100% same as u.

In. My world a Big phone with 19:9 is minimum 7 inch. But I prefer 16:6 6,8 inch

I don't care of brand at all.

My priority is:

1. Big display

2. Big battery

The rest is not that important for me nowadays, most phones in 2019- have okay specs.

But if I can get my 2 top priorities in a phone/phones, i buy this with best specs.

Last year I had Samsung Note 9, all to tiny for me.

Then MI Max 3, then Honor 8x max, then Honor note 10 and since December 2018 my dear beloved Mate 20X.

Every time I bought a phone a new was released short after... First time ever I remember that many Big phones the same year [emoji3]

And now in 2019 Nothing, not even 1 Big phone is released... Hmmmmmmm.

Dad is mad.

Realme X2 pro? Much cheaper? but build, battery, camera still behind the mate 20x that is almost year old.

I hate the walled garden, but I still can't see any other contender ... so far the oneplus 7T the best for me...

C'mon Huawei... give us a christmas miracle and allow the bootloader opening for rebranding purposes ... or at least allow google full, and launcher stuff.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] Limeybastard:
I agree. OnePlus 7T and their superb oxygen OS. I had a regular OnePlus 7 once.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] def-g:
Asus ROG 2 looks so GOOD!!! But the mediocre Camera and Smaller screen is a deal breaker. Mate 20 X is still the best Phablet period.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] scienceguylabs:
I've been using the Pixel 4 XL for the last week, but find myself wanting to go back to my M20X. Obviously, the main pull back to it is the screen size, but I'm missing the overall feel and function of it as well. And the battery life. Can't forget about that. The P4XL is a snappy, well made phone though, with lots of pros.

Announced	Not announced yet

Status	Rumored
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] bigfire:
I'm actually use the 4 XL as well, and I'm surprised at how much I like it. The performance seems more responsive, the UI is definitely more polished, I'm having no bluetooth problems, the screen is great, I love wireless charging, and I like having the carrier specific features (now ATT) that I was missing with the Mate 20x. While I love the Mate 20x's battery, 99% of the time I don't need it. What I really miss, of course, is that big screen. Every time I pick up the Mate 20X it feels like I've just left my cramped studio apartment for a luxury penthouse. :( I'm waiting to see how Android 10 feels on the Mate 20x. It's not like it's so outdated I have to leave it. It's still an extremely competitive, beautifully built phone.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] scienceguylabs:
That's exactly how I'm feeling about the P4XL. I decided to keep it. It's incredibly fast and smooth. The M20X's screen size is the only thing I'm missing. I wish Google would make a XXL Pixel. Ha ha

What color did you get, by the way?
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] Limeybastard:
There's a reason why many devices don't come in 7" plus screen sizes, they don't sell well. Just take a look at this forum for example compared to mate 20 pro. Crickets.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] baskinrobbin:
I went with the Iphone 11 pro max, I miss the screen size of the mate 20 x but the battery life and videos are much better on the 11 pro.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] shaolin95:
I wish! I came from an Xperia Z3 Tablet comptact as my phone so the mate 20x still feels like a midget to me so anything smaller is surely not aceptable to me :/ Of course, I could go a bit smaller if it was 16:10 ratio (cause I hate these trend of kitkat looking phones!). :D
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] lowrider007:
Battery life is much better on the 11 Pro?, I find that hard to believe, How many days do you get out of the 11 Pro?
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] s327374:
Also find it hard to believe that would be the case for everyone, but stuff does move fast.

Can you do the following on an Iphone?

I forgot to charge, my phone Friday morning .... Yeah I know you can do that no matter what the platform or device. Anyway, so I woke up with 22%. Dmn, and I knew that I wasn't going to have my normal routine and be able to charge that day. Had the first little anxiety battery moment in months.... Anyway, the anxiety did not last. Plugged it in while I made toast and ate my breaky. Of no interest to you peeps, someone at work and I were discussing the previous day using salt in our coffee and so I tried that. Had two salted coffees (didn't mind it) and 4 slices of vegemite on toast and a soda water (proabbly a little too much sodium, right?). Sooooooo.... In that small amount of time, while I was using the phone, I managed to get the phone up to 56 percent.

