    Who's upgrading to the P30 Series?

    Yeah, I don't usually bother looking at IP ratings too, and similar to yourself I just treat any device that I purchase as effectively having an IP00 rating, but then again, I've never spent £699 on a phone. If I'm looking at a £699 phone, I want that guarantee that it isn't going to be damaged...

    Who's upgrading to the P30 Series?

    The IP53 issue is probably a non-issue to be completely honest, I just know that resistance degrades over time (how quickly, I don't know) and that an IPX3 rating doesn't actually mean splash proof, it means spray proof, yet, the P30 and other devices with an IPX3 rating are sold as 'splash...

    Who's upgrading to the P30 Series?

    The P30 Pro does, the P30 doesn't though, unfortunately.

    Who's upgrading to the P30 Series?

    As tempting as the P30 is despite liking the OLED display, the in screen fingerprint scanner and the camera setup, ... I just can't bring myself to splash out £700 on a phone with only IP53 dust and splash proofing, STILL no 4k/60fps recording, and STILL no wireless charging!

    P30/P30 Pro

    I wouldn't be surprised, they did for the Mate 20 Pro didn't they?

    Auto-align and shake

    Just wondering if the 2 features in the title work for anyone else with a Huawei/Honor device with Android 9? My brother has an Honor Play with Android 9 and I have a Huawei P20, P20 Pro and Mate 10 Pro all with Android 9 and neither auto-align or shake work, I'm sure it all worked with Android...

    Best huawei phones

    Most innovative: Huawei Mate X Best camera: Huawei Mate 20 Pro Best price to performance (though it comes down to where you are): Huawei P20 Pro Although I still wouldn't look past the Huawei Mate 10 Pro, Honor V10, Honor 10, and Honor Play.

    Pie in the UK

    I received the update just over a month ago on both my unlocked P20 and P20 Pro and... to be honest... it's all just a bit 'meh'. Sure, the memory management seems a little better and now the camera can estimate calories and my phone can tell me that I have used it enough for that day and can't...

    Pie in the UK

    Really hope the P20 and P20 Pro get smart rotate and intelligent screen on finally with EMUI 9.0. Takes the **** that the Honor V10 has software features that Huawei flagships don't.

    Weird gallery behavior

    My old phone (Swift 2X) used to do that when it couldn't access images stored on the SD card.

    Photos taken with your P20 Pro

    Honestly, I'm no expert but for indoor and outdoor day time point and shoot, the photo mode is your best bet, aperture mode is really simple to use too to add some bokeh effects but you lose AI scene recognition. For moving subjects, if you want to capture some motion blur type effect, you're...

    Photos taken with your P20 Pro

    Sorry, got the steps a bit wrong before, it was all done on the phone - 1. Take picture in aperture mode. 2. Open the picture that you just took. 3. Tap the little 'wide aperture effects' icon in the top right. Here, you can refocus and adjust aperture. 4. Tap 'Filter', set filter to mono to...

    I'm confused. Please help me get the right P20 Pro version.

    It's weird with Huawei, there isn't any GSM frequency locking/unlocking between the different versions, it was the same with the Mate 10 Pro - L04, L09, L29, AL00 and AL01 all have exactly the same GSM frequencies unlocked, the difference is that some have CDMA unlocked (used for Verizon and...

    I'm confused. Please help me get the right P20 Pro version.

    Are you looking at the prices in CAD? https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07FGDZLL6/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A3DWYIK6Y9EEQB&psc=1&tag=hawk-future-ca-20&ascsubtag=UUacUvbUpU6385658 That one sold by amazon.ca, whilst more expensive than the marketplace sellers on Amazon, it doesn't seem that...
