Soldato
I'm using the P20 lite and it's great, this one also has a headphone jack, may be worth looking at? Depends if you need the power of the higher models, this one is certainly fine for my needs.
I actually prefer EMUI over stock I think, got some cool little features I have never previously had. Even little things like the standard information icons at the top - battery, signal etc, fit really nicely in to the screen.
In general I do like the phone a lot, I really like the size - it's actually not a big phone, much smaller than I anticipated despite the screen size but that is due to how the phone makes so much use of the space with the bezels being so small, plus the "notch" which I love.
My only criticism so far are the charging speeds. It's got usb-c fast charge but... It's uses a weird charging standard, so it either charges at 5v/2a (10w) or 9v/2a (18 w) yet so far I have yet to see it charge at the higher rate (I've only had the phone literally a day and a half) but I need to do more testing.
Also need to find out what charging standards it's compatible with (QC 3.0, USB-C PD etc) for third party chargers, I have both so will test out over the next few weeks and report back. I can confirm though it doesn't charge anywhere near as fast as the Mrs Moto Z2 play which has the same size battery as this, and actually due to the way it switches up the voltage "when it feels like it" for lack of any better technical explanation now, it doesn't seem to charge as fast as my old nexus 5x either.
There doesn't seem to be any solid answers to this on the SDA forums, or internet in general that I could find, so I will do some testing over the next week and report back.
