Huawei P20 128 GB 5.8-Inch FHD+ FullView Android 8.1 SIM-Free Smartphone, Single SIM, Black - UK Version

An excellent mobile phone with lots of tools, very smooth and easy to use. Under estemated with its abilities for a great prize and size of screen. Better than most mobile phones within this price range. Don't underrated the power knowledge and the technology of Huawei development in their mobiles.

Now that this phone model is a few months old, and the price has come down, I decided to buy it to replace my old HTC phone. After a few weeks use, I have to say I am very pleased. There is much that I really like, and although there are a couple of niggles, these are minor.Let’s start with what I really like…The battery life is very good. I’m probably a light/medium user – checking emails a few times a day, some web browsing, some social media use, a few photos per day, a few minutes listening to music in the gym, and a couple of phone calls per day. From a full charge first thing in the morning, I’m still having 70% charge remaining in the evening. And that’s with Bluetooth and GPS on all the time.The camera is good. I sometimes turn off the AI settings and automated portrait mode, since these can over process the photos for my liking and sometimes get the focusing wrong. But generally, the photos have well balanced exposure, good detail and accurate colour rendition. Likewise, the video – though I’ve yet to explore all the options, such as slow motion.The phone is fast - opening apps quickly, enabling quick scrolling, and downloading and uploading very quickly.Very good screen and sound. The phone also gives good sound with my Bluetooth earphones.Finger print reader and face recognition both work quickly and efficiently.Quick charging: I can quickly charge the phone in the morning before going to work. Note that the Super Charge charging needs the supplied charger and compatible cable; though, charging using normal chargers and cables is also reasonably fast.Large storage: although this phone doesn’t accommodate an SD card, it does have quite a bit of internal storage. The firmware takes up about 8GB, leaving about 120GB for apps, music, photos etc.And the not so good…This is a thin, slippery phone. A clear case is provided, and the screen has a thin screen protector beneath the even thinner screen protector that is placed on for shipping. However, I didn’t feel that either of these were sufficient, so I have replaced them with a new case (Spigen - Rugged Armor) and glass screen protector (OMOTON - Compatible Screen Protector for Huawei P20). These seem much better, and the case makes the phone much easier to grip and hold.Huawei’s software interface (the “EMUI”) is pretty easy to navigate, but it’s a bit clunky in places, and it seems to run a few functions I’m not interested in, such as pedometer data. I spent a lot of time trying to turn off notifications from apps and features, only to find that they returned. I think this was because I also needed to reset them via other menus, though this all left me feeling a bit muddled. Fortunately, there are some good websites offering Tips and Tricks for using the phone.Overall, the niggles are minor, and I am really pleased with this phone.

My main focus on this phone was, how fast it's, the battery life, quality of the camera and how strong its network is. By far its much better than any android phone I had before. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because; the home button - which is additional since the fingerprint button does the same job - and the keyboard are very close so whenever I am writing I have to the home screen by accidentally pressing that button.

I've had various Android phones (from high-end HTC to lower-end WileyFox) and the Huawei P20 is brilliant value for money. I didn't have the budget to afford the newer version, and I was slightly worried that the older model wouldn't feel like a higher-end phone, but the style and performance certainly out-muscles the cost; great value for money!

Lost my last phone to a thunder storm and after a few months I have to say this is a great phone all around, very little complaints to be said, battery is my favourite can charged from dead to full in about 15-20 minutes with the charger and cable provided👍

The cameras on this phone are excellent, it was one of the main reasons I bought it.Also the battery life is great, much better than my old iPhone.

Great phone but didn't last long. Only had for a year and the battery expanded

A very good phone and excellent cost with easy use
