MyBB Review Advert:

The Huawei Mate 20 Pro destroys the Samsung Note 9 and iPhone Xs Max

Quite an advertorial, I’d always suspect bias in such a blatant advert. Which isn’t really needed considering it does appear to be a decent phone.

Amazing there’s not a word of the glue/screen issues.

I also didn’t see any reference to any phone destroying any other phone in that link. Did you make that bit up?

Maybe the green screen destroys the other 2 with toxic liquid!!

After a 3 hour episode and wait my first phone was replaced at the cell store today. And guess what... Phone 2 has a screen worse than the first one. The first one at least took 3 days to start showing the green. This one is green from the get go.... I feel the lack of proper communication in this matter has left me feeling that I should no longer have confidence in this product. I was looking forward to using this as my daily phone but I reckon I will just stick with my 2.5 year old OnePlus 3 (which is still perfect) until I find something more reliable.

Hope this is clear enough, ran out of colours.

Chatting to a Huawei Rep at a display stand yesterday, she mentioned that Huawei will throw in some goodies if you take your phone to one of the customer service stores, bluetooth ear buds and car holder etc. Anyone done this?

Damn, what a pity man.. I'd have expected this to be a defect that's traced to the source and sorted out from there. i.e. get all the LG panel Mate 20's back, and issue you with the other one

Yeah, this is something that can usually be done through IMEIs if I'm not mistaken, and then they batch them.

It will just be easier to recall all the phones in SA, not sure why they haven't done that already.

Well some are fine, some aren't. It would be an expensive exercise to recall all of them

Dave ... you're an Apple person, so you may have more knowledge on this :

But why is he iPhone XR such a low resolution screen? Someone told me that it can't do FullHD YouTube and the PPI is just under the iPhone 4 and just above the Samsung Galaxy S3. I laughed because I thought he was joking ... but when I looked at the specs, it really does have a last last last generation screen Was it a strategic decision to use the old Apple parts bin?

I think it has a last last generation battery as well and last generation RAM. But that A12 is great - just seems the only thing that's current generation ?

I saw a youtube video by Tldtoday that gets people to choose between the XR's screen and the Pocophone, without knowing which phone they are. Everyone chose the XR's screen, saying it looked crisper, better contrast, etc. So I guess it's not all about pixels

Strange.

Isn't also LED or something?
So low resolution and old technology?

I guess if it performances alright, that's what matters.

 

[asfadm]

Does Anyone know which screen MTN phones come with?

So they marketing it as being better than some cheap Chinese fong-kong phone?

 

[Dolby]

I'm actually also thinking having such a low resolution screen, must be great for the little battery! Few pixels to power

Yup, LCD panel.. 326 ppi. They must have done some voodoo to make it perform well

Lol. Suppose they could have compared it to something more in the XR's price range

Luck of the draw afaik

All those pretty colours and still no reference to how the greenie phone “destroys” the Note or iPhone.

It must be terrible to be stuck in a position where you are so scared of not getting future freebies that you feel you must blindly defend the freebie giver, even when the product has issues.

Tell you what, why don’t you link to an independent product comparison somewhere, like GSMArena, that shows how the Greenie “destroys” the iPhone or Note.

Never handled or even seen an XR screen so cant really give an opinion.

If only Apple would give me one for free then I could be like other posters and pretend it’s absolutely the best phone on the planet that just destroys everything else and has absolutely no faults or flaws .
