Id get a code now, what if huawei patches it somehow or gets a lawsuit on them? Probably already in the process of doing so, unless they're supporting them and just wanted to make some money on the sly :D imagine haha
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] Theandroidfan:
Has anyone else noticed that if you power off the phone and power it on, it seems to make the phone run faster and smoother? I have the auto power off and on set for everyday.
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] chefnoob:
Mine actually does the opposite. It's very laggy from startup. After maybe 30min or so, the lag lessens.
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] Prestef:
Does anyone noticed that Huawei photo gallery is laggy? Mine and also the one of other p20 and p20 pro lags in changing from one photo to another. Mate 20 pro gallery is much better without any lag. This is annoying, it seems to be back 5 years or so...
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] Theandroidfan:

I also have problems scrolling websites smoothly. I use a Honor 6x and a Samsung Tab A 2016 10,1 T580 but with the right browser version scrolling is still smooth, not only kinetic scrolling.

Thats why i still prefer and use Opera_45_1_Generic_Opera_ARMv7_LZMA.apk

We still can get it form their pub, but how long? They don't add new beta apks already.

Shoot a video that shows this certain scrolling issue.

its on youtube watch?v=XGjarsHZvjc

"Android: No Projectbutter (60fps) website scrolling anymore? only when kinetic scrolling"

For google chrome on my Sams Tab A i found a solution.

The option that solves this scrolling problem is hidden in chrome "chrome://flags" and is called

"Enable resampling scroll events"

Chrome Version 70.0.3538.80 offers 5 options.

When i activate "Enabled kalman" or "Enable isq", scrolling is smooth again.

at least on my Sams Tab

opera for android doesn't offer this option

any comments welcome

P.S. i think there are too many hardware platforms out there so the software engineers dont have every combination in mind when doing a update

---------- Post added at 04:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:01 PM ----------

same here

homescreen, android setting is still 60 fps - project butter - all fine

Another app that also does real poor scrolling is com.nynix.knots3d like my nokia 5800 did 10 years ago

8.1.0 161 occasional stuttering occurs especially visible while scrolling in google play/now.

Moreover opening folder animation is extremely laggy when you have split screen and play yt at thr same time. It hasn't been fixed in Pie. Not a deal breaker but it shows clearly that software optimization (multitasking) leaves huge room to improve.
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] tenchu_712:
Me too

Scrolling through pictures is a pain for my eyes
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] XDARoni:
I read through many of the users explaining their issues with scrolling and animation speeds on the P20 Pro. I am running EMUI 9.1 and have not experienced any of these issues yet. Everything is very smooth.
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] dlads:
Compared to what though? Coming from a OnePlus 5 I can certainly see a lack of fluidity.

It's like flashing AOSP coming from a stock ROM.

It's still functional but it's certainly not as smooth as the phone can achieve.

AOSIP has been amazing when I had it installed.

Back on emui now and locked the bootloader down..

Hoping 10 brings the speed and fluidity I know this device is capable of

They're getting better, still not oneplus smooth but better than they were before.

My P20 Pro gets VERY warm even without gaming under heavy screen usage. Lightroom, google photos, email, hangouts... I then put it in my pants pocket and could feel the heat noticeably till it cooled down.

Weird. Mine is fine. Something sucking up cpu time in the background maybe?
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] NemosNemos:
Mine gets quite warm even after light use (especially in the upper left corner).

Does the same happen to you? Is it normal?
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] Friction117:
Hi, same thing happens to me, albeit after a bit longer/more demanding use.

I've noticed when playing PUBG only, after the latest update that gives the game suite and some sec updates i think, the phone becomes warm, and then the heat from the battery/cpu interferes with the touchscreen and exactly where my finger is to move in pubg, its the warmest.

Thus it stops registering my finger and i quit moving in the game, wouldn't notice this on daily use of course, but i think it is a huge issue. Not because i died multiple times due to that in the game, but as it is a new and kindof premium phone, this shouldn't happen at all and was working perfectly for 2 months before that.

I've even installed an app to measure the temperature and it goes up to about 49 degrees celsius.

Any ideas?
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] Aightek:
Don't have any issue. Was using iPhone 6 and it was literally burning while am playing any game.

This device is far from getting warm compared to iPhone 6 and 7.
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] XDARoni:
I'd say the P20 Pro is average when it comes to heat during use. It will never get uncomfortably hot, but can get fairly warm when gaming.
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] XDA_RealLifeReview:
At the club, at the bar, or just in your mom's basement, nighttime is when you come out to play. Rate this thread to express how the Huawei P20 Pro's camera performs when no or low light is present. A higher rating indicates that the camera sensor "sees" lots of light in dim conditions, and that the resulting photos have minimal noise. A higher rating also indicates that when the flash fires, the resulting photo is evenly-lit without any bright spots.

