It's not so clear vs other better camera modules (more current ones) out there. I knew I was not fully satisfied with the camera when I first got the phone (it can't really compete with SLRs or even the mirrorless cams) but what I wanted was 3x optical zoom for me to take slides in a presentation and it does its job well and night mode is good enough.

The thing about the picture like coloured pencil or crayon has been there since day one - I suspect is the phone using the B&W sensor and then using another camera sensor to artificially fill in the colours - not only at 3x zoom. You can see the perspective/picture shift a bit when the colours change from the vivid one to the not so vivid/crayon like - it's the change in camera modules being used to take the picture.

anyone?

thanks, i supposed any new security patch is better than no more updates, even though it's only up till July.

2 years plus old phone, ok la, enjoy it while it last.

I never really noticed it before. It's only when I look back on my past photos, taken with other phones, that I start to notice. Sometime my old mi 5 seem to take better picture for close ups, in terms of clarity/focus and color reproduction.

If compared with my wife's note9, seems more apparent.

Though I remember the first pics I took with this phone awed my relatives. They thought that I took pictures with the DSLR that I also have. Probably because p20 pro was one of the best camera phones at the time.

Mine P20 pro still 161 and it says still up to date

Be patient, will come soon.

Just a security update. No harm for later update

Another update (patch) is coming up

https://www.notebookcheck.net/The-Huawei-P2...s.505361.0.html

europe only, malaysia need to wait longer like previous update.

Since P20 & P20Pro no longer getting EMUI 10.1 or 11, I don't really care on security update anymore, quite disappointed.

Yes agreed. Was surprised that a flagship phone in 2018 had short life for new updates. Guess this is my last Huawei phone

Same here, since no GMS for Huawei new phones, this will be my last Huawei phone. Many will say can live without GMS, but for me I can't.

I've just changed to Oneplus 8t from P20. Much prefer Huawei phone but lack of GMS is hard for me. Hope in the future Huawei phone will have GMS again.

Hows the 8t performance? Much better than p20pro?

Havent really fully using 8t. still using my p20 as i havent transfer my files over. my p20 cant last all day long now as I'm working 12 hours a day mostly. 8t is comparable in weight with p20 despite the bigger size. i think the old p20 take better pics. p20 dont have macro yet it can take very good close up with main sensor. the macro lens in 8t just suck haha. Havent try video mode yet. 8t screen is nice, amoled with 120hz. Battery is good and the 1 thing that makes me fall for it is the 65w charging rate. I've no issue using my p20 although it's is not as smooth and storage always almost full now(i dont have time to delete things, lol), the only thing is battery cant last long now and super charge 22.5w seems take forever lol. this is my 1st oneplus phone, ppl may like vanilla android but sometimes i prefer customized OS like huawei, samsung as they put together some useful app. Vanilla android seems boring and plain haha. i like a lot huawei support app which we can see repair cost, warranty info, promo, etc. oneplus doesnt have that and i think if lost the receipt, no one can tell when ur warranty ends.

hi bro i might just following same path of upgrade like you very soon..

My last Huawei phone too. Seriously p20 pro is a damn good phone... Camera also good.

But too bad cannot survive without google

yes, great phone, the one that started the amazing night mode trend.

Great phone. Great (for the time) camera and great battery life (even until now). But I have to agree, it's probably time to move on. And unfortunately for Huawei, I won't be buying another Huawei due to lack of GMS.

Yeah, I still love to use my P20 Pro & no reason to change yet.

The battery on my P20 Pro just swelled up overnight. I think I need to get the battery replaced. Huawei Support says I can drop it off at any Huawei Center; has anyone experienced this before?
