Haven't had any issues at all with heat even with playing Pokémon Go for two hours, battery didn't drain that fast either

The GPS is good? How much hours can you play? xD I'm a player too, and i'm buying just to play pokemon, pubg and clash royale ahaha
[Huawei Mate 20 X Real Life Review] pipereta:
I played for two hours and it used about 1000 mah, the phone has 5000 mah so I'm guessing you could easily be able to play around 6-8 hours

EDIT: The GPS is solid too

Loving the back cameras! Sadly the 24mp selfie cam doesn't have good focus so the pics aren't very detailed.

Bro did you try Google camera app ?
[Huawei Mate 20 X Real Life Review] eNiNjA83:
I tried sideloading a couple of the Google camera apks and they install fine, but when I try to open the app it force closes without any message.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Real Life Review] rowihel2012:
As usual kirin doesn't support it

Damn you Huawei :rolleyes:
[Huawei Mate 20 X Real Life Review] vasra:
Damn you Google. Google has hardcoded their app to Snapdragon specifics.

And it is their right, as their own phones (XL) ship ONLY with Snapdragons.

The pictures comming out of auto mode aren't sharp at all. There is way better details in my pixel 2XL... Also color reproduction is not good a lot of times. I'm dissapointed by the cameras
[Huawei Mate 20 X Real Life Review] ShaKki:
Selfie quality is really sick and ALOT better than the p20 pro. However i dont manage to get bokeh effect on selfie portrait mode... any idea? international version
[Huawei Mate 20 X Real Life Review] pnx81:
Works fine for me - did you tap on the symbol on the lower left corner and select an effect? Default is "none"
[Huawei Mate 20 X Real Life Review] ShaKki:
so that is new.. thought its a bug.. but thats the benefit of autmation to go into protrait mode.. if the bokeh is not active automatically?
[Huawei Mate 20 X Real Life Review] retrofred:
So far I'm pretty impressed with the quality of pictures that the phone takes. Coming from Samsung Note 9, I was worried I waste my money on the hype on the this phone, I didn't. The low light picture quality is amazing as well as the dedicated night mode. I've only had the phone two days, and it's the 128 gb version, I can already say I will need a memory card. I love catching images of just about anything, and this camera fits the bill. I will post some shots later today. The longer I have the phone and really get a feel for the camera is capable of doing, I'll post a review.

I took these the other while comparing the photo quality of my Note 9. Have to say it's close, but the Mate 20 X is better.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Real Life Review] shaolin95:
At the end of a shoot today, I remembered I wanted to try the Mate 20x so got a friend to stand in for a quick photo. Lighting was not perfect as I had moved the lights around but for a quick shot, I think it did a good job!
[Huawei Mate 20 X Real Life Review] VeEuzUKY:
Well, for that my 2 cents maybe worth, I've just had my new Mate 20 X for a week and overall love the phone. But the real letdown for me, is the camera.. not so much the camera(s) themselves, but specifically the horrendous camera app.

Starting off, everything, all "autos" and AIs and BSs need to he disabled or I will not get one single proper picture. The only way to get proper quality photos is using the 40MP setting on the main camera and shooting manual (video is always bad no matter the setting.. this phone is NOT for shooting good video).

But then the biggest gripe is that when the app is set for 40MP resolution on the main camera, it will disable access to the wide-angle and telephoto lenses. This makes no sense what so ever. The 10MP setting absolutely sucks.. absurd over processing, contrast and sharpening. The only way yo get acceptable quality and most natural looking images is by using the 40MP setting with the main camera (under good lighting conditions). And then if I want to use the wide-angle or tele lens for a particular shot, I have to go back into Settings, fall back to the default 10MP option just so there is access to the other lenses. This is really really so bad. Why isn't there a setting of simply bring able to usr all the of 3 sensors' full native resolution instead of having to fall back to 10MP picture size just to be able to switch cameras? Is there a workaround this or another camera app than can work in a more logical way than the Huawei's camera app?

This aside, I love the phone.. great batter life, super fast, incredible overall build quality, really awesome hardware.. maybe the last great phone from Huawei for the foreseeable future as things look pretty grim for them. But the camera app, wow.. what a nightmare.

Anyway, maybe I'm doing something wrong and I haven't figured it out yet.. tanks in advance for any advice.

M8, I'm thinking of trading note 8 and get mate20x...are you really happy with it...camera is really important to me.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Real Life Review] scienceguylabs:
You will not be disappointed with the camera. It's still one of the best.

It is one of the features of the phone. I actually sold mine, but looking to get another one.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Real Life Review] Swanage34105:
In the latest 9.1 update, the digital zoom is now 30X whereas before I think it was only 10X.

Wow. I just checked on mine, and you're correct. Now, if I could verify the Moon mode AI feature. I went out this morning to take a picture of the Moon, but did not notice a difference.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Real Life Review] mcall_r:
How are you liking your Mate20X compared to Note9? I just got a Note9 and I love it in every single area, except battery life. I have an Exynos variant 8GB/512GB and I am very disappointed in the battery life coming from P20 Pro. I don't feel like I should have to spend hours on these forums, resetting the phone etc etc in order to get the best out of the battery. It should just work!

