Imagine having less than 400 ppi on a €1000 phone in 2019.
Yup, it's terrible. I've had an S7 edge for 3 years before this, and a Nexus 5 before that. I can say I never felt the discomfort that I'm feeling now with this phone in terms of actually seeing pixels in text, images and most of all videos while using my phone.
Since I upgrade my phones every so rarely, I decided I can't really look at a screen this bad for the next 3 years without losing my mind.
Probably will switch to a Mate20 pro at this point.
And yeah, that's that...
Why 398ppi?
I have quite a few complaints about this device after 24 hours but the screen is one of the better aspects to me. Resolution isn't everything.
Things I don't like:
No notification LED bothers me more than I thought it would - possibly because I'm not used to having Huaweis without them
Single speaker setup is a shame
Camera is massively overrated as an auto shooter (again). Can't help but feel that many of the reviewers/influencers on the free Paris trip have let buyers down.
If I turn off the fingerprint for unlocking (eg so as not to light up my room at night) there's a bug where the screen keeps lighting up to unlock every few seconds when charging, even when it's on the bedside away from any humans
EMUI is still not very attractive to me.
The Kirin 980 doesn't seem as powerful as we are led to believe. The Mate 20 Pro I had before this seemed to fall down in browser rendering VS even the Snapdragon 835 for example. Still just as jerky on the P30 Pro.
It's a nice device other than that, and I've no idea why the display resolution would bother anyone.

How come you're sticking with Huawei? Is the Mate 20 Pro that good? I also switch phones very rarely, and don't want to be stuck with a crappy one.

As I said, PPI is a big no no for me. For the rest it does what it has to do ok for me. Battery life is amazing, the cpu is fast/snappy, cameras are awesome for photos (Videos not so much, but I don't care about videos tbh) and the Mate 20 Pro has way better PPI but pretty much same specs and very similar camera.
Plus is the 3d face recognition on it, which is another plus.
Also dual speakers, forgot that, and overall, a more well rounded device than I was expecting the P30 Pro to be

Then Mate 20 Pro should be a no brainer. There's nothing that the p30 pro does better, besides selfies and 5x zoom. Are those 2 things a priority for you?

And night shots? And smaller notch? And better fingerprint reader? Those are what led me to the P30 Pro. But hey, each has his own priorities, and I'm not knocking others.

Actual discomfort? Are you sitting with your phone 2 inches from your eyes? In that case, I can understand your discomfort.
I checked the p30 pro and Mate 20 pro side by side at the store. The p30 pro display is clearly the brighter one. Despite checking out closely I couldnt find pixelation on the p30 pro. Currently using a mate 10 with 2k display. For sure the p30 pro display is much better than the mate 20 standard version and p20 pro which have 1080p display as well.
And the p30 pro speaker is louder than the mate 20 pro as seen on reviews online.
I love my P30 Pro as well, but I'm also seriously considering returning it for one reason: missing bands. It really sucks that the phone doesn't carry the newer LTE bands for AT&T/TMobile. I've tested and speeds are abysmal compared to my S8+ on the same network in the same area.
Can I live with it? Probably. Do I want to for 2 years? Hmm.

Yes, VOG-L04 does exist just not called out by model on Huawei Canada site. Clearly shows support for Band 66 :good:
This model is for Canada, Mexico & US (if US wasn't trying to protect Apple by not selling allowing Huawei to sell their phones here..)
I haven't had any connectivity issues where I live since they haven't even started Band 66 tmobile deployment at all in Indiana except up by Gary, IN & Bloomington. I may try to see if I can get one just to switch but that's doubtful unless I can find a non-carrier store to buy from.

They were just made available yesterday. ALL phones in Canada are unlocked, you'll probably need to cross the border to get one, through a Craigslist or something. May start showing up on Ebay soon though.

Band 66 would definitely help in my area, does this mean there's a possibility of wifi calling on TMO or ATT? Guessing not, but would like to find out. Although from the sound of it my only option is waiting for one to show up on ebay.

To say I'm beyond happy with this device would be an understatement. I'm seriously considering selling my Nexus 6P. They're very comparable, and I know how crazy that sounds. They have a ton of similarities, fast camera, good battery life, stock experience.
The battery life on the 6p wins JUST due to standby time. If I use the OPX all day I'll get 4-5 SOT, where the 6P gets 3-4 SOT. But that standby time of the 6p is what makes it a winner.
When OPX gets 6.0, that doze feature will really kick it over the edge.
The only thing that holds me wanting the 6p still is the fingerprint reader and the front facing speakers... before the 6p I had the OP2, that device was horrible (TO ME AT LEAST) Fingerprint reader was crap, and the shape of the device was not comfortable to hold for a while
If you're considering getting the OPX, get it. It's a fantastic device that doesn't feel cheap in the slightest bit. It performs better than the Moto X Pure Edition (2015)

One major negative however is how slippery the OPX is, as I sat there typing that is slid off the couch (which I though was level)
It's like ice slippery. GRIPPY to hold though... while holding you'll never worry about it slipping out of your hands, the glass is way grippier than the iPhone 4/4s