[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] Jamestdd:
The fact that the photo taken with limited light and shaky hand after gym, I'm quite impressed. But the photo does look like too much post processing involved and on the soft side.
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] TonyWoo:
Haven't tried night mode but I took some shots side by side with the Pixel 2 XL this weekend in a restaurant with low light and the Pixel 2 shots were clearly more detailed and brighter.
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] Jamestdd:
So far beside low light shoot, I don't really like the over processing photo of p20pro. My old mate 9 photo looks more pleasant to my eye than this...

Excellent hw and superb camera app killed by the stupid processing..

P20 Pro vs Pixel 2 XL...

I have both devices currently and from my very brief short time with the P20 pro , the pictures taken with it don't even come close to the quality you can get from the Pixel 2 XL.

Please tell me its just a case of faulty software, else I think I may be taking this phone back sadly.

Problems so far

Images lack any real detail and are very soft

HDR mode still hidden

Night Mode whilst great is still a 4 sec picture.. (but still soft ) - (The advantage you get from those 4 secs does not seem worth it from my quick test - but i'll keep testing)

Camera UI is rubbish... (subjective i know)

But it will be interesting to know if anyone else as similar experiences , as most reviewers online appear to suggest that this is the best camera phone ever!

---------- Post added at 09:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:40 AM ----------

Soft images.
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] Socialnotworking:
Photo Quality

Have taken a few shots with the camera, the modes are the same pretty much as in the Mate 10 Pro so you have fully manual "Pro Mode" which shoots RAW plus a range of features including;

HDR

Light Painting

Monochrome

Aperture

Portrait

Night Shot

Panorama

The beauty mode is now a lot less aggressive on 0 setting and in portrait mode you can get some amazing detail and shallow depth of field.

The overall star is night shot which takes a 3 second long exposure which is fully stabilized and its like a super HDR setting which blows away the Mate 10 Pro I had before. Even using zoom (pinch to zoom on screen is enabled) the level of detail and depth is like using a dedicated camera.

I think with photography and equipment there is a large element of variation in the skill of the reviewers and unless you have both cameras in identical circumstances which is nigh on impossible, its difficult to be fair to compare. A lot of reviews I have seen go on about the AI not being perfect, which it isn't yet on any phone but its nice that this technology is developing to allow better shots for average Joe.

I normally use a full frame Sony Alpha and I can honestly say so far the image quality I am getting on the P20 Pro is the best of any phone I have used.

I cant comment on the XL but I have owned the Mate 10 Pro, Note 8, S8+ and IPhone 7 all recently and although these are all good phones with great cameras the shots I have got out of the P20 Pro so far have impressed me a lot more.

As a side note personally I would never use any of the AI modes except Night Shot, I never use the AI enabled render modes which is where many of the reviewers have had problems because its not a perfected science yet.
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] NZtechfreak:
This is a good phone to benchmark the camera chops of the reviewer, those who can actually do anything more than point n shoot photos are taking amazing shots with this phone. I'm stunned how good a lot of the shots are.
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] jaju123:
It's the zoom that really makes this phone. You can extract detail from shots that no other phone (especially the pixel 2) could remotely pull off. You can frame a subject at 5x zoom and get a detailed shot whereas the pixel 2 would be a blurry mess.
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] TonyWoo:
Disappointing

I'm also comparing shot for shot with the Pixel 2 XL and finding so far, apart from zoom, the P20 Pro is inferior to the Pixel 2. So far using only auto mode on both phones the Pixel shots are visibly superior, picking out more detail and producing better low light pictures. The only exception is the 5x zoom which is absolutely phenomenal on the P20. I've yet to try any night shots because it's been pretty much constant rain since the phone arrived. Considering the hype, I'm really disappointed in it. I know if I pull out the Pixel and grab a shot it's going to be good 99% of the time. I don't want to have to **** around with the settings every time I want to take a photo. Also the front facing camera is a joke. Even with beauty mode turned off, the image lacks detail and is ridiculously overexposed. The AI isn't particularly useful either - tried taking a photo of my dog in the garden and the AI went nuts flicking between the dog and greenery settings. There's a good camera in this phone but the Huawei processing is smothering it.
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] Jamestdd:
Huawei camera always more suitable for professional or those who love to play with settings. As a point and shoot I do see Samsung and pixel are capable of shooting better photos. But with a superior hardware I do believe there is nothing Huawei can't fix with a software update.
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] grizzlyspid86:
In P20 pro u use 40mp or 10mp supersampling resolution? Better stick to 10mp dude, and did it has an option to turn off the AI scene recognition? If have, turn it off.