Boom! more than enough to get me through the day, taking photos, social media, work emails etc. ok - it did quit at about 9.30pm after my son was on it for an hour with a math app.... but that's a pretty good feeling knowing that 20 minutes of charge will be enough for a heavy day. It's great that I just simply don't feel much (almost zero) battery anxiety these days.

I mean, I've left my torch on a couple of times in my pocket and had people point it out with concern... I get it, I used to be like that. I don't give it a **** anymore. I could keep the torch on all day, and it would probably make a full day of use.

So ... also surprised that iphone could do something similar.

In other news, https://www.androidcentral.com/oneplus-phone-batteries-are-being-decimated-whatsapp

Hmmm - I have suffered many years living in China with what I am certain are the Western apps and VPNs I use crushing my battery life, so it does not surprise me to see that.

Also, was just thinking, maybe it is time I moved to iphone if their battery is as good as claimed. nah... I couldn't do it. Would be so frustrating to spend that coin for something that was unenjoyable to use.

Anyone else mildly interested in the massive battery on this sucker? https://item.mi.com/product/10000198.html?selected=10000198&pClass=p

Wonder if I could go back to a smaller size? doubtful. When I use swype keyboard on the smaller keyboard setting, I make a zillion mistakes more than normal... and I am a lazy text editor at the best of times.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] WhySoSeriousJoKer:
Yeah saw that one also, i hope with flat screen and not waterfall/curved screen like Vivo Nex 3.

Also Samsung S11 is rumored to come in 6.9 inch, but yeah probably with curved screen.

[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] BigDisplay:
Okay, did not hear that rumor, sounds good.

But if edge or something like this its always a no go for me, i tried 2 Sammy phones with edge display, but sold them short after, it takes to much space in my opinion.

Edge looks cool and thats it.

And i never ever bought a phone because of the design, never and i never will.

I always have a smart window open/close flip case on my phones.

But im afraid 6,9 inch is to tiny for me, even my M20X is a little small. I miss my good old Asus Zenfone 3 Ultra 6,8 inch 16:6 sooo much... Was the best size i ever had on a phone

NO

x30 pro is like the nex 3 (same company and brand bbk vivo) diagonal-wise but actually narrower (so smaller in screen area versus the nex 3 based on the rumored resolution...so nex 3 is bigger than x30 pro but smaller than mi max 3 which is smaller than the mate 20x; screen area-wise, the zenfone 3 ultra is the closest to mate 20x; the tablet type mediapad x2 and samsung tab a sm-t285 were the biggest but in the 1920x1200 format both were 7-inchers with 142.1 square cm of screen area)

zenfone3 ultra 6.8 inches, 127.5 cm2 (~72.8% screen-to-body ratio)

mate 20 x 7.2 inches, 130.7 cm2 (~87.6% screen-to-body ratio)

mi max3 6.9 inches, 122.9 cm2 (~79.8% screen-to-body ratio)

nex3 6.89 inches, 119.3 cm2 (~93.6% screen-to-body ratio)

The moment Samsung brings a note series out with a flat 7 plus inch screen is the moment I jump ship. All those other Chinese makers except for Huawei can go pound sand.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] WhySoSeriousJoKer:
I miss the Honor Note series, mostly the Note 8, it had a great QHD screen. Yeah it was 6,6 inch, but that was big in that time. :)
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] scienceguylabs:
Yep. I loved my Honor Note 8.

I also really miss the size of my Mediapad X2. If they were to bring an international version of that phone with slimmer bezels, better specs, and a fingerprint reader, I'd drop everything and buy it.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] mac231us:
the most compact hand-friendly device (and that was big screen) I ever used was the Sharp Sh-05g (a 2015 forerunner in its time (carrying on from SH-06F from 2014) of this trend to all screen formats-it had minimized bezels in a compact form 7 inch diagonal but in the 1920x1200 format (super light at 216g) Too bad it was stuck on Android 5.1 with no hope whatsoever to root or develop. It got the important LTE band 17 in the US but missed the crucial band 2 on umts (or at least LTE band 2 would have been good). I recall there were areas where it would drop off the network altogether because of not having UMTS band 2. Excellent form otherwise.

---------- Post added at 05:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:17 PM ----------

chances are it will be in an ever skinnier format maybe like the Xperia 1....super narrow with an actual smaller screen area-wise just a big diagonal.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] Limeybastard:
Yep, I agree. Also probably curved friggin edges again. When are these people going to end this far? Especially on a note series that has a pen, curved edges don't mix well with pen input.

