I love using my phone for photography and as my daily driver I use the note 8 which has a dual camera on and quality is amazing even in low light however I have been looking at the p20 pro the only thing which puts me off is the lack of a memory card
Question has anyone made a similar move ?
How do you find the lack of memory card slot ?
Any issues with the phone??
How quick are the phone updates
The 40mp camera interested me but I don't want to regret the move
Thanks

I did exactly this and have no regrets at all. Phone actually feels nicer in the handand 128gb is actually enough storage for me. Only had about 50gb of data between internal memory and my sd card on the More anyway.
Camera is great too though not a night and day difference if I'm honest. Is the only one I've used that can match Samsung for focus speed.
Performance feels smoother in general use. Samsung experience is still a little sluggish even after all these years.
Battery life is much better. Wasn't impressed with Note 8 longevity at all. Screen isn't as vibrant but it's still very nice.
I like the front fingerprint sensor better because I can unlock the phone without picking it up.
Can't speak for updates yet though. Only had the phone a week. Time will tell though the Mate 9 wasn't too bad on that front.
Hope this helps, feel free to ask me any other questions.

I had move from Note 8 to s9+ and now to p20 pro...
You have to find out what you prefer most.
For my daily use i prefer p20 pro for excellent photos (I never take videos and if I will then fhd video is very good but not as Note 8 or s9+), front fingerprint with gestures (no use of nav bar), ir blaster, huge battery (30% up to Note 8 & 15-20% to S9+), excellent build quality and screen as Samsung,great signal - wifi...
If you used to work with spen then forget it and stay with Note 8 until Note 9 comes out but if you don't use it then think if you want S9+ or P20 pro... This 2 phones are so, so, so perfect....

coming from s9+ to p20 pro havent found any problem yet.
about camera quality its already been proven alot of times p20 pro blast all mobile camera as of today https://www.dxomark.com/category/mobile-reviews/
if your using spen too much dont change its the only feature note 8 has over other mobiles.
camera quality is no better than note 8/s9 plus, front camera and video recording are mediocre to say the least, stick to your Note 8, Note 9 is few months away

Had an s9 for a couple of weeks, moved to p20 pro and now back to the s9 plus.
P20 pro is greatly over hyped.
The Bluetooth performance for me was a deal breaker as I couldn't run any headphones without stutter.
The touchscreen deadzone made things difficult when I had to use citrix or anything that required precise movements.
Camera is extremely inconsistent. It Can take good photos but you either need to use pro mode or get very lucky in auto.
I'll miss the battery and faster charging but that's about it

I had both, sold my note 8 yesterday. The infinity display is old news and causes more issues than it solves. No phone these days feels like a cheap toy unless you pay £50 for it so please don't spread nonsense.
As for "being" cheap and toys, that's definitely the Samsungs. They can't compete with the P20 Pro except with a memory card option.
P20 screen is better considering it's 1080p, better uniformity, no colour shift or red / pink issues. Sounds better than the Note. Takes better pictures by a mile. Lasts 8 hours SOT every single day for me. Note lasted 4-5 hours SOT.

Can't say I agree here. I use the Bose headphones, Sony, and phillips bluetooth headphones, Zero stutter. The camera is more consistent than my Pixel 2 XL.
S9+ shoddy battery life and shoddy photos meant it only lasted me a few days.
TO THE OP ) - Try it, and ensure you have 14 days to send it back, but I have extensively tested it along side the Note 8, S8+, Pixel 2 XL and the S9 and I can tell you if you know how to use the phone without AI on, ie when to use HDR mode, or just shoot auto, you'll not regret it. )
It is a little stuttery though. The phone itself not the camera.
Whatever happens, the Note 8 is as good as the S9+ if not better in most depts.
Went from P20 Pro to S9, missing lighting-fast face recognition, camera zoom & huge battery, everything else better on S9.

