Just check my phone
Microsoft Authentication app run on Android 8.0 okay.

will it be Microsoft Authentication not supported by Android 8.1?

It works after I removed the app and installed it again.

Something good about my Huawei experiences for about one month after using iPhone 6S 128GB version for three years plus (now using the iPhone with a Circles.Life zero dollar flexi plan as the backup phone).

1) Camera is better, especially in the evening.

2) Battery life is not great but at least better than the iPhone 6S (my only complaint about iPhone 6S). Faster charging as well.

3) Dual sim is now useful for me since I get a China sim card for Chinese apps and for my yearly trip to China.

4) Android is more flexible in terms of side loading apps. Still likes iOS better than Android for the smoothness but the P20 is smooth most of the time as well.

I have used Huawei since the Nexus 6P, a phone that I really loved.

Thereafter, Mates and P series every year. They have been fine. Unfortunately the Mate 20 Pro left such a sour aftertaste due to the screen.

I can't understand how Huawei can charge such a high price and slap on such an inferior screen on a flagship. After two exchanges I sold it off.

To prove I'm not anti Huawei I've been monitoring the subsequent Mate 20 Pro batches hoping there'd be improvements. Maybe I'd get it again because of the good camera. Unfortunately even the BOE screens have green lines or tint. Unacceptable for a flagship at that price. Hopefully the P30 will not have these issues.

Personally, I change phones very frequently and switches between iOS and Android devices. For iOS, I used to like it a lot and also spent a lot on their ecosystem. However over the years starting from iOS 11, the OS is starting to get quite annoying, i.e. it will always auto enable Bluetooth and Wifi citing for best experience. It's like this my usage style, why dictate how the software works for me? It is not as if the battery is super durable and switching off features that I don't use to conserve battery makes sense. So I have been staying away from iOS opting to only keep my iPad Pro.

For Android, I've avoided them for quite sometime since used to be hardly any good alternative to the dominant Samsung. I've used a few Samsung Galaxy phones before and had very poor experience with their products. I've also switched to LG and Sony before and the software updates are as rare as shark's toe nails. The first time I decided to take a plunge to try out Huawei, I was actually pleasantly surprise at the quality of the Mate 10 Pro and their after sales software support. While people still complain that it is slow, but I believe I did mentioned, as compared to my wife's Samsung S8, the software updates I got on my Huawei phone is easily 6 - 7 : 1 time on Samsung. There are some quirks here and there (like missing notification, though it can be managed manually in the settings), but I can live with it. Speed is consistently fast after using my M10 Pro for more than a year now and battery life is still decent (Approx 2 days based on my usage). Looking forward to see the new P30 series.

I was also pleasantly surprised when I got my P20 Pro. Didn't realise Huawei had already been able to achieve very high hardware quality! And the dual sim feature makes things very easy when traveling overseas.

What is this missing notification you guys talking about? The LED light or not on screen and sound notification?

Apps like Ring Doorbell n Blink home security are unstable on HW
Despite enabling all the notificatuon settings, the motion alerts are not being prompted
On the IOS, no issues
