I think I heard you mention that this is not a flagship phone. Is this because you are thinking of the Mate as the flagship?

Even without google support Huawei is killing it. They really took photography to the next level with P40. And I often download apps from third party that's not that big of a problem!

[@seriousaleks8752]

I hope you see this: Sooo how often do you have to update everyday apps like KZbin Instagram etc ? Is it a pain in the A** ?

Finally, Huawei is starting to mature in its software and applications. It's still not as developed as Google's, but Huawei has a great future without Google.

yes...for example I live in Malaysia and i dont find not having gms a great deal of a problem since Facebook, WhatsApp, Twitter, Instagram, Ytube Vance can work independantly without gms...for cloud service, maybe it will be a hassle for those using Drive..for banking purposes, huawei own appgallery has already every banking apps available....only navigation would be a problem but it will be a big deal for grab users or people depending on maps navigation...but overall, i can see the possibility of breaking out from the google-reliant chain

[@VpB27]

It should compared with P40pro + and S20 Ultra..

[@presidentorange9051]

The P40 no doubt is gonna win. The S20 is garbage.

[@faszomebbeaszarba]

s20 is indeed garbage. you may not believe me, but you can see it for yourselves if you go and compare it, and you can get your hand on an old Huawei P20, that the S20 Ultra's image quality is just not better then the P20. The only difference is the shallow depth of field due to the large sensor. its not sharper, doesn't have better dynamic range. i compared them using auto mode, hdr off, ai off, basically everything off. and yeah, the cheaper members of the S20 series didn't do any better. if you have an older flagship, be it a huawei, a oneplus, a samsung, an iphone, just go to a store, and compare them yourselves.

[@victorrumyantsev3718]

The price is too damn high basically for just great camera. Hassle with Google services, absence of stereo speakers and ugly pill-shaped punch hole on the curved screen are deal breakers for me. All things considered plus looming deep financial crisis, I prefer to keep my old good P20 Pro. Sure it is slower but not much worse camera, still 2 days battery life, awesome speakers and nice flat screen make my mind to keep it.

[@PedroRodrigues-my2ji]

Agree.. 2 year flagships are still great phones .. But .........

[@reubensaraiva8184]

I also have p20 pro. Our phone started at 800 and this is about 900 (in UK). Therefore I'd say this is far more reasonable than others in the same price range. It is a beautiful design, so I would upgrade just for the slim bezels and curvy screen

[@CiprianFx59]

sooo...the CEO was saying that the design will be something the world has never seen before, well he was right I still can't see it :)) no qhd, no steel frame, no 120hz, no stereo speakers and no normal earpiece? that vibration shit again....I was completely fine with my mate 10, but this is just dissapointing, not to mention you can't use netflix or gpay. Was secretly hoping to come back to Huawei and they were hiping this device a lot, but for now oneplus has the edge in everything.

[@vince_c]

And also it looks like an s10 5g and s20 ultra. Yet they talk about original design.

[@arispanagiotopoulos2533]

Nice review as always but since the new Huawei phones don’t carry Google apps and ain’t available officially outside China I don’t see the point of dealing with it. Whatever interest on it is purely academical. And this monstrous notch is horrendous and blocks proper view on the screen plus the absence of stereo speakers is inexcusable for a flagship.

Debatable. The s20 ultra and Iphone 11 pro max arguably are better at taking certain pics. Selfies, ultra wide, any type of video are much better on the s20 ultra and Iphone. Even the telephoto on the ultra was better do to more pixels and higher resolution. The only thing Huawei does better is night shots.

I'm not convinced about Huawei build quality after my Mate 20 Pro decided to delaminate after 15 months. It's never been dropped and wasn't in particularly warm conditions, it's May and I'm in the UK, but the back just randomly decided to become unglued, then a week later it no longer accepted a charge. Back to Samsung for me. My last Galaxy Note lasted me 4 years, then got passed onto my son who has had it for another 15 months and the only issue was needing to replace the battery, which was easy when phones had replaceable batteries.

I have a mate 20 pro nearly 3 years. I dropped it all the time. I ended up cracking both sides but still working away no prob
