I was so interested in getting P20 Pro. Thinking of trading in my S8+ to get it. I wonder how much I need to topup to get P20 Pro. hmm.gif

Looks like Huawei is getting better and better now. thumbsup.gif

Hi all, anyone here change from s8 to p20? Or owning both phone? Can I have your comment on both phone in terms of battery, performance and camera. Does the regular p20 camera really that good? As I do not have the budget for the pro model so only can choose between s8 and p20. Hope the sifus here can share some of your view.

I moved from S8+ to P20 pro. I suggest you go P20 pro as your S8 screen will look better than P20. P20 pro screen just as good as s8+ imo. Camera wise p20 or p20 pro definitely better than s8. I feel speed also faster on p20 pro but that is just my personal opinion.

Im feel battery life is better than my S8+ also. Its quite a moderate upgrade for me.

What about GPS? I heard some complaint about weak GPS for Huawei phone.. difficult to lock and easy to loss  location signal.

Prior the P20, I own the S8.

1. Battery life - S8 s*cks. P20 is just FINE. Not the best battery (I still think my previous P10 has a better battery and my Moto X4 is killing it.)

2. Camera - both S8 and P20 have very good image qualities BUT, when you install GCam in the S8, damn..Google is really really good in image processing.
Both S8 and P20 have unrealistic skin tones which ASIANS love a lot.
As for lowlight, both are capable. It's a draw for me.

3. Performance - S8 in Nougat is quite laggy but all this changed when it received Oreo update. All the lags are almost completely gone.
P20 is smooth but EMUI 8.1 has some bugs  not related to performance but more on aesthetics (Font size, etc..)

I was using S8+. I notice the fonts are huge in default on p20 pro. But this can be changed. I was wondering if there is a way to change fonts like in samsung phones?

I just found out that you can change Text Font while holding the Theme button. A pop-up window will appear. Anyone knows how to get more fonts?

Yeap. I'm using Roboto Regular font now. It did change the font in the camera app! The default one looks cartoonish and not professional.

Where did you download the fonts?

super duper noob question...when we download the huawei VIP app, it asks to sign up with "ENTER VIP CODE". Only number i see is the membership no. Is that it? I tried to enter the whole alphanumeric, doesnt work. Numbers only, also doesn't work. Am I missing something?
*
I had the same issue...When I register it says I am already registered. And when it asks for VIP code, I tried everything but failed to login. I basically gave up...

Both P20 and P20 Pro are equally good phones. Just go with your liking and budget.
If you want a bigger screen and triple lens camera, then the Pro is for you. if you want compact iPhone X size, then P20 is adequate. I feel both have equally good cameras.

P20 Pro.
better screen. amoled vs led
bigger rom/storage 128GB
more ram 6gb
bigger screen
bigger battery and additional battery lifespan (amoled uses less battery compared to led screen)
triple lens camera for better AI quality pictures
*
Actually, both have 128GB storage, just that P20 has 4GB ram vs 6GB ram on Pro if I not mistaken. hmm.gif

I have sold my P20 Pro for Vivo NEX. laugh.gif

Still miss the 3 lens camera but hopefully, Huawei makes bigger screens. 6.1 inch too small for this old man lol.
