Got my p20 pro yesterday, switch from IPhone 7 and no regrets I really love it

Got my P20 Pro two days ago and so far it's pretty faultless. It's lightning fast no matter what you do, the screen is stunning, the camera is just awesome and the details in the photos are just phenomenal. Compared to the latest Samsung & iPhone it's better in every department. The fingerprint reader and the facial recognition is amazingly fast. Talking about fast, if you need to take a photo quickly you don't even have to unlock the phone, just tap the volume down button twice and in only 0.4 seconds, you've taken a photo. Beat that Apple & Samsung ! The battery puts every other phone I've had to shame and my iPhone, iPad loving wife is even amazed by the P20 Pro. I could keep singing it's praises but you get the picture. The Huawei P20 Pro is a brilliant phone and well worth a look if your contract's up or if you need a cheap ish flagship phone. You really get a lot of bang for your buck and can't go wrong with the latest gem from Huawei.

Kenneth raiford, thanks for the comment. I've got the P20 Pro, my wife has an iPhone 8 and her mother has a Samsung S9 edge. Her dad has a Sony Xperia XZ but that's nowhere close to the quality. Like for like the P20 is a big step ahead of the S9. The detail on the P20 in real life is just astonishing, you need to see it for yourself. My wife is a Silversmith/Jeweller and takes all her own photos (with her iPhone 8 but now she wants to use my P20 Pro after seeing how phenomenal the photos are. I saw loads of reviews and comparisons before buying the Huawei (the camera was not why I bought it) but seeing the results in the flesh, honestly I've seen nothing that comes close. I have no reason to lie to you and my eyes have perfect 20/20 vision, I had an eye test last month. I would try to get a P20 Pro to play with and make up your own mind. Don't trust anyone ! Take care.

The only thing p20 pro as that's better then the s9+ is the camera (most of the time) and it's really nice looking colour and the faster fast charging brick that comes in the box. I would say the battery as well but considering that you only get about 15-20 min more battery life with a 4000mhp then a s9+ that has 500mph less( so ye better battery time but drains a little faster ) And you can also double press the lock button on s9 to jump over the lock screen and go straight to the camera. So it's already beaten p20 pro in that. And almost everything else is better on the s9+ (except for updates maybe)

Honor View 10 user here, coming from a Honor 8, battery that lasts for a day and still have juice for the next one no matter what you do (games, browsing, music youtube), outstanding performance from the Kirin 970, it's blistering fast and fast charge does its business in 90 minutes. And a 2018 device with headphone jack. Nice aluminum design, the blue really fits well in Honor devices, photos are very nice considering this is a budget flagship killer in terms of performance. Having it since February and 0 problems. Honor and Huawei are the Underdogs that slowly start to convert other massive companies like Samsung and Apple into their prey.

I've had the P20 Pro for more than a month now and it's the best! It's already running in Android Pie and the EMUI updated as well. There's so much that I can do with this phone and I used to be an Apple user for years. I've watched so many reviews on KZread before buying this phone and I must say that it does so much more than what all these reviewers are saying about this phone. It's worth it and I don't regret purchasing it at all.

Watching this on my P20 Pro. It's such an incredible phone, I would definitely recommend this to anyone! I switch from a Huawei P-Smart which is also a great device.

Vas Me there are things that people might have overlooked and opinions from others are quite important so that you don't regret buying it.

I've just had my new P20 Pro with me on a week's vacation. Hands down the best smartphone camera I've ever owned or seen. Got my "old" Galaxy S8 with me for comparison. It's no comparison. You'll get the best landscape and architecture shots with the "night mode" during the day! Don't worry about the 4 second shutter delay - EVERY SINGLE PHOTO comes out vibrant and sharp, with incredible surface/texture detail. And with night shots it's simply the best! AI can be overly invasive sometimes though.

It's not limit to 720p. Go on the selfie cam, go on video mode, turn off beauty mode, and swipe right and you can change your resolution.

Has been using more than a week and I'm totally in love with it. An excellent successor for my aging Nokia 808 PureView. The camera 📸 and battery life are impressive just the video 📹 kinda let down hoping software updates can fix it. Zooming in the video 📹 compromise the quality...

Why almost nobody talks about the Easy Connect desktop mode is beyond me. Samsung will rob you of 99$ for the bricklike DeX unit, while Huawei only needs a simple cable to connect to a screen. This is kind of a big deal for some of us.