[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] TonyWoo:
The biggest problem I'm having is the wildly variable greens. Sometimes it will go nuts and make grass look like some kind of weird neon lit alien landscape then in the next shot, perfect. This happens with the AI on and off. Everything else is pretty close to natural, just doesn't seem able to handle grass.
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] Noexcusses:
Hello guys.. p20 pro camera is doing well but no perfect!! Im sure that will be an update as fast as possible... but the realy problem isnt the 40 mp camera but the selfie camera witch is 24mp and the quality is very low and some times selfi captures seems discolored!!

anyone else noticed that discolored?
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] dannejanne:
Bad quality for the hardware that's inside. Terribly overprocessed images that looks very fake most of the time. Only way to bypass that is to shot in 40mp but that introduces heavy purple fringe. Someone at Huawei should get fired. Both my iPhone X and LG V10 gives me better images.

[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] ijuanp03:
I recently bought a P20 and as a previous P10 owner, the front 24mp camera of the P20 is AWFUL. I will NOT sugar coat it but this thing has a very very bad front camera. It looks like an upscaled 5MP camera. Images are soft and overexposed. Dynamic range is pretty bad! Huawei just wanted to put a higher resolution since most China OEMs have 24MP cameras these days.

The 8mp f/1.9 front camera of the P10 is much clearer, sharper in ALL lighting conditions. I miss the feature wherein the front camera field of view will change if you are taking a group shot.

Youtube reviewers are too scared to criticize the front camera solely because Huawei have been sponsoring their flights and accommodation on their annual P series events.

I just received the phone last week

And I am not that impressed by the camera

Pixel 2 xl still is the camera king (if it wasn't for the updates breaking the phone and quality control I wouldn't have changed my pixel 2xl)

Even in low light

The p20 pro only has the night mode going for it

Has anyone figured out why the "Sharpening the image, keep steady your device" message sometimes pops up sometime does not (shooting the same subject regardless of lighting conditions, it happens in daylight as well) ?

OK then you can go on xiaomi MI note 2 if you don't perfect shots my friend. I got a perfect phone I need perfect shots specially in day or semi light.

[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] rvilhena:
It's been a lot of discussion between Pixel 2, Iphone X and P20 Pro. We can't compare thinks that it's impossible to compare. P20 pro camera is for the photography geeks, who understand how to use the most of all manual settings, then you can get amazing photos. This is the reason because a came from an Iphone X to P20 pro. And what make me to change was a single thing: night shot. I do like to take night shots, and with the iPhone X it's totally impossible, you cannot get a single clear shot. In P20 pro I'm able to take shoots of the stars or even get the milky way with an exceptional sharpness, car light trail, soft water and more... All this thanks to manual mode. And this is something you simple can't do on as iPhone or on a Pixel. Well, you can, but using staking as processing method on computer.

Now, If we are talking about point and shot, without messing with settings, then the Pixel 2 is above. The Google HDR + is an overkill!

So, it depend about how far you want to take your photography skills and what type of use you do from your smartphone camera.

For me, I'm happy with the P20 pro. I know it's far from perfect, but allows me to do the same type of photography that I can do with my heavy SLR.

One more thing, I doubt that there any other phone on the market that have a processing Black and White (single sensor). The sharpness, contrast, dynamic range is amazing...

Just curious, are you one of those social media "photographer"? [emoji6]
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] dannejanne:
The P20 Pro is best used if you actually use all of the different modes it offer. I would not say it's a point & shoot camera. It's a camera for aware photographers that knows how photography works and understands aperture/shutter relationship etc. It gives me awful results in auto 10mp at times and then I have to work against the camera as much as I can with my own settings to get a more neutral photo. It just overdoes heavily in processing from time to time. Then 40mp is a good option for the most part then edit the photo yourself. I would say it's very unreliable as a point & shoot camera. Also noise recuction is too heavy all of the time. Give me more noise that brings more details.
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] Bromsoket:
Exactly this, the "AI" and the crazy overdone processing/noise reduction just kills everything.

I do really like the Huawei camera, all the controls makes it feel like using a real one.

The stupid thing is that Huawei don't seem to have a clue on how to use the excellent camera hw..

My Complex Camera Test

Hi guys, here is my own experience with P20 Pro Camera in Youtube video:

https://youtu.be/t8bZ5VZ5efE

Thank you for watching! I own this device for two weeks now but I'm still impressed by quality of main camera.

Of course, there are some cons:

Bokeh fails in some situations.

Sometime its hard to get sharp photos using optical zoom (Secondary 8MPx Camera is not so good in low light conditions).

Camera Interface doesn't work right sometimes.
