[Mark Spoonauer]

The Huawei Mate 20 Pro seemingly one-ups the iPhone and Android flagships in several ways. But is it for you?

Would never buy another Huawei, support is absolutely awful if something goes wrong (which it will).

@csaunders339 Thanks for the comment. What happened?

Unfortunately the removal of the monochrome comes at the price of a higher shutter speed under low light. It's simple physics but multi frame stacking cannot capture people in low light unless they are posing.

As a long time Note user, I would totally convert for this phone. It's a shame it's not available in the US

/all other issues aside/

I see that it's a mere $1,220, out there on the interwebs.

I'm glad I bought the HM10P when I did at half the price of my Note 9 both comparable in power, smoothness and capabilities. My Note 9 with Bluetooth S Pen has a slightly more saturated color display so I know the HM20P will be equal in display quality. I'm not a notch type aficionado and now that Huawei is pricing themselves in the same realm as Apple and Sammy is gonna be a wait and see how it fairs. I know Huawei products per this post can hold their own. It's too bad we can't get along politically. I can only guess that update support will be next to nil for my USA device. A couple of things my HM10P needed tweaking with which may exist with HM20P is the default calculator app and text app. I'm using the Google calculator because it has a history option and for text ChompSMS because it doesn't cap MMS pics at 300KB's. There are third party apps like WhatsApp and Line too but for phone to phone phone number texts which is the go to in the USA this resolves grainy pics. Both apps are free but I don't know if they exist outside the USA. For those of you with Huawei devices, you've gotta a monster device

Too bad about the screen issues eh?

Overall i am quite happy with the phone (M20Pro), but video recording quality isn't great.
