Video quality as compared to S9+ is less detailed, and OIS doesn't exist in 4K mode, also no 4K 60fps.
With regards to S9, I think it will also get it sometime in 2020 only.

When you mean the video is not on par with the S9+ what do you exactly mean? In what way or what aspects?
I heard one or both of the cameras has no wide angle lens like the Galaxy S9+?
March 2020 for Android 10 is still a long way off. That is approx 7 months since it arrived on Pixel devices. (I'm not gonna ask/discuss about why it takes too long as i think we all know why)

2- It supports Dolby Atmos
3- Yes, Stereo output with earpiece
4- Yes, a lot of camera updates have come, however video quality is not on par with S9+ but not that bad. Night mode is already very good. Beauty mode can be turned off but I feel that it still beautifies a little but it happens with rear camera's portrait mode and selfie camera. Stabilization is excellent in 1080p videos, but in 4K it doesn't exist at all.
5- It doesn't support CameraAPI hence Google Camera app cannot be used to the fullest.
6- It has Easy Projection, you can either cast the screen to a Smart TV or open EMUI desktop mode as-well which is excellent
7- I never come across such swipe bug
8- Not sure, I will come back to answer
9- Yes you can uninstall almost all 1st party app, or at least disable them
10- Dark mode is present but not working with some 3rd party apps
I am using P20 Pro for almost a year now and am very much satisfied with it. Still snappy, and excellent battery life. Camera still comparable to current date flagships.
I hope this will help you decide.

I'm very much interested in purchasing this phone after being adequately impressed with my Mediapad M5 Lite tablet. But I have some questions:
1 Approximately what month will the EMUI 10 (based on Android 10) will be pushed to the devices?
2 Does it support Dolby Atmos? If yes is the feature turned on automatically when listening via speakers or headphones? (like my Galaxy S9+)?
3 Does the speakers output stereo? If yes does it come out off the bottom and via the earpiece? (like S9+)
4 Has there been any updates to the cameras (front & rear) recently? If Yes does it actually improves stabilisation, improves contrast/dynamic range/sharpness, corrects barrel distortion and the "jello" effect", improves low light photos, ability to turn off the beauty mode? (most common complaints)
5 Does it support CameraAPI? (so we can install the Google Cam apk)
6 How can i cast the screen to my TV via the Chromecast? DO i need to install a 3rd-party app?
7 I heard a bug on EMUI 9.0/9.1 that you are unable to swipe away notifications for some reason? IS so then has the bug been patched?
8 What bitrate does it record in audio when taking a video?
9 Can i uninstall or disable most Huawei 1st-party apps now? (as it can be distracting/annoying)
10 IS there a native dark mode now (like the S9+) or is it still coming to EMUI 10?
Thank you.

Anonymous, 05 Sep 2019Huawei P20 Pro or Xiaomi Mi 9?Mi 9.
1. Better processer (one of the fastest, if not the fastest phone out there. Even faster than P30 Pro or S10 Plus).
2. Better camera (Has ultra wide camera which P20 Pro doesn't have, you can put gcam on it and it has 48mp with closed loop motor replacing the OIS)
3. Better battery (Snapdragon 855 is more efficient than P20 Pro's Kirin 970 and Miui is very optimised, you can check battery tests of Mi 9 on YouTube.
4. More features (Supports 27W Charging, 20W Wireless Charging, Fast In display Fingerprint)
5. Newer (so longer updates, will support up to Android 11 while P20 Pro can support up to Android 10)

Delayed app opening, the phone gets hot and it's generally not very responsive and apps keep crashing. Has anyone else experienced this?

I dislike this new update. On my lock screen, most notifications no longer show content, even though they are set to. So I have to go into each app to view. That defeats the purpose.
The Apps screen addition is pointless (suggestions). It just takes up more unnecessary space.

Just got emui 9.1 have to say phone seems faster more responsive, a few things i don't get tho. Why can't the recent apps be turned off in the app drawer and how come the torch app has been removed?? But over all its good to be up to date with the latest software once again.

Great phone. Runs ok but subpar gpu performance. My girlfriends Htc U Ultra running a Snapdragon 821 (2. Gen. Older than Kirin 970), scores more than 10% higher in all the 3Dmark tests..
