I'm watching the release news about the Honor x20 max with interest...7.2" screen rumoured plus should come with full Google compatibility.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] BigDisplay:
Me 2, even it's not a flagship
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] Deanro:
According to a report, it will likely be released this friday
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] BigDisplay:
Sounds good

Looking forward for this one... For sure, even i have my beloved Mate 20X and the MI 11 Ultra

They only want to sell you +1000€ foldable phones every year or every time your phone falls :)

I'm keeping my Mi Mix Ultimate after 2 replacement of screens (for less than 50€ each time) until some vendor releases a proper phone wider than 80mm. Rootable if possible.

I would have bought mate 20X if I could unlock its bootloader... Even if replacing the screen would cost me 5x more every time my phone falls :)
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] nickb99NZ:
One thing I won't miss is the rear mounted fingerprint sensor. I've found that the under-screen ones on other devices are really hit and miss. Whereas the side mounted one on the power button of my Poco F3 is just terrific. Super quick and accurate. I would definitely look for that feature on my next large screen phone. Looks like the Honor x30 Max has one....
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] Deanro:
Problem with the x30 max is the when question.. when will they finally release it? They gae us the runaround with the x20 max and now more questions about this mysterious phone. Hope I'm wrong but it looks like a piece of ****.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] BigDisplay:
Agree...
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] Deanro:
The link below spells an ETA for the x30 max. Unfortunately according to an insider it will possess a 20:9 aspect ratio, as long suspected. Honor is a weird company.

Ironically, samsung's next s22 ultra that will debut next year is expected to feature a bit of a wider aspect ratio of 19.5:9 from the conventional 19:9 which might offer some respite. But it won't still be 19:9 or less unfortunately. I seriously dont understand the stupid logic behind these phone companies.

@BigDisplay

Have you found any issues using such an old phone? Bluetooth 5 etc? Any issues day to day?

I have friends that have one phone for years that work fine...I'm just in the habit of at least two a year. I really enjoyed using my 20x s so the idea of buying a brand new one today is intriguing .
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] BigDisplay:
Hey

Not at all, it's not long time I got a security update to... Normally I never have a phone more then 12-20 month, but this phone is for me unique and still kick a s h.

Besides my Mate 20X I have mi 11 ultra to, but I use the the Mate more vs the MI 11 Ultra.

Soon we will get emui 12 to, so the phone is still not buried.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] nickb99NZ:
Thanks!

I'm enjoying using my Poco F3, great phone for the money. But still definitely miss that big screen and the big keyboard for fast typing.

I found some suppliers of brand new mate 20x in the UK. Not cheap but in line with the AliExpress price after import taxes. I would definitely like the silver purple 8gb version with the global ROM, but that is AliExpress only.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] nickb99NZ:

[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] Deanro:
Wow.. about $675. Still too much.

I'm thinking about selling my 20x and getting the note 20 ultra.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] nickb99NZ:
Samsung make lovely devices, that's for sure. I had a Galaxy Note 10+ but sold it due to weak battery life. From what I read the Note 20 ultra is equal or worse than the 10+ in that regard. Doesn't matter if you are mostly close to a plug socket of course. And maybe I had a poor example.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] Deanro:
Not true. The note 20 ultra has better battery than the note 10+ when you disable the 120 mhz refresh rate.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] nickb99NZ:
Just fired up my brand new Mate 20x and am very happy. It took a few hours to do all the updates from 9 to 11...but so lovely to have the big screen again. And the sound quality is definitely better than the Poco F3. Am now going to order a fancy leather blue shell case from France to complete the perfect package.

Still no reason to stop using Mate 20 X, which simply works and does all what's needed.

I don't see any reason WHY would I go for something else.

Just because it's almost 4 years old model? So what?! I'm not a damn kid. that doesn't "make me feel so horribly out comparing to my classmates", or something...

