Weekly poll: which of the Huawei Mate 20 phones is the best?

21 October 2018
The Mate 20 Pro stuns with its Leica camera and fast charging, the Mate 20 X with its huge screen, all four models get Android's first 7nm chipset.

Sort by:

As a camera phone M20 pro sounds brilliant. Perhaps M20 x is a best take, same camera massive oled screen cheaper than pro. Lack 3.5mm it's a huge dissapointment and those NV cards definitely does not sound good either

    Mr Magma, 22 Oct 2018I don't know how big your pants' pockets are, but beyond 17... moreI usually carry my phone in a shoulder bag with other stuff =) But it fits in jeans pockets okay (Redmi 5 Plus); and yeah, 8-9 cm phone won't fit the same))

    I'm not saying that Mate 20 X, Mi Max 1/2/3, Honor Note 10, Honor 8X Max are not big phones - they are big; but they aren't "tablets", they are rather "phablets".
    Even if a tablet 8s 17 cm long (which is rare), it also is 9.5-10 cm wide - the proportions are clearly not the same :)

    And I'm not trying to argue, just don't like to mix different concepts :)

      Anonymous, 22 Oct 2018just buy 40W charger and u will be good :) please crappy ... moreWith Mate 20X it will only give 22W power because thats where it caps and 3D faceunlock is not crappy (Mate 20 Pro excluded)

        Nicolas F, 22 Oct 2018It's only 86 mm wide, so it's still a phone. Tablets are wider.I don't know how big your pants' pockets are, but beyond 17cm it's a tablet. I've seen people with the note 8/9 showing the top of their phone out of their pockets, and this one is even bigger. Of course is not a fact, just personal opinion.

                          None. Because they are not designed in the US or the EU. And they are cutting corners in terms of quality and testing their products. Not to mention they are running Android, which is just a big spyware machine.

                                  Nicolas F, 22 Oct 2018Pentile is not a problem. I have seen the screen on Samsung... moreRead my comment again please, and remember - as always - that ignorance is bliss :-)

                                  Quick summary of pentile oled in smartphones:
                                  QHD+ needed for display from 6.5" and up - to be kind
                                  QHD+ needed for display from 6.1" and up - to be strict (and my preference)
                                  QHD+ needed for display from 5.5" and up - for VR use.


                                  The mentioned A8+ is only 6" and it's okay with a FHD+ display for normal use. For VR it's crap though.

                                  Stretching this same resolution over a 7.2" display will be a crap fest with screen door effect visible like crazy - note that this only applies if the Mate 20 X has a pentile display.

                                  The Vivo Nex has visible screen door effect and it's 6,59" display is too big for it's FHD+ pentile amoled display even for normal use by my standards, but if a non-critical user then it doesn't matter. No reason to think a larger display will look better with the same resolution.

                                  Type of OLED does matter, while it's been a while since we've seen RGB OLED displays in smartphones, they do exist :-)

                                    Mate 20 X hands down is the best it has everything I want large battery, large screen, better cooling, awesome triple camera from Pro sure it lacks something too like 40W charging, UD fingerprint, and 3D FaceUnlock but overall its the best

                                      If I could get any of them, I'd definitely pick the Mate 20 X. I love phones with large screens, and this one also have some really nice features, like the pen (I hope it has pressure sensitivity, like Samsung, that would be amazing!)

                                        Marco M, 22 Oct 2018QHD+ is not overkill for (super) AMOLED, which is pretty mu... morePentile is not a problem. I have seen the screen on Samsung Galaxy A8 Plus (OLED, FHD+, 411 ppi) - as crisp as mine Xiaomi Redmi 5 Plus (IPS, FHD+, 403 ppi). So all these tales about Pentile - I consider them to be rumors from inexperienced people.
                                        And "type" of OLED doesn't really matter these days, only real impression.