Will have to agree to disagree
Pixel 2 does a lot better in daylight shots as does the s9
Only place the p20 camera does better is extreme low light however something you said I do agree with.
You can take better pictures with the p20 but as I said, it's a poor point and shoot.
S9 is MUCH better for that but if you can use manual mode, p20 has a higher ceiling.
My use case doesn't work with that, by the time km done fudging the settings the moment is gone.
My p20 screen has major uniformity issues but that seems to be a lottery these days.
I 100% agree try both, 14 days should be plenty to decide.
For me. The advantages of the s9 way outweigh the advantage of battery and manual camera.
Bluetooth is poor, maybe I live in a high interference area but both s9 and pixel have 0 problems.
If you play games that scrolling deadzone will make life very difficult
Of course the battery difference will be more pronounced going from note 8 to p20 than s9 to p20
I had a note and ditched it for the awful battery
What's this dead zone that people are talking about? Haven't noticed any such thing, how do I test for it?
By the way Bluetooth turned to crap on my Note 8 after the Oreo update. Would not sync automatically to my car and I'd have to fiddle around hitting the connect button a few times until it would eventually work.
Maybe I'll try Samsung again when the Note 9 comes out. Not sure. Many good things about their phones but the curved display got old after a while.

It's this
I made a decision and purchased the mate ten pro I have to say I love it only downside is no memory card expansion but the camera is awesome I thought the note 8 was brilliant I love the AI
I played with the p20 pro however I wasn't working out the cost I purchased the p10 pro for £250 less
I have taken loads of pics and the AI gets it right almost all of the time
If anyone wants a superb branded Huawei I heartily recommend the p10 pro

Will trade you my p20 and s9 for the pups
I can't make mine do it. Could it be a software issue that's been fixed on my version? Or are they shipping inferior hardware to some parts of the world?
Is that on the p20 pro or p10 pro
I just point at something and it works it out have took loads of shots and it's not faulted once

I switched from the S8 Plus .. I was thought of waiting for the Note 9 to arrive, but was going to jump on the S9 Plus instead... That's until I started watching the review videos for the P20 Pro.. So I went with my gut and jumped on the P20 Pro .. After a week of using it, I'm impressed.. Battery life is remarkable..
1) 14 hour work day with moderate usage and I have 65% battery life left ..
2) Facial recognition fastest I've seen yet..
3) Where I would normally have bad reception through AT&T in certain areas and inside buildings, appear to not be there anymore.
4) I have not had it act sluggish at all.. No matter what I'm throwing at it and with many apps open in the background..
5) Camera .. Just Wow !!..
The only negative things are: No SD card slot and No head phone jack .. But the other stuff sure makes up for it ..
You can mitigate the lack of headphone jack with a USB C Charging and 3.5mm adaptor from Amazon for about £8. Works perfectly. Personally I use AirPods 99% of the time but I like the option of using wired headphones at night, as I tend to stick my phone in airplane mode.
Battery life is definitely better than the Note 8 but I found the Note 8 absolutely abysmal in terms of its battery life, so that's no great surprise.
The AI is very iffy. As a point and shoot I'd rather use an iPhone 8, Samsung or Pixel. The P20 Pro just gets it wrong too often - for example it will turn on Portrait Mode for shots if it spots a face but there are very few scenarios where I actually want to use their janky fake bokeh. It'll also turn on a 'scanner' mode if it sees a label - so the other day I took a picture of a beer and it just produced a crop of its label! You can turn off AI but the pictures then just look a lot blander and less dynamic than the Pixel. Pro mode is fun and produces excellent results but I rarely have time for that.
Software updates are my biggest concern. I'm genuinely worried that Huawei are very poor with software updates - particularly with carrier devices like my EE model. I'm already still on the March security update and hearing that other people have a new version with new improvements. It's almost like Project Treble was just a dream that I woke up from.
i have both s9 plus and p20 pro and i both use them everyday and compare them side by side together. taking pictures p20 pro is a no brainer its better than s9 plus its even proven in dx0 mark website so you really dont have to do experiments on how to properly take a picture and get the best result out of it. battery everybody knows p20 pro is better i before my s9plus i had note 8 im a heavy user my note 8 coming out of charge from full just in less than an hour my batts already around 97 almost same as my s9 plus.. about the 3.5mm jack issue i always use my bluetooth headsets so not a problem. sd card even 64gb is enough for me considering i have googlephotos and i upload all my photos automatically and delete all of if i need space locally

