I must say a dont play games at all on my phone. Browsing, youtube, messaging and a LOT of calls for work.
I am waiting for a Galaxy A52s 5g now. I had to take something from my firm, so I took this midranger. I dont have a replacement phone, that is why I took the A52s in case my Mate dies. But I do intend to use my Mate, I think even though the Mate is 4 years older model, it is still better phone.

Kirin chips experience a lot of problems as they age, impossible to read sim card and memory card, I had battery swelling, Huawei OLED panels also don't last that long, charging port issue, it's nearly impossible to connect earbuds at a point that the phone became a feature phone,on the other hand, the 4g connectivity is great. From my experience, only Qualcomm and mediatek based phones are the long lasting phones in the market.
My Xiaomi note 3 with it's snapdragon processor , after 6 years, still perform like a champ, no lags in the UI, 4g speed is amazing and Bluetooth also connect very well. I've recently seen some Huawei phones launched with Qualcomm snapdragon processor, so maybe it can be a game changer

Anonymous, 07 Dec 2022Exactly same as my experience. But I don't replace bat... moreUh uh... Sorry to hear that. That is exactly what I am affraid it will happen to me. I am looking for an alternative, I just cant find one. Phones today at the same price point that i paid for my Mate are just missing something that my Mate has, some feature like you said - an IR, or OIS on at least 2 cameras and AF on all of them, fast charging etc. Size is also an issue, 6.39" are perfect for me. Yeah, xiaomi makes only 6.7" phones now. I looked at Honor 70, loooks good, but (to)big and missing meeeny things that my Mate has. Just an inferior phone. So yeah, we both have same problems...

Unfortunately a week ago the phone finally died. It just die. Further inspection on phone service, they said it is chipset failure. May be Kirin chipset doesn't last long?
Now I struggle to find phone with comparable specs especially with infrared except from xiaomi (avoid at all cost).

Got 2 Mates in 06/2019 for me and my wife. 1,5 years ago the motherboard on my wifes phone died, replaced under warranty. Got another 2 years warranty, but we lost all of our photos of our newborn son. Was very mad, wanted to sell both phones and buy a Samsung S20 plus. But T-Com Croatia messed my order and I continued using both phones. My wife got EMUI 12 months ago (both phone were bought in Austria), mine received EMUI 12 only 3 weeks ago. I dont like what they did with splitting notification shade and quck toggles. So after 3.5 years, my battery doesnt hold whole day. In my Country (Croatia) you get at Huawei centre new battery for 27€. Phone is great. Only issue I have (and some others to, looking on the forums) is that my phone reduces volume on the main speaker while watching media. You need to pause the media for 3 sek, then volume returnes. 1 minute later, phone again reduces volume. Issue never got fixed with updates. I'll replace the battery and continue using my Mate 20 pro fopefully for 1 - 2 more years. New phones that are current now dont really offer better specs, so why buy new phone.

This will be my last Huawei Phone. I love Huawei and have been using Huawei for mate series for more than 10 years. Sadly, My need for Google services is more than my love to Huawei. Goodbye my love~

This is the best phone I have ever owned. After 3 years of use, there was absolutely no fault with it. It ended up being 100% my fault because it had a cracked back cover and I put it in water. I have already ordered a new one, exactly the same model, and it still costs a decent 475.00 Euros, but it is worth it.

Liyo Mobile, 07 Oct 202207/10/22 Still Best Mobile. No Any Errors ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️My mate 20 pro is Nov 2018. No issues, only battery is on 65%, but got new batt for 10 euros and replaced it.
Only thingbis my latest softw. Is EMUI 11, and no further updates. I think processor and RAM can easy handle EMUI 12. Hope I'll be able to update it.
