I’m also seriously getting one right now. But I’m leaning towards just the Mate 20 (not Pro) because of the headphone jack and smaller notch. Also not a fan of curved edges. There goes the IP68 rating.

I saw on another comment that the black model seemed to have an issue with the screen and changing to the green model fixed it. Anyway of knowing who manufacturers the screen on the pro model when you buy one?

One feature you missed on the Mate 20 is using the fingerprint sensor to open and close the notification panel by sliding down or up, and with double tap you can also clear all notifications. You can also use the fingerprint sensor to browse photos. And you can knock twice on the screen to capture a screenshot or draw and S with a single knuckle to take a scrolling screenshot.

@ryit.1885 5 жыл бұрын

Mate 20, better CPU and camera is a better and with better ai an way better stabilization but not in low light, low light maybe 5%less then p20pro but still excellent. Better screen because of the less beazels and big screen, still no amoled but it's the best ips lcdisplay I have ever seen befor. The battery ist phenomenal, my last OnScreenTime ist about 9,5 hours and more then 2 days. Mate 20 have "just" 4gb of ram but it's fine, I can play Pubg on highest settings without lagging. Sound is on both oke, can be better and Dolby Atmos is really good on mate20, ah and the fingerprint on the background is way better then on p20. I struggled 2 weeks before I got mine mate20 and iam so happy about it! Watch the camera comparison from Daniel sin there u can see. Maybe befor u gonna get it, go to a store and look how it fits to you because it's just a 6,5"big display but because of the less beazels it's okay but a bit bigger and it doesn't fitted me.

Heya, sorry to bother you, I live in the UK and i'm seriously confused about the Mate 20 Pro and it's availability in the UK. Maybe you could look into this and clear up some things for people? Carphone warehouse is only place to get the green model, but the version of phone they sell isn't dual sim, so you can't expand the memory? Only Three sells the dual sim/expandable version, but it doesn't let you have actual dual sim and you have to have a contract? Is that all true? What if someone wanted the Green version (or blue for that matter) with Dual Sim/Nano expansion? Even in store they seem unsure about what versions they are selling? Maybe you could help clear this up for people as someone who has spoken about the Mate 20 Pro at length?

Vormulac1 it’s so frustrating that no one is talking about this in the UK, if you ask the carriers they are just as confused. Three is the only place in UK selling dual sim version but you have to have it on a contract & make it very clear which one you want. I just ordered one from Hong Kong and saved over £100 so praying it arrives in one piece and as advertised.

Are you accidently swiping the annoying 'HiSearch' feature on your new Huawei Mate 20 Pro? Well, now you can safely remove it and it's not that hard if you pay attention to the instructions below. (It may work on other Mate 20s but I've only tested it on my phone.) 1) Download the ADB zip file to your Windows desktop computer or laptop. Unzip the contents of the zip file to your desktop. There will be a folder called 'platform-tools'. Direct link to the ADB zip file is here: dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools-latest-windows.zip 2) Connect your phone to the computer and enable USB Debugging on your phone. (There will be a pop up on your phone asking you to do this.) Open the 'platform-tools' folder that you just unzipped and open a 'command prompt' from inside that folder. Put your mouse somewhere in the folder, hold 'shift' and right click your mouse. Select 'Open command window here' 3) Type "adb devices" then enter. This just proves that you are connected to your phone. The long ID number of your phone will show up if you are. 4) Type "adb Shell" then enter. 5) Type "pm list packages" then enter. This will show you a long list of packages installed on your phone. 6) Type "pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.huawei.search" then enter. 7) Did you see the word "Success"? 8) You did it. Aren't you clever! No more accidental 'HiSearch' swipes on your phone.