I'm switching from my current Mate 20 Pro to the 1/12 S10+. The main, and pretty much only reason is storage: as I need Dual SIM, I just can't expand my 128GB to anything more, unless I use something OTG-related. God bless this Hybrid SIM slot stupidity. I'll miss some great Mate 20 Pro stuff I guess, such as
- battery. I seriously doubt I'll get something better there, there are already voices around stating the S10+ eats battery like a mad when used with 2 SIMs
- IR sensor. Old tech, but so handy sometimes
- Face recognition. The S10+ is supposed to use something similar to what the Mate 10 Pro got at a later point, nowhere as powerful as the Mate 20's 3D facial recognition. The Mate 20 Pro detects my face even with zero light, the Mate 10 Pro didn't and I guess the 10+ won't either.
- I'm not a great fan of those ugly, giant, round Samsung icons, but themes are not that far away...

sounds like the Mate20 is a much better advantage to a s10+. Since storage is the only issue, have you considered cloud storage? I can't think what could take up 128gb, but then again I don't have big file sized games running.
I tested the phones, S10 Plus, Mate 20 Pro (I have it) and S10:
- Huawei display (boe) is more colored than s10 plus/s10 even on Vivid colors settings for Samsung!!! (for ex. S8 has more saturated colors)
- Camera: both cameras (front and rear) are much worse than M20 Pro. I took same pictures with both and compared on phones displays and also on 4K QLED TV Samsung/LG 4K TV. M20 Pro is the winner from far, I don't know how they get 109 points on dxomark.....Front facing camera got more details on M20 Pro, both phones on 0 Beauty Face Mode. Also the zoom mode is more detalied on M20 Pro. I didn't test the video recording.
- Speed: both phones are the same but the S10 plus was empty....

DXO is not a reliable source in my opinion, many people actually stated the same thing.
Even in unbox therapy, he stated that the selfie camera wasn't that great.
I've seen the s10 in the store and wasn't impressed, will try to test it more
As expected almost everyone is believing the hype from Sammy. It has been like that ever since until first adopters starts complaining here and there. DX0 rating means nothing to me and has never influenced my decision to buy the phone I want. S10-series punch holes looks ugly to me as well as those terrible looking icons. I prefer using the stock launcher all the time so those icons are an absolute turn off to me. They say EMUI is ugly but look at Sammy's latest UI its as if they are following Xiaomi's footsteps as far as UI design is concerned. No pun intended.
The funny part? Mine mate 20 x with many apps installed and working in background, was faster than demo GS10 with no app
I've seen videos where the S10+ battery is much much better than the M20 Pro.
But I share my concerns about the face unlock, it is one of the best features of the M20 Pro.

I never judge battery from those videos, as real world usage is quite different.
When i had my galaxy s7, a lot of the time, Android System consumed the battery and the SOT got worse with Nougat.
Never happened on the Mate 9 or 20 Pro/X.
I think the batery is almost identical,i have 7,5-8h sot in a full day of usage

I have now Mate 20 Pro and I can give my phone and 200EUR for S10 Plus or P30 Pro.
Yes I know difference between them on paper. But how is in really life? I read here on XDA they are so many people who used P30 Pro and S10 Plus.
So please what are you think of this two phones? What at end is better to choose for you?
P. S. Im heavy usere, and I love camera. I know that they said P30 Pro is better in photos and S10plus in video, but they are post by people who wrote that P30 Pro video is not far behind S10 Plus and etc...
I am grateful to everyone who helps. And please tell your honest answers if you used both phones. Without Huavei or Samsung fans.

I currently have both the S10+ and P30 Pro. For my use, the P30 Pro battery life makes all the difference. Being able to use the phone all day and stilll have 30-40% battery available when I go to bed is is amazing. With the S10+ I would have battery anxiety starting around 8 pm. I'm not that concerned about the P30+ lackluster video performnace and still hope a software update will make it better.
So how much is bad P30 Pro video? (i see some videos comparisons but thats all was when P30 Pro have pre-release software).
What about photos?

