I returned my P20 Pro to the shop because of GPS issues: it is impossible to make a GPS track because it will be turned off when running in the background.
Why does everyone want fingerprint scanners on the back? It's much better on the front, so you can unlock your phone while it's laying on a table without having to pick it up every single time. As for the notification problems, I know what you mean, I can assure you all Xiaomi phones have the same issues and it requires a whole lot of digging trough optimization settings to start getting them.
The SektorZ personal preference really. I prefer it on the back as I'm on my feet all day and pulling the phone put of my pocket lands my finger right on the back sensor where I want it. Well at least on the Nexus 6P. The Galaxy S8+ has the worst rear fingerprint position, I have to reach for it. Heck why not put one on the front and the back!
Rear fingerprint scanner is way better, since your phone will usually not be on a table unless it's charging. It's easy to access when it's in your pocket or just holding it.
What about if you're holding the phone, you have to go all the way down to reach it making it easier to fell off your hand because of the center of gravity.
Thank you for uploading on 4k appreciate your time and effort for doing that and gotta say I love your set-up and vibes fam keep up the good work cheers from Texas
LOL people don't care in the sense its not a popular purchase among the bigger phones. It doesn't really motivate or change the market. But for the price it's a really great phone
Well, the good news is that they Essential is coming back strong with Essential 2 and they are already working hard on better image image processing and all. As long as they keep innovating and price it right, i have a feeling that Essential can become a company that everyone cares about. Maybe we can also see some new mods for the device and an overall consistent performance. I make tech videos in a unique style. Please do give my channel a look if you have some free time.
I'm about to get my P20. Was planning to get the S9 but I just can't justify paying 350€ for a new Display. Also I really value battery life over almost everything else.
I have seen so many reviews and comparisons between the latest 2018 flagships and the Huawei P20 Pro, even though i really like the P20 Pro from Reviews and Stuff there was always something that hold me back from getting this phone. Thanks to your Review, i think i will get the P20 as my new one, coming from the S7 Edge! :)
Very practical and "real world" review instead of a spec heavy one, very refreshing. I'd love to see a 1-year later review - I'm curious about the life spam of Huawei.
P20 Pro is the first Huawei flagship I'm considering to skip since I started buying every single phones from P and Mate series in 2014. Yes, its triple camera setup is simply amazing, but as a whole I don't really see any significant improvement from Mate 10 which I'm using right now. The battery life is the same, the display is the same (actually P20 series is worse resolution wise) the SoC+RAM+storage configuration is similar though Mate 10 has MicroSD card support, and the speakers is more or less the same but I would lose the headphone jack. I don't really want to drop extra $1000 for a device which seems to be almost identical as my current phone just to get better *still* camera (No OIS means you will actually get shakier 4K footage from newer P20 Pro than from Mate 10, which is absolutely crazy). It is good that Huawei keeps innovating in camera technologies, but I honestly expected more from this phone. I guess I'll just wait for Mate 20 to come out at the end of the year, which will hopefully bring improved cameras and 4K video stabilisation, next-gen 7nm chipset with better NPU, better battery life, features, display and more.
Bro i have to say, this is by far the best review i saw on the P20. Im buying one and this review told me everything i needed to know. Good job! Cheers from Portugal
Great video! I myself have a Huawei p20 and I really like it. The only thing Im missing on this phone is that its water resistant! I know I should have bought the Huawei p20 pro, but I dont have that budget. You mentioned that the pro os waterresistant and the p20 is not but how about the dust protection on the phones!?
Thanks so much! This is really helpful for me as I'm trying to decide on a new phone. Thanks for a great and very detailed review. You have gained a new subscriber.
Hey Matt about 4k video? Need to zoom say x2 or x3 and you will notice 4k is stabilized! Worth try out yourself then come back and tell us? It work on my!
yes 4k stabilization is bad.. but I'm sure huawei is listening and will enable it like one plus did with 5t I returned a Samsung s9 plus due to battery life (sd845 us) that with low/medium usage it give me less then 4hrs of screen on time... had a huawei mate 9 and it was a great phone in general and never rushed to charge the phone like the s9.. the 2 huawei p20 are very good phones and they are worth to buy... good video. there is nit a perfect phone yet on the market, they always got have something that with the time will make you switch to a better or different one... it's called "business"!
