Huawei P20/P20 Pro

Any idea why there is a physical home button on the fron of the P20 & Pro but not the Lite? I think the Lites design is nicer to the eye...

Because it is cheaper and simpler to put a Fingerprint scanner on the back, and the p20 Lite is cheap.

Available now to order on Vodafone with the free Headphones!!:eek:

The free headphones are for the first 50 Customers, so get you order in Quick:)

Black Version only available.

I have placed my order(only 49 sets of headphones left:cool:), as there is a 14 day cooling off period anyway.
I don't think they are shipping until April 6th...Is that correct?

In this time I will decide if I really want this phone, Confirm I am getting the headphones or simply return for my money back so I can't lose:o

Do Huawei do direct sales in Ireland? Uk direct price is £849 for the pro but pre pay on Vodafone is €780.

€299 on eir with the bose headphones shipping on the 12th April ,
Was kinda hoping for it to be cheaper considering voda are doing it for €49

That 49 is on the 80/month plan tho

Possibly the battery life on the P20 Pro will be superior to the S9+.

The P20 Pro has a bigger capacity battery to start.

Also the S9+ isn't receiving good reports on the battery life (may be fixed in future updates) .

I've also seen some initial comparisons of the camera between them and the iPhone X. The P20 seems to be superior to me.

VERY tempted by this deal.

The headphones are 370€

Anywhere to get this phone with the headphones and sim free?

You can if you were able to get them from the carphone Warehouse in the UK. There is also another few resellers there that have the same offer. Quick Google search will provide you with the other stores.

Is it me or did the majority of s9 pics look sharper detailwise but the color on the p20 shots looked more natural?

I wonder when we will know if we have qualified for the headphones for VF. If says it's limited to the first 50 only, however when you order, if gives no indication of what order # you are (inside or outside the top 50...

I have just had this conversation on VF chat, and similar issue with s7 upgrade and free gift 2 years ago.

The first thing is say is the agents really don't have the info, and this leads them to start fobbing you off.

The first answer I got was, if your eligable you receive a txt or mail.

When I questioned this I was told

There was high volume traffic and maybe you did not make the first 50. And a link to their terms and conditions

They could not give me my order number and when I told them I order within the first 5mins as I was waiting for release they changed their tune slightly.

Now the officially answer is that they will send the email when pre-order complete and then send the texts emails to first 50.

I'll keep an eye on this and start questioning the VF reps here if no updates.

Seems like a pretty crappy system. The minute the first 50 pre-orders are done, they should remove the first 50 thing from their site. Pretty bad. Anything to make money though

There is a change that they simply have not reached the 50 units yet, but there communication is very poor with this, and I am sure they will try to get some extra sales how.

Here's how the last saga with the S7 release went, It was sorted in the end but it was a very cumberson process (And they did not have the number limitation of 50 that time)

I also asked VF this morning to see if their quota of 50 customers had been reached. They couldn't answer my question. Pre ordered anyway,so have the cooling off period to take advantage of, if no headphones arrive.

It's pretty shifty customer service to handle it in such a manner. Gives the impression of a big bait and switch exercise even if it's totally legit..... Their marketing team should have more sense and control...

Is it not the black one are avail here so far?

The P9 and 10s were mostly only available in black here ,the P10 was terrible for finger prints all over it ,i personally would have loved the pantone green version .

Pre-ordered with eir black is the only option with them

But to get back to your earlier question I'm mainly interested in the new camera setup and storage ,
Got really big into actually taking proper quality pictures with my P9 over the last near 2 years my OH has a P10 but it didn't seem a substantial upgrade to the P9 to buy ,
I've been waiting for the P20 after hearing the 3 camera (4 if you include the front) rumours last year

Luckily I'm with VF on a sim only plan so opted for a PAYG phone. Luckily no switching or porting involved for me. I agree that the offer should be removed when quota is reached and not all this mystery.
It'll be interesting to keep an eye on the site to see if they remove it.
