Comment: Hello everyone, I want to share the article - how I bought the P20pro.

Autumn came and I planned a trip abroad and I could no longer take out the train of the Gelaksi10go and understood that something had to be taken ... I went with SGS6, and naturally there was not enough memory and camera and technology and a screen and so on.

Autumn happened with a presentation from epl. I looked at these devices, I realized that - not bad, for XS at a price of 65 and XS MAX at a price of 80.

In the end, everything turned out to be much worse, 88 vs. 97. I immediately realized that I would not take these devices in my life as such. This is already full barzёsh, my psycho. The ceiling is fifty dollars (+ -), which I can spend not ev doshiraki.

Then I came across a DXOmark rating where the P20pro is not in the first place, and then I began to wonder - was it? Is he the same hero who needs to be taken in the fall of 2k18? I went, wondered, a friend said that I was a victim of advertising) because Constantly everyone has heard either Samsung or Apple, and taking a huavei for 50k was for me something incomprehensible-unknown. In the end, I took the will into a fist and realized that it was time to try something new and followed him. At first I couldn’t get used to it that I didn’t take Samsung and not epl, but then I realized that the kings had fallen.

Go.

The camera is a bomb. It is not in vain in the first place. Having trained and understood all the settings - you can give out masterpieces!

The screen - there is a micro-bang, in 1 cm - which, well, just does not enrage. Bright, clear, looks great.

Battery on 4000.

Internal memory - 128.

Stereo speakers. Home button! in which there is a swipe, and it is unrealistically convenient thing!

Iron. Worth your own - Kirin. I play PUBG Mobile - everything flies, no problems. With all the rest smart and cope for 5k.

2 Sim - a separate topic. For me, a great plus.

Color chameleon. Chic. Looks very good. cool.

Total:
I took the tel. for 50, with an excellent camera, with a large screen, with a powerful acc. with a large inside. by memory. He received bluetooth headphones and 2k bonuses as a gift. For 50 I got everything that I wanted.

So guys - buy, use and enjoy!

Advantages: 1. OLED screen. It consumes little energy, a lot of color temperature settings "if necessary, you can adjust as you like," there is always on display.
2. Camera. At night, there is no equal today, add a bunch of manual settings here and you get the best camera on the market, without further ado! IMHO.
3. Autonomy and iron. 6Gb of RAM and 128gb built-in just for the eyes. 4000mah battery, good optimization of software and hardware, with moderate use, the phone will quietly hold for two days + there is fast charging!
4. Sound Аptx HD, LDAC, HWA - If you are a fan of high-quality wireless music then this phone is for you, support Dolby Atmos, high-quality and loud stereo speakers!
5. EMUI shell. A very nice shell as for me, a vast amount of settings, themes and software features!
6. Protection against water and dust IP67.
7. Build quality. Strong monolithic phone, nothing anywhere backlash, no creaks, dust between the screen and the case is not clogged - HELLO SAMSUNG !!!
Disadvantages: 1. The absence of 3.5mm. Still, the USB-Type-C headphones are soooooo little, and if you don’t have wireless headphones, you’ll walk with an adapter) Thank you for having at least put the adapter from the USB-Type-C to 3.5mm.
2. Also the EMUI shell. For someone it will be a disadvantage. Simply, there is a type of people who do not tolerate the Chinese firmware EMUI, MIUI or FlymeOS, give them a clean android. Such people are difficult to convince, believe me)
3. Wireless charging. There is nothing to say, it is simply NO, the back cover is glass, and you forgot to throw a wireless one at such a cost, well, for that, in Mate RS, Porsche Design is there, you need to stimulate the purchase of a 2000 EUR phone haha.
Comment: The phone is good, as for me there are minor flaws, because I use wireless headphones and I connect via bluetooth in the car, and the "mono-blood" does not cause disgust, although you can hide it programmatically, otherwise it causes an attack of epilepsy in some.
Huawei P20 Pro seems to me created for people who have an evening "night" lifestyle for those who like to take a walk, ride around Moscow at night and stuff like that, because with such camera capabilities it is a sin not to use all this))
I bought the phone myself on pre-order, Huawei Watch 2 Classic watches were given as a gift. Hours as well satisfied. I recommend both a phone and a watch to buy!
P.S. Moved with SGS 8 Plus

