Anyone using phone without any screen protector?

Mine is looking tatty now as it's the factory one.. just wondering how the screen would hold up without one..

You'll definitely get some sort of scratch at some stage. I hate screen protectors so I got rid of mine. I'm using the official Huawei smart view flip cover. Haven't had any scratches. It's my first flip cover and I'm a convert now

Has anyone changed from P20 Pro to a mate 20 Pro or S10/+? Opinions?

Making a choice between the new Huawei P Smart 2019 and the Huawei P20. Carphone Warehouse are doing the new 2019 P Smart for €150 Pre-Pay when switching to Vodafone. They are also doing the P20 3 Bill-Pay for €30 per month and €0 for the phone on a 24 month contract. I was pretty much game on getting the 2019 P Smart until I saw the deal for the P20 and read up reviews.

The way I see it is I pay €20 a month for credit anyway so it's an extra €10 a month for the P20. I pay €150 upfront for the P Smart or €240 over 24 months for the P20.

Basically is the P20 worth €90 more over the P Smart 2019? Even though the P20 is a year old at this stage I'm leading more towards that now over the P Smart 2019. Especially when I can still upgrade the P20 to new Android and Emui 9.0.

Any advice? I have never been on bill pay before but it seams like a good deal. It has unlimited data, 100 texts and calls, which is pretty much all I need.

P30 out next Friday, wait til then and see a price drop on P20 and buy it out straight, then move to a 20 euro a month pay as you go plan

Just a word of warning if you use an app with a bar across the screen(maps for example) for an extended time.
My screen is destroyed with oled burn .

Not sure if this is of use to anyone? £432.00 for the P20 Pro

Had a P20 pro briefly but there seemed to have been a bug with expanding notifications on the lock screen...

If you got a whatsapp for example it would just show the 1st line of the message and you couldn't pull it down to read the rest of the message without opening the message. Is this still the case?!

Picked ine up in Three yesterday for €499.99. They huffed and puffed and gave me some guff that that price was just for the twilight colour. Buyer beware.

rizzee · 09-04-2019 10:45AM

Down to €480 in Vodafone now.

Do unlock codes on eBay UK work for Vodafone Ireland?

20 quid from here.

480 with Vodafone or 499 with Three.

Anyone spotted a better deal for new?

Stacksey · 09-04-2019 12:27PM

€480 for this phone is a great deal, have it a year now and it still performs the same as when i took it out of the box

Is there any commitment when you sign up with Pay as you Go with Vodafone? Do you have to buy credit or anything? Can I literally just go in, sign up as a new PAYG customer, and get the P20 Pro for €480... walk out the door and never give them another cent?

Yes you are correct, no commitment. Although you would need to get the phone unlocked for use with another network.

Edit: I know this is 100% true for the online purchase. I presume store is the same, unless they ask you to buy credit with it, which is doubtful.

Ah ok, it'll be locked to Vodafone. No good for me so.

Pacifico · 09-04-2019 03:45PM

They can be unlocked for €20...also possible they're not locked. The ones for Three are not.

Cool, might be worth asking in the shop so. I presume it's one of those phone repair businesses that will unlock it for you... €20 plus the additional hassle of having to physically go and do that though... still a good deal overall but takes the shine off it a bit for me. The Mi 9 is the other option I'm looking at which comes out around the same price (including shipping) but it's SIM free.

Nope, if it is unlocked you can do it yourself with a code bought on adverts or eBay.

Furious-Red · 12-04-2019 03:21PM

Bill pay for Vodafone = 199 upfront and 40 per month for 24 months = 1160.
Pre pay = 480 upfront. 2 years @ 20 per month = 960.

Depends what way you want to finance it

Not like for like, the 40euro a month is 10GB of data. The 20euro payg only gives you 6GB of data. Vodafone are by far the best network, and are surprisingly expensive for additional data.

Anyone having WiFi issues with their p20pro?

Only have mine a couple of weeks and the WiFi is driving me insane. Just constantly dropping telling me the phone is off line. I've reset network settings, restarted phone, factory reset and updated to emui 9. Still no joy

I've compared it to my s7 and the difference is night and day so it's no the WiFi connection.

Mundo7976 · 14-04-2019 04:42PM

Have you tried toggling off wifi+ in the settings
