mate 10 pro is $799 but also free $150 gift card
better camera than oneplus 5t
Sent from my [device_name] using XDA-Developers Legacy app
I think this is a price thing, if you don't care about the money you can choose the "little" better huawei...
but if you are not keen on amoled screens, I think the mate 10 without pro is the better choice.
Buy the 5T not because someone on XDA in the 5T forum says so but because Huawei is a really crappy company! Huawei already abandoned the Honor 8 that came out last year with great specs, they said in can't handle Oreo which is a blatant lie! They would rather sell you a new phone which I'm sure a lot would rather do but geez have some class!

While I don't disagree, your reasoning isn't exactly fair. Honor is a budget brand and similarly priced devices released around the same time also do not have Oreo
Not that the Honor 8 didn't get Oreo yet, it's NOT getting it! Huawei said the Honor 8 can't handle Oreo basically which is a lie. The Honor 8 has better specs than several phones running 8.0, and its not a budget handset by any measure.
I was in the same dilemma
the camera I'd say is better on the OnePlus 5t simply because it is smarter what I mean that there isn't auto hdr on the mate yes the hardware is better and more reliable on the mate but I just hate EMIUI
the selfie on the mate is a complete garbage on of the worst the oneplus's selfie is better
the software experience on the oneplus is far better which is the most important thing to me
the EMIUI is like 2 years old with the same crappiness which I can't live with
the htc 10 which was launched in 2016 along with 3/3t and galaxy s7 all are tipped to get oreo update unlike huawei
also the development community in the huawei is very weak so you can't even depend on that after official support ends
camera on the mate 10 isnt great. more oil paintings, bit like the 5T.
battery will be better though, updates about the sames as 5t and if you're in the uk can can get the mate 10 pro from carphone warehouse for £529 at the mo!
I like the specs of Huawei / Honor phones, but hate their EMIUI. Had one phone with it and it was just so horrible ugly and bloated.
Almost pure Android is much better.
Well... If you are willing to pay $800+ I'd suggest you to wait for Samsung S9. Huawei appeared out of nowhere and started selling phones for the high price just because specs are good on a paper. I personally have OnePlus 5T 8gig variant and I am satisfied with what I got for under $600. I can't say if camera is better or worse than Huawei mate 10 Pro but 5T does the job for me and higher mpx dont always mean better camera. Buy 5T and I am sure you wont regret but it is always your personal choice. We can tell you anything here.

ive had both
cant go wrong with either both are good
if you are keen on development then get the oneplus 5T as the mate 10 pro is a pain in the royal behind to download and flash things
I've had most Android devices. I go through them like water. The mate 10 pro was great hardware, but software made it unbearable for me. I've been using my red OP 5t for a few weeks now. I really love it especially with the Oreo update and gestures. I'm gonna stick with it as my DD until the S9+
After reading this thread im going to have nightmares about update.apps and software install failed. I will never spend another penny on a Huawei product....most finicky devices known to man.
Oh yea, get the 5T :good:
I've been having a dilema. I want to buy a new phone and i was given 2 phones : Omeplus 5T and Mate 10 pro.
Issue : I want a phone to last me in the long run (3 years+ in terms of reliability and support). I got these 2 phones on my.list because i want a good multimedia phone. I am not a gamer and not a pro photographer.
I want you people to tell.me your experience with oneplus 5T and recommendations. You can leave your negative comments if the phone is bad in a part (camera, battery etc).
Thank you!
the oneplus 5t is better but with root and roms
if you will not root or not planning then get the mate 10 pro
also bare in mind that you will not be able to root or modify the mate 10 pro by any mean as no bootloader unlocking for it
I was in the same place as you a year ago and I went for the 5t

To OP, I agree with this guy's reply to your post, as you are on XDA the 5T forum will entertain you more. But the mate 10 is still an awesome phone it can't be denied.
Thanks for the feedback.
If you ask here, you'd go with 5T.
Huawei is ****
I guess oneplus is my next phone. Huawei's mate 10 pro is pretty nice but they locked down the software. Thanks for the feedback!
Hey friends,
I pre-ordered my Mate 20 X today. I'm really excited for it. I am importing it in Canada.
I'm also interested in purchasing an M-Pen, is anyone else doing the same? Any idea where to buy it? Will any version of the M-Pen work with the phone?
Thanks

Where did you pre-order from? I see that the lowest price that I can find is on banggood.com
What version are you getting??? Is it a global ROM or a Chinese ROM?

