That's right. A nearly new device. Pay outright for the handset with a 1 month contract that'll get cancelled as I've already a sim only plan with another network.

I have a few questions on my P20 Pro - I dunno whether it's me being dim, or MUIU/MIUI (?) or whatever
Thanks
- with my homescreen, it doesn't auto-rotate - is that right? I'm sure my last android phone did (and yes I do have the options set to auto-rotate!)
- when powering on the screen, if you then swipe down from the top, 90% of the time I get the Enter PIN appearing....but about 10% of the time I get the (is it?) quick settings, which is more useful to me (though I notice that the quick settings include an NFC switch, so I guess if someone stole the phone and it was readily accessible, they'd just switch the NFC on and try their luck. My previous phone didn't have an NFC switch on the quick settings)
- with my previous phone I used to be able to swipe down on the notifications and see, without marking as read, multiple messages from the same sender, rather than just the last one
Thanks

Any news on Pie on the P20 Pro?
Some online seem to think it's available in Europe now?

I'm not sure what your last device was, but on my current device (OP3T) home screen doesn't rotate either, but I don't have a use for that anyway. I'm sure my home screen did rotate on an older phone I had.
As for your second question, on current android if you swipe down from the top with one finger, you get one row of settings plus your notifications, but if you swipe down with two fingers you get access to all the quick settings, and the settings which appear here can also be changed, so you don't have to have NFC there. So I guess 10% of the time you were using two fingers without realising.
As for your last question, on my device I can do that but not by swiping; there are little ^ and ˅ arrows that I can press to expand the notification and read more than one message, although the amount of messages displayed varies according to the amount you have received and how many other notifications are taking up space, so sometimes you can swipe other notifications away to reveal more messages.
Hope this helps

I should have made clearer that on point 2, it's when the screen's locked

I have the black. Much nicer for me than the twilight. I prefer the sides being black as well.
Soldato
Agree with the black sides, changed from the default clear jelly case to a supcase using black sides/clear back and it's transformed the look of the phone while making it more comfortable to hold

Spigen, [Slim Armor] [Gunmetal] P20 PRO Case, Hybrid Drop Protection Air Cushion Technology Military Grade Resistant Shockproof Tested Enhanced Kickstand for P20 PRO (2018) - L23CS24016
It's £14.99 off the rainforrest
Only down sides are the rear plastic scratches really easily and side are a bit slippery
But Ive dropped my phone a few times from waist height or higher and not a single scratch on my actual phone
Currently using
Spigen [Ultra Hybrid] [Crystal Clear] P20 PRO Case, Flexible TPU Hard PC Back All Round Protection Phone Case Cover for P20 PRO - L23CS23989
Which is still very good protection but keeps the phone not bulky at all and shows off the back glass really nicely
Hope this helps

Finally took the plunge and upgrade from a HTC10 to this in black. Coming next week. Any tips / things I need to do when I get it?
Can anyone recommend a screen protector with perfect invisible fitment? My one from the factory has got a little bit of edge peel so want to get that changed asap.
