I've a P10 Plus and my friend has the P20 Pro. I've messed around with his phone e extensively as well as an S9 and iPhone X. The Pro pisses on my Plus, frankly. Personally, I find it much better than the Samsung and Apple efforts with low light and the battery life is far superior.
I'm a fan of EMUI too over UX. It's a nice blend of all the features and can be presented either like iOS or with an App drawer. The notch isn't too much of an issue as it can be turned off if you want.
Face ID is much better than Huaweis facial recognition but it's not really that bad in reality, maybe taking a split second longerthan the X.
Overall, a very good phone with really good camera and premium feel IMO. Have a play with one first.
That's useful to know as I have an S7 at present and my girlfriend has an S8 - I was considering an S9, but it's still expensive and I'm not at a "must have the latest shiny Galaxy" stage of life any more I'm a fan of EMUI too over UX.

Have you got a case on it?

Thought the P20s would have been up there with the S9 in price?
In Apac the P20 Pro is $1099-1200 and the S9 is $850-900
(Aus prices)
I would like one but cant quite justify the price that it costs here yet.
The contract price from O2 is really, really low... £31 a month including line rental...In Apac the P20 Pro is $1099-1200 and the S9 is $850-900

This link (from the website above) shows some interesting comparisons:

Oh, I've ordered it - It's more expensive than initially billed at £41 a month, but that will get me this phone, unlimited blah blah and 25Gb data
It's definetly the camera what's won it for me - These days most other things are secondary as it'll always do calls and texts and 128Gb internal storage (over my 16 internal and 32 external)

The camera really is very good and very sharp - The portrait "depth of field" effect that it does is really good and a handy feature (and my kids love it). I think it's head and shoulders above my old S7 and even the S8, but I can't comment on the S9
As an aside, I do find that the space bar is annoyingly too close to the "home" button and I'm forever closing whatever I'm typing in
