Huawei ban: the global fallout explained
I've had OnePlus phones since the 1. Wasn't entirely happy with the 6T, something was niggling me. I had a few weeks with the Huawei Mate 20 Pro and sent it back because of the poor video quality Camera is exceptionally good and battery life is also very good. Don't miss my OnePlus one bit now. As a dual sim phone it doesn't heat up like others know from personal experience. One massive letdown was the huawei health app. Bought the phone when the watch offer was on, fantastic watch, the health app registered the wrong number of steps from the watch, trying to connect to Myfitnesspal the app sent across the number of calories multiplied several thousand times I did not use up , kCal during 5 minute stroll , this is what the app sent across to myFitnessPal.
Uninstalled the Huawei Health App, now the phone is perfect. I had been suggested trying Honor by a friend, after my need to upgrade from my iPhone 6s Plus without spending a pointless fortune. The price of the phone on Amazon was cheaper than the resellers in my area, the battery life is outstanding! Auto-Night mode is well above the average of the most professional cameras. Portrait mode is amazing with the rear camera, the front camera needs some settings adjustment to have the best pictures.
Memory is great. Definitely worth the change from Apple although it takes some getting used to, specially talking about shortcuts and screenshotting. From a 5-year Apple user, this is a great step up if you;'re looking for great camera quality, super battery life and charging time!
The phone is as big as the iPhone 6s Plus, so a great transition, but of course, it's all screen! Load more international reviews. This is my third Honor phone, a 7, 9, and now the They have all been impressive and great value. The 9 was a big step up, the 20 even more so. Its super quick, the finger print sensor is very good. The screen is impressively large given that the 9 is only slightly smaller but has a way smaller screen.
The actual display quality was a bit of an initial disappointment but I have adjusted to suit me more. Have not used the camera much yet but tbe few shots have been impressive. I really did not need to upgrade from the 9, but I'm liking it now I have. Love this phone, Great size screen with no notch! Great camera especially the night shot which works great in low light inside - castles etc Very fast loading, Gaming and multi tasking. Great battery life.
One of the best phones out there- a must buy. I was slightly apprehensive about purchasing a phone from Honor having previously stuck to the likes of LG, Samsung, etc. The phone runs Android with the addition of the Honor Magic user interface UI bringing branding to the phone plus extra shortcuts, screen savers, etc.
One of the thing you notice is there is no notch for the front facing camera so you get more screen space.
The front camera uses a small hole on the top left and takes decent photos. On the back of the phone is the main camera and the fingerprint reader which is really responsive. The rear camera is capable of taking 48 megapixel images and has taken some impressive photos, the only let down is the camera goes into ratio on anything higher than 7 megapixel - that means no widescreen shots like you get on other phones.
If you knock the resolution down to 7 megapixel you get a If I had know this I would have looked at an alternative model.
Overall the phone is great to use and it is good to see a phone with a decent battery that can last more than 24hrs with moderate use. The screen, although an LCD, is nice enough and the hole punch camera is barely noticeable. The selfie camera isn't the best but it does the job. However, I'm a big fan if the back 48MP camera. In the right conditions it can take some great photos d I found myself wanting to take more photos than with my previous phone. Pros: great battery life 2 days, maybe more depending on usage , good camera, nice looks, quick, came with a good screen protector already applied plus it has a headphone jack.
Bonus: I got a free Honor watch. Cons: The software experience isn't the best but it's completely manageable, no wireless charging, LED notification light is barely visible, vibration motor is not too powerful. Have been using it for 4 months now and I can say I'm pretty happy with it. It's a stunning phone with great battery life. Both cameras' specs are top quality and the notch is a brilliant feature. Watch and phone sync flawlessly and both work great for what's intended.

It also comes with a clear gel like case and a protective screen film applied. Great hardware but the software still needs to catch up in many aspects. Also, switching from Samsung to Honor hasn't been easy but I gradually got used to it. And at last, hopefully the sanctions imposed against Huawei will be eventually dropped. Although, I received the May Android security patch.
All in all, I'm happy with the combo purchase. After opening up, setting it up I realised that Nova launcher didn't work! I use Nova launcher on all my phones. So I googled it, and apparently it doesn't work on Chinese rom phones. So I couldn't really test the phone.
Shame really. Very fast phone, fast finger print and face recognition, everything else runs smoothly I'm very happy totally surprised by the battery after 3 months I've only seen low battery once in 24hrs and that was heavy use. WiFi is a little low but data connectivity is very high. Wish I'd bought in time to get the watch though All Categories.