As always, love your reviews! I’m getting my pro tomorrow. I actually work for Vodafone in the UK and to be honest, for me, it’s the most exciting phone that we sell at the moment! The Samsung ones that are in display in stores have the screens all burnt. They are amazing but the quality is not amazing.
I Think they Sound good!! Even though it seems like there is a too Big difference on the pro and the normal one? Or is it just me? But lovely video matt!! Really enjoyed it! And lovely too watch now when im sick... keep it up!
Thanks man! Im not sure I think it depends on the country you live. For example, in Canada the lite version doesn't exist. There's also Amazon which should carry it.
For sure you are the best phone reviewer! You make things simple and more close to human usage of a smartphone haha The P20 Pro & P20 are the first HUAWEI phones I actually want.
Good phone, excellent camera but I experienced some of the issues you have discussed in this video. My biggest issue is not receiving notifications and also notifications disappearing before I have even looked at them. A very good effort by Huawei but huge improvement needed. Hopefully other manufacturers also step up their game in the camera department. Great vid 👍🏻
+Matthew Moniz, I love you videos. I have a huge request. I am interested in getting the P20, but here in the states you can get a Mate 10 pro for the same price, and a warranty. Can you do a camera comparison between the Mate 10 pro and P20/P20 pro?
I got the p20 a few days ago and my battery runs out after 7-8 hours of continued usage, is it normal? is my battery not working properly? any ideas guys?
I recently just own the p20, well, as you said, the notification need a lot more improvement. I use steam on my pc a lot and there's a steam code links to my p20. Every single time i try to log in to my pc i have to enter the code that generated by the phone. So, here's what bother me, in my old iPhone, the code will automatically appear on the screen or the notification centre but when i switched to p20, the code just don't appear at all, I have to open the entire app to get my steam code which comes a bit inconvenience. All the notifications setting for steam are turned on but still i receive nothing. They really need to work out on this bug
Also the motion bug, sometimes i lift my phone up for face detection but the phone remains black screen, but it only happens once in a while. Still quite annoying
Hi Matthew , I'm a great fan of Huawei . From your review can a normal person who doesn't know much about the camera software, colour temperature and other detailed stuff buy these phones ? These phones are going to launch in India . in short are these phones only for those who know to use pro modes ?
Thats a great phone, I have pixel 2 xl and was thinking about change, but with the software bugs, the UI and inconsistent camera (but overall is really good) I still prefer pixel 2 xl and I'm waiting to see what apple and google have for the next semester.
I thought I was going crazy! My P10 sometimes doesn't give me all of my email notifications and sometimes SMS notifications appear hours or a day later... so weird.
When I bought the P8 back in 2016, it wouldn't show WhatsApp messenges. I bought an unlocked version so it didn't have my MNOs edited software. I had to fiddle with notification settings and turn all restrictions off and give complete allowance, even then I still didn't get alerts for a while.
You forgot to mention that they both don't feature a headphone jack. But I guess it's not really worth mentioning since it's becoming more common unfortunately.
My tab was less then $100 so I upgraded to the p20 TBA with the 128 gig of storage the fact that it has no SD card slot isn't a complete deal-breaker for me the no headphone jack is something I will have to get used to but at least mine came with a USB to headphone jack adapter
I feel like if they weren't going to use wireless charging, they should have gone with ceramic back. Ceramic surfaces have a very nice finish and feel to it, that is refreshing and elegant. And it doesn't scratch as readily as glass.
I find it's laggy compared to Pixel 2, but the screen in my book beats the s9+ and the iPhone x as they both have iffy red/pink issues around the edge. The P20 pro screen is uniform, no redness and bright. Camera is incredible apart from the selfie cam. SOT is around 8 to 10 hours, amazing. Great review though aside from those points.
