    This phone reviewed well back then, it's like 2 years old now?

    • ce5himm on 24/08/2020 - 22:04

      Yes, mate 40 is around the corner, therefore this is a 2 yrs old but still a good deal. Should be able to upgrade to Android 11

      • akb3307 on 24/08/2020 - 22:17

        Huawei phones don't get anymore android updates from what I know. Otherwise, Huawei phones are amazing

        • ce5himm on 24/08/2020 - 22:54

          not 100% sure yet. anyway android 11 would be the most, and p30 pro/mate 20 pro are the last models to get it if it will happen.
          honestly that does not make a lot difference. mate 20 pro/ p30 pro are android 9 out of box, even without the ban, android 11 is the max. if people do get android 11, then they do not miss anything.
          on the other hand, is there a big difference between the current android 10 and 11? not much for 95% of users. by saying that, even huawei can not push android 11 to these phones, it is not that big deal at all. people still play games, listen music, watch videos, all other apps work like a charm.

          Can voucher this phone gets the most recent Android 10 security patch, level 1 June 20.

            @aucheese: yes got updated to EMUI 10.1 last week and will receive Android 11 by the end of this year.

          I have this phone and received the latest update to EMUI 10.1 a week ago

      Still loving mine!

    • thebargainhunter on 25/08/2020 - 08:22

      The screen got cracked on my Mate 20 Pro, so I "upgraded" to the S20+ about a month ago. My takeaways:

      • No discernible difference in speed (I don't play games)
      • I honestly find the camera to be far superior on the Mate 20 Pro in most scenarios, especially portraits and focussing in general
      • Cleaner UI for me and not as much bloatware
      • There's nothing the Chinese now know about me that 5 Eyes and Google don't already 😄
      • I will concede that there are things I love about the Samsung, like Dex, QR scanning from camera (helpful during covid!), great gestures etc.
      • barginfan on 25/08/2020 - 10:08
        +2

        My 20pro can project to my hisense wirelessly and I can use desktop mode, Dex still needs an adapter, so Dex may not be better.

  • newsanzang on 24/08/2020 - 22:13

    Would pull the trigger if it got dual SIMs.

  • jimbler on 24/08/2020 - 23:20

    It's been this price for a while. They should discount it further to get rid of the last few.

    • Jared17 on 25/08/2020 - 20:36

      Yeah i got mine after reading that deal. They would not discount it for me though.

    same price as a pixel 4a.

    • KLoNe on 25/08/2020 - 05:59

        It is a budget phone, but it is still an amazing phone which can put up some real competition against flapships

        It's a proper value for money phone

    Most likely not Android Auto compatible. So no thanks.

      Android auto works fine. Not sure where you got this info from.

      • shoelover on 25/08/2020 - 20:59

        Mate 10 Pro doesn't work with Android Auto. Maybe it works now?

    Went from an S8 to this and boy is it amazing, battery, screen, performance and Android 10 it updated to really loving it so far and super easy to transfer data wirelessly from my old one came with a case and just ordered some glass screen protectors off eBay.

    The Android 10 update almost has that Samsung icon skin theme which is really enjoy too

      I've got the Mate 20 and it's still amazing. Still runs a likes flagship that was released today. 10/10 phone.

    Yet another Huawei phone on sale…

  • tramperleo on 25/08/2020 - 07:32

    Was $497.00, then $549.00, then $599.00 from domayne last week

    • VestMogen on 25/08/2020 - 11:59

      497 is reasonable

    • morgs640 on 25/08/2020 - 14:25

      This was $547 last week on Domayne so there may be room for negotiation in store.

    I own the mate 20X.
    Best phone i have ever owned. Its just this phone but with a 7.2 inch screen. The biggest phone screen you can buy.

    • stinkydog on 25/08/2020 - 11:18

      Same! Amazing phone. The curves on the pro put me off, so glad it led me to finding the X.

      • [Deactivated] on 25/08/2020 - 18:03

        Where can i buy the Mate 20X?

        • stinkydog on 25/08/2020 - 21:03

          Probably Giztop, I believe production of the 4g version has ended and the 5g is quite pricey. Giztop have the Chinese version of the 4g.

          • [Deactivated] on 25/08/2020 - 21:08

            @stinkydog: dont wanna pay 1.8k as on amazon thanks

            Where and how much did you get yours?

            Is giztop reputable, thanks?

            • stinkydog on 26/08/2020 - 00:49

              @[Deactivated]: Woah that is crazy money! Could get a black shark 3 pro for that much!
              Got mine from Giztop, they said they installed the global Rom but all they did was install google play which one can install themselves.
              All google stuff works except for the voice assistant/ok google. There have been changes in the latest.
              I believe I paid about 720aud including delivery, a case and mpen. Signing up to the newsletter gave me a code for a measly discount of 3% or less.

              • [Deactivated] on 26/08/2020 - 08:35

                @stinkydog: so it was an open box?? How do you know it wasnt second hand?

                  @[Deactivated]: Well that's a good point! Was my fault for asking them to install this none existent global rom.
                  Also, the blue color landed up being purple, perhaps why it was cheaper in the first place.
                  I read that many companies are refurbishing and doing an amazing job of shrink wrapping etc., I have no idea how to tell if they had done a refurb.

    Agree with the others about how great this phone is. I got it a year ago on a JB HiFi deal and was looking at what else is out there now that i'm off contract but i can't see any reason to 'upgrade'. It' is still comparable to other high end phones, battery still goes well over a day. If the xiaomi mi 10 ultra was available i'd consider that.

  • H4ydos on 25/08/2020 - 12:38

    Had mine for a year now. Still getting updates, Had one last week. Not sure if i'd pay $600 for it now. Would jump at it for $500 or less.

    I've had this phone for almost 2 years, great phone for $1,200, absolute bargain for $600. Awesome camera, awesome battery, no issues with Android/Google. Always thinking about upgrading, but its still working like when i first got it.

  • Ezuku on 25/08/2020 - 14:11

    Still using mine that i bought at release. It's pretty great, buttery smooth, and gestures have spoilt me. Back camera is really amazing, front camera is mediocre and disappointing as it's fixed focus. For what it's worth, i am going to be sending it in for repairs soon due to screen burn issues.

  • Kegsta on 25/08/2020 - 15:00

    Still using mine except I left it on the roof and drove off, smashing the screen, still works fine except for the face sensor, the only downer for this phone is there is no included screen protector and due to the curved screen it's hard to find a good one.

    If your not like me and be careful it's still an amazing phone, the biggest thing it has over the competition is a more expensive lithium polymer battery which will last much longer than a normal LIPO and the camera is amazing.

    I have the optus version which includes the google newsfeed thing, I got the global version for my mum which doesn't but is dual sim.

    • Jared17 on 25/08/2020 - 21:33

      Did you have any issue with green tinge on screen?

    If your going to buy a new phone and you depend on it alot it is a wise idea to buy only phones that have battery case offerings.

  • AN Other on 25/08/2020 - 16:08

    Had this for 18 months. I can confirm that this is fantastic phone. Unless you're completely hung up on getting a 5G phone it's as good as anything currently out there. For $599 it's a steal.

  • ddhar on 25/08/2020 - 17:26

    This, Galaxy S10 or Pixel 4a?

    I've had mine for 20 months and still love it. When I first got it I was easily getting 2 days of battery life. Now… I'm ONLY getting one day 😅.

    Such a shame the newer Huaweis don't have Google.