Advantages: + Battery
+ Camera
+ Speed
+ Sound
+ fast fingerprint scanner and convenient location for me
+ fast authorization by face
+ Color rendition
Disadvantages: -low resolution for this type of screen
-no mini-jack
Comment: The phone was purchased after a careful selection and evaluation of all the advantages and disadvantages, which, if desired, can be found, but you can not find it, so I indicated only those that are particularly noticeable to me, but not critical. The screen after Samsung s7 edge has a number of disadvantages: 1) Fullhd + screen resolutions with a noticeable feature of the amoles matrix subpixels, a noticeably smaller margin of brightness than that of the same samsung. But with all this, the color rendition is better than that of a competitor, especially white. Cameras compared with galaxy s9 + and iphone x, everyone has their merits, I can not say that the camera on the p20 pro is a cut above the rest during the day, the advantage in monochrome sensor, zoom capabilities, professional mode and shooting in poor light. Especially I want to note the energy efficiency of the smartphone, with moderate use, it can easily work for two days, with a heavy load, it does not make it to the evening, this Samsung hasn’t dreamed even out of the box, perhaps this is one of the biggest advantages of this smartphone besides the camera.I would like to mention the shell and the overall optimization of the system, according to my feelings, everything is noticeably better than that of a Korean comrade, and in general the device looks complete and balanced. The appearance is subjective, for me the phone looks quite nice, the assembly and materials are of high quality, I took it in blue. The bang here is really not as huge as on the progenitor, it looks neat and does not hurt the eye. The sound from the speakers is loud and fairly high-quality, but worse than the galaxy s9 + or iphone X. I liked the sound in the headphones, I use the same headphones as with the previous phone, in my opinion here p20 will not disappoint. The absence of a jack is certainly a flaw, but not critical, an adapter in the kit. Summing up, I want to say that the phone turned out to be balanced and solid, if there is no brand dependence, then I boldly recommend it for purchase, it has clearly fewer disadvantages than advantages. I attach pictures from the device.

Advantages: Camera:
- Snapshot speed
- Saturation of photos
- Video stabilization (stabilizes even running)
- Slow Motion
- Zoom
- Shooting at night
- Portrait mode
- A large number of modes and settings out of the box
- Good monochrome sensor
- A good selfie camera
- Clear images of objects in motion (children, animals)

Apparatus:
- Fast fingerprint scanner
- Fast face recognition
- Big battery (enough for exactly a day)
- No lags in the shell interface and application work
- A lot of RAM and memory, all applications will be enough
- Constantly working and not eating energy coprocessor, with which you can give voice commands to a locked phone
- Ability to work on the TV as a computer (for this you need a docking station)
- Fingerprint sensor plays the role of navigation buttons, very convenient
- In the shell, a whole mountain of settings (you can configure the number of notifications on the icons, the desktop like on Windows Phone or like on iphone)

Screen:
- Work with applications on a black background
- The clock is always on the screen
- Good auto brightness control
- Work in gloves
- It looks good in VR glasses (there are no lags when watching 360 videos, good color depth)
Disadvantages: Critical:
- Narrow conversational speaker. You can simply not get into his ear and the interlocutor will not be heard, or he will move out during a conversation. It may be a matter of habit, but in a week the skill did not work
- Price
- Difficult to get (especially gradient color)

Quibble:
- There is no camera button (there is no possibility to quickly take a picture or start the camera, out of the box for this offer to use the volume rocker, but this is not convenient, you can take pictures just by making a random loud sound)
- No xenon flash
- Cameras bulge, there is a risk of scratching them
- When recording video, the effect of 1.6x zoom (relative to the photo) is not suitable for capturing a wide scene at close range
- Oleophobic coating is weak, the finger slows down, there is friction
- Shooting at 960k / s sometimes draws something that is not there (the feeling that a real shot has 2-3 times fewer frames per second), but still looks interesting
Comment: I switched from lumia 1020, I wondered for a long time whether there was any sense, I rebooted a bunch of reviews, photos from the camera. I even had time to quarrel with the owners of this device on the 4pd forum (who do not recognize the minuses point-blank and how evil they post pictures on which it is very difficult to evaluate the device).