Hey, yeah I wanted to support a Canadian company so I went through PDA Plaza. Didn't really care about the price.
I really struggled to pick which version of the Mate 20 X, because a few years ago I imported a spec'd out Chinese Mate 9 6 GB 128 GB. Turns out two years later with heavy use, I've only used up about 25% of 128 GB. Everything I do is in the cloud or gets backed up by the cloud, so I don't need the storage. The extra ram would be nice but I don't really trust Huawei's ram management to justify the extra cost. My Mate 9 still does everything I need with 6 GB.
So that being said, I decided to go with the entry level Mate 20 X with 6 GB and 128 GB, Phantom Silver, Chinese model.
Dude, if your waiting around for the Global Model, I would recommend giving up. Its rumored, so take this with a grain of salt, but I heard that the Mate 20 X is only being released in China. If a Chinese model is a dealbreaker for you, then you might want to consider the Mate 20 Pro, which is launching almost everywhere except maybe the US.
I found this. They also have a lot of other accessories too.

Has anyone had the chance to compare both of these phones yet ?
I already have a m 20 x since last year and I love it but I need another phone soon and these are about the same price in my country
Wondering which would be louder because the 20x is already the loudest phone I ever used
Rog Phone 2 is in another lvl, the sound is good as Mate 20X, i have my tencent version, i have nothing to complain.
After the Mate 20X i bought the OP7 Pro, hated the screen fall, i just moved to rog phone 2, and its amazing.

just wondering: if uve only had for one year and u love it, why do u "need" another phone already?
but yeah, i consider the rog phone II the only available alternative in the mate 20 x range at the moment. everything else is either smaller in display, smaller in battery or only has mid range performance (i.e. mi max 3 or honor note series)

my friend has the rog phone 2, and its not even close really. its not comparable if you ask me, the rog2 are miles louder. its not just "louder", the clarity is quite noticable too.
im sure the front facing speakers help in the overall vibe of the phone being louder, but thats a good thing.
theres 3 things with the phone's hardware that no one else in the industry is touching:
processor, battery, and speakers
good luck to you if you buy one.
Hey folks
I bought my first M20X in November 2018.
It was crashed ½ year ago, so sad.
Then I bought a Samsung s21 ultra, had it 1 month, did not like Sammy any longer, hate the OS and the display size hmmm to small.
Then I got my xiaomi mi 11 ultra 1½month ago, I liked it better then the S21u BUT missed my good old M20X which still is a hardcore phone in my eyes.
I bought a new one 8gb 256gm Chinese version with a global rom on Aliexpress
It work absolutely 100% like my old global M20X Hong Kong version, no Chinese stuff at all.
It surprised me the M20X forum still is active here.. Awesome, not much, but still.
Big story yes, for a tiny question.
Every time I restart my M20X is set as automatic light dimmer grrrrr, don't want that.
I remember the same problem in 2018, but how to fix it, I don't remember and can't find anything about it...
Anyone in here know what to do ??
Rly no one in here have a solution?

Hey
Thx but I have the highest update you can get to this phone. And I'm happy for this, because it gives me all i need. I don't even use my xiaomi mi 11 ultra... I had it for around 3 weeks now, but this tiny display is hard to work with
And most amazing part I got 2 security updates the last 5-6 weeks, it surprised me a lot

Hey,
Kinda confused here. Do you have the chinese version? Because I noticed you have 11.0.0.155. But I'm on 11.0.0.142 on C636. How were you able to get 155 when i dont?
Hi
Yes i have a Chinese version 256gb 8gb EU rom version and I bought it on Aliexpress like this.
So it's really a upgrade vs my first M20X C636 Hong Kong version
Took 3 weeks to be delivered.
And as I told, I still get security updates for it
Take a look

Ok thats what i thought.
Today I tried the samsung note 20 ultra at a store. I have to admit it looks very good! It may be a bit smaller than the 20x but its still a big phone with an amazing sharp bright screen. I'm very tempted into selling my 20x and buying the note 20 ultra instead. Very tempted.
I understand you, tried the same with S21 ultra BUT, for me the display is much smaller and the battery time sucks big time vs M20X and that's enough for me to go back to my beloved M20X.
And I think the same will happen with Mi 11 ultra. When I compare speed etc, I don't feel any big difference at all. So M20X is still 95% up to date.
But wish you good luck then