You didn't mentioned that the night shots of the P20 Pro beats easily the iPhone, any iPhone. It combines 4 pixels into one big pixel, allowing it to capture more light. It even beats the S9+... The variable aperture couldn't help, winner in low light, P20 Pro.
This sounds amazing, I was sold on them in the store at Vodafone, but they were all reserved for orders so my order wouldn't go through, they use them for their personal store mobiles, looked great, but alas due to that I took the option of the sony Xperia XA2, and believe me it's poor, has it's good points but it's so difficult to use and the snooze on the alarm doesn't work, and silent mode is more awkward as it's built in to the do not disturb feature, very sensitive at times and the proximity sensor doesn't work all the time, great sound etc although not noise cancelling headphones either, but yes, the 4k HD feature is also terrible, bit early for 4K HD on Phones IMO but...these Huwawai' look amazing, gonna try and convince my wife to swap her IPhone 7 for one instead of the really expensive X she want's instead...thanks for the review you've convinced me just like others, that I should have waited for them to deliver me one, My S6 was perfect compared to the Sony...patience is a virtue friends. 🤦♂️
Since the p20 night mode uses long exposure And since the s9 takes better low light shots in straight up auto mode I think a 1 or 2 second exposure will do the s9 justice against night mode Besides that's not that too long of an exposure (1 sec) so shake wouldn't really matter I shot a long exposure on the s9 in one of Samsung's low light demos and it didn't look so bad So in the end, a 1 or 2 sec exposure will be enough to get to the night mode or even beat it because of the F1.5 aperatur
Abdurrahman Alchoughri the bigger sensor on p20 pro phones would give them a bigger aperture compared to the S9+ , the f1.8 on a 1/1.7" sensor is bigger(P20 Pro) vs f1.5 on a 1/2.55" sensor(S9+).
P20's Night Mode isn't exactly a single long exposure, but rather HDR using dedicated NPU in Kirin 970 for real time image aligning. If you set the shutter speed to 1 or 2 seconds and try to shoot it in handheld on S9, what you will get is a complete mess (That's why S9 won't select shutter speed slower than 1/4s in Auto). Also the dynamic range with Night Mode is most likely going to be better than S9's photos using any mode, so...
even auto mode by P20 pro in low light is better than s9. and your last sentence is actuaally very naive....although s9 is overall better, but it's higher price and in some aspects P20pro is obviously better.
Except the S9 can't do handheld long exposure, boohoo so sad S9's still worse deal with it not to mention the S9 cameras are worse even in auto mode, worse either way.
"I shot a 4 sec exposure on the s9 in one of Samsung's low light demos and it didn't look so bad" ------ so you are either 1. a tripod or 2. holding very low expectation of image quality.
Even if they were the same price i would still pick the p20 pro for it's more compact size. Had a mate 10 pro and it was simply too big. Kept nearly falling out my pocket. P20 is much more manageable. Just about acceptable in terms of size though 5.5 inches would be nicer still. In low light this is my best camera. I compared it to my proper cameras hand held and it won hands down. In good light it isn't far behind. Brilliant considering lens size. Battery is superb. Notification I had to enable some apps for manual battery management and fixed it. Vibration motor a bit week and call quality slightly muffled. Reception great. Overall great value at 400
What do you guys think of the P20 and P20 Pro?
i love them
UI is horrendous and the design is unoriginal! Simply looks like a knock off :(
I returned my P20 Pro to the shop because of GPS issues: it is impossible to make a GPS track because it will be turned off when running in the background.
i still like iphone more
Matthew Moniz best camera on a smartphone ever❤❤❤

@ 3:34 i think you swapped the P20 Pro and S9+ around, because the S9+ does not have a finger print scanner in the front
This is how you make a good, honest review. You, my man are the best reviewer I've seen so far. I'm getting the P20 some time next month. Thanks.
Thanks man! Let me know how you like it = )
Very detailed and informative review.. The only reviewer in TH-cam whom mentioned about EMUI Notifications delay.. 👍
Thanks Yohanes!!
