My preorder from pbtech arrived about an hour ago

To much work to do though so haven't pulled any of the new toys out

Also need to go and find a nanosim from somewhere.

That was painful to watch but I wonder just how rough are people with their phone as to necessitate such robust protection in the first place.

So - brief thoughts after a few days use. Bear in mind that this was a direct jump from an LG G2 (never upgraded beyond 5.0) so a fairly dramatic generational shift. That said - the G2 held up pretty well in most respects bar being dog slow the last few months.

• Battery life seems pretty excellent - currently 30 hours since unplugged, moderate use, and sitting above 70%
• Screen looks great - and particularly with the offscreen navigation enabled, is a lot of usable area.
• Camera is impressive - obviously not up to the quality of a decent mirrorless/SLR in terms of fine details (we have OM-D with a good lense), but stunning for a phone and certainly miles better than point and shoots I used in the last decade.
• Audio seems fine - particularly through the bonus Sennheisers which are awesome.
• The face unlock works really quickly as does the fingerprint scanner. Having the combination of both seems to be the best way forward to me.

P20 or P20 Pro?

P20 or P20 Pro?

 

Pro - the $200 price difference made it a no brainer for the additional specs, and in any case I was mostly drawn (vs other options) to the camera.

Should add - while only used a couple of times:

• the detail in 'pure' b+w photos is impressive
• I was initially slightly 'meh' on the zoom - until I took a step back figuratively and put it in the context of 'this is a phone, not a camera' - in that sense the zoom is also impressive

Agree. For only $200 difference, you get much better camera system, bigger OLED screen, more RAM, bigger battery, water resistance. 

Unless you really want a slightly smaller phone, it's really a no brainer.

Anyone using Android File Transfer on macOS - is Huawei P20 Pro compatible or is the MTP implementation broken like it is with Samsung's build of Android?