Waiting with my 20X for Huawei Mate 50X 😁
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] plepoutre:
My 20 x still runs strong. I won't change for now. Like you all I still look at news for big screens and vivo x note seems to be the closest. Before there was a big gaming phone Xiaomi blackshark pro and x30 from honor

I don't care that much for headphone jack now, as I have good and cheap Bluetooth in ear phones, and I did upgrade my flash from 128 to 128+256 with a Huawei card, great option!

My criteria :

- big screen

- video out on usb (+desktop if possible)

- great speakers (front facing would be better)

- huge battery life

- great photo and video

- not warming (as it could happen in case of software bug... Even in your pocket... My galaxy note 4 died like that)

- flat screen

- no underscreen fingerprint or they must improve a lot (like on vivo x note)

I have a Huawei pen with my mate 20 x but I don't use it much. So its battery is always flat when I need it, lol. I don't care much for a pen.

What are your criteria?
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] Flavio:
I have decided to go back to another Mate 20 X now that I am bored with my Z Fold3. The Vivo X Note looks promising but a China only phone is not an option for me and also the price is way too high.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] nickb99NZ:
How was the battery life on the Z Fold3? That's what put me off trying one. I love how the Mate 20x will run for days if needed by managing battery life carefully.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] Flavio:
My Z Fold3 needs charging during the day, but in all fairness the wireless charging makes this easy. I also have my hotspot permanently turned on which I think uses a fair bit of power. I always slow charge it during the night.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] nickb99NZ:
I just tried a Galaxy Note 20 Ultra 5g with 6.9" screen.

It was 'lightly used' but lasted all of two days before it failed with a black screen of death error. Seems this is very common with this model. Ridiculous for the price!

Huawei 50X looks tempting but Huawei = no Google installed so no good for me :/

thats it for me folks, im also leaving the 20X behind, just ordered myself a Pixel 7 Pro. i KNOW im gonna miss the bigass screen, but tbh im just sick n tired of the super locked down system with literally no options to customize anything... was a good ride! c ya
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] nickb99NZ:
Enjoy the Pixel! Never tried one myself. I recently swapped to my first 20x 5g from the 20x and after some messing with battery optimization am really liking it. Could have stayed with the 4g model with less hassle 😆
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] Moandal:
4 years on and still love my Mate 20X 4G. It really doesn't feel like a 4 year old phone. Who needs a folding phone with all the compromises when you've got a 7.2" display in your pocket ready to use in an instant? And the camera system still comes close to a new flagship.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] nickb99NZ:
Yup, definitely agree. I just swapped to the 5g version for a change rather than anything else. Like your experience it feels to me like a very modern phone. I've rejected various Notes and suchlike in the last years and always returned to the 20x.

The 5g version has much worse battery life and the speaker setup is not as good. So in practical terms the 20x would have been perfectly fine for more years. It's just cool to see the 5g symbol appear on it 😁
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] lowrider007:
I'm still loving my Mate 20X 4G, best phone I've ever owned, I just don't know what phone I'd jump to next if I had to, real shame there isn't any decent phablets out there that compares to the 20x, I dread the day I have to give it up.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] Moandal:
There are some good offers on the S23 Ultra if you pre-order, but I'm not sure I want to downgrade to a significantly smaller screen, and would I really gain much elsewhere?
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] nickb99NZ:
The screen reduction is always the greatest let down for me. I have tried a few different 6.9" phones and always return to the 20x. Running the 5G version now and really like it. Battery life is acceptable if I keep my second SIM turned off.

I'm sure the S23 has great cameras etc. But when I saw the 'Ultra' screen size I just discarded it as a reasonable idea.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] SMGJohn:
It is great shame Huawei did not release Mate 50 X, it would been a great seller and alternative to foldable phones.

People seem to misunderstand screen size in inches, its the diagonal thats counted.View attachment 5941675

You must consider total screen area instead!

Huawei Mate 20 X has screen real estate of 130.7 cm2

Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra has 116.7 cm2 screen real estate but 6.9" display

vivo X Note is 7.0 inches display, has 121.3 cm2

Honor X30 Max which is 7.09" gives us the closest of any phone 125.5 cm2 screen real estate.