Its not all bad... just doesn't have 4K 60FPS & a true slow motion mode at high resolution... I don't video a lot and 1080p usually meets my needs...
As someone put it, it's about the whole package... Battery, photo camera, design, etc.
Does the phone do some things exceptional and other stuff not so much, yes...
Overall, at least IMO and my use case, best phone on market currently...
Its subjective and if you have never had a Huawei device, going from Samsung or other, it maybe a bit jarring especially EMUI because you have to do a lot of settings changes to get it to do everything at times the way you want it to... I however enjoy the ability to change some much.... Most of the changes relate to the phone keeping the best in class battery performance, so if I want to make a change at the cost of battery life, I like being the one making that decision and not the other way around.
Other minor annoyances have a purpose behind them... but they are only annoyances if it bothers you for your use case and not understanding the reasoning (which most times is actually well thought out)
I haven't enjoyed an Android phone so much that it has me looking for the next thing.... I really could care less about the OnePlus release already knowing it won't top the P30 pro's camera... Same possibly with the Note 10... that means until the new Pixel phone come into more focus or the new iPhone, I won't be changing... for myself to keep a phone for that long is unheard of in this disposal android market...
I had S10+ nice phone but battery was terrible. Very happy with p30 pro
Considering you already have the mate 20 pro, I would wait for the mate 30 pro as the change from mate 20 pro to p30 pro is a minor upgrade.
P30 Pro is very nice Phone and fast look this vs SD855

Better build quality, better screen, better video recording (4K 60fps/HDR), stereo speakers, Samsung Pay, MicroSD expansion, better UI, better front cameras, headphone jack, etc.
Three things I like more about the p30 pro...
Battery life, low light performance and the zoom capabilities.
Did someone have both phones, so he can take same several photos in day light and x5 and x10 zoom.
So we can compare it.

I do actually have both - an Aurora Blue single SIM P30 Pro and a Prism White dual SIM S10+.
No point comparing the zoom though, as the S10 only has 2X and anything else is just basic digital cropping. The 5X zoom in the P30 Pro is fairly poor quality in my personal opinion - you can get decent enough shots in bright light but the dynamic range is a lot poorer than the main lens, there's a lot more fringing and it just isn't as sharp. The 10-50X zoom is fun, but ultimately the pictures are unusable but for anything other than the gimmick factor. The wide angle lens is better on the S10 than the P30 Pro, and in my opinion you get a much more reliable 'snapshot' front he S10+ when you don't want to think too much. Things like focus speed and overall ability to grab an action shot are just (IMO) better on the S10+
Battery life is almost identical for me but I switch off Huawei's power management for most apps via Settings, Battery, App Launch. If I don't do this then apps like Google Photos and my security camera software simply don't work properly - even apps that use audio playback (for videos) when the screen is off get switched off by default after a few minutes in EMUI. This brutal battery management is why Huaweis have such good stamina out of the box, but once you disable it and ensure all your apps work properly then the difference becomes negligible. Remember that there's only 100mAh more capacity in the P30 Pro.
The software is in my opinion much nicer on the Samsung - yes you can hide some things with Nova Launcher, but the little touches like the slicker notification popups, the more user-friendly lockscreen, the more slickly designed notification area, Edge Lighting etc make for a nicer day-to-day experience to my mind. I even like the fact that you can turn off the fingerprint unlock indicator on the S10+; on the P30 Pro the indicator lights up every time you move the phone, as well as every time you unlock (and it's *very* bright at night). I've run a display test and I find that a small patch where the fingerprint scanner resides is slightly shifting in tone compared to the rest of the display, and I'm concerned that this is screen burn caused by regular unlocking.
My S10+ has also had April security for a couple of weeks. My P30 Pro is still on March, despite being released in April (!). I'm not all that happy with Huawei's update reliability, and even to get this March update I had to use a PC.
I will say that Night Mode on the P30 Pro is really good, I like the overall feel-in-hand and it is nice and smooth to use. I still like the P30 Pro but between the two I think the S10+ has the edge - not just for the things I listed earlier.
Hi everyone ...
Well I always wanted the P30 pro and after all the mess happing I went bought the S10 plus so I had an offer to exchange mine with a 256gb 2y warranty P30 pro, and I was almost doing it till I came here and saw camera score for the P30 pro much lower than the S10 plus and made me go back .
My love for the p30 pro is the camera so after seeing the scores here I was disappointed and wanted to know if anyone have any experience with these 2 devices ....
Thanks alot
Hi,
Just do it! I did it last week with my S10+ and I really love the P30 pro!
I'm gonna tell you right now, if your one of those people following DXO mark scores...just stop! The P30 Pro beats the S10 plus in image quality no doubt about it. Video is doubtful tho. If your after better image quality, get the P30 Pro. Easy decision.

