adcs89, 23 Oct 2018There is 1 thing not good in Pro version that is the batter... moreThey want to maintain the screen size, therefore the 4200mah.

    There is 1 thing not good in Pro version that is the battery.
    Already name it Pro, battery should come with the same X version 5000mAh.

    The rest are perfect.
    I wish Huawei can develop a new and higher mAh battery for Mate 20 Pro. Surely user will change it.

      The most interesting comment is the phone can fit a 4500battery. Probably they left a bit of space to prevent a note 7 from happening.

          regs, 23 Oct 2018No, width is giant now as well. P20 Pro is 71 mm in width. ... moreU should compare on the P series only. P10 & P20 width are 70mm, P10 plus & P20 pro width are 74mm.

          Mate series always bigger, the same goes for Mate 9 until Mate 20 series.

              Shui8, 23 Oct 2018Yes it will be taller a bit because of the new screen ratio... moreNo, width is giant now as well. P20 Pro is 71 mm in width. Mate 20 Pro is 72. Yet comfortable for an average human is 67 mm maximum.

                    Shui8, 23 Oct 20181. Yes it will. (Only with newer compatible SD card reader)... moreP20 has grown drastically in size. P20 Pro is 155 mm tall, just 2 mm shorter than Mate 20 Pro.

                        2. P series always smaller than Mate series. Actually the P20 series still remains as their previous P9 & P10 width size, the overall screen size bigger because of the new bezelless taller screen ratio. Same goes on Mate 20. (Previous vanilla Mate 9 & Mate 10 got 5.9" in 16:9 screen ratio, equivalent as 6.4"-6.5" in 19.5:9 screen ratio).

                          Main questions
                          1. Will I'll be able to use SD card reader to read from those NC?
                          If no, then it's not an option for me. I have 3.5'' USB 3 SEMA card reader, which is only decent card reader manufacturer on the market and
                          2. Will P30 Pro be same XXL size of Mate 20 made for 180+ cm tall overgrown only, or will it have decent pocket M size of 140 mm tall maximum?
                          If no, i'll pass. I don't need a giant shovel that fits my pocket only in half.

                            "European consumers are more conservative and prefer smaller phones."

                            With huge phones dominating the market these days (especially in certain countries), preferring a smaller phone is actually the radical choice, not the conservative choice. Preferring large phones is the conservative choice. He has it backwards.

                              Great how no one asked him about the lack of software updates and lackluster support of the Mate 10 series.

                              And called him out on his bs lies. Great journalism by everyone who attended.

                                        Haters...Haters... You should start accepting Huawei is bringing more value to their smartphones than many OEMS, how can apple charge a ridiculous price on their XS MAX without even offering just a 10W charger??!! Really!!? And fanboys are just okay with that?! Sometimes let's be realistic. Am not saying Huawei is perfect but at least they can justify what they are asking for because of what they are offering to a consumer.