As a result, in fact the acquisition is very pleased. The camera has exceeded all expectations. The impression that many chips were taken just from Nokia devices (refocus, combining 4 pixels into one, night shooting). Decent receiver line 40MP camera phones.

I needed a phone with a fast and good camera and I got it. He pulled out, clicked, hid - a good photo. Due to the heaps of interfaces, you can not press anything at all. He took out the phone - it was unblocked in the face, said a loud word - he took a picture, put it in his pocket - it was blocked.
Applications work stably.Memory is enough for everyone. After Windows Phone, that's great.

Advantages: Transferred from Samsung s8. I chose between p20 pro and S9, but the camera and gradient were conquered. Portrait mode is great. Conveniently in the hand, I wear without a cover - for 2 weeks of using scratches on the back of the caps no. Good sound, quickly recognizes both face and print. Everyone who saw the photos taken on him squealed with delight and asked what was shot. Selfie camera is great, no complaints. Compared to an iPhone, the 8+ wins significantly, slightly better than the S8.
The battery is not bad, it keeps the whole day with active surfing on the Internet, photographing plus a constantly on Bluetooth for the bracelet.
Disadvantages: When the sun color is too bright, the shades “walk” a little and look unnatural. Corrected pro mode. When portrait mode can "crookedly" grab hair, but in my opinion, all portrait modes of flagships suffer from this, still not a SLR camera. I attach the made photos of a different format. The keyboard is not very comfortable, but as for me, this is a drawback in general now androids (S8 and her husband's syiaom have the same thing with it).
Comment: In the body, for the money - this is definitely a great option, especially considering the gifts. Is this the best camera phone at the moment? It is difficult to say, but in many respects he definitely wins over competitors. In terms of price / quality ratio - exactly top1))

Advantages: I switched to Huawei P9 from the flagship HTC, which I left a review in the corresponding branch in December of the 16th. P10 missed, because "Nine" I was more than satisfied for almost two years. In general, there were no problems during operation. But when the P20 Pro appeared, it did not restrain itself and bought it in the first month after the release. I write reviews very rarely, but here, perhaps, the case when you should not be silent.

The phone is well balanced. Everything that is required by the user works at the maximum or close to the maximum level. Settings - darkness, while too lazy to climb into them, because using Phone Clone transferred all previous settings to a new phone in half an hour. Everything was copied except for the calendar. It had to be manually restored.

Any new-fashioned slag, such as immersion under water for half an hour, is not implemented. But who needs it? For underwater photography has long invented special tools.

The new screen is large, on one page it began to fit one line more icons, so that the main programs moved to the first page. He used to live in two.

You get used to unlocking a face scanner in a couple of days and basically you start to use it. It works quickly and stably in the daytime, in the dark or if you hold the phone crookedly somehow, it happens that it does not immediately “catch up” I put parallel unlock on fingerprint on several comfortable fingers. This unlocking is triggered in any light condition and in any position of the phone.

About the smart battery and super-fast charging, there is no need to write a lot, everything is already written. This is just a well-developed basic smartphone features. Less than 50% never a day did not drop the charge under normal load. P9, it happened, and subsided to 15-20% by the end of the day.

The camera for today is also out of competition, which is confirmed by authoritative technical tests and user enthusiasm. I join their number. With P9, the difference in the pictures is very noticeable, but earlier it seemed to me that my “old man” was shooting well.
Disadvantages: Among the shortcomings, I note that the function of fixing SMS chains at the top of the screen has gone somewhere, rummaged everything, did not find it. Then in one of the reviews I read that a new program for sending SMS was installed on Pro. It is a pity that in doing so, I lost the function I needed. By the way, SMS-ki became colorful. Colors are assigned at random, it seems, and not always it fits well with the "owner" of the chain. True, I rather quickly learned to change the color of the chains I needed. And let the others be full.

The only minus that can be noted is, rather, a consequence of many of the advantages described above.So far, technologies have not reached a level so that all the functionality is placed in a shell of a smaller size. I really liked the “nine” by the combination of weight and overall characteristics, just the ideal for me was the size of the diagonal. The P20 Pro is noticeably bigger and heavier. He is not too comfortable for a woman's hand, and not even to all men seems comfortable, I suppose. But here everyone chooses for himself what is more important, functionality or size.
Comment: What did not fit in the dignity:

Sound and screen at a very good level. I compared it not only with the old P9 (I placed and studied the image in detail next to it), but also with phones of different brands. Decent sound and advanced screen, which can be seen well even in the bright sun, in contrast to the P9.