You gotta stop worrying about benchmark scores and numbers and just get the user experience yourself. The benchmarks mean nothing in day to day performance. Every camera will have some sort of tone to it, especially in low light. I don't think you'll regret it for a second to be honest.

Ya just saw it in the shop and woow the camera really saw big diff same shot with both phones and mine felt like a 2017 model . Thanks alot gonna be changing
Hi first bought a p30 pro, I then exchange it for a s10plus and after a day or two I wanted my p30 pro back. I almost had to beg the guy to please swapped back. Huawei in my opinion is miles away ahead of Samsung currently.
My wife did the same as you. She was Samsung all her life but wanted the p30 pro after seeing my pictures. At the last minute she got a Samsung s10 plus. She likes it but she does concede that the p30 pro camera is miles ahead.
For what it's worth I've always found that the Samsung cameras are given far more credit than they deserve.
Almost as if because they're so popular their scores are boosted so sites and publications don't lose their traffic.
As said before the s10 beats it in video but that's because the p30 pro is pretty damn basic when it comes to video.

I am not into video maybe few but not that much. But for me it's all about photos. But then they say benchmark score s10 way better screen too and saw or they r saying camera has green tone to it . And finally HDR in camera is worst than S10 but I really love the phone ... that's why need opinion cos dont wanna rush and regret though I love it from my p20 pro .

Both phones are pretty much on par in terms of image quality. Buy the P30 Pro if you really want the 5x optical zoom. Buy the S10 if you want better video, better slomo, better app, and prob gcam support.

Disagree somewhat there.
Only on par in bright outdoor conditions. Anything else and the p30 pro wins with stills.
Had them both, and a few times, as I am very unstable when it comes to phones ). P30 Pro is better in image quality, worse in videos, like all before me already said. The photos are sharper and more attractive and saturated, with punchy colors and eyecatching clarity. The zoom is impecable. If you want the photos to look like the ones from S10Plus, then when you open the Camera app, see above the option to take Standard photos, not Vivid. And they will look almost like the ones from S10 plus. Other than this, P30 Pro wins at battery life, charging speed. S10 Plus wins with the interface (One UI) and Screen quality. Also videos.
Found this review yesterday, their results conclude that the P30 Lite wins for selfie pics, P30 wins for normal daylight pics, and P30 Pro for low light

Only thing p30 pro is better (in minimum aspects) is the camera and battery life. All the others points s10 plus is far away better. Screen, construction, thickness, sound, ultra Sonic fingerprint, one ui, heart rate sensor and a bunch of other stuffs.
I did the same thing lol ,I sold my s10plus and get p30 pro. S10PLUS battery life not what I expect , finger unlock no good and easy getting warm.
I am using p30 pro for four months now very satisfied. But don't get me worng s10plus still a amazing phone. I miss 3.5 mm phone jack and sd card slot
Why not have both?!