Got my p20 pro last week and love it

I got my Huawei p20 pro three days ago, the impressions are just gorgeous. Who thinks about what to buy or not, just buy not regret it. The camera and battery are very strong.

Switched from iphone X to P20 pro. Best decision ever. Good job Huawei!!

Has the P20 Pro for nearly a week. Very, very good battery: 65% left after a day running GPS for 4 hours and fairly heavy use. No day has left me with less than 40%,so wireless charging irrelevant. Camera is best I've used to date. Hybrid 5x zoom is virtually indistinguishable from 3x optical zoom and low light photography class leading. I would have preferred a headphone jack and there was space for it on the bottom. I haven't shot any videos so can't comment. Face ID works very well and fast. Private Space is a great idea for work files. Essentially, if you unlock with a certain finger then you immediately access what seems like a new phone and can add sensitive apps like One Drive and save confidential client documents there. Unlock with your usual fingers and you get your normal home screen and apps. Simple, but very effective data protection.

P20 rocks, best flagship on market with best value for price if people like replacing their DSLR or just do the usual stuff. Only drawback I see is IS not available under 4k Video mode but then who cares, HD is quality enough, 4k currently hype anyway. Best tiger in the cage, go for it, I done it with the Bose deal, looking forward HOPEFULLY to the noise cancellation wizard on top the Camphone and end up with a pretty good deal finally.

Android is turning into a 2-horse race between Huawei and Samsung. I have owned Samusng, LG and am currently on the Huawei P9. I was really impressed with its value and performance after 18 months now. M LG G3 really was a step below Samsung and Huawei, let's hope they can keep pushing each other as more Iphone users start to see the light that is Android.

I bought the pixel 2 xl than the galaxy s9 plus. Now I have the p20 pro. In terms of image quality all these phones are so near to each other but when it comes to details especially the night mode no one can come close to the p20 pro. As far as I experienced the pixel 2 has the best camera which gives the best results especially in day light and indoor shots compared to the galaxy s9 plus. However the s9 plus night shots were better when I compared them. Between the 3 phones the best speakers belonged to the s9 plus but I guess it had the worst battery which drained as hell. P20 pro speakers especially when you turn it side for the stereo performance sound clear as s9 plus but the basses are a bit better in the s9 plus. P20 pro has the best battery of 3 including my old iphone X . S9 plus 4k video quality is the best out of 3. After using all of these phones imo the p20 pro takes the lead. It has the night mode which is most important for an ISO maniac like me :) the best battery, a great looks and more ergonomic than the s9 plus edge screen. I never wanted to use s9 plus after handling the p20 pro. P20 pro is very fast in real life usage it felt faster than the s9 plus but the same as pixel 2 xl. I highly recommend it to everybody once you get it in your hands you will not look to buy another phone till Huawei makes the new one. (I used my mate 9 for more than a year which was a record for me :)

Needless to say the exhibitionist in me adores the Twilight and I now go looking for them as I wander around,,,, All in I adore the phone and have no regrets in going Pro, over Iphone X! I hope the honeymoon period lasts but see no reason why it won't

I got my P20 last monday and I am watching the reviews so far all reviews are perfect.. It works fast and manageable.. I am still exlporing it. Price is worth. God Job Huawei!!!..

Fantastic review Tom! You are really improving constantly! You mention all the important stuff, specs etc without talking too much about unnecessary things. Really enjoy watching you videos 😊✌️

Yes, it's my new phone and was a good deal on contract. There's a lot to like about it.

I just got the P20 Pro. Switched from Apple (iPhone 7) and loving it. Perhaps its because I bought it 5 months later than most you guys... it only cost me SGD148 (82.29 pounds). Quite a steal. First time watching your video - while hunting for P20 video reviews and subscribed. Keep it up!

Ever since Huwei came out with p10+ I've been using Huwei phones. I got p10+ and p20pro. and so far I'm super loving it.

Had my p20 Pro for a month and it's awesome. Just works and I like the fact it is so easy to change settings. Love the camera!!! And the fact it was so much cheaper than Apple and Samsung phones.

IV now owned a Huawei p9, p10 and p20 pro, I can honestly say I have loved them all and will not go back to Samsung, IV had 2 Samsung phones fail and so I gave Huawei a try and it was the best thing I did in regards to phones.

Nice selfie tip there. I'll try that out next time!

