Super slow mo on the P20 is average at best. I went to Sony Centre Midvalley to test out the super slow-mo on their fidget spinner test.
I was overconfident that it will beat the 1080p super slow-mo of Xperia XZ2. But when we compared the quality side-by-side, I went out really embarrassed.
The 720p 960fps quality of the P20 is absolutely horrible. In artificial light/indoor light, you can see "flutter/banding" in the video. It's really unacceptable whereas in the XZ2, it doesn't have banding and the video quality is just really good.
I feel the 960fps on the P20 is just really 240fps converted to 960fps. The wordings on the fidget is unreadable. I don't know what to say but good job to Sony on perfecting the super slow-mo feature (the old Xperia XZ already has the 960fps but on 720p). So yeah..
exactly.. feel the same with you. .the super slow mo in p20 series seem like overclaimed.. definitely in level if compare with XZ2/samsung s9 series..
P20 series are really good in still image and software processing like aperture mode, portrait mode and night mode.. video shooting also 1 of weakness.. no more for Huawei flagship in future.. quite regret didnt topup another few hundreds for XZ2.
the software/issue for my p20:
1. chromecast usage - when i cast video to TV through chromecast, all my other phone able to control volume/video duration even after a duration. however, huawei software seem over control/freeze the usage until i have to wake the screen and turn that apps, then i only able to control the volume.. sometimes the cast control disconnected between p20 and chromecast (video playing on TV, but phone lost control). - i didnt turn on any power saving mode/ disable app launch automatically.. manual make sure the apps running in background and auto launch if close.
2. charging.. im used to charged my phone with powerbank (aukey, yoobao, romoss) all genuine products and they able to stop charging after phone fully charged and powerbank turned off automatically. now P20 cannot have that.. every morning i wake up and i saw my powerbank still in ON mode and charging my p20.. something wrong/different charging tech between huawei and my powerbank (support QC2.0 and normal 5V2A).
3. dont have control to mirror screen to TV anymore.. mirrorshare is not working for my case..
4. no google feeds in stock launcher.. no choice have to dump huawei home launcher and use my paid NOVA launcher (coming from xperia device, which always have google feeds when swipe left to right). luckily nova launcher can install integration nova google companion to support back.. i always get my news through google feeds..
the key issue for my case is 2. charging prob.. luckily we have super charge adaptor and i have to charge it completely before i went sleep.
overall, the camera still images are really good and a lot of customisation available. somehow AI/vivid mode are too fake based on my liking.. but luckily we able to turn off in option unlike mate 10 series. night mode is a great option but somehow not suitable for all lowlight scene.. prefer use Pro mode to bring much natural photo..
