Switching from LG or Samsung... things to know!

Ok, well maybe it was just been the setup I had. I was talking about the stock mail app, not the Gmail app by the way.

My Hotmail came through immediately but Gmail was delayed. In the sync settings I found (under Hotmail), there were settings like 'Every 30 minutes', Every 15 minutes', 'Manual' and 'When received (Push)'.

Gmail had the same but no push option. I had a quick search and someone on XDA had confirmed this was the case with the Mate 10 pro (link below), so just assumed it was a limitation of the Huawei app. I was using the very early firmware so maybe it was that.

Push notifications? What is this, 2010? A top of the line, late-2018 smartphone cannot handle Gmail push?

Exactly why I mentioned it, if someone can screenshot the sync option for a Gmail account that includes a push option, I'll be happy to be proven wrong (using the Huawei email app of course).

I'm not trying to put this phone down by the way, I'm annoyed that I had to sell it due to a few shortcomings and would love Huawei to get them sorted. I want a phone with an under display sensor (because I'm a nerd), a massive battery and versatile camera. It's frustrating that the hardware is way ahead of the competition but the software has some glaringly large holes - really hope they hear the moaning and get it sorted.