However i cant buy it from OnePLus web, because they dont ship to Albania (where i live ), i need try AliExpress, or something else ....
The camera on the m8 is the worst camera out there. I haven't tried the oneplusx low light.. I'll try it out tonight and post some samples

^^This is TOTALLY UNTRUE. The M8 has an excellent camera. The ONLY downside is the pics are only 4MP. So Zoom/Crop totally destroys the image. Low light pics are pretty great too. Better than this camera for sure.
Also, just the M8. The M8 Eye camera sucks.
The M8 also is optimized better than this phone. It just flies.
That being said, I would never buy a used or refurbished phone.
The M8 also has a better front camera. Better lighting and so on. Only 5MP though.
Can someone tell me whats the diference betwen a china version vs internacional version ? since opeplus does not ship to my country, i need to buy it from AliExpress and they wil sell me a china version ?

Read the article yourself. The One M8s weaknesses are noise under low light, where and stabilisation of videos, not colors and detail, both of which come out quite well, even if you lose some accuracy. You have to remember this is a 4MP sensor. It may not compete with the Z2, but its damn good for a 4 MP sensor. Sure, 4MP is not very sharp, but plenty good for social media, as long as you don't crop. The X on the other hand will do nothing in low light. Forget noise, you'll get nothing. Colors on the X are pleasing, though less accurate than the M8. The M8 overall takes better pictures, as long as you don't mind the loss of detail in the smaller sensor.

Get the 1+X 1003-version, it works flawlessly in Europe.
About the camera, i can understand why YoungSkeezy hasn't posted any low light pictures yet because they don't really turn out that good tbh. If you want to get a good camera, buy a Galaxy S6... on the other hand, that's almost the only thing that stands out with the S6
I can just repeat what all the serious reviewers tell you, the 1+X is a great phone for its price. There are better phones out there but not by far.
If you ask me, for the reasonable price the pros are:
- Good looks, slim and build quality
- Decent APU for the phone size, two years old but copes with most tasks
- 3Gig RAM helps quite a lot
- Excellent screen
- Dual SIM or SD-slot
- Close to stock android experiance out of the box
- 3-way notification slider
...and the cons are:
- No fingerprint reader
- No NFC
- Mediocre camera
- Only about 12 or the 16GB of storage is available if you use 2 SIMs

The OnePlus X has an SD 801 inside and less fancy hardware. Could be that OnePlus saved money on the hardware and innovation part.

Well, Mi5 has only one aluminium frame. They had to sacrifice rigidity of the phone to make it cheaper.
The phone has top components, though, so I think it's still one of the best Android phones (if not the best) in its price range.
Get a sleek looking case and you're fine. Since i live in Myanmar i payed the same price for it as they cost in China. So i have to handle it more careful then normal. Like a Chinese vase?
If you like rugged, get the Redmi Note 3 snapdragon. Fast, though and heavy.

And where is One Plus now? SD 820 and more expensive than the Mi5.
The time when one plus was a flagship killer are long gone. One Plus right now is too expensive to be budget, and too bad to be premium.
The difference is that the Mi5 is true budget, compared to the OP3.
What One Plus released now with the OP3 is: either go for budget SD 820 -> Mi5 or spend 50 to 100 USD more and get a real flagship over the OP3... don't bring one plus on board after the current release.
Don't live in the past, the OP1 is long gone and old.
Yet if you want to compare you may also compare stuff to the Nokia 3210, that's a "bend proof phone" ... yes I am kidding. Don't live in the past.
thx for clarifying.
I would like to give you +20 Experience and +5 Prestige for that, but I'm struggling to find those options on this not-so-advanced forum.
anyways, as far as I can see, this is present:
Mi5 vs OP3 - one breaks, another doesn't
so, there's absolutely no need to live in the past for anybody.

Heya fellas, used to own a Huawei mate 10 before jumping on the pixel 2 xl which I got now... Would you consider the mate 20 pro a good upgrade from the pixel 2 xl or wait for something better?

But then there is the problems, had to exchange it 5 times because of the gluegate issue with the screen. Finally got one with the boe screen, so that works.
Emui sucks big time and ram management is the worst I have evey seen. Notification sometimes don't come in, and if they do, you won't be able to see them because of the notch, there is no room for notifications..
I could go on. Simple answer: No, wait for better updates or maybe custom rom...
Or another phone...
I have the Mate 20 Pro and it is a powerhouse. I absolutely love it and my previous phone was a Pixel 2 XL.
If you can wait for the Sony XZ4 to come out I would jump on that
My advice...avoid the mate 20. It has all the "candy" but its not working as it should. Face unlock and fingerprint reader can be a hit and miss. Software needs a lot of tweaking. I have a Mate 10 and Mate 20 and quite frankly apart from the camera the Mate 10 hold it own, never missed a beat and now its also running on Pie. I am sure a lot on this forum will comment and disagree but keep the 800€+ in your pocket and look for another "cheaper" brand. The Mate 20 is not worth the hype. Just my 2 cents....

