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,399 ✭✭✭✭ThunbergsAreGo


    A very stupid question, how do i set this up for Chromecasting?

    Three have it for 590


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 55,757 ✭✭✭✭Mr E


    @naughtb4 - Install the Google Home app, and configure your chromecast through that.

    In any apps that support casting, look for this icon while watching a video:

    I have found the factory one to big a magnet for white dust but i will keep it until it starts going tatty at which point i will replace. Personally i wouldnt like to chance it, even the slightest mark on the screen would do my head in!
