**** The Official Huawei P20 Thread ****

[Columbo]

Whoops, Huawei have been caught cheating in benchmarks with the P20 and Honor Play.
They put software detection in the firmware that sniffs for benchmark apps and when it detects one is running it kicks in a different 'performance' mode that end users cant get at. Scores were bumped upto 47% in some cases.

Will say though I don't know anyone that actually cares about benchmark scores but its still not exactly honest and gives a bit of an ironic ring to their 'Honor' brand.

So got my Freebuds today .They are pretty decent and the sound is really good from them .

I've only noticed a small bit of lag with audio when watching YouTube. It doesn't happen on Netflix or videos I have stored on the phone .really odd and pretty annoying.

I've just got a P20 Pro and I just have a quick question. When the on-screen navigation buttons are enabled, the hardware touch sensitive navigation button only functions as a home button. i.e tapping it = home. Long press = home. Swipe does nothing. Every touch will produce a vibration, similar to a long press when the on-screen buttons are disabled.

When I disable the on-screen buttons, it functions normally. Tap = back, long press = home (vibration), swipe = recent apps. I'm wondering if this is intended. Can someone check if their P20 behaves the same way?

I'm asking because the phone is my girlfriends and she wants both on-screen buttons and the off screen navigation, but it seems like the off screen button isn't functioning correctly when the on screen buttons are enabled.

Thanks

Thats just the way the phone works. enabling the on screen buttons effectively turns the actual 'button' back into a fingerprint reader only.

What exactly is Huawei try to convey here? Those people who queued up for an iphone probably dont care about Huawei, and made their efforts more worth it and the purchase decision of getting the iPhone even better because of the free powerbank.

Generated lots of press, cheap advertising.

The funny thing is by asking your question you have already answered yourself. That's how marketing works. Generates a buzz and gets people taking about it, therefore increasing appeal and market presence.

Hi,
Does anyone know if the leather edition is avaliable ?

Picked up a Pro today. Very impressed. The camera is a major step up from my Oneplus 3T. The long exposure handheld night mode is black magic.

The EMUI OS is a little bit more away from stock android than I'd like but overall the experience is fine.

Quite liking the fingerprint reader gesture method to replace the software navigation menu. Takes a little bit of getting used to. Only thing I miss being able to do is double tap to swap between apps.

Little bit miffed to learn bootloader unlock codes are no longer available though. No root

Had my P20 pro delivered yesterday. First impressions are very good.

Any recommendations for a charger. Unfortunately O2 didn't supply one?

 

[steve5424]

Aye O2 have been taking chargers out for a few years now.

I would only recommend trying to purchase the Huawei one if for sale anywhere .

You got robbed!

All P20 pro come with super charging charger as standard. All in heawuii sealed box

 

[Heisenberg]

O2 remove chargers from boxes? What the hell is that about?

Just read the above. I'd suggest contacting o2 and saying you want your official Huawei fast charger. What an absolute joke that is.

WTF! The charger comee with the P20 pro is specifically made for it! As far as I know there is no other charger will charge up in super charging mode.

Phone 02 and ask for the standard charger , if not, cancel the contract

 

[shadow_boxer]

Sorry I should've been more clear. It was an O2 refresh deal. Handset is likely a customer return but is in spotless condition/looks brand new. They supplied what looks like a generic USB C cable in an O2 branded box. Can't argue too much as was £374 and potentially £30 cashback from Quidco. Will give O2 a call to see if they provide the supercharger.
