[Dups!]

Now that this is out of the way, can't wait for the Mate 30X.

How did you get hold of one so fast to compare ?!

P20 pro is such a fantastic phone. Now they had to go mess it up with a curved screen.

Was seriously considering getting it :-(

Back on topic, my choice would be P30, not Pro.

Yeah, we know

Cant find the original article with the 'all clear' report but thisw give good info : https://www.reuters.com/article/us-...n-scrutiny-ahead-of-5g-auctions-idUSKCN1MX1VB

Granted its for 5g network equipment not phones

 

[lestoran]

Yeah, we know

Was thinking p30 myself due to flat screen and smaller size but seems its less tough with the lesser IP spec.

Expected a bit more, the P20 launch was way more exciting...

The P30 Pro is basically just a cheaper Samsung S10+. also not sure why Huawei is still using 1080p screens, it's not 2016 anymore.

Definitely no reason to go above 1080p on cellphone screens, tablets yes but not phones
Keeping it at 1080p is a plus as it saves battery power.

Yeah, they look quite nice, but not for me. My sights are set on next years Galaxy Note 11.

Would rather get an S10 at the same price just for resale value.

I think biggest negative of getting a Samsung purely for the resale value, is having to use a Samsung until you sell it ...

I use the same reason with my Volvo and a friends BMW - similar original price / mileage etc and he got R15,000 more on a trade after 3 years ... but he drove a BMW for 3 years to 'get' the extra R5,000 per year. I can use the same example in speakers - B&Ws always sell easily and get more on resale than my Elac speakers, but at the end day the Elac are better and I've thoroughly enjoyed my time with them.

Is it worth it at the end of the day, to buy something inferior and gain a little extra on trade ?

That’s why I’m using an iPhone atm. Can’t stand Samsung’s bloat. Pixel 3 was a failure so iOS till Pixel 4.

Also... if you want resale on a car everybody knows you buy a Toyota

1080p is the default res on the S10/+. I kept my S8 on 1080p/default because of battery life... My guess is that most does it on the S10 as well.

You need a 4K screen on a 6 inch device? You can't see the difference.
