Well my Mate 20 Pro started showing the green tint issue, which was tolerable at first, but because I imported it to the US I didn't want to take the risk of getting another green screen, or the one I had getting worse and then being outside of the return period.
My Oneplus 6T 8gb got here yesterday and is making me realize just how bad EMUI really is. Touchwiz to EMUI wasn't that bad of a shock, but stock android to EMUI is. Just the difference in getting notifications again is relieving. The Oneplus feels just as snappy as the Mate 20 Pro did also, no signs of lag or hesitation. Another benefit for me, because I am using T-Mobile US, is the optimization the Oneplus has for my network. I am getting much greater LTE speeds, WiFi Calling, and VoLTE again. Not deal breakers, but very nice to have them back.
I am going to miss the battery life; 6t doesn't seem bad, but the Mate was insane. Honestly the battery life was so good, the 40w charging ended up being a non-feature for me. I never need to top the phone off quickly as I never saw below 30% battery, even with 8 hours screen on time at one point. The camera on the Oneplus isn't horrible, but I will miss all of the options the Mate came with.
In the end the most important thing about a phone is that is does the core things well. Connectivity, calls, messaging and user experience trump all of the other features to me, and the Oneplus does do all of those things better. The UI is so much cleaner than EMUI, and Huawei could really benefit from offering a version of the phone with pure android.
When the price on the Mate 20 Pro drops and the issues have been worked out, I really do think I will revisit the phone and consider purchasing it again.
I forgot to mention...The fingerprint scanner on the Oneplus 6t is worlds better than the Mate 20 Pro. It hasn't missed a scan yet, is just as fast, and positioned much better. All of this with the factory applied screen protector.
I’m essentially in the same boat as you I just haven’t pulled the trigger on the 6t. However that thunder purple is tempting.. My Mate is gone as I couldn’t handle the green, however I miss the phone so much. Are you happy with the 6t or is it just a stop gap for you? And how is the camera is noticeably worse or would you say it’s marginal. That was a key reason for getting the mate I take a lot of photos for work and having a good camera really makes things easier for me.
I've ordered the mate 20 pro but I think I'm going to cancel. Today was the first time I got to test out a demo, while the build quality, and features of the phone are amazing, I really didn't like emui in that 10 min I spent with it. It reminded of the old TouchWiz.
Phone was very snappy but I can tell that the animations were much shorter than other phones and werent as fluid. A mate 20 pro one edition would have been perfect.
Be aware guys... RAM management on the OnePlus is terrible. I am returning it and getting a Mat 20 Pro.

Just sold my Note 9 to buy the mate 20 pro (will be here tomorrow), although I do have the 6t with gcam installed and is a killer combo plus I paid 280 for it through Tmo

Haven't had a chance to take a lot of pictures with it, but I would say it's better than marginal. The ultra-wide and 3x/5x zoom on the mate 20 were killer though. I will definitely miss them. I will be ok giving them up though with everything else you get with Oneplus. I am already rooted with all the root apps I missed installed.
As far as ram management, it looks to be a Pie problem. The 3 phones with Pie, people are complaining about ram management. I just set the apps I don't want killed manually.
I would say the trade-offs from the Mate 20 Pro to the Oneplus side in favor of the Oneplus by just a little. The things you do everyday on your phone are just better on the Oneplus.
I have also replaced my Mate 20 Pro with the 6T due to screen bleeding. Obviously the camera is not as good but the 6T fingerprint scanner is far superior. This will do nicely before the big hitters of early 2019 are released. Hopefully lessons have been learned for the upcoming P30 Pro.
The OnePlus has many advantages over the M20P, with it being on Close to stock Android, better overall user experience, without annoying little things that comes with EMUI 9. The design on both are great and the new "Thunder Purple" on the 6T is stunning.
I just sold my OnePlus 6, will probably now test out the 6T or just wait until next year to see what that brings.
There are obvious issues for some with the M20P, it's most definitely not the best in terms of software and Huawei aren't the best with rolling out updates. (another plus point for OnePlus). However the camera for me is better on the M20P and battery life is just superb. I also appreciate the design and feel of the M20P. Fortunately I have not been affected with the green tint issue & hope it doesn't arise.
I'll hang in there and hope improvements to the UI are made and niggles sorted. As I am very much enjoying the M20P although as previously stated it's not as good as the 6T from a software perspective .
Enjoy your 6T it's a great all round device :good:

6t finger print scanner is slower than mate 20 pro, the sensor is also much larger, they are using the highest speced sensor compared to oneplus mid tier sensor (check teardown)

okay well in my opinion its faster, the animation is just quicker on the oneplus. having removed the animations on the m20p its faster. But nether the less, i am also having doubts about the M20 pro but i dont want to go back to oneplus, its too boring but i know purist like pure android

No sorry I am afraid this is nonsense. The Oneplus 6T scanner is a "TINY" but faster, but I get 100% accurate scan every single time on the Mate 20 Pro. If you don't then you have a screen issue on the Mate or you haven't registered your print properly. And yes, I have also used them side by side.
Thing is, the secure face unlock on the Mate 20 pro is 10x faster than the 6t fingerprint and works with google pay and banking apps so blows it away.
Add to the fact the Mate is a LOT faster and smoother than the 6t with cameras and batter life that destroy it, I could never go for a oneplus.