Thanks all of you..
Well today I made the switch...
And I am happy I did...
Yes S10+ has better screen but that didn't bother me as p30 pro screen is still good.
Fingerprint felt p30 pro much much better than Samsung.. In Samsung lots of times need to press twice and few times 3 times.. It was really annoying for me! In the p30 pro till now didn't had to try twice it always unlock fro first try...
Can't say about video camera cos I don't care about video but photos felt p30 pro way much better even in day light there was much detail in the p30 pro all was in auto setting. And the bokeh in p30 pro way much better than s10+..
I don't know why here in xda on the s10+ page camera score is higher than p30 pro.. That what made me step back on buying it.
Speakers maybe not that loud but they are good and in screen speaker also great...
Now I don't have my s10+ anymore but I'll compare it with my brothers note 9 camera but I know p30 pro will beat it esally...
Once again thank you all for the feedback...
IRL i found image quality of photos better on p30 pro and definatly in low light. The thing is video quality is slightly better on the S10(+) and it has more options (4k60).
Do people still like the phone, even though you cannot unlock the BL anymore and thus no more root, custom roms and tweaks?
Is it worth for 340€? I bought one on sale online, and now I am pondering whether I should send it back or not.
Many people opt for Xiaomi Mi 9 / Mi 9T Pro in these price regions, but to be honest, I also tried that one. But regarding photo shooting and video recording and sound it is not on the P20 Pro level.
Good battery, excellent photos and Emui, you'll get used to it...
Wait until March to get Android 10.
For that price it's a very good all-round phone.
People go for xiaomi due to custom roms. P20 pro is a great device, especially at that price!

Well, you gotta unlock your BL there, in which case you lose your guarantee. But well, it is an huge argument favoring the Xiaomi. I don't think it is so important for my mother to frickle around the software.
Mi 9 has very bad low light performance compared to the P20 Pro. I have the P20 Pro for 2 years now and I have no intention of switching. The fingerprint sensor under the screen is such a good idea to navigate through the OS that I honestly felt it's abscence during a brief period of using the S9 plus and Mate 20 Pro. For video it can be very good but only if you use an app with manual video settings like Open Camera.

Choose S9+, p20 pro is not as good as what we can read on internet or YouTube.
Personally I switched from an S8+ to Redmi K20, I was happy ( Redmi camera is not as good ass S8+) and today I changed my k20 with a P20 Pro, the phone is good but not at the same level than S9+ of my friend I think ( camera also is better on S9+)
Honestly, I regret it.
what the best rom for this phone ? without emui

Camera is better on s9+? lmao
The only advantage that s9 plus has is the edge screen, wireless charging, headphone jack, the amoled screen is a better quality but not such a big difference and pretty much it.
Battery,camera and performance wise, p20 pro mops the floor with the s9 plus (unless it uses the snapdragon chipset then they are toe-to-toe)

I'm test the p20 pro and writing you from IT. I can compare it to my old S8+.
Battery losts 10% in 40min, it's really bad compared to 1h30 on S8+ ( A little less on the S9+) accu battery detects a healthy battery.
P20 pro camera is a little bit sharper but my old S8+ is way better with colors, high dynamics range (Especially this point), autofocus. Vidéo, microphone, screen are much better on S9.
OneUi is light years ahead Emui 9.1 and I'm impatient for Emui 10 ?

Who isn't. Still, i like the p20 pro, not a huge fan of the edge screen that the s9 plus has. Anyway, if the android solution doesn't solve up with the trade war thing, i am porting to another device. Big shame that Huawei gets the bat when they make pretty good phones and keep the competition high
There is no way to get the S9 Plus for 340€ new....
S9+ with Exynos processor does not last a whole day. It's honestly really bad at battery life and also full of bloatware. It does, however, have a great video mode with very smooth zoom compared to the jagged zoom on the P20. Photos seem better on the P20 Pro though.

Don't have s9+ but s8+ exynos has good battery life.
And it was just a software issue yesterday on my p20 pro, now I'm at
80% with 2h45 on screen, it's even better then my Xiaomi MI 9t ?
S9 recived software updates for camera and I compared it with my p20p.
Between flagship the camera quality is very close, the size of the camera's sensor in the smartphones not have much margin to have a huge difference ?