Was wondering: have you ever used a Huawei phone for an extended period of time? The thing is: whosoever has done so always think that Huawei phones are the best in NOT slowing down and deteriorating battery life over time. If that's actually the case, don't you think it's fair to say that EMUI is actually not only on par with Samsung's software, rather it's ahead of it (PS. looks are a thing of personal preference, so I wouldn't really count that). Samsung phones have slowed down till the S8, what guarantee is there that the S9 won't cause you to shake your head in the long run!?

I had 11 different mobile for last 20 years and none last a day before charge again and this p20 pro is best battery I ever own, speed faster than s8 by couple of second, and camera with plenty of setting choice, that where you can get a great picture once you work out the best setting to take a shot. Low light what can I say it best I see for last 20 years on mobile apart DSLR nikon that I own? Yes both s8 and p20 pro are a good mobile with weakness and good bit? It down how you want to use mobile for? As everyone got different point of views.

Got my p20 pro yesterday and I gotta say the camera quality is beautiful, although it takes time getting used to the modes etc

okay first of all .dxo does not test video at 4k you should know that as a youtubers. second the front camera can record 1080p if you turn off the beuaty mode

This phone is a really good device, the camera is amazing, however the lack of 4k stabilisation is just unacceptable on a flagship phone, the 4k footage is unusable.

Hi hope you dont mind me not being a fan of the case but your videos well they are great with good info as ever me :)

I'm very happy with the device. One thing I've noticed on pretty much every video on KZread, is the camera interface is different to mine. The night mode is in more and not on main option tab. It is a great device and most definitely one of the best devices I've used or seen

I got p20 pro the day it came out and it's now 3 or 4 months now and I'm still pretty in love with this sexy beast the battery is no joke I don't have to worry about lowing down the brightness the phone runs smooth didn't freeze on me since I purchased it the notch isn't a big issue what I'd say the biggest problem on this phone is the headphone plug but you also can live with it because the battery last for very long time so you can charge your phone when you go to sleep and listen to your music all day without worrying about the battery so its brilliant phone best one I've had so far, Go Huawei :)!!!!!

Hi! Great review and i have the P20 Pro myself and absolutely love it! One question though, you mention that the screen is not HDR but i noticed at the 7:44 mark that the 'HDR' badge was on Lost in Space while you were browsing the Netflix app. Can you confirm whether you get Netflix HDR or not please? In Netflix on my P20 Pro i don't get the HDR badge and i would love that support to be there! Thanks and keep up the great work :)

My iPhone 7 Plus died last week, and I needed a new phone. Can't see paying the ridiculous prices apple is now charging for inferior hardware, so I ended up with a P20 pro. Wow. I love it so much.

I used to have the huawei p9 but I didn't like it, but the p20 pro looks luxurious 😍 I think i'll go in store and play around with it to make my decision!

I have both. Ignore dumb comments about slow Samsungs, many people buy slow cheap SD cards, then blame the phone. Now how do they compare? Both are great. In photography, too. Basically comparable, P20 Pro gets best results in certain situations, especially manual mode and night mode, which require more effort from the user, but it is more probable that you get better results from the S9+ in normal point & shoot, since everything is fast and easy with the S9+. Now for the really sole advantage of the P20 Pro: battery life. I have difficulty with the S9 battery reaching the end of a day of heavier usage - but IF YOU TAKE THE TIME TO TWEAK EVERYTHING then you will get a day and a half from the P20 Pro's battery easily. In your hand, the glorious screen and the great finish of the S9+ are easy to feel, as well as the much better sound, so it's a hard choice. I use both, but I do walk the P20 Pro about 2/3 of the time.

Now about the notch. You all should know this: The Huawei P20 Pro has the best bar none software implementation. Why? No apps or videos are mangled by the notch. It's like it isn't even there! And the option to "hide" the notch will still have yor status icons there, thus keeping the display rectangle clean. AND you can save even more screen space by having the very fast fingerprint sensor double as the navigation controls. All in all extremely well figured out.

Great review brother.

Love the P20 pro! Can't wait to get it!

My Honor View 10 has same RAM and Chip as this monster, battery capacity of 3750 mAh, not 4000 but it lasts between 7 and 8h of screen, basically one day guaranteed and still having juice for mostly half of the next day, in case you can't afford the Huawei, try their second company, Honor (I know you don't get IP certificate and this polished design but if you look for a budget performance flagship killer, Honor View 10 is a great phone from an underrated company) so far I had the Honor 8 and today having the View 10 and is an amazing experience, super fast, pretty amazing camera, the AI chip seemed to improve my battery life (seriously, I have never experienced this in a previous phone and I had Samsung, Sony and even an iPhone, this one before I switched back to Android thanks to Honor) and is pretty much customizable thanks to the Theme App, you can put it as you wish. Wifi and 3G connections are a blast, super smooth and fast, and the fingerprint is on another level. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PHONE.

