The real deal breaker for me was not supporting Aptx but as a overall replacement go for the Sony WH-1000XM2.

Support Aptx HD and have better noise cancelling without the hissing noise (reviewers reported)
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] satchef1:
Mine were dispatched Weds. But DX are utterly hopeless. Wait in all day, nobody shows up, get told delivery failed as nobody was in. Try again the following day, and still nothing. I'd rather have given them a few quid to use DPD.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Bwfcmadlad17:
Yeah I will try switching them around tonight and see what happens. If not I guess it could be a trip to the local bose shop to have them checked out
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Lolpoppa:
Wow, there's a LOT of headphone on Flea-bay and Spock!
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Spinnerdcc:
Yeah, my missus liked mine so much I had to buy her a pair. Somebody accepted my offer of £200.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Bwfcmadlad17:
Switching the headphones around still gives me the low hiss noise in the opposite side now which indicates to me the issue is with the single side cup. If we encounter any issues with the headphones do we take them to bose or do we need to deal with huawei do you think?
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] adamelphick:
I would imagine Bose. Their shops are usually really good with guarantee issues. We had a sports set, took them in as they got a problem, swapped no questions asked.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Bwfcmadlad17:
I have tried a number of recommend fixes for the headphones without any success and the noise in the left ear cup was always present. Contacted bose directly who have issued me a return and replace service so hopefully the next pair will be super quiet once they arrive.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] ATZ-007:
Regarding discount, I'd try to speak to customer service (191) as they have given me discount + reduced upfront cost.

I'm planning to sell the headphones.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] nonexcludable:
My wife bought it on mobiles.co.uk on O2 -10GB data £34.00*24 months and £100 upfront (after the voucher code). Pricey but she has been after noise cancelling headphones for a while so that sealed the deal.

She spent a hellish 30 minutes on the phone with Three cancelling her sim-only contract. They couldn't budge from the £47 a month for 12GB contract, despite being with them for seven years which seems crazy. I wonder if that could indicate more pre-order interest than they expected and low stock?

She got the blue colour as the Twilight seems unavailable everywhere in the UK.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] daz_2000:
I'm after a dual SIM one and looking like three.co.uk is the only place to get one. Although I'm hoping Amazon list it ahead of launch date. (They are listed as a reseller on the Huawei Bose page)

Does anyone know the cancellation policy for contract. From what I have read. I can pay off the contract with a 20% discount.

E.g. pay £99 for handset on 24 month deal at £35 per month.

Then cancel after first month.

So I would have paid £99 + £35 + £644 = £778

The 778 is 23 months x 35 -20%

Have I got that right?
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] nathlynn2201:
Hey guys I'm looking at this P20 Pro.

Not had a Huawei phone before not knowing what to expect.

I currently have a OnePlus 5 which Dev support is strong. Hoping the same for the P20 Pro.

I'm SIM Free with EE £18 a month for unlimited Texts and calls and 20gb data. Hoping they will sort a deal.

Noticed alot of you are looking at selling the head phones to offset the cost. Just wondering what headphones you will then use with the phone? Cheers.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] front firing speakers:
I might buy two phones and sell both headphones. After a 20% discount from very it reduces the phone down to around £200
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] nathlynn2201:
Where is the 20% very discount from.

I've just looked into it and found out can get 20% off we contracts through my work so I think I'm sorted.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] hunhool:
Just pre-ordered(upgraded my t-mobile contract) here in the Netherlands at belsimpel.nl

It'll be a dual sim version with a free Huawei EnVizion 360 camera instead of the headphones. Can't wait to get it.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] nathlynn2201:
I might give it a miss the device community on the P10 and Mate 10 looks quiet. Such a shame only phone which has peaked my interest
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] front firing speakers:
UK buyers only on handset only. £799 minus 20% minus selling the headphones
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] mushtafa:
How have you worked this out?

£800 - 20% = £640. The headphones are selling on eBay for around £250, and may drop even further once it's flooded with people selling them from the pre-orders. So £640 - £250 = £390
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] front firing speakers:
going to but two phones, sell one for say £700 and sell both headphones
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] croques:
just an observation; there will be a delay between claiming the headphones and getting them of up to 30 days - so says the Huawei blurb.

All the opportunists will be on eBay trying to sell their Bose QC35s at the same time as clutching a black or blue 128GB phone but really wanting a 256GB twilight model. EBay and PayPal between them take 15% - so on a £250, (if you can get that much), eBay sale that's just £212.50 left for you.

