Hmm P20 Pro is at a totally different class from the other two. The other two may not be even comparable to P20.

What exactly you are looking at? Camera? Gaming? Battery life? Good looking?

Processor and Camera. P20 Pro is still a higher end phone whereas the other two are medium end phone. At most they can be compared to P20 that I am using now.

Edit to add: we have Oppo phones at home as well for my parents-in-law, R11S bought in late 2017 and old R7 in mid 2015. Oppo phones have pretty good quality and the global ROM is rather smooth. It is just the price is on the higher side for new models considering the configuration.

I will not touch Samsung low and mid range phones since Samsung is very good at negative optimization and you can get better alternatives at lower price. Higher end Samsung phones should still be okay.

Based on what you are looking for, maybe opt for an Android One phone.

Not so sure any of the Android One phones (Mi A2 is one of the best?) can last 4 years. More like three years.

In practice, iPhone can probably last 4 or even 5 years with a battery change in between. But you can buy two mid range Android phones at cheaper price to last 6 years.

By all means get the P20 Pro if you choose between the three.

There are not many choices for mid range phones from Singtel. I myself was deciding between Huawei Mate 10, P20 and Oppo R17 for my recontract of SingTel Combo 2 in Dec 2018. My preference is Mate 10 > P20 > Oppo 17 in terms of performance even though the price is in reverse order. Mate 10 64 GB at S$198 but with uSD expansion, P20 128 GB at S$278 but no SD card expansion, S$388 for the R17 128GB. In the end the old Mate 10 model is out of stock so I chose to go with P20.
