I usually go for the latest and the greatest phone and give it a 5 year contract. I'm still using my HTC One (M7) and it's due for a replacement this year. I'm still in the process of selecting my next phone that I will spend the next 5 years with. I thank this channel @frankytech for showcasing all the phones in the market.

[@MauriceTarantulas]

Why you keep them for 4 years😉

[@jcdilan]

@arachniphilia whenever a person buys a phone, there is always an intention to have it for a longer time, that's why we often go for a flagship even if it cost us some money. The performance of the last years flagship is still on par with today's even if the benchmark screams for 20-40% improvements. It's still very responsive and usable. It just so happen that in the past 2 years when there was a massive Chinese takeover of technology that pushed the boundary of the current technology after it stagnate from the previous years.

[@guygyghy76757]

I really trust your judgement! I'm so tempted to get one, If I wasn't saving up for something else this would be my next phone! This is the best implementation of a notch I have ever seen! If USA didn't ban Huawei, they would overtake Samsung in smartphones in a heart beat! Shocking how good cameras have gotten and still getting better! China smartphones have surpassed the giants like samsung, LG, Motorola. Not just in terms of value but in tech. It's only matter of time before the world and mainstream know it. Gone are the times where China need to steal/copy designs from Apple, they are the innovators now and the rest of the market playing catch up! Great review as Always Frankie! I still say have a better intro. I want your channel to have a million subscribers!

[@FrankieTech]

Thanks bro! Yeah I completely agree if Huawei wasn’t banned they’d crush Samsung! Their phones are that good! I’ll see what I can do about the intro, I’ve recently explored a different logo and style but I still like my original logo as well, but definitely will see if I work on a more dynamic one soon!

hi, can you use it as desktop 🖥 mode when you plug it in on a display?

[@wgk544]

I can sense how much Huawei care about the customers. I mean you are more likely to drop the big phones because it is heavier and it is hard to hold the big phones with just one hand. The back texture could be just small change for the manufacturer but it really mean more than that to the customers. Performance and display is just awesome. Ah.... I wish I could try that phone, but my wife will kill me if I buy it. Haha.

[@FrankieTech]

Haha! I feel you bro! But this phone is just really impressive as a big phone overall and yes that texture makes a huge difference. Still put a case on this big boy though!

Frankie, great first review! I am a big fan of large screen phones and the Mate X is the best ever!

[@warakanda7356]

I can't resist waiting for this Huawei mate 20x, as it is with the M-Pen and cheaper than the Galaxy Note 9.. I have been using the galaxy note series since the note 3, I think this is an opportunity to try other brand similar to the Galaxy Note series but with better battery life, seems powerful and indeed its cheaper... Hopefully, in future Huawei will allow the M-Pen to be inserted into the device. Tq Huawei..

[@Thunderhawk51]

Huawei has done so many things right lately. Battery life, super charger in the box, case in the box, adapter in the box for those who need it, cameras, processors, speakers and big screens. I'm not a "fanboy" of any brand, but I sure like what Huawei is doing here. They just need to get rid of the notch in their smaller devices. In Mate 20 X it doesn't bother me all that much but I still wish it wasn't there. I'm upgrading my Mate 9 to Mate 10 Pro because I got one pretty cheap and because I wanna try 18:9 Aspect ratio before judging it. I also want a glass back phone. And not pay too much. Who knows, maybe I'll go with Mate 20 X next year when it's cheaper. I seem to always go with last year models anyway. 😋

Only thing I am trying to figure out, how just gpu Turbo work on this phone, doesn't have button like the note 10...I feel for pubG this phone will be fantastic if I can figure out why they won't let me set HD in game, the honor note 10 plays PubG in HD fantastic. So for right now for big pubG players the honor note 10 is best.

Thanks Ryan I appreciate it! That’s the main point between the China and the Global ROM, it’s not so much the Google apps and language support (which can generally be adjusted easily) it’s really the band support for LTE, 3G and 2G networks. The Global (Hong Kong) has almost every band you would need, that’s why it’s worth waiting for the Global version sometimes.