Thanks for the photo comparison. To me it looks like the Mate 20 pro did a nicer job with the truck. Looking at the letters RAM you can see that they have less glare around them (unless that is a reflection that is actually there)
I thought the default camera did a nicer job with the backyard shot. Leaves look a bit sharper than other cameras but I wonder if it is over saturated. Maybe you can comment on that. Over all I might still go for Mate 20 pro but all are quite good.
I also got rid of the mate 20 pro and purchased the OnePlus 6t 8gb 256.
Yes ultimately the mate 20 pro is better but OnePlus 6t is a nice device.
I hope also to purchased a mate 20 pro in the future as it's such a great device minus the screen obviously lol.
For now I'm happy I guess but could of been happier if I had a fully working Mate 20 pro but after replacements it was time to make a decision

I think the Oneplus app is taking better pictures overall so far. Seems to have better range than the Gcam app. There are like 3 versions I have tried so far and none of them have been mind blowingly better so far.

It's worse on the mate 20 pro... I have a OnePlus 6 as well and the ram management is much more predictable on that.
Although this is just software and may change

If you could be really never go for a OnePlus what is your basis for comparison? YouTube reviews?
I had an entire night side by side with both phones and the OnePlus is just as smooth, unlocks very quickly and still hasn't missed once on the finger print scanner (I registered my fingerprint at least a dozen different times on the Mate 20), and best of all it has root and no crap bloatware installed.
Without question the mate 20 camera is better just because of how many options you have with it.
Battery life I can't really comment on yet as I haven't had it long enough, but 85% left with 1.5 sot seems pretty decent so far.
After a 30 days im still thinking which phone to get.
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.
Thx a lot

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 guys! I'm own a p30 pro 256gb Aurora for 3 weeks and after I saw oneplus 7 pro I have some thoughts to switch..
What u think? Is it worth or not?
What your opinion?
Thank you.
P30 Pro 256gb Aurora Power
Depends on what you want from a phone.
I wouldn't consider a swap myself, but this article details some of the major differences between them:
https://www.stuff.tv/features/oneplus-7-pro-vs-huawei-p30-pro-which-best
What is it you like about the 7 Pro that differs from P30 Pro? I don't see any benefits myself...
I saw a couple video reviews of the 7 pro and the audio quality seems really bad which puts me off. But then again the oneplus will have better root/rom support and has a better screen. I would miss the ultra fast charging of the P30 pro too much to make the switch.. But its preference really.
Does p30 pro supports hdr10+?

I'd hang fire a bit, P30 is awesome but seems like huawei released it 'unfinished'. I think it's true potential will only come to light after a few more updates. I hope so anyway, this was hella lotta cash to have some faulty stuff with it out the box; cartoon wobble issue from front facing cam, red tinge issue, shocking 4k stutter during video panning. Main things for me. However, have taken some of the best pics so far on a smartphone (tried most current flagships), 1080p is good enough and things are improving update by update. I also feel of all the gesture implementations (pixel 3,oplus etc.) huawei nailed it. Hopefully there will be further improvements, enough for me hold on a while yet. If your a root and rom lover op7 gonna tempt you over, won't be long before gcam gives it a boost too. Personally need a phone to work as intended, too much time wasted flashing and putting phone in a less capable state for the sake of some 'enhancement', 'feature'. But yeah, tempted as you maybe, definitely wait a bit, be hard to forgo this camera tech. Have a look into the USB method to get you up to. 153 already. Phone is super smooth after this. Await more cam improvements though. :good:
hi
any new opinions on this topic, I just broke my Honor View 10 and need to replace the phone, P30 pro or OP 7Pro have similar prices (used ones)
P30 pro have better battery life and camera (maybe), but OP 7Pro will have longer support but P30 is getting v2 because of all USA bullcrap and bans ( not sure what that can mean for older P30 and their updates)
P30 Pro is cheaper (used and can find one with 6GB instead of 8GB more expensive variant)
any suggesstions what to get?
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.

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.

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
https://www.notebookcheck.net/Huawe...vs-Huawei-P30-vs-Huawei-P30-Pro.421447.0.html
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 ?
