How do you like it?

[Aljean Thein]

I used Emui for about a couple of weeks. Works like it should. it's a launcher after all and it was fine.

A few things that is a bit annoying though

1) No swipe up for app drawer. I was spoiled by Nova with this nice feature.

2) When opening an folder, the pop up will appeared in the middle of the screen instead of near the app. Where it's more convenient and one handed friendly like in Nova.

3) App drawer is ugly. They need to update it and look more cleaner than it is right now. Nothing wrong with it though

Beside those everything works just fine. Works like it should. No slowdown or lag.

I recently got the mate 20 pro and switched from an HTC U11. I have always loved HTC phones and how fast and smooth they remain, but sadly HTC just seems to be going from bad to worse financially.

I'm loving the mate 20 pro. The battery is amazing. Never had a phone with a batter like this. Screen is great, nice and bright. UI is very smooth and to be honest, I don't have an issue with the UI at all. A couple of minor things but overall is fast and smooth.

The only thing that is weak on the phone is the sound through the loud speaker. Seems a little on the quiet side to me and not as good as the HTC phones. I tried with headphones and that's obviously better, but again, not as good as HTC but good enough.

It is missing WiFi calling, which I had on the HTC. Not sure why there is no WiFi calling, maybe something that will be unlocked in a future update since I read it was available and initially and went away with the first update.

Overall, a great phone.

Congratulations and welcome!

Yes, Huawei cannot match HTCs BoomSound at all or LGs DAC, but they do a good job for most in terms of audio, one of those areas we hope Huawei will push forward in next year, along with better Video Recording.

Absolutely agreed, the battery life is ridiculously good, no other Android Flagship matches the Mate 20, Mate 20 Pro and Mate 20 X in Battery Life

Heck even in the mid range Mate 20 Lite is amazing with its Kirin710 and 3750mAh battery, I was getting about 7-8hours SOT with the Mate 20 Lite, so around the same as what I am getting with the Mate 20 Pro.

I don't see that at all. It is simply missing.

Although it's disabled, I've got WiFi calling available on my Mate 20 pro... View attachment 294850

D'you have any of these options? I'm with EE (Tmobile UK)

[DaveInFL]

Yes, all the others, but Wi-Fi Calling is simply not there.

Must be a carrier option I`d think?

[DaveInFL]

No idea. I bought in unclocked at Car Phone Warehouse in the UK, but I'm using it on the T-Mobile network in the US. My last phone (HTC U11) had the WiFi calling option available, so don't suspect it's anything to do with T-Mobile.

What version of EMUI are you on? My phone is reporting the following:

9.0.0.122(C432E10R1P16patch02)

Looks like I'm on the same version as you

Not sure, are you on Patch02 ? Go into software update and it will show you the patch level also.

This is what I have on my software update screen...

 

[DaveInFL]

Looks like you don't have patch02, and I think that is what removed WiFi calling.

Ugly, bloated icons plus the notch make this phone a no-go, sadly.

"Sadly" because the phone is beautiful and it had excellent battery life.

Oh, and the ****-taking price tag.

The notch can be made non visible via a software setting. It is sleek and basically set the notification icons white on black background.
I use MS launcher and it is excellent.

Honestly can't believe the lack of responses or action on this page...
It was one of the deciding factors why I decided on the Pixel 3XL.
Still very intrigued with this phone tho, definitely the latest and greatest, but, the Pixel has been awesome!!

 

[dc52ltr]

While I was waiting for the release of the 3xl my Son's S7 gave up the ghost. I gave him my 2xl and used an upgrade I had to get the P20 Pro. I enjoyed that phone so much that when my next upgrade was available I got the Mate 20 Pro. Class phone, probably the most advanced phone of the year. It does most(not all) things brilliantly. My Sons, including the one who has the 2xl were so impressed that they both got themselves a Mate 20 Pro, one of them had had nothing but iPhones for the last 12 years or so and now says he wouldn't go back to ios.

Enjoy Jeetu, its a great device

Jeetu let me know if you think its worth buying over note 9 as I am also using note 9. Like many I am also intrigued by pixel 3xl camera but hate that notch... till now only phone that I like more than note 9 is iPhone xs max... but it's not worth almost double the price of note 9 for which it retails in India...but for my use that's the most complete phone I have ever used ...

 

[Jaskaran Bhatia7]

Got my phone yesterday night. Till now I am loving this phone...

 

[gnote2tmo]

I have the note 9 since launch and now the mate 20 pro for about 2 weeks. I'm selling the note! Enough said, never had such an awesome phone with super battery life, performance, always stays cool to the touch, also love the way it feels in the hand, much much better than the brick feeling note. Shame on Samsung for barely giving me 5ish hours screen on time in just 9 hours of usage before dying. The mate consistently gives me 8 to 10 hours screen time over a 24 hour period!!! Also, the phone is way smoother than the note.

Indeed!

It is now 8:30PM, I took my phone off charge at 8AM today, that's over 12 hours usage, I am still at 51%, I can probably get another work day out of it but I'll charge it tomorrow around mid-day

It's so good it should be illegal.

By this point my Note8 would have been around 15%.