Great review! You actually took up some valid points that may other reviews never mentioned
Thanks man! I'm glad you found it helpful
Actually the speakers on the Huawei p20 pro are better then the s9 plus
I dont ever comment on these thing, ever! But you deserved a thumbs up and a comment. Great review, you deserve so many more subs.

What did you decide?
got my P20 2 days ago, drawbacks? unoptimised notch display on some apps and the unstabilised 4K video recording.
Still loving the phone after 5 months?
Is the phone still worth it after 10 months?

Thanks man ! I really appreciate. The P20 pro is using an amoled panel made by Samsung so if you're worried about burn in stick with the p20
This may sound silly. What material is used on your table ? it looks nice and smooth.
Lol not silly at all its cork
One thing to say about your reviews: Honest ...
Keep up the good work 👌
Totally agree with you...i get my p20pro for the camera and the fantastic night shot it has.Great review👍👍👍
theres about a 200$ price difference between the P20 and the S9, is it worth it? I just need a phone for multimedia and games
Informative video. Keep up the good job bro. I love your vids!
Thank you so much for the great review, you are on top of my list when it comes to youtube channel and review videos ..regards from malaysia 👍✌

Where is the best place to get the lite version? I am thinking about getting this or the moto g6. Great review.

"... but no one cares about the essential phone"
how do you fix the issues with Instagram stories and Netflix? I have the same issue on my honor phone.
last time i was this early, you were a good reviewer!
Never had a Huawei so how does Huawei deal with fixing those little bugs and little problems?
Do you turn on video stabilization for recording on the s9
That stabilization is electronic
It's better if you turn it off
+Matthew Moniz, I love you videos. I have a huge request. I am interested in getting the P20, but here in the states you can get a Mate 10 pro for the same price, and a warranty. Can you do a camera comparison between the Mate 10 pro and P20/P20 pro?
I got the p20 a few days ago and my battery runs out after 7-8 hours of continued usage, is it normal? is my battery not working properly? any ideas guys?
The wireless charging has nothing to do with the battery size The Mate RS Porsche also has the 4000 mha battery but can be charged wireless
RAM capacity doesn't equate to speed difference, it's more of the number of apps it can hold, memory management...
Great review! Great guy!

@王中孚 which 1 is better between mate 10 and p20 pro?
Does anyone know how many mm the camera is sticking out? Hope my case provides enough protection.
You are the best reviewer for mobile phones. Hands down.
Thats a great phone, I have pixel 2 xl and was thinking about change, but with the software bugs, the UI and inconsistent camera (but overall is really good) I still prefer pixel 2 xl and I'm waiting to see what apple and google have for the next semester.
I thought I was going crazy! My P10 sometimes doesn't give me all of my email notifications and sometimes SMS notifications appear hours or a day later... so weird.
Lots of these problem seem like quite fixable/manageable software issues.
It's the battery and the no hiccups operation system that makes me want to buy this phone. Anything else is additional.
Bro can u tell me which one should i buy s9 plus or p20pro?? I am so confused bro i need to know which gives me a better value for a long term use..
vamsi theprincecharm S9+ If you like an Headphone jack, SD Card Slot, Without Notch, Better Display...
P20 Pro, better battery life, better long term performance, better cameras, no dock required for PC mode and faster charging.
Love your channel!
Thanks man !!
The big problem I see with this company is with the high pricing tags.
cheaper than s9
you are right the phone is great but example deleting archieved messeges it lags. and thats with the new update 8.1 oreo
I see a guitar back there. Play a solo one day?
You complain about display VS iPhone x and s9 plus... Thats a 200$ at least of price gap between those 2 VS p20 pro
When I bought the P8 back in 2016, it wouldn't show WhatsApp messenges. I bought an unlocked version so it didn't have my MNOs edited software. I had to fiddle with notification settings and turn all restrictions off and give complete allowance, even then I still didn't get alerts for a while.
Ya I know exactly what you're talking about it's getting better but the issue is still there with some apps
thanks for the review!
Whose got the p20? and what is the best thing about it?
Size plus camera
You forgot to mention that they both don't feature a headphone jack. But I guess it's not really worth mentioning since it's becoming more common unfortunately.
