sexyjon, 10 Feb 2019I am very surprized how good reviews this phone gets genera... moreOh, I completely understand you. I've had a similar sense of frustration after buying highest rated, cameraphone #1 in whole world - Huawei Mate 20 Pro. The main reason of getting it was the camera system and how it performs against my Pixel 3 phone. After playing with it for couple of weeks I've sold it and came back to Pixel. Sure the Mate 20 Pro cameras are awesome especially zoom, macro and wide angle. But it appeared that cameras performance is inconsistent. Some shots are really outstanding but a lot of crappy ones. I was getting a lot of out of focus photos compared to Pixel 3. Also night mode pictures are coming out over-contrasted and washed out quite often. People's faces coming out washed out, over-smoothed too often as well. Night mode video is just a disaster, completely unusable. Since P20 Pro / Mate 20 Pro cameras are very similar, I guess all my complains apply to both of them. Finally, EMUI experience was worse than I expected. I do like to see notifications of all kind on my Always-on display to be able not to dive into the phone every time to check messages, emails, missed Skype calls etc. Apparently it is the case for Mate 20 Pro. Moreover, I wasn't getting notifications visible in the top left corner of the screen unless I swipe it down. Fingerprint scanner is a pain as well. So all thing considered, the phone is heavily overpriced. Definitely not worth to buy it for $1000 at the moment in current state. Hope Huawei will address the issues so I might buy this again in half a year for half price. Cheers

Me and another two my friends have this phone...phone is good, nothing in general to complain, but something happened very interesting... all together we did phone factory reset, after that we took the same picture under the same condition (indoor, outdoor and low light condition)... on all three phone picture come out different...we don't know why this happened... hardware problems or what? Anybody else have similar experience...
To be clear after factory reset we used camera without any additional settings...

I want to buy one of these three models, so I'm wondering who is better:
Huawei P20 Pro
Huawei Mate 20 (non-pro)
Samsung S9+
The following items are only important to me:
1. Battery
2. Selfie camera
3. Rear camera
I would like to hear your personal experiences.
Best regards

This mobile is excellent. The camera is awesome. The battery life is very good. My only real complaint is the 4k video is only 30fps. It looks OK. But think 1080p 60fps is sharper and clearer. Other than its well recommended.

You could choose H264 instead of H265 video format/codec, like @WHO said or you could install the appropriate codec.
I'm assuming you use Windows on your PC, so just go ahead and install K-Lite codec pack from codecguide. Use mega version. It has all you'll ever need to play video and audio on your PC.

This phone can record H265 video to lower video file size but finding compatible player on your PC is difficult since you need to find decoder to play it. So choose H264. Go to camera app, click video then go to video settings, click resolution, then tick h.264

I am very surprized how good reviews this phone gets generally. Based on good reviews I decide to buy one and did last November. This is my 3rd Huawei phone. the other 2 are a few years old budget models that both have worked fine so far. The P20 Pro is different. I was focused on the "good" camera when I made my decision, thinking about bringing this phone with me when I travel and leaving my cameras at home. But that will not be possible. The camera is in many ways ok although some features are useless gimmick that actually make the photos worse, like f.x. the portrait mode that washes out the photos, and often colors are way off in normal conditions and the digital zoom is a joke ;). But the night mode and the panorama mode are quite good, also the pro mode when used for RAW photos. What is worst about this phone is that it can not be used for video recording. To explain that further I have been recording some videos and yesterday I had accumulated 25 videos on the phone. And playback on the phone is no problem. But since I want to watch my videos on my TV I decided it was time to download them from the phone to my desktop. So I did, but then only 5 of 25 videos can be played on the computer. I have downloaded this again on a differnt computer, updated the Hi-suite, bypassed the Hi-suite. Nothing works, only 5 vids of 25 can be played when downloaded. Playing the others results in some error code on one computer. The other will play the audio and not the video. This is very frustrating. I can not recommend this phone and really regret buying it since the idea was to use it for photos and videos primarily. Also I find it strange that in the reviews no one seems to have run into this problem. Maybe it has to do with some quality control and I just got a lemon. Forums like this are my last try to find a solution to the problem before going to the seller and returning it.