Bose, themselves, are probably using this giveaway prior to a new model release - so the retail price of the QC35 may drop in the Summer.

I've seen one month contract plans on Carphonewarehouse for £759 upfront. So it seems the opening price is high and will probably be discounted. to keep attracting the punters.

Finally I had a pair of Bose QC35s last Summer and found them to be dire and sent them straight back. If I so much as moved my head I lost the bluetooth signal. I now use Bose QC25s with a BT adaptor.

And those planning to get 20% off at Very. They say 'Electricals' do not qualify - and they class a mobile phone as an electrical.

Good luck one and all.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] esiemi:
very true. the headphones sell for about £250 now, once everyone put theirs on eBay it will probably go down to about £200 ( minus 15% = £170) and almost everyone's planing to sell as i have seen on various forum and sites, also imagine if Bose has a new model and discounts these.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] front firing speakers:
that's all fair comment. only saving grace is that I've a £1 ebay selling fee offer and the very discount is working, it's in my basket right now.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] the_crevis:
The Very 20% off offer worked for me when I bought my current Samsung S7 Edge 2 years ago!
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] nathlynn2201:
Is that the first credit order 20%?
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] front firing speakers:
no a follow up offer after 3 months after account was opened
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] the_crevis:
It was the first credit order for me!
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Socialnotworking:
Ordered mine last week

I have ordered a P20 Pro from Carphone Warehouse in blue, single sim 128GB hoping the headphone audio wont suck like my Mate 10 Pros but already noticed the P20 has a 24bit DAC compared to the 32bit in the Mate so not too hopeful.

I could only find black models listed on mobilephonesdirect who are usually cheapest and they wanted more money anyway.

I looked around and for 16GB 4G data on Vodafone they had the best deal at £79 up front and £43 per month x 24m.

I need Vodafone due to the area I live in although I know EE and O2 had some good deals.

I am starting to wonder if it was such a good idea as the performance benchmarks look pretty poor compared to the S9+ and iPhone X, even though my Mate 10 Pro performs well I wonder how it will affect resale and also performance on future apps as they become more demanding.

Have tried the QC35s at the Bose shop previously and liked the sound/comfort and they did totally block out all the noise in the shop but couldnt justify £300 on a pair of headphones at the time.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] stayloa:
I preordered on Sunday. I'm stuck in a contract with o2 at the moment anyway and I can get the phone for £580 through them and then "upgrade" to a Sim only for 12 months to tide me over until the s10 etc. So long as I can sell it for £72 or more I'm break even against my current contract and not tied in again after that.

The headphones made the deal for me. I'll keep them but would never have bought them otherwise.

It's not going to be the best phone on the market but coming from an s8+, I just wasn't blown away by the s9 and so this is something new to play with for a year!
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SmokyM79:
I wouldn't worry too much about performance, the iPhone cheats on benchmarks, and the new exynos chip in the s9 is a complete shambles, creates too much heat and throttles like mad.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Socialnotworking:
Agreed, having owned two devices with Snapdragon 835s I would say the Huawei combo is superior but I havent tried anything with the 845 as yet but know all about the One Plus benchmarking scandal and guess like the VW emissions saga if one does it there are probably more...

The main reason I am taking the plunge is the Mate 10 Pro is the only phone I havent got bored of after a few weeks apart from the Note 8 and whilst I loved the Note, screen freezing drove me mad when a protector was fitted and all the ones which covered the edge panel fouled against the cases and eventually cracked anyway. Also it was just plain too heavy.

If the P20 Pro is a Mate 10 Pro with slightly better camera and audio to match the iPhone 7 I will be very happy and the headphones will just be a bonus :good:
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SmokyM79:
Yeah I'm really looking forward to trying out the headphones, one of the reasons I decided to pre order
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] nathlynn2201:
Hmmm I don't know whether to take the plunge. All my phone's previous I have rooted and put different ROMs on which I enjoy doing with my phone's. If the P20 Pro isn't like that I don't know if it will keep me entertained. I like it for looks shame the twilight version isn't available to preorder from providers. And it is the headphones pulling me in abit aswell. Just taking it for a 2 year contract I know I will want to change next year lol. It may be a case I sell the headphones and my current Oneplus 5 to lower the amount to repay. Or buy it from very and do the same...
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] ATZ-007:
P20 Pro is going to be my first Huawei phone. Anyone know how soon Huawei releases Kernel sauce and how they deal with warranty on rooted phone?
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] rav101:
I know I started this thread but I have take the decision to cancel my order. My reasons are as follows:

1) Processor: it's 6 months old and the next one will come out with the Mate 10 follow up in Q4. That will be the equivalent to the 845 which is already out.

