Mate 20 Pro

S9 has a great camera as it is. I'd say you'd be hard pushed to notice a difference. The battery on the S9 is poor though.

Got this phone yesterday and loving it so far. Was a gift but herself purchased it from Three, worrying if any issues occur! Did you get any further with this Dan?

rizzee · 05-12-2018 9:10am

My mate is on his 3rd one and is sending it back again. All green screen issues.

TrustedApple · 05-12-2018 9:11am

Seen all these green screen issues makes me happy that I kept my mate 10 Pro for another while.

Roll on the p30 Pro with 5g!!!

tedpan · 05-12-2018 9:28am

This has put me right off..

I love the fingerprint scanner under the display although, if the screen cracks it's unusable.

Was either buying a mate 20 pro or a 6t. Think I might go with the 20x...

They wanted me to post it for repair which I kept refusing for obvious reasons. Rang Huawei they gave a ref number but Three still said their policy is to send it to technician and then back to manufacturer for replacement which will take 2 weeks, again refused the same.

After 3 days of phone calls , I said if I dont get an update I will be going to the store and wont be leaving the store till they replace it. They said as it was online order so cant be replaced in store , again I refused to post it back.

I gave them till 1pm last Thursday and told them if I dont get a proper answer and resolution I will be going to the store and waiting till they replace. They finally gave in and said they are going to send a replacement to the store and I can bring the faulty one there.

I collected the replacement Friday, now the good thing is the return was online but the replacement was through store, so now if any issues the store will have to replace it immediately.

Edit: The replacement has a BOE screen.

Anyone order from amazon with the promotion? I just got an email saying my promotion claim was rejected because I'm not resident in the UK. I got the phone delivered to parcel motel, and asked for the charger and watched to be delivered there too. Not too happy..
Anyone have a successful claim?

By any chance was this Dual sim? I just got a P20 pro with a work upgrade and had my fingers crossed it was a dual sim model but they only sell the single sim P20.

Nope, if ordered from a network in the UK or Ireland will only have single SIM

I thought the same, really frustrating that all the UK carriers do this. I have to get an upgrade, sell the single sim to then get a dual sim. Don't like carrying two phones around all the time..

Did it arrive, if so how are you getting on with it?

I see they're 799 on adverts now.

dan786 · 13-12-2018 10:52am

Only opened my replacement one from Three with BOE screen, never used the phone. Just ordered the 6T Mclaren so if anyones looking for one 800.

Yes delivered this morning. They are having delays with some parcels as I ordered a few wireless bullets using my free points and they are still have not moved since Thursday. But not too worries about them.

killbillvol2 · 25-12-2018 10:35am

I can pick up a dual sim version of this for about €850 in Bangkok. Very tempted. Are the screen issues resolved in newer batches or is it pot luck?

The Floyd p · 26-12-2018 12:18am

Got one off Three about 3 weeks ago, the phone came with a BOE screen, no messing about with an LG screen. Phone is absolutely unbelievable, camera is lit and it's blazing fast. Nicest yoke I ever owned.

Yeah. I do. Currently have the HTC U11 dual sim.

Picked up the dual sim for €870 in Bangkok. I'll get about 50 back as a VAT refund. BOE screen. Amazing phone. Hard to put it down!

rolion · 28-12-2018 1:04am

Came with a promo white box, Google Assistant thing...can I sell the "sneaky listener" on adverts !?

Well,seeing that everyone tries to fcuk up Huawei, i got pissed and I bought/upgraded one handset for everyone on the house to try to find that piece of evidence... with KIS detection program.

Be good...a good person is a happy one !

We give out about Huawei saying they spy on is.

Facebook openly sells our data.

Google sells or data.

While in the USA the government can tap into people's phones any time they won't.

Do you really think Huawei are any worse?. Just because they are the chinnise?.

We are told by the media the russions and chinnise are evil and the amaicans are the best. They are as bad as each other and will do what ever they won't!!

Indeed they are no worse, I just found it comical that someone had the tinfoil hat on for a Google Home (with a physical mute button) and isn't worried at all by a Huawei (or near any other) device.

Finally getting my hands on the Mate Pro 20. On contract but since my existing phone is about 3 years old, I think I deserve it

As for whoever is listening, monitoring my phone, emails, web usage etc, if that's what they are doing all day, they are going to be bored silly as my life is not that interesting

Enjoy the new phone...you will love it.

In respect to last paragraph, get a nice bottle of wine and go and watch this movie made in 1998.... link HERE
Then,come back in the future in 2019 and guess what kind of technology is out there...and how "you" as an historical analytic element potential person of interest, step by step is been built.

Take care.

Where would the best price for this be at the moment, not bill pay ?

2smiggy · 11-01-2019 5:29pm

is the €899 with Three a good deal (i'm already with Three) or are there much better ones out there ?

rizzee · 11-01-2019 5:32pm

My mate was on his 6th (yes Sixth) one due to the dodgy screen problems. Car phone warehouse gave him a full refund today and he got to keep his free watch! Happy days. Another is on his 3rd but its a case of 3rd time lucky as he has the correct screen eventually .

It was in over 10 stores when I check. Now gone everywhere. It looks like a price error. The Black is 300 more which doesnt make sense.

For myself today! Loving the phone, very different to my HTC. Anyway am trying hide some apps in the app drawer, don't want to uninstall them just not have them in the list of apps. Could do this easily on my Htc and cannot for the life of me find out how to do this here. Possible?

2smiggy · 24-01-2019 4:25pm

got it myself yesterday , still messing about with it, but very fast phone, and a savage battery. charging is very fast too.

not sure how to hide the apps , i had a lot from my old phone, I just started deleting some, and making lots of folders for the rest !!

dragona · 25-01-2019 12:04am

Don't want to delete or uninstall, just don't want them in the apps list, I am still trying to figure it out!

Can I move apps to it?

Why would you want to move apps to it? You should get one and store all your photos on the card.

Why would you possibly need to move apps to an SD card on a 128 GB phone?

Why? They're all stored in Google Photos anyway.
