Huawei P30

[suxalot]

Can you elaborate a little more why? Is EMUI very hard to transit to from iOS? I am using an iPhone XS Max now, although I am quite keen to change to the P30.

Collected new p30p ... not easy to use from iOS user

Same, am using an iPhone XR now and am tempted to jump ship to the P30 as well!

Android gives you a plethora of options. You can change things like animation speed or even then type of codec for bluetooth.

iOS doesn't have this level of flexibility, it can be intimidating to anyone jumping from iOS to android, not just EMUI.

Hows the P30 when compared to Mate 20? Anyone upgraded from Mate 20?

I so far using Mate20 overall is good but only problem is (could be Android Pie issue), Toggle casted to Smart Android TV, Toggle app will hang and asked me to force close (but casted video still playing on TV)..

So I can't control the video play if it 's screen go off or I switch between apps.

U buying ah? Looks bad leh the red....

But can be solved by software updates right?

Tempting to buy haha
I don't do much video recording so not dealbreaker for me
Heard it can be fixed during software update but need confirm

It’s been a few days since the release, can anyone share their experience with the phone’s performance especially in terms of battery life ??

6 hours 35mins sot. 2 day 6 hours on batt 23 percent on batt. On both 4G at work and wifi at home

The Kirin 980 CPU will handle anything outside of gaming with aplomb. My old P20 Pro never had any issue with UI stuttering or any of that stuff and this phone certainly doesn't. Snapdragon is still better than Kirin for 3D gaming, if you're a heavy PUBG player or 3D gaming in general you'll want to stick with a phone with the 855 CPU, but otherwise Kirin's current-gen CPU will fly through most everyday tasks.

Battery life on the Pro is nuts, it's got like 70+% battery life at the end of the workday. I put it on the charger for a while when I get home and I don't even bother to charge it overnight when I go to sleep. Supercharge tops up the battery to 100% while I'm getting ready for work the next morning, charging is that fast.

Same CPU, worse screen, better camera? If you don't care about the camera upgrades in the P30 I'd save my money.

The settings menu in EMUI is kinda haphazard. Quite messy, but after few days you get used to it. You can always Google for help, and there's a search bar in settings for assistance.

Settings->smart assistance->Wake screen->Double tap screen to wake.

No double tap to sleep using the stock launcher.

Battery life is amazing compared to my old LG G6.

Easily lasted the whole day without charging. Normally when I reached home after work, I still have around 50% battery life.

I don't play games though. Normally use the phone for whatapp, GAGT, reddit and surf Internet.

Battery life for me has been quite good - from 830 am this morning till now I'm at 85% still. That said I'm so far a casual user - WhatsApp, telegram, Facebook etc.

I have a question though . On Facebook messenger I had someone not connected to me send me a message, but could not open it. Unique to me?

I saw a YouTube review video that claims that Huawei phones’ battery life are so good because of the strong RAM management. The reviewer cited an example that the podcast he was listening to just stop abruptly. Has anyone experienced such issues?

LOL I saw your 70% battery by the end of workday and I look at my 71% battery and at the end of the work day.

Ram management is awesome on p30p, m20p was a little kiasee.

 

[altca4]

Battery is awesome! The idle drain overnight is only 0.5-1% nia! Mind blowing!
I'm a fairly heavy user who don't game, maybe just a little pogo and I am so happy to have 45% ish left by 8pm after like 22hrs and 5hr + sot

[altca4]

For those who owns p30 and already update the device to latest firmware, can confirm if the red shift in video recording still exists?

Got few examples here:
