    Dude!.. I owe you coffee. Spec sheet mentions nothing. Reviewers guide mentions nothing. Even GSM Arena says 720p. Settings say nothing. Who on earth would've thought that you had to disable beauty mode for this. It's ridiculous! Damn. You're the man! Thanks for the tip. Clearly needed more time with the phone ^JR

These flagships are great play-things with new and great fun features each year but in reality the vast majority of us use mid-range devices like the View 10 or One+ or now Nokia 7+, few can actually pay the premium being asked for flagship devices now. Will really appreciate those featuring in upcoming videos.

    Would love to see a follow up on this in, say, three months or so. I noticed that almost everything you didn't exactly gave the thumbs up for on this phone, is something that could be fixed/adjusted in the software. That would mean that the hardware is there, and we're still waiting for the software to properly support it. I'm not looking for a new phone, but this one caught my attention.

    Couple of tips re: the quipples. If you turn AI on, when it pops up on screen you can dismiss it by tapping the 'x' without switching settings. If you want more consistency in sharpening and saturation or prefer a flatter/neutral look similar to Samsung and Pixel turn the colour profile/setting to Standard.

    You can record FHD video with the selfie camera by switching off beauty mode! Also the selfie camera might produce soft looking images due to the fact that it is fixed focus and its focusing distance is relatively short which means that the face details can get out of focus and blurry. NOT because of beauty mode since it can be turned off completely. Great video, though. I'm looking forward to your full review on this device!

It's £30 off on contract per month relative to S9Plus which means £720 savings over contract length, plus I got mine with promotional Bose headphones. Camera quality is amazing and phone very snappy despite last gen SoC.

    I'm only 1:40 in and can I just add, I am a photographer and I have the huawei p20 pro. There's a huge misconception about the 40mp camera. It's almost unusable with the over sized sensor with the tiny lens. The edges of the photo become blurred, the photo takes way too long to be taken which results in minor blur in image. I compared this with my 41mp Sony a7rii and they weren't even nearly on par. Everyone including my self will only really be able to use the 10mp 4 pixels combined to one. Thanks