Being a Samsung user since the first galaxy, this year I decided to mix it up and get the P20. And i have to admit the Hauwei in my opion is far superior to the other phones I have used so far thanks to the EMUI. The only regret I have is not opting for the pro for a bigger screen..... Enjoyed the review. Thanks

Please review the Zenfone 5 when you get the chance :) I know you get a few Asus laptops so hopefully they will send you a phone for review

I picked mine up in Thailand last week. It was nearly £200 less than over here in the UK. I love it and have ditched my S9+

Wow it is the same colour with mine and same product,I just received my own as a birthday gift from my boyfriend last month, August 17.

I returned my P20 Pro today because of GPS problems: when in the background it will stop tracking after a while (at least on my unit), probably because of some battery-saving strategy. I tried every setting but nothing worked. A real show-stopper. Also: you can hide the notch OK, but what people never talk about is that the notification icons remain absolutely tiny.. can be a problem if you're over 40-50..

Not a huge fan of that notch trend, I prefer to have a complete bezel on the top like on the S9+ or the Pixel 2.

panatha tube I'm not a fan of Samsung experience purely because I find it to be too animation heavy and there is a lot of bloat. Its obviously got better but it's no where near as clean or fast as the near stock launchers like Oxygen (OnePlus) and AndroidOne and the Pixel launcher. That's why I don't like it

Oh and I have been very happy with my battery life I went to bed midnight last night with 43 percent took off charge 7 a.m that morning. Sometimes only have 20 depending on what I'm doing so no complaints

Had mine for a few weeks now and it is awesome! I went off apple around the time of the 3gs as for me they weren't doing anything inventive and switched to android. Was using the the p9 lite and for a budget phone did a good job so decided to treat myself when the p20 pro came out. Battery life is awesome and camera is excellent.

Wish was available in USA as I'd switch to it, but my carrier doesn't support it, even if we're to buy online from Europe, etc.....bummer

Howard Z Have Sprint, & network not compatible as they use different network than Verizon & AT&T, sucks. But don't feel like switching as have good plan & rate. But, if there phone selection keeps going down, deff will look into switching than. Just not there yet...

Just got my p20pro and it's awesome! I'm actually watching this video on my p20pro

Wowwww... I am quite amazed by the camera... Absolutely top notch (pun intended 😉)... We have got a new king in this segment... The Tech chap, this is the first video I saw of yours, u r too good man.... Become a fan..👏👏 Will subscribe right now..😉

Great video 👍😎💪 my dream phone 😎

I got p20 lite and it's very nice..

just ordered one... pretty excited about my first "non-iphone" smart phone. I hope ive made the right choice

Excellent review, thanks ! The P20 Pro is currently 499 CHF (£377) without a contract, from one of the main high street electronics stores here in Switzerland, so if anyone's coming skiing over here, don't forget to buy your electronics here. (Everything is expensive in Switzerland, except petrol and electronics... I've no idea why !)

What about a review on P20 lite?!? No "big" KZread channel as done it and to be honest only 30% of general population can afford this laptop price phones lol

Great review! Will get mine in few days :)

I've used the phone for about one week and some "little" things made sell it and just keep rocking my S8. For starters the missing headphone jack: I do have good bluetooh headhones (Sony MDR 1000X), but not having the physical connection to just attach cord headphones for a quick video, or while lunch break is somehow frustrating. Here the AKG ones provided by Samsung are simply more practical. Not having wireless charging is also a miss, since I do own one charger already, which I have in the office and can leave my S8 charging when not in use. I personally miss the feature, but to be honest the battery life of the P20 Pro was so good, I really didn't have to charge it during the day, just overnight. I listen a lot to music, specially during lunch break or commuting, and it really pissed me off not being able to equalize manually the sound output. Or at least not with wireless headphones... I mean, this thing doesn't have a headphone jack, you're kinda "forced" to use wireless headphones, and neither Dolby Atmos nor an equalizer are available. Yeah, you can use the adaptor sent with the phone, but I mean, it's an expensive phone, I shouldn't need to use a shitty adaptor to have my music sounding like I want it to. Just plain stupid. I also own a Gear S3, and it doesn't work flawlessly like with my S8, but this is to be expected somehow and it's "my fault" for being so deep into Samsung. Performance was absolutely great, and even the display was awesome. In my opinion better than the S8, since it had somehow more detail to it. Overall a very good phone, but surely not perfect.