Ya i didn't forget it's pretty much a norm now for flagships. I only mention it if it HAS a headphone jack lol
Is there Ai sensor ?
Can they fix the 4k stabilization with an update? (for the p20)
My tab was less then $100 so I upgraded to the p20 TBA with the 128 gig of storage the fact that it has no SD card slot isn't a complete deal-breaker for me the no headphone jack is something I will have to get used to but at least mine came with a USB to headphone jack adapter
I am not sure but I think that u have told the definition of ip68 but the p20 pro is ip 67...
That’s correct it’s ip67 not 68 i described 68
I feel like if they weren't going to use wireless charging, they should have gone with ceramic back. Ceramic surfaces have a very nice finish and feel to it, that is refreshing and elegant. And it doesn't scratch as readily as glass.
Y don't u make reviews like how u made of Moto Z2 Play..i mean Real Day in the life type.. !!
That was so damn good
I miss that style ill definitely bringing those back this summer = )
Please do a camera battle with Pixel 2. Thanks!
I did already : ) link is in the description
Hi. Why is at slowmo vid nothing in between from 240 fps to 920 fps ? 400,500,600 for example?!! other vise I love my P20 !!!
I was asked you in your first live video "support SD card?" you said "Yes"!!!!!!!
I pretty sure i said it doesn't support it
Matthew Moniz you can said that you wasn't sure or you didn't know, it's okay. I remember clearly that you said it's support SD card.
Have the Pro.. comments spot on; night camera is awesome tho! Really miss headphone jack

Abdurrahman Alchoughri the bigger sensor on p20 pro phones would give them a bigger aperture compared to the S9+ , the f1.8 on a 1/1.7" sensor is bigger(P20 Pro) vs f1.5 on a 1/2.55" sensor(S9+).
P20's Night Mode isn't exactly a single long exposure, but rather HDR using dedicated NPU in Kirin 970 for real time image aligning. If you set the shutter speed to 1 or 2 seconds and try to shoot it in handheld on S9, what you will get is a complete mess (That's why S9 won't select shutter speed slower than 1/4s in Auto). Also the dynamic range with Night Mode is most likely going to be better than S9's photos using any mode, so...
even auto mode by P20 pro in low light is better than s9. and your last sentence is actuaally very naive....although s9 is overall better, but it's higher price and in some aspects P20pro is obviously better.
Except the S9 can't do handheld long exposure, boohoo so sad S9's still worse deal with it not to mention the S9 cameras are worse even in auto mode, worse either way.
"I shot a 4 sec exposure on the s9 in one of Samsung's low light demos and it didn't look so bad" ------ so you are either 1. a tripod or 2. holding very low expectation of image quality.
p20 or V10?
It is not a problem of orio or the phone, it is the issue of apps. They need to upgrade to match the Orio.
“No one cares about the essential phone” the quote that bears the most truth
Is it only that my huawei p20 pro only have only 1 speakers working??
Both work on mine. The second speaker is the earpiece
Can you play Netflix on Hd on the p20 pro now?
Yes!
Thanks Matthew
You really really deserve more subcribers. Really.
Thanks Zen!!
Wired charging is better than Wiresless charging why？cuz direct charging vs over the air charging of course its direct charging better
Watching on my P20 👌
Hey Matthew, just a quick correction, IP67 is actually 1 meter for 30 mins and it's the IP68 thats 1.5 meters for 30 mins. Cheers
wwwooooooooooow they take really great photos, the p20 pro really makes use of the word pro added to it. photos are great on them.
Even if they were the same price i would still pick the p20 pro for it's more compact size. Had a mate 10 pro and it was simply too big. Kept nearly falling out my pocket. P20 is much more manageable. Just about acceptable in terms of size though 5.5 inches would be nicer still. In low light this is my best camera. I compared it to my proper cameras hand held and it won hands down. In good light it isn't far behind. Brilliant considering lens size. Battery is superb. Notification I had to enable some apps for manual battery management and fixed it. Vibration motor a bit week and call quality slightly muffled. Reception great. Overall great value at 400