In general, I did not touch a bunch of pre-installed applications, I just overtook them on unused screens, then I would disassemble and clean the excess. Fortunately, their performance and battery does not affect their presence.

Monobrov, like many in the reviews, I also do not bother. Around her crowded icons of various functions. Something is known, but one of the icons could not decipher.

What is the bottom line ... Well done, the Chinese, keep it up! Apple, obviously, will wither this year, giving up its share in the global market of Huawei, and there also ORRO nearby. Samsung also did not have long to reign. After a couple of years, the Chinese will firmly “pinch his tail” to him, perhaps even lead him to a share below 20%.

The Chinese act persistently and methodically: they take (or blow off, if someone has already invented a new chip) an important function / element and bring it to perfection, which is available with current technologies. At the same time ahead in all respects the source. Users notice this difference in the functionality of devices very quickly and vote with money, hence the leading growth dynamics of the share of many Chinese brands.

Advantages: Great screen, camera and battery.
The quality of communication is also excellent.
Disadvantages: You can write that price, but for Russia they rolled out the lowest in Europe + worthy gift in the form of watches.
The navigation button, I think superfluous, gestures + on-screen buttons, in exchange for full framelessness, would be better
Video 960 frames per second, more marketing than a camera chip, because The quality is very mediocre.
In general, shooting video, probably the weakest side of the device
Comment: This flagship with excellent features.
I am glad that in this price segment, a worthy competitor finally appeared among apples and Samsung.

Advantages: There are a lot of advantages, it is too lazy to paint them, there are already many reviews and reviews on the market. I want to talk about some of the nuances that I encountered. I will write about them in flaws, although this is all very conditional, no longer flaws, but nuances.
Disadvantages: 1. Without a cover is quite slippery.
2. There are practically no accessories for him, especially quality ones. Very accustomed to the years of using Apple and Samsung products for Pitaka covers made entirely of carbon. And also to leather stickers. So neither one nor the other is not there.
3. The fingerprint sensor is too fast. When you take the phone out of your pocket, it either vibrates when it detects an erroneous scan (this is when you touch the sensor with your palm), or it has time to unlock and have time to launch something during this time.
4. The camera is excellent, but in low light conditions, you need to hold the phone for 1-2 seconds after taking a picture in the same position so that there are no “smears”.
5. The problem with some accessories, such as sports watches and garmin bracelets - the whole problem to set up synchronization and correct display of notifications.
6. Slightly inadequate volume setting. Those. the sound is loud - a little quieter - even quieter, and then immediately such that it is almost inaudible, subjectively skips 2-3 steps.
7. A little awkward control with a fingerprint sensor.The onscreen buttons were immediately removed in the settings, all control is carried out through this sensor (touch - back, hold - home, navigate through it - running applications), so why don't they manage gesture control like on iPhone X, or how is Xiaomi done now?
Comment: Well, this is all niggling, otherwise the device is excellent. I decided to just write that many somehow miss. There should be a small fly in the ointment in this barrel of honey, which is used to pour this apparatus from all the reviews and reviews. :)

Advantages: 1. Stunning bright screen, monobrow does not interfere with viewing content at all. Everything is very well thought out in the smartphone. All the power of the screen is shown in the pre-installed video.
2. The camera not only perfectly removes, but also inspires for experiments and creativity. The settings and functions of the camera are intentional. As a result, you can get a picture to your liking.
Also pleased with the ability to instantly shoot when the smartphone is locked. This means that you can hardly miss an interesting shot.
3. The impressive sound of Dolby Atmos, which can be felt immediately while watching a pre-installed video. Great microphone for recording gigs!
4. Good autonomy, fast charging.
5. Excellent performance
Disadvantages: I do not know what it is, lack or not. But the selfie camera shoots professionally only the person, and what happens around does not really interest the camera. But this is done really high quality, there are a lot of plots of photos. Do not be ashamed to make a photo on any documents, pass, put the avatar during business correspondence.
Comment: Great smartphone for every day, which has everything you need, comfortable and that will not let you down. Finally, I updated the smartphone for 2 years. There are no worthy alternatives.
