Huawei - do you have one?

36 replies

After nearly 3 years I'm quite tired of my Samsung S7 and the battery, camera etc is having problems (after being repaired twice already).

I bit the bullet and just ordered the new Hauwei Mate 20 Pro (I still have to double check how to spell the bloody name of it).

Do any of you have it? How are you finding it? Smile

I have the cheaper model, it's, fab, had Samsung's for ages but this just as good if not better

I had a honor 8 for 2 years was great, just upgraded though to honor 10. It's fab, everyone keeps saying how good the photos are from it.

The cheaper model, is that the P20 Lite that came out at the same time? :) That looked good too. Even last year's models still looked a fair bit better than my S7! Weird how fast phones become outdated. Mine was the top of the range when I bought it ... For a few short months.

Dh has just got one & the new laptop that he was glued to doesn't get a look in any more. It is lovely, amazing fir photos

swapsicles · 06/11/2018 20:53

I did have the p smart, great photos but ridiculously laggy so swapped it for a Sony z5 which though older runs so much better I saw no point having an amazing camera when it look an age to be able to take the photo in the first place!

ElfrideSwancourt · 06/11/2018 20:56

I have one - first non-iphone in over 10 years but I love it!
It's very pretty and the camera is fantastic.

Huawei p20 pro user here.

Changed from Samsung.

Bloody love it.

MerlinsScarf · 06/11/2018 21:03

A couple of family members have them and they've been great so far, and have outlasted equivalent Samsungs. Agree that they seem good for pictures too.

Ginmakesitallok · 06/11/2018 21:05

I have a huawei pro and love it. Gear camera and huge memory

SagelyNodding · 06/11/2018 21:05

I switched from Samsung to Huawei and I love it! Great phone, good battery life, lovely photos!

Tunebeo · 06/11/2018 21:07

I got one a few months ago and the battery is amazing, one weekend when I barely used it the charge lasted from Friday morning til Sunday night

Ava1988 · 06/11/2018 21:07

I have one! Dropped it countless times and not even a teeny scratch! The charge on mine last days too even with a lot of use. It was one of the reasons I chose my handset in the first place 😄

LongtimeLurker29 · 06/11/2018 21:10

Have had iPhones since they came out. Wasn't prepared to pay the ridiculous price on the newest model this time around. Went for the P20 Pro and I absolutely love it. Would never have an iPhone again after this one. Camera is absolutely fantastic and its nowhere near as slow as my last iPhone was

LongtimeLurker29 · 06/11/2018 21:11

Oh and can do 2 full days on one charge!

BathFullOfEels · 06/11/2018 21:14

I have one and it’s mostly great. Ridiculously cheaper than a Samsung or IPhone. The only problem I’ve had is that the GPS stopped working and the shop couldn’t fix it. They replaced it with another one and the GPS on that stopped working after a couple of months too. It’s only been an issue for me as my ds likes to play Pokemon Go. He just has to use dh’s phone instead now.

thenightsky · 06/11/2018 21:16

Glad I read this. I was about to buy a Samsung after years of HTCs. Then I see you lot all getting rid of your Samsungs!

SallyWD · 06/11/2018 21:17

I changed from Samsung to Huawei p20. I love it. I had so many problems with the Samsung. It was a headache. Huawei is much better!

Confuzzlediddled · 06/11/2018 21:18

P20 pro here, had it about 6 weeks and I love the battery life - I was using a pixel OG and it was getting to the stage I had about 2 hours OST or less, this has amazing OST, have had 7or 8 hours!

Flutternotsoshy · 06/11/2018 22:19

I have a p20 pro, had it since September and I love it.
Battery life is great, camera is amazing. Would recommend to anyone (and my price plan went down by £30 a month when I upgraded. Result!)

I came here to say yes, just got the Mate 20 Pro and then saw it's my thread.

As you were.

2 full days on one charge sounds amazing! My aging S7 struggles to last 6 hours.

This is how much screen on time I've had since the last battery charge (yesterday) plus I've had a day off followed by sitting in my daughters rehearsal for the last 4 hours so I've used it a lot Blush it's still got 12% even after all that use!

Huawei - do you have one?

That's amazing!

Btw my twilight one has come but not sure I love the colour? I'm debating swapping it for a black or emerald green, but the green one isn't out til next week for me to see properly annoyingly.

What colour do you have?

I have a lite version phone and really like it. I'm on a SIM only contract so wanted a cheapish one.
The only issue I have are the frequent notifications for their insurance and other products.
