I thought my P10 was good, I've upgraded to the P30 pro, it is a absolutely brilliant phone, I intend to keep it until it falls to bits. wink

A couple of friends have just moved up to a P30 pro from their Galaxy S8+'s, they absolutely love it, the camera sts on my S9+'s and the wifes S10 cameras.

the new xiaomi camera phone with 108MP sensor could be interesting but it just uses pixel binning to produce 27MP images gonna need to do some magic for low light noise though even though its a bigger sensor

Friend of mine had an iphone 6 and she upgraded to a P30 Pro on the basis of my P20. I'm somewhat jealous...

I'll be looking at the P30 Pro next year on the grounds that anything else is unlikely to be fully Google sanctioned.

Desperately needing a new phone, currently have a Huawei P9 Lite (old school!) have been considering a P30 Lite, would this be a worthwhile move? Biggest issue with my current phone is its becoming very slow and space is full.

I was very impressed with my friends iPhone 11 and the camera, any similarities? or is this more the P30 Pro? worth the extra money?

My 10 lite was a good phone, I considered the 30 lite, but looking at the specs, the pro was a far better phone.

P30 lite is about 1/3 the cost of an Iphone 11 ????

It is, went to Carphone warehouse and was told not much in them, iPhone is priced high because its an iPhone. Looking at websites/info the P30 Lite does have the same spec as the iPhone 11 (I think)

Still loving my P20 pro here, so much infact that I'm 50/50 come June 2020 on upgrading the contract or cancelling it and lobbing a 30 day sim into the handset for a while.

My friend downgraded his Mate 30 to his daughters old P20 pro when his Mate green screened and Huawei ignored the warranty request, says he doesn't really notice the difference. I never look at my phone and wish it did x or y, I probably only use 30% of what it's capable of as it is.

Don't break the fingerprint sensor either, similar money

The fingerprint sensor is under the front glass on the P30, it's not separate on the back like my P10.

My Wife's is about the same age as yours, she used the factory supplied screen protector case but I got her a Spigen clear case and a well reviewed tempered glass screen protector from the kids for Mother's day - it's still pristine under those!
She hasn't complained once about it, it just works without issue (I'll check later to see when was the last time she actually rebooted it?) Battery life is superb too - definitely sticking it on a SIM only deal at contract end as it's still overkill for her use.

Anyone seen/tried Android 10 at all? It's supposed to be available for the P20...

Am I correct in assuming that this Google issue isn't affecting and will not affect P30 pro's?

I am getting close to "pulling the trigger" (I hate that expression!!) on an early upgrade from my S9+ into a P30 pro, I have 2 friends who've recently gone from their S8+'s and can't stop talking about how good the P30 pro is.

Also am I likely to notice a discernible difference in overall performance and camera from the S9+ to the P30 pro?

I don't need to change early and I could wait for the S11, I just fancy something new and shiny

You are correct, the P30 is unaffected. I'm not sure which camera is better, all I can say is that this is the best camera phone I've owned.

Is the Beta or full version for 10 available yet?
