    I see a lot of comments that this thing is underwhelming because of the 1080p screen so I decided to mess around with the resolution on my S9+ and I honestly can't tell the difference between 720p and 1440p.. am I just blind?

    I never notice the difference neither. I don't even notice it on my 43" TV nevermind a 5" phone

    Ordered the p30 pro on Thurs really looking forward to getting my hands on it, but I was wondering if it is dual SIM, there's nothing on the three website about it, but if it is dual SIM would the phone have to be unlocked. We are going to America in the 3 weeks and I have a US sim I was hoping to use it in the p30

    Think I'm going for the P30 pro instead of the s10. I've had 3 samsungs in a row and want a change. You need to preorder before the 4th. Anyone know when you actually would get the phone?

    Good chance of being unlocked, highly unlikely to be dual sim.

    Ok. A Friday. Do they send them out for that day or would it be Tuesday/Wednesday the next week when you get it? Reason I ask is for getting rid of the old phone

    Can anyone recommend a screen protector for the P30 Pro? Glass or film, doesn't matter as long as there's full coverage.

    Depends where you order. Generally they are shipped Thursday to be delivered Friday if order before a certain time.

    For example with Three, if ordered before 2pm Thursday it will be delivered Friday.

    That's unfortunate, but some features are dealbreakers.

    I've preordered today, funny, till a few days ago I was definitely getting a galaxy s10. Sonos looks great too

    Everywhere says P30 and P30 Pro have dual sim. Second slot is Hybrid, meaning you could go for their proprietary storage card or 2nd sim.

    I'll give three a call tomorrow about the dual SIM.


    And yeah some features are a deal breaker. I'm really hesitant with the pro as it's got no headphone jack. I have to convert eventually as headphone jacks are becoming less and less so I'll just give it a go

    I'd nearly go for the P20 Pro Mate over the P30 because of resolution.

    Interestingly neither have stereo speakers. Not sure how much that impacts sound quality.

    Anywhere that I could preorder and get the watch GT instead of the sonos?

    Maybe it's just me but I find them smart speakers to be completely needless.

    Mate 30 Pro? It's usually a couple of months after the P Series with some tweaks

    Someone linked it above already. More expensive though than three...

    https://www.amazon.es/Huawei-P30-Pro-Smartphone-Octa-Core/dp/B07PVK42Z4/ref=mp_s_a_1_5

    Add watch separately.

    Nice, back in the club :cool:

    No headphone jack is the only problem, but I've moved to Bluetooth ones in January

    They lied. Firstly someone sitting in India wouldnt know, secondly they never tell you its dual sim. They will always say locked and single sim no matter what.

    Example being the S10 series. All were dual sim unlocked but every carrier when asked said single sim and locked.

    How can it be single sim if the phone it's produced only dual sim?

    Are you referring to P30? If so you are wrong.

    ELE-L09 - Single sim P30 Pro which will be sold by carriers.
    ELE-L29 - Dual Sim P30 Pro

    All S10 were dual sim and unlocked by default but carriers still told customers that they are locked and single sim. I was the first to confirm that they were all dual sim and factory unlocked by default. Refer to S10 forum for that.

    That's mad. So what's going on? A guessing game until they arrive?

    "Hi Mark ! welcome back to messenger. I'm Deepak , I'll take a look at this for you. You'll get the exact detail when the phone gets launches because on the website it states Single SIM (Nano-SIM) or Hybrid Dual SIM. You can wait."


    Just asked the guy again if it's dual or single SIM. Don't think he knows what he's talking about FFS.

    It looks like it. I don't know what to do now, no earphone jack, no stereo speakers I can live with but the dual SIM would have been handy to have, it's been a very disappointing launch. I was even hoping the watch would be part of the opening offer, but instead we get a speaker that I have no interest in but will be a pain in the ass to sell because adverts will be saturated with them in a few weeks.
