Other than the screen issue how are you finding it? Happy?

Ugh that's a bit rubbish. was there any EE branding on the phone?

No EE branding.

Yeah must be the whole batch. Poor QC.

Ive had many oled phones, none as bad as these.

Well aside from the screen issues, I have found the finger print reader a bit iffy at times and the curved screen a pain when typing. Those issues aside, yeah quite happy. Although if I still had my P20 Pro I wouldn't have upgraded.

I have another handset on it way at this point I'm not holding my breath. I'd rather have this than the Pixel though, the only other handset I'd consider.

Wonder if it's the batch EE have, I've looked at my screen with a lot of effort and see no uniformity or colour shifting whatsoever.

Managed this today, like most cameras you have to go manual to get the best from it.

Personally I think that's a poor photo

I personally like the colour of his photo but i am no where near an expert to judge.

I like to compare camera quality so yea.

Let me know what you think, this was taken on a nokia 8 in low light so it used the phones torchlight.

Is the picture quality rubbish or good, to me the image quality is satisfactory.

Don't let the thread get derailed by me so please ignore and i will be off.

That looks like any other phone with a flashlight, too much noise.

Fair enough, thanks for your input though.

It must be tbh. If I have the same again, I'll wait a week before exchange.

I've been recording some 4K video today, wow, this thing really has a great camera. The low light/night time stuff still looks fantastic and I think the video stabilisation is probably the best on a phone at the moment (of ones I've seen/used)

With this latest handset I had trouble registering my finger, kept saying finger was dirty, it wasn't. Never had this issue with the other 20 pros.

Worst thing was... I was able to unlock the phone with my opposite thumb and both fingers by just registering 1 thumb.

. Terrible. Tried my wife's fingers but they didn't unlock it.

Got this off XDA, says if you have a BOE or LG display

Be interesting to see if anyone has LG.

Finger print issues also reported on xda aswell. .122 firmware fixes the security issue.

For a £899 phone, users are not having the best of time with this phone, feels like it was rushed and there are quite a lot of bugs that need sorting.

Just checked the app and I have an LG screen. What’s the difference? (Mine from EE direct)

Did you manage to cancel the contract and pay the fee? Did it work out cheaper?

Waiting for my first invoice to come through the post first so I can claim the Huawei promotion offer for my watch/charger. Then I will be cancelling.

Good luck with that as they process the claim 14 days after you submit it and the IMEI will be marked as back with the vendor. No freebies for you.

I have an LG ( LG01-18-10-43 ) and mine is with O2.

Feel like cancelling my order, EE can't even tell me when I'll be getting it. Not filled with hope with the early bug reports either.

That sucks man, you're having worse luck than me with phones this year, didn't think it was possible!

Checked the app and I have a LG screen.

Apparently there is another update out, .126

The bluetooth bug is annoying me big time though, everytime I connect to another bluetooth device bluetooth disconnects all other connected devices and then fails to connect to the new device. Perfect example of this is in the car, I have the phone paired to my smartwatch but as soon as I get into the car the watch disconnects and bluetooth momentarily turns off and then back on the phone, but then fails to connect to the cars bluetooth.

Have to say I'm thinking about that too

kona786 · 1 Nov 2018 at 10:59

Interesting. I haven't checked my handset as I left t it at my mum's for collection but everyone here and on XDA seem to have LG's, good or bad screens. Plenty of unhappy chaps on XDA.
