AIBU?
To be unsure about changing from iPhone to huawei??

So I currently have an iPhone 7 and I'm considering changing to Huawei P30 Pro.
I would love to hear from others who have gone from iPhone to huawei!
Is it easy to make the change? Is it easy to use? Do you regret leaving iPhone?
I just think iPhones are a rip off and the lack of storage drives me insane

I actually really liked my Huawei and I think they’re actually better than the iPhones I’ve had previously. But some people just prefer the set up of iPhones to other phones so I guess it is really totally down to personal preference/budget (I’ve no idea how much they cost in comparison to each other btw)

I did and I love my P20. They are great phones and I'm sure apple know that they are the main competitors to them
Battery is outstanding and while it might take you a bit to get used to the only thing I miss from an iPhone is not being able to tap the top of the screen to jump back up to the top of the screen

I switched to a P20 Pro.
The initial switch over was slightly painful as I attempted to port my WhatsApp conversations which turned out to not be possibke at the time. But honestly I wouldn't go back. When I'm due an upgrade it'll be to another Huawei.... The camera is amazing, storage and and battery performance absolutely outstrip anything from apple for significantly less money.
I believe the US sanctions aren't going to impact international users (although I did stop reading about it a while ago as I figured since I already had the phone I'd just wait and see).

So we have one poster's DH who loves the phone and another poster's DH who hates it - how is the views of strangers' husbands any use to you?
No one can tell you if you'll like a particular phone, maybe ask an actual real life person who has one if you could try it and see for yourself.

Switched from iPhone to Huawei, spent the first day and a half thinking I'd made a terrible mistake but now I'd never ever go back.
Camera is phenomenonal, it takes less than an hour for a full charge which easily lasts over 2 days assuming I'm not using it constantly. The storage is great. Loads of other pros too, but they're my main ones.

I wouldn't go Huawei because of their security issues but I would never ever change from Android. My friend has had two or is it three iPhones in the time I've had my OnePlus
Dash charge... 0 - 100% in about half an hour.
Battery life is amazing
Very little bloatware

I went from iPhone 6 to Huawei and it took me a week to figure out the differences but so glad I switched. Camera alone is sooo much better than iPhone. Only problem I had was trying to get photos off icloud and onto my new Huawei - it can be done but by christ apple so not make it easy for you!!

To an extent it's what you're used to. iPhone is simpler out of the box. I went from Android to iPhone (work bought me the iPhone). After a year I'm going back to android because I'm unimpressed with the iPhone (save for the camera).
Haven't tried Huawei though.

I have the Honor, had an iphone before.
I love it, takes brilliant photos, easy to use, and holds the battery really well. Has face recognition and the fingerprint thing. Can download loads of apps without having to delete one to add one (which happened with my iphone!)
The only negative I have with it, is that the screen seems v sensitive so when I'm holding it to my ear, it's randomly scrolling through my calendar or something!
