I'm using this phone still today. It's quite difficult to find a phone as complete as Mate 20 Pro. It literally has it all.

If you are referring to 4K video recording, there is always a benefit in shooting in 4K. First, the video has a much higher bitrate and it looks more detailed on any screen - seriously, take a look at our 4K and 1080p camera samples on your 1080p computer screen and you will see a huge difference in detail. Second, it's future proofing your memories. Then again, some phones still have a superior video stabilization at 1080p which can be a make or break for specific needs. Also, not every computer would playback 4K smoothly so that might be a roadblock too. So in the end, 1080p vs 4K is a personal preference. There is no right or wrong answer.
Still using mate 20 pro and it's still working like brand new Huawei itself is a grate and expsive brand

TechnologyGeek i pre ordered this phone, still waiting on it tho. What do you think about the front camera? I think somehow it looks more blurry and not that sharp compared to some other devices. It looks like one of these app which blurrys out your pustules 😂. I still bought it because of all the other nice specifications since i dont use the front cam anyway. (I tested this in the shop)

Hi I'm mate 20 Pro user just wanted to share it's great and I like the supercharge it's really help me a lot when I'm in a rush
I'm really thinking about getting this phone, I currently have the Mate 10, and I know it can't be purchased in the US. The real question is will it still work in the US on MetroPCS?
I charged my phone full within 1 hr 2 mins fully by 01:51PM and its 11:57 now, with some uamsage in KZread what's app and pubg and other browsing and also full connected to wifi now the time is 11:57 and 44% Still left.... BEAST💪
I must say a few things! I got this phone today and I wanted to share some stuff with you guys. Many reviewers have some concerns: 1.the fingerscanner is slow and need hard pressure. Absolutely NOT. This was fixed for the release 2 the face unlock is slower. Same here, fixed for release, it is too quick for me. I can't even show my friends the finger print scanner haha 3.emui have almost all solutions to the complains, you just need to find the settings, idiots :D no app drawer? Come on. It is there haha 4.the most common mistake I see with the news gesture control :thinking you need to swipe diagonal to get the assistant. Read the fuckking notes haha. Swipe UP when close to a corner. Not diagonal haha. This is the world's best phone. I am soo happy

An amazing phone which is near perfect!!! Huawei with its own hardware software combo including the chipset is indeed a unique company that keeps growing superior in every iteration.. If there's a con I Shud say the Android updates are slow..
do you have minor light bleeding (or green bleeding) on display in dim light condition?