Also, the camera on the Note9 to me is much superior to P20 Pro. Images are very sharp and natural looking, but not over sharpened or processed like P20. How does mate 20x compare to Note 9 for the realistic photos?

Thanks in advance.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Real Life Review] mitranator:
Hi guys, anybody else dissapointed by the camera results on the Mate 20X?

At the beginning I was actually thinking I might have been scammed with a fake phone. But it's a real one but the photo image quality and the video results a far from being one of the best from what I've had in the past.

For a long time I had flagship phones from different names and the Lg "V" series and the Samsung Notes were giving way better results. On the Mate 20X manual "pro" mode it's not too bad but the video quality it's just plain bad watched on a tv. Anyone else? Other than that I love my phone but it's such a major disappointment.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Real Life Review] ooMoo:
I totally agree. I love the size and screen on the 20x but the camera is disappointing. I miss the camera of my note7
[Huawei Mate 20 X Real Life Review] btblue:
Umm... The camera is stellar. Hands down better than Note 9. Video performance is brilliant, I'm impressed with it enourmosly. Low light is also fantastic.

That camera for me is one of the top features.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Real Life Review] retrofred:
The camera and screen size are why I went back to this phone. The pictures are like anything else, if you rush to take a shot you'll get so so results, but if you take the time to get a good shot, the results are almost DSLR quality. I know most people want a camera on their phone that just takes good shot the first time, let's be real, that doesn't happen. Here's one from today at the Skypark. It was a quick shot, but the lighting just right and came out great. This was with wide angle lens. The second was indoors shooting out and I had to focus it just right to the effect I hoping for.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Real Life Review] scienceguylabs:
My experience with the camera has been stellar. Takes really great shots.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Real Life Review] shaolin95:
The camera is good for IG , FB but "almost DSLR" quality? I am a photographer..lets not get carried away here ;)
[Huawei Mate 20 X Real Life Review] retrofred:
I said almost [emoji846]. I have had many phones with "the best camera so far" and have to say that this is one is my favorite. Nothing can beat a DSLR in right hands, but for my general use of a camera, it works for me.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Real Life Review] shaolin95:
Like a said "almost" is still a big exaggeration. Don't get me wrong, for social Media it does great, in fact it seems its processing it's made to look good for that purposes but no, is not almost as good even to a great 1" sensor much less higher end cameras. And that goes for even the best camera phones (which I consider the Mate to be one of them)
[Huawei Mate 20 X Real Life Review] retrofred:
And like I said for my general use, the Mate does a great job. Maybe as my desire for better quality pictures, I might decide to get my hands a good DSLR camera, but for now I'm content with what I have.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Real Life Review] retrofred:

[Huawei Mate 20 X Real Life Review] limpbisquit:
Anyone notice the cameras are very hit and miss? Aside from always overexposing, the 3x zoom comes out very soft most of the time, and a lot of pics look very overprocessed even when ai is turned off.

Edit: it seems like using the main cam and zooming in has better quality than the 3x.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Real Life Review] ahhoe:
With AI on
[Huawei Mate 20 X Real Life Review] limpbisquit:
Seems like after the latest update the quality is slightly better? But the 3x zoom still looks weird, like it's a different processing with the colors.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Real Life Review] q8_devil:
For extra sharpness in zoom, shoot in hdr.

Its still over processed but it will be sharp instead of soft.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Real Life Review] Limeybastard:
Not bad.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Real Life Review] limpbisquit:
Speaking of HDR why is the option not a toggle like other cams? And also it's fun to play with night mode even when it's not dark.

[Huawei Mate 20 X Real Life Review] androFRUST:
Exteremly perplexed. Out of the box this things battery was amazing on day 1.. 5 hours sot from 60pc to 20+. On day 4, just watching YouTube and scrolling on Instagram for 40 minutes the battery dropped 10pc! Disappointing for a 7nm chip and 5000mah. Ive been monitoring battery consumption and apps, which I haven't installed much. Projected to have 55 hours left on battery, 70 hours on saving and 230 hours on ultra. Do you guys think it's still calibrating?
[Huawei Mate 20 X Real Life Review] filip_pine:
Yeah, i think it's still calibrating... Remember to never charge your phone to 100% and never plug the charger when it like 1%... Always charge from 20% to 80% ... This will you will have a great battery life...

Power saving mode off.

Auto brightness on except while on total darkness.

Double SIM cards from different providers active the whole time.

Walking and driving half of the day.

No WiFi at all except when I had to transfer a few GB of data to another phone via WiFi direct.

YouTube vanced active most of the time when screen was on plus a few hours while screen was off too. You can see I downloaded 1.4GB of data yesterday and that was mostly 240p video and last two hours 144p video.

I forgot to say I had Bluetooth on for more than 10 hours, and that's exactly how long time I was playing videos on YouTube vanced. Because I listen through the wireless earbuds.

Did you find the reason for this?

This has been happening to mine since I purchased the phone a week ago, phone is dropping 30-40% in a night. Initially the problem seemed to Maps, so I removed all the permissions for it and its now at the bottom of the battery used list - But still my battery is draining!

My next step is factory reset, try and remove all non-essential apps via ADB, if that fails, it's going back. I'm pretty p*ssed off with this, my Honor View20 (Which this replaced) had a battery that would 2 days.. this thing lasts less than 10 hours (And thats with me hardly using it).
