completed my first 24 hours with the mate 10 pro, coming from a different brand (sony) for more than a decade.
1. LOVE the huge screen without large bezels, maximizing the screen area. the phone is only slightly larger than my previous z5, but has a much bigger usable screen (6" vs. 5.2") so it didn't feel much different for the change. but it is a tad heavier (178g vs 154g). will need to get used to heavier premium phones...
2. great battery life - was using it quite intensively with web, Instagram, facebook, listening to music (not stream), chrome, firefox, productivity apps like calendar... still got plenty of juice at night.
3. like the back case (jelly) which came with it. doesn't cover the colour (midnight blue) and is not thick or cheap looking either.
What I don't like (for now):
1. erratic Bluetooth functionality... can't get a stable connection between my smartwatch (garmin 935) and the phone. must always open the connect app before they can be connected. not sure why... have override the app management to manual instead of auto (suspect it auto cut-off the connection whenever the app is closed).
2. the screen protector somehow doesn't cover the screen fully. not sure why?! even the one sold by Huawei concept store is also the same. there's an obvious gap (a few mm) around the whole border.
3. previously on mini-usb and not used to usb-c so have to buy new accessories like adaptors and cables (ok just need to get used to new tech I suppose)
overall a fantastic phone! my colleague was commenting "har? Huawei?" the typical reaction towards china brands. i was telling her they have already overtaken apple in terms of sales... hopefully the brand will be more accepted in time to come. good potential.
now hoping the software part will improve from time to time. am still getting used to the new UI...
midnight blue is a fantastic colour! (but i would have wished for titanium grey...)