Lenovo Legion Y90 6.92" yet gives less screen real estate than Galaxy Note 20 does at 113.7 cm2

by comparison, smallest foldable phone Oppo Find N2 has 7.1" display but gives us massive 162.2 cm2 screen space.

Personally I think the reason Mate 50 X is not released is simply Huawei wants to protect their foldable business, Oppo Find N2 costs 900 - 1100 euros, this is similar price to Mate 20 X when it was brand new in 2018.

But of course, Oppo does not have headphone jack, desktop mode and weaker speakers too.

Foldables are also prone to damage on screen since its plastic and not glass.

With foldables more common today, I am not sure we will see phablets of 7.0"+ size anymore and to me thats a bit of a shame because I love this phone, its amazing and I bought a second one just to have spareparts. Like with computers they hit a bottleneck in how good design they have in 2012~, smartphones hit that peak in 2018, by then they had 3 - 4 rear cameras, FHD screens, 90Hz and 120Hz, large batteries, Android 9 is not really that much different from Android 13 and fact is Huawei still supporting Mate 20 X with software updates is big bonus.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] nickb99NZ:
Good post.

I gave up waiting for a global 7" high spec phone with Google services and switched to an s22 ultra. Certainly not as much fun, but very competent.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] Moandal:
Well after nearly 5 years (the longest I've ever had a phone by far) it's time to move on to an S23 Ultra after I noticed a small blotch on the main camera. I presume it's either something under the lens or on the sensor as no amount of cleaning the lens makes a difference. The S23 Ultra is good and big enough, but I do wish it had a 7.2 inch (or bigger!) screen!
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] nickb99NZ:
I really enjoy my S22 Ultra. Would be interested to hear how you get on with the switch to the S23.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] s327374:
Well - I guess I am in the minority - that sucks.

I guess EMUI is not too bad, but...with the AL00 Chinese version, the walled variety becomes unbearable after a while. Not being able to use a launcher or not being able to unlock bootloader is a problem in that it stunts my inherent need to explore and adapt the phone to suit me.

I guess that need is why I joined this site.

I concede that EMUI isn't all bad. I concede that the EVR-L29 must be more fun (although I really am glad I have the 256gb memory model). I concede that it is a great phone in terms of its hardware.

It pains me though that because it is ok for you for now (and it won't be moving forward to any new Huawei models that will suffer the same way I am now), you think the situation is fine and dandy.

It isn't.

Being able to long press app icon and go straight to app manager for that app . But I don't miss the yellow pinkish OLED screens nor the limited color calibration of colors that is offered currently. And of course I don't miss the offensive curved edges.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] _sC:
they lost me as a customer when they didn't produce the Mate 30 X.

the 7.2" screen, and the dual side firing speakers are basically the only reason why I still use this phone.

camera was alright for the time, but nothing was really touching the pixel processing anyways.

i was looking at the ASUS ROG Phone 2, but it seems like there a couple issues with it at the moment.

shame, when you're looking to spend your money but can't find something "good enough".
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] Limeybastard:
The Mate 20X most probably didn't sell well hence why they just updated the same physical device with 5G and didn't bother with a new gen Mate 30X. I guess what some would call the Mate 20X a "cult" device.

[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] dogatemycomputer:
I'll be honest.. I thought my Mate 20 X included the ability to root but obviously the instructions posted online were old and outdated. On one hand I'm totally pissed that I cannot change my launcher or use OK GOOGLE or use the recorder feature because Huawei decided I should not be allowed to modify or control my own device.

From what I gather Huawei locked the boot loader because third party suppliers were intercepting the phones, unboxing them, installing malware then delivering infected phones to customers. When people complained they would blame Huawei for sending personal data to the PRC or selling poor quality phones.

So now I'm kinda stuck in the middle. If my mom bought a Mate would I feel better knowing her phone was safe? or would I prefer to know she has more control over her device?

I'm hoping Huawei will find a better solution.