Having had both iOS and Android phones before getting this, I can say that I am impressed.

Hi! You are awesome 😉!

I Didn't saw this phone yet live in my hand but all i get from KZreadrs that its a Very Good phone but only negative things are! 1) Unstable 4K video recording 2) No headphone 🎧 Jack 3). Display is Vivd but not much bright i was expecting but overall ok Positive Thing is! " It got best Still camera specially low light camera is just awesome & beat its competitors like Samsung, iPhone & Sony

The Brightness is as good as the S9+ without that additional boost that messes up the colors etc in auto mode. If you turn it on max brightness against my girlfriends s9 manually, the huawei is actually brighter by a little margin.

Saying the only difference is the camera and that's why it's the best is actually pretty dumb

Just got the Twilight P20 Pro today and loving it!

So the missing headphone jack is solved by a converter that is provided in the kit? Great, because I love my Sennheisers and can't use ear buds. No mention of where the slot is for the SD card. Is it tucked inside the phone like it is on the Samsung? People say why would you need it with 128 on the phone itself, but I take a LOT of photos, and having that SD card is a lifesaver!

The iphone X looks like the essential phone.... Why is everyone talking about the notch as if apple did it first,...?

I love this phone... People don't like the lack of the headphone jack but honestly what difference does this make? You can't charge and use headphones at the same time, but the battery life is so good and the charging so quick, this isn't even an issue. And with most people operating wireless headphones nowadays it isn't even noticeable. Everything else about this phone is amazing.

Just bought this for £300, looking forward to getting it. Seems like insane value for money :D

Aren’t they the ones that go on fire?

I've had iPhones for years and have never wanted to change to Android. A mate showed me his lower spec version and I was blown away with the way the phone can be customised and with the quality of the camera. I have now need loads of KZread videos on the P20 Pro and I cannot see any reason to stay with Apple. I just need to wait two months until my contract ends. Should I wait for a P30 Pro????? Great video!!

Great honest review. I'm glad you didn't bang on about the notch on the screen because I swear many tech reviewers are obsessed with it! I can't imagine caring that much.

Battery life is little better than flagship phones because it's not using a flagship soc. Biggest issue for me is mediocre video performance. It's not only missing stabilisation at 4k but also with 1080p 60fps. And 1080p isn't as good as competition when using stabilisation and research found out that bitrate is lower than normal.

@livolas

Garret141076 it actually is a flagship soc, on par with the 835. And flagship socs are supposed to reduce energy consumption, so your point is not really valid. It's just the bigger battery and maybe some AI optimization.

Liviu Varlam correct. The Kirin 970 came out in October last year so is still only 6 months old. Kirin and Snapdragon are just on a different release cycle, that's all. I'm using P20 Pro and I agree, 4k stability isn't cool but I probably use the video 1 time per month if that so doesn't affect me much, others will be different. Camera and low light are next level to anything out there... And I've used EVERYTHING out there!

The Kirin 970 is no faster than the 960 and actually loses in some performance benchmarks. So the 970 is actually pretty old.

R SR you could not be more wrong and uninformed... Average Benchmarks HiSilicon Kirin 960 → 100% Average Benchmarks HiSilicon Kirin 970 → 125% That's the average over multiple tests, but the 970 beat the 960 in EVERY SINGLE BENCHMARK. End of.

They have the same arm a73 cores clocked at the same speed. 970 was more for battery savings and graphic improvement. The cpu performance is nearly the same. Funny you use that average PassMark PerformanceTest Mobile V1 - CPU Tests 960 - 264076 970 - 202050 So not every single benchmark.

Derek Drummond Believe me, will be, at least Huawei developed a solution to the notch , the user can hide it in a very smart way, also the benefit of the notch is to put out screen alerts،، So if you hide the notch, the alerts will remain at the top next to the earphone, since the alerts do not take up an area of ​​the screen, this is a smart idea from Huawei

If you put a notch and a bottom chin make sure to make the top bezel symetrical with the side bezels or it will look horrible as the p20...

Will be getting my Huawei P20 Pro soon and im excited.

I picked up a P20 Lite and i love it! I miss my P9 which is still on par with the P20 spec wise.
