Has anyone been able to keep root/magisk after updating the phone past EMUI 9/9.1?
If not, do you like 9/9.1?
I'm thinking about buying a Mate 20X but I need root. I hear that if you downgrade the phone back to 9/9.1 you lose fast charging and some other features. To get them back you need to update it. I wonder if it's possible to keep magisk somehow after the update.
I've seen pictures of HarmonyOS running magisk but I have no idea how they did it. I'm GUESSING it's by updating and not immediately restarting. They somehow run the magisk apk before restarting and install magisk again. Right?

Bought the Chinese version 8g 256gb with global rom colour silver. Got it in 6 days shipment via dhl. I recommend lovelucy store which is much cheaper then Chinesephone store and they were so kind to put screen saver on my screen already. Now i feels like i got back to the way i was 2 months ago before my old mate 20 x didn't work and was replaced by A73 5g of Samsung, which felt like a downgrade and let down by its poor camera, small screen, battery that barely last half a day, etc.

Anyone know if/when the Mate 20 X will be getting the new HarmonyOS software? (I'm in the UK and have the EVR-L29 model)

skywallker66, 04 Jul 2022I own this amazing smartphone for more than 3 years, works ... moreI couldn't agree more. I own the hardware Chinese version but with global ROM, and it runs like a charm, exactly like a L29. It never crashes or freezes, everything is so snappy, it's the perfect device. Personally I couldn't care less about 120hz (and yes, tried it). I'm not a photographer/videographer either, save for the occasional shot. So I also couldn't care less about how fast I can render a 4k video or whatnot. Same for 5G, actually. Considering the current coverage, yawn. Non event.
Also, don't lose from sight that most of these newer Chinese supposed giants are severely lacking in some areas. For starters none of them has the screen estate PLUS that perfect ratio. That's a thing of the past, nowadays every phone is shaped like a sausage.
Besides, for a lot of them, they're also lacking the Widevine L1 DRM that the M20x has, and if you watch a lot of content, that's key. Let's not even go into so-called modern SoC that make your battery drain like there's not tomorrow and barely allow you to hold the phone, so hot they run.
To this day, nothing matches the M20x as a complete, performant package. Its only flaw is the idiotic NM storage extension system. Huawei, 512 gb cards, hello?

I own this amazing smartphone for more than 3 years, works after 3 years like 1st day accept a battery drop needs to be replaced. you see fellows, after 3 years I own this amazing masterpiece, cannot find a real equal replacement for it that will have more than "7 size screen with 16:9 aspect ratio that was simple the best! with a battery that will last almost two days between charges, an amazing strong & clear stereo speakers & sound quality, great overall cameras performances, even when shooting at night, flowless operation that didn't slow down like the horrible Samsung's I've owned & much, much more... It's a shame no one makes this perfect kind of smartphones anymore.

Stevo, 19 Jun 2022Bought from aliEx with google services :) You can also buy ... moreHello sir can you specify which store did you bought the device from AliExpress? How much time it took to get the device? Did you use dhl shipment option or regular shipment? Thanks in advance.
Also, did you get the 5g version or the mixed 4g with 8g 256gb version with global rom? Thanks.

Bought from aliEx with google services :) You can also buy as Chinese version as well. Everything works and is awesome. Wish there is more phones at this size with a glass screen.
EMUI12 recent update works perfectly. Stay on 11 if you like the old notification screen.
New feature includes limiting phone charge to 100% later to extend battery life as high soc on battery can degrade battery faster.
One of the best phones I have along with the Honor Note 8. Battery life on Huaweis are phenomenal.
My wife has the note 20 Ultra, will take my phone any day. No going back form such a large glass screen.

Shine, 09 Jun 2022Hi,
From which reputable store can I buy this phone?
If y... moreAliexpress, chinaphone Store. I found them very reliable when I ordered mine last year, upgrading from the EU version to China version (8/256). With Global ROM on it, it behaves in exactly the same way, OTA updates and all.
This phone is very frustrating. Because even today there's nothing like it, and nothing better overall. I've looked at everything currently available, S22U, ZTE axon 40 ultra, Vivo X Note, etc. They all have a fatal flaw somewhere.
Seems like I'll be enjoying the X for yet another year to come.

Besides heavy weight is painful for day to day use.
Back camera and specially Selfie camera is far inferior than an iphone.

Is this phone even worth it today?
I always wanted it but never came to my country. Always from individual sellers and super expensive.
Now it is almost affordable but it is from 2018.
Isn't it better to buy a 7 or 8" tablet?

Anonymous, 27 May 2022Err.. Emui 12 is the update though? Or you mean something else. I think he meant an update model. Which has close to zero chance of ever happening. All the rage is about foldables (yuck) and anyway Huawei is out of the picture - no Google, no international sales, or insignificant.
