Have been using this phone since May 2019. Bought a S20 FE 5G and used it for five weeks, and decided to switch back to the mate 20.
1. Although S20 has a 500mah more battery, mate 20's battery lasts longer. Similar usage, maybe emui has better background management.
2. One UI is buggy, after two updates in a month. Dial page would still occasionally stay on the home page, launcher intermittently reverts back to default although it's configured as Nova. Just to name two
3. Camera performance similar, no significant differences. I'm not a big mobile photographer anyway.
4. Mate 20 has a notification led, very practical and useful
5. Charging on mate 20 is a lot more adaptable, i.e. pretty much any 10w changer can sustain 1800mah charging while S20 is picky, same chargers can only give it about 850mah.
6. A way better and more reliable fingerprint sensor, so much faster and hardly misses. S20's sensor on the other hand, is lower and often unable to recognise.
7. Speed and performance about the same. S20 has a SD865 btw
8. Signal strength is a lot more robust on mate 20. At the same spot, with the same sim. I have 2 bars on S20 while mate 20 gets 4 bars, people complain they struggle to hear when I was using S20.
9. 3.5mm Jack is handy.
Disadvantages
Not officially water proof versus S20

May be your phone has factory defect. I bought my 2nd hand phone Huawei Mate 20 one year + ago and until now it doesn't disappoint me. I love this phone in all aspects.

Rodis97, 06 Oct 2020Can i use a QuickCharge charger on this phone?they don't pay for Qualicomm quickcharge chips, instead they use their own Huawei "super charge" 5v5A adaptive charging. it will accept higher Amp chargers that are not Huawei 5v5A and it will say "Quick charging" for example. you can also get the 12/24v huawei brand car charger for 5v5A charging

My almost 2 years old Mate 20 is still performing at A level which making it hard for me to totally switch to other brand. Battery back-up, camera performance and FP accuracy are the important specs which I'm looking for for my non-Huawei replacement daily driver.

About a week ago got emui 10.1 and the only thing I don't love is the multi window, I liked more the old one but I think it's my best experience with a smartphone so far. Battery life it's still great

Since it was upgraded to EMUI 10.1, it began to fail every time I open the camera

I have this mobile since april 2019 and it is amazing. The battery will last long time for me its one day and a half. The screen is bright and clear.. the cameras are very good. Not the best but they will deliver nice photos

Still have to say mate 20 is still a pretty good phone even until today. Right after the update emui 10.1,i feel like I got a brand new phone 🤣. It still capable to play all the game that u can find now and I'm pretty sure it still can fight for about 1~2 more years. 👍👍👍

I'm from Romania and my Mate 20 is still on Android 9, EMUI 9... Is anyone else having this problem? I tried using the Hi Care app and also from the setting menu and it says that no updates are available. I don't expect it to get 10.1, but at least Android 10

lee, 16 Jul 2020guys, i m struggling which phone to get, mate 20 or p30?any... morei have both p30 and mate 20.
p30 vs mate 20
compact phone 6.1 inches (mate 20 has better viewing experience since bigger)
oled display ( not much different with mate 20's LCD display)
inscreen fingerprint (fingerprint sensor on mate 20 proven is faster and more accurate)
battery (after android 10.1 update, mate 20 is much much better battery life)
always on display ( i off it since is useless for me. LED light still exist in Mate 20)
superb low light camera ( i compared both phones side by side, P30 only win for low light and 30x zoom, other than that, mate 20 for sure.)
Mate 20 is my main phone now.
just for sharing... Thanks ya!