Ram management is fine. If you know how to use a phone. You just change the app battery settings for the problem apps and BANG no problem.
Seriously I have Pixel 2XL and a Mate 20 pro (sent my Pixel 3 back (Crap phone).
Mate 20 pro is brilliant but I would wait on the P30 Pro in march.

Nonsense. Face unlock works 100 percent of the time. Fingerprint is a backup only for locking apps.
Mate 20 pro is hands down THE best mobile out now, and I have owned them ALL.

Heya fellas, used to own a Huawei mate 10 before jumping on the pixel 2 xl which I got now... Would you consider the mate 20 pro a good upgrade from the pixel 2 xl or wait for something better?
Any major problems with the phone? I remember the 10 being flawless... Is the SD card out yet? Anyone from the middle East can confirm volte option built in ? From Dubai here

You are clearly paid by Huawei to defend their product...you are the ONLY one claiming it works 100% of the time. Its like watching these supported video's on you tube, they all have the same verdict - the best phone ever build and all works without a hitch. Get into real life and you will see its not all perfect. Anyway, I have contributed and it's up to the topic starter to make up his mind.

Well calling it a "paper weight" wasn't a great response. I had two LG screens before this one and they were bad. I now have a Boe screen and screen is perfect. Face unlock works 99percent of the time for ME. If you look at my history you will see this is the 2nd Huawei phone I've owned. So I'm not paid by them either lol. You do have to tweak it to your liking, but once you have its great to use. If i thought it was crap I'd go back to my Note 9 or onto another phone.
Things for me personally that could definitely be improved are the Always on Display, better battery management for apps (its a bit too aggressive) easy to fix but it's not obvious on how to for everyone. Audio is not as good as say LG or HTC but neither are Samsung currently.
Got to say I'm loving the phone more now ive fitted a uv glue glass screen protector, it now looks better and is smoother than when using a tpu one. Fingerprint scanner seems to work better too now.
Overall in my opinion its a great phone.

Thanks a lot guys for all the input , yeah I know how Huawei roll when it comes to ram management and notification delays, been there.
But the screen issues is a new one, emui I got used to long back so no worries there.. guess I'll wait a lil longer tho it might not be the phone to jump to at this moment.. yes I'd love the SD and having my music library/ photo gallery with me 24/7 but let's see what the upcoming phones offer..
Thank you everyone

Well, if you are happy that's the most important thing, I have ordered a UV glue glass protector, hope it brings some improvement.

Hopefully yeh.. Still wouldnt say its 100% but its better. I ordered the Alinsea one from Amazon UK. Followed instructions and was soo easy to fit. Kinda proud of myself as it was my first glass protector with uv glue, thought it would be a shambles lol. Anyway goodluck [emoji846]

I'm planning to buy V30+(LG-H930DS) from Amazon India as a secondary device, mainly for music, wide angle camera and for the compactness.
How would you rate the dimensions and weight, is it recommended? also i see no mention of this particular model in any ROMs so far, does the ROMs labeled for H930 work on this?

To each his own. I bought a second LG V30 due to the DAC which I assume is not available in any other phone. For music this is one of the best phones out there. If you're into rooting there are a few modules and a custom ROM (Boombox ROM) that improves the sound profiles.
I don't take pictures much so not able to comment on the wide angle camera.
For a secondary phone you cannot go wrong with this one.
Reg Dimensions: it is quite wide and tall and single hand operations require juggling the phone. But quite slim in thickness and feels premium.
So, a couple of days ago my Mi 8's display cracked and looks like I'l get the Mi 10 ASAP myself.
Unfortunately it's not out yet, so I'm stuck with a RN4 a friend lend to me.
Anyone else getting the Mi 10/Pro?
What's your thoughts?

I think 10 pro will be best.
I got the Mi 10 Pro. Upgraded from my Mi Mix 2S (also Pixel 3 XL). It's a fantastic device, easily the best phone I've ever used. It's quite heavy though but you will not be disappointed with this. Both the camera and battery life thus far have been phenomenal.

Good to know man.
Where did you get it from and how much did it cost if that's not a lot to ask?
Unfortunately, I can't seem to find a reliable source to buy it from and it's definitely not available in my country yet.

It'll all come down to the price I think.

I purchased from tradingshenzhen.com. At the time it was ~810USD but now it looks like the price has increased to 844USD. I got my phone 10 days after purchase. It took 7 days to actually ship but only 3 to reach me from China (used the DHL express ship method). I live in the United States

To your point, I think I would have been fine with the regular Mi 10 as well, it all just comes down to camera in my opinion between the two. I plan to keep this phone for many years to come so I went with the Pro to ensure my camera can keep up with future generations of phones. But in terms of actual day to day usage, I agree the regular model is probably the more logical choice

Speakers are better on pro and the screen is slightly better, you will get your money back on resale.

all reviewers in YouTube have told this. Besides, camera is better in pro model. If you compare 8/256 variant of Mi 10 with 10 pro, the price difference isn't that much I think.

They are much better compared to the Mi 10.
Providing more "bass" and loudness