The Mate 20x is actually bigger than the zenfone 3 ultra no matter which way you look at it (understand you may like it more) width-wise area-wise and the diagonal mate 20x is bigger-CORRECTION ZENFONE 3 ULTRA SCREEN IS INDEED WIDER THAN THE 20X (85mm versus 79mm)

The zenfone 3 ultra has a bigger body but the screen IS smaller (CORRECTION-NOT QUITE..SEE ABOVE)

It's even better for me to hold on.

I still have it, u see the picture with this and the Mate 20 x. View attachment 4872063
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] mac231us:
I was wrong-the z3ultra INDEED has a wider screen (1920 x 1080 on the 6.8 is wider than 2244 x 1080 on a 7.2; 85 versus 79 mm)

In order to have the same screen width as the zenfone3 ultra, a device with the 20x resolution would need to have a 7.7 inch screen (not going to happen)

yes the zenfone3 ultra body is bigger so it is easier to hold (with all trend to narrow bezels the wider bezels make it easier to manage these devices-same with tablets which have retained the bigger bezels...mostly)

EDIT even the z ultra from 2013 (Sony) has a screen width of 80mm (1 more than the 20x) for a 6.43 screen (body is bigger than the 20x and almost the size of the asus zenfone3 ultra)

too bad zenfone 3 ultra did not have many bands (for me it was missing the important band 2 lte) - don't think it ever got updated beyond Android 7.1 did it?
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] BigDisplay:
It got Android 7 yes and for a half a year or something they promised Android 8 to, But it never came.

I used this phone for around 27 month, never happened to me before.

I dropped it on my father's funeral and the glas crashed in the upper corner, if this not has happened, I think I still have use it today.

Even today I think I could live with the specs on it, it was pretty fast, good sound and okay pictures.

[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] s327374:
I expect many of us will find a solution within the Chinese pack of new phonemakers. Vivo, REalme, oneplus, etc. as this company seems to be able to manufacture many new and interesting variants more rapidly than Samsung. Huawei and Xiaomi might be left behind, and Google seems to be a joke at this point.

At any rate, my personal timeline for a new phone will likely be a year from now. Think it will be the double upgrade from my Macbook pro (late 2016) and Mate 20x. Nothing screaming out to replace what I think has been a great phone, despite my hatred of the walled garden concept. Ideally, it will either be a switch to windows with something like the Dell, Lenova, HP, or other highenders (although, it is possible that I will miss OSX too much). If I switch to windows, I might also take on a mate40x if it exists.

Considering the walled garden though, and the possibility of an improved keyboard on the mac (I will keep this one for the 4th year of extended keyboard warrantee), maybe it is time that I move to the I-phone 12 next year... I would use an iphone if I could modify some aspects. Huawei seems to be driving me towards it. Weird, huh?

[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] Limeybastard:
Nicely done. Did you remove any google apps or services or Huawei apps and services?( Not withstanding the ones you installed) Im tempted to remover Huawei Optimizer, but unsure of it's it implications.

From the top of my head, the stuff I removed via adb were, google quick search box, Chrome, Carrier services, Facebook services, sim tool kit, essential apps, Feature advisor, Huawei calender, Partner browser customization, digit balance ( removed usage permission) , Duo, Hisearch.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] jbmc83:
oh yes i removed several of both, actually.

u can remove huawei optimizer but i actually think its nice for regular maintenance. i use it alongside CCleaner and SDMaid on a weekly basis :)

i didnt have so many google services installed due to it being a chinese model, so didnt have chrome, fb, google quick search box etc. but rather the huawei equivalents of those (browser, messaging, huawei search, assisstant, etc)

next step is to monitor battery life / SOT. im currently sitting at roughly 20+ hours SOT, not bad :) but still too early to do a proper conclusion, need to collect more data points.

I need a phone with a stylus so it will most likely be the Exynos Note 9, as root is possible. After using only rooted phones for the past 5 years, I thought I'd give the 20X a try (even though I knew root wasn't possible when I purchased) because of the top-end specs and large display with stylus support. But Huawei's walled garden doesn't suit me; far too limiting. It's really a shame that such outstanding hardware is so thoroughly crippled on the software side.
