      Don't worry no need headphone jack...we need a large sensor camera..which can easily beat google pixel 3, iphone xs camera..

        I think this is still better than what happened with P20 series. Both P20 & P20 Pro didn't had a headphone jack. Here at least the cheaper flagship will have it.

        Personally, i don't think it's a big deal. It's pretty common for new phones to not have a headphone jack. Just like it's common for new phones to not have FM radio, IR Blaster, Removable batteries, and so on. Things change with time. It's better to adapt early.

        Sooner or later, even Samsung & LG will get rid of the jack. Be ready for it.

          Alright, I'll check it out next year when the price drops by half.

                  I'd move to Wireless if it has solar panels and a battery source to keep it going. I'll move my long hair away to start the solar charge but too bad, it'll never come. Same goes for lagless audio when it comes to pinpoint accuracy games. A nanosec of delay due to being wireless will ruin all.

                  Come to think of it, I see Jack demanders as lazy people who forgot to charge their wireless headphones. They may have charge the phone but they didn't charge their headphones. They should add that as a major responsibility too you lazy droids.

                      On the other hand, Huawei's bluetooth headphones are amazing.
                      Mine came as a gift from the shop when I bought the Huawei M5 tablet and they're just incredible. Yes, there's some delay if you're using other apps that aren't the original phone app for calling (whatsapp, etc) but hey, they're pretty good!

                        I get the point. Its a choice,

                        - If u love the jack, go for normal Mate 20 & legacy fps placement.
                        - If u are professional/bussiness style, go for the pro, everything wirelessly and less tangible, minimalistic design with in display fps & higher face unlock security.

                        Clearly huawei's target on various of customers taste. Believe it or not, all legacy things maintain on last vanilla Mate 10, yet the Pro version still sold higher.

                        I for one, appreciate the jack & definitely will go with vanilla Mate 20. Both phone version is a beast.

                          features are good. but i dont like the design ...

                            How to shoot yourself in the foot....
                            But then again, last year the Mate 10 had the jack while the Mate 10 Pro didn't, if I don't remember badly.