2) Sources: I can see that Huawei do release sources but they take their sweet time about it.

3) Development: This will be treble compatible but looking at previous phones, the development isn't strong. Most likely not stock based ROMs that take advantage of the camera and no guarantee that the camera app can be ported 100% successfully.

These are considerations for me. The pull towards this phone is the amazing camera and I'm still half tempted by it. I want to see how development progresses for this phone with Treble and if good, then could consider the Mate 10 Pro follow up which would also likely have a really good camera.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] lawtq:
I've pre-ordered like you, and my excitement is diminishing really fast. Main reason, the old chipset. Ain't worth the asking price cause of that.

P20 pro really should have been the porche model with the built in fingerprint sensor on the screen and the 2k resolution! Why do huawei persist with this dang porch version no one buys?! Even if you wanted it good luck trying to find it!

Even if it was the porche version it'd still have that old kiren 970 which is just show compared to my S9!

P20 pro needs the extra power to utilize that camera properly. I'll try it but I'm no longer excited.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Deano1889:
I've pre-ordered and am also in two minds to cancel. I think have very similar wants and needs from a device and the P20 Pro does not sit right with me, they drew me in with the free Bose headphones that I wanted anyway aside from the phone but I keep asking myself if it's right for me. It's seeming all about the camera and, for me, a decent photo is all I needed doesn't have to be world leading. Audio on the other hand is a big sell. I'll have 14 days to return my order so no later than 21st April. Hopefully OnePlus will have announced their device then and I can see if that will be better. We know already it'll have a headphone jack so the Bose headphones won't be needed for me as I already have high end jack headphones.

What other devises are you looking at?

For me it's the OnePlus 6 that should have a strong Dev community and headphone jack + killer specs?

HTC 12 that will probably disappoint despite me really hoping it doesn't

LG 7 but I've never been a fan of their designs or lack of any urgency with filling out updates
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] rav101:
Hey buddy,

Looking at your signature I can see that you are also a HTC and Leedroid user. I use his rom on my HTC which I'm now using as a work phone.

I am looking at the OnePlus 6 and the Nokia flagship for 2018 (Nokia 8 Pro, Nokia 9 or whatever it will be called).

OnePlus 6: It will have great dev community, the headphone jack and coming with Oreo it will also have treble support for even quicker updates you would imagine.

Nokia 9: I believe this phone will have a bootloader unlock service, I just don't know about kernel sources as they didn't release any for their 2017 devices. With the Nokia 7 Plus coming imminently, we will get an idea of how HMD will handle their phones in 2018 in relation to both of these points.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] nathlynn2201:
I went from HTC 10 to OnePlus 5. Was a user of viper 10 and leedroid.

[emoji106][emoji106]

I'm going to wait for the Oneplus 6 aswell I think. Or even a pixel phone which I haven't yet had. Shame the P20 does look good.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] easycure1974:
iPhone cheats on benchmarks, do you believe that crap yourself? Different android OEMs are known for cheating benchmarks but not Apple. And besides, who’s cares about meaningless benchmarks ?
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] gavinfabl:
Maybe you should try video editing on an iPhone X, rendering it, exporting to YouTube. Then try the same on any other phone. The iPhone X processor smokes the competition. But as said above. It doesn’t matter.

Got an update from Carphone Warehouse, my order is being prepared for shipping. Ought to have it on time this Friday.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] lawtq:
That's good cause preorder delivery dates da have changed now.

Update via text or email?
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] scook94:
Looks like they sold out of their preorder allocation. Got my update via email.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] orbital247:
Wow yeah Carphone Warehouse now 20th April for Black and 10th May for Blue !!!

Selling like hotcakes or low stock, id venture for selling well due to the Bose offer...
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] gavinfabl:
I wonder if that's because you went for the black colour ?

Has anyone who pre ordered the blue got an email from CPW?
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] lawtq:
Ordered blue. Heard nothing. I was told 6th, it better be 6th. Cpw have always delivered on time in the past. But I've heard nothing. Anyone else heard about blue? Pre-ordered on the 28th
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SmokyM79:
I pre-ordered the blue and have had my email today saying my order has been received and is being processed.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] gavinfabl:
When did you pre order the blue from CPW?
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] mushtafa:
After spending the last week trying to decide on this handset, I've taken plunge and made my order. Hope it's as good as it looks.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SmokyM79:
On the 30th
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] DaveP2611:
So seems the Blue variant is releasing later 10th May delivery now expected on my order.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] gavinfabl:
But have you had that confirmed. Earlier pre orders should hopefully still be 6th April.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] DaveP2611:
Maybe, but mine was ordered at 8:45am the day pre-orders were launched here in the UK (28th March). I can't imagine many were before me, but never know.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] gavinfabl:
You should be fine. Won't know until later either if there is a problem. Cpw told me this morning the system on my order still days 6th.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] DaveP2611:
Yeah I would have thought I should be fine (Ordered through mobiles.co.uk which is part of CPW group) but I've had the order update of the 10th May yet with that order time I would have thought I'd have early stock.

Hope yours sticks to the delivery schedule but I'm kind of resigned to not getting it tomorrow now.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] lawtq:
So you've heard nothing either?
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] DaveP2611:
I've had the email stating my order is delayed until 10th May
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] lawtq:
Damn. Must be cause you ordered from them instead of cpw?
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] DaveP2611:
Yeah I'm assuming so.

I mean it was quite a bit cheaper on mobiles hence going with them, but would have expected the stock to be there though.

Paid £240 up front, then £23 a month for 4GB contract with possible £42 cashback too. £750 for the phone and a two year contract seemed better than what CPW had direct.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] gavinfabl:
Mobiles.co.uk have been known to do this .

I just hope CPW don't mess around anyone who pre ordered early. Although it could be lack of stock by Huawei rather than a CPW fault.

Carphone Warehouse Orders

They are delivering anything ordered before the end of March by tomorrow and anything after this is early May as it stands currently. Colour doesnt make any difference its just their guaranteed allocation period ended at the end of March.:fingers-crossed:
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] DaveP2611:
I'm assuming they would prefer to keep their main site customers happy rather than their discounted sites. No other reasoning for it that I can see.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] the_crevis:
I ordered the blue version from Mobiles.co.uk on March 28th. Got an email this morning saying delivery had been pushed to May 10th! So I phoned up and switched it to black, which should now arrive tomorrow.

Colour doesn't matter that much as I would have put a case on it anyway... Or so I keep telling myself :'(
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SmokyM79:
I've just had a text from cpw saying my order had been dispatched.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] BurtieBL:
I ordered a blue one from mobiles.co.uk too (29th March) but haven't received an email regarding delivery yet.

Called them to check and change to black but they said mine was being picked to be delivered tomorrow. If you call them use this number: 01509 618770 it goes to the same dept as the expensive 0871 number.

[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] DaveP2611:

Just cancelled my pre-order in uk as Very offered 20% off s9+ and couldn't resist. Ive owned mate 10pro and now iPhone x so I expect the p20 pro to be very good but gonna try the s9+ for cheaper. Enjoy guys

Pre-ordered mine via Mobiles.co.uk on 31 March 2018 and had the delay email sat in my spam which now says delivery on 20th April. This actually plays in my favour as hopefully by then the OnePlus6 will have been announced giving me more time to decide if it's best to go with the OP6
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Neo_Sk8eR:
I was thinking of the S9+ but seeing as the exynos model has been crippled so much in terms of battery I decided to give the P20 a try.

Oh damn, well when I phoned up this morning they had no blue stock (mobiles.co.uk) and oh well as long as I get a phone tomorrow. My now black p20 pro hasn't been despatched yet :eek:

Yep, i have the s9 Exynos version and the battery life is ridiculous, also call silence issues.... can't wait to get rid (so will be miffed if the P20 doesn't come tomorrow from Three!)

[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] potblack2win:
Your lucky you should be able to swap it with three.

Complain the phone has a defect so they will push it through faster

Strangely enough the S9+ doesn't have the same issue mainly be due to the extra 500mh battery capacity on the handset. Hopefully, in the long run, this will push Samsung to further improve their phones with a standard 4000mah battery
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] gavinfabl:
I received from CPW, my DPD tracking number. Blue. Order 27/3. My local CPW store said their central warehouse showed 650 P20 Pro's available for next day delivery but only in black. This was getting the store to order.

Also, the price was around £655. I am sure that was a mistake though. I didn't get time to follow thru as I only had a few mins spare.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] DaveP2611:
That sounds more like a P20 price point isn't it? Not the Pro model.
