Hello guys! Guess I'm late to the party laugh.gif Anyways, I gotten a P20 from a contest, and I'm currently using OP3 so I planning to swap over.

I was wonder how do P20 perform in daily usage in term of app management and hows the performance like.

Asking so is because OP3 has 6GB or ram and P20 only 4GB, so I wonder hows the RAM management in EMUI vs AOSP.

Hope to hear from P20 user for your exp, gracias!

I just got my P20 Pro a week ago. Coming from OP5T and Sony XZ2, I suspect your OP3 is smoother lol. And I'm not talking about RAM. It's the UI 2D rendering which has tearing kind of look and stutters randomly.

😅 Eh.. That's rise my doubt should I open my or just sell it.. Haha.. It's brand new given by huawei official + vip card on. I'm just kinda doubtful about the performance on long run as I read about AI chip actually will learn user's daily activity and optimize accordingly.

Is camera important to you? This is the only strong point for p20.

If no, sell and buy op6t.

I do occasionally take photos tho, now am riding with my OP3 camera with snapseed. One side question, how much would a BNIB set of P20 with VIP card worth these day?

That's what Huawei say but I have my doubt. It could just be a simple memory page counters and memory garbage collection at work and they call it AI. doh.gif

Haha I would say sell both away and upgrade to something with at least 6GB RAM like OP6T? hehe
*
In fact I was having OP6T in my mind right before this P20 comes into my play. Afterall, it was a prize from contest. laugh.gif Looks like let go is another option. But I aint sure what are the price for P20 now.

Coming from OP3T, I'm pretty satisfy with my P20.. overall performance P20 lead in many ways that OP3/3T, especially on camera parts. Having P20 for my travel trip, was more that enough to get great shot.
*
Heyho! Finally some light shed! rclxm9.gif
So how do you find with the performance compared with OP3T that you previously owned? I mean like minus 2GB of ram, does it impact anything on ur daily drive? For me, I particularly more on social media like FB, Insta, Whatsapp, emails. Occasionally movie & photography during travel. And does the EMUI system learned you're pattern after sometime you've been using it? Man I'm curious to know. laugh.gif

Well, for my usage with some ML gaming and heavy social apps, so far no problem, I can minimize games and do messaging and browsing the reopen without reloading. Idk if open few games will make a different as I don't do that in real life.
*
Hm. Guess 4GB does do well with P20 then, lucky I'm not heavy game, the only game I have is clash royal for time killing purposes. laugh.gif

Mind if I ask what kinda of SP are you using right now? I'm hunting casing right now. laugh.gif

Don't use it, it creates rainbow effect, super prone to scratches and you can get cheaper oem version elsewhere.

Darn... sweat.gif Luckily didnt drop any bomb on it. You mean even the V2.0 also have the issue u mentioned above?

Eying now this one on Taobao. Review are impressive. Guess its time to get it.

Sorry man. Just got to check the forum. laugh.gif I end up with Ringke Fusion X instead yo.

Been using P20 for 2days, I can stay that the power mgmt is awesome. With only 3400mah, I can easily clock 3hrs SOT with 14hrs usage and there's still 50% battery left laugh.gif

Ps. P20 EMUI 9 gonna roll by tomorrow? hmm.gif

Hm. Looks like I'm also having P20 battery (or perhaps reading) issue, experienced it last night where by the phone prompt that 15% batt left, and I din't bother and keep using it until 5% left and got auto shutdown. And no, I didn't turn any power saving mode.

I think I gonna perform a full factory reset when I'm free later and see how it goes again since I've emptied the battery and recharge it to full, consider that a battery reset.

P/s: Coming from AOSP rom background, I always don't put much faith in incremental upgrade like this. laugh.gif

Not sure if it's related, but I got the same problem as u after upgrade to EMUI 9 from 8, and my FB apps also giving weird problems (play / pause button didn't show up randomly, tried clear cache, uninstall and install fresh copy). Not to say also, 10GB of storage gone after installed EMUI 9 via OTA. sweat.gif

So I give my phone a full reset today, and surprisingly all problems mentioned above seems gone after that. I just full drained the batt, now charging it up for a full reset and I'm gonna see how it gonna behave few days later.

looks like i have got to do a full reset too.  sweat.gif

You may if you have the time to do. laugh.gif Btw, a quick feedback here after all the hectic tasks performed. I got like a 3% drain over the night (on full data mode, from 1130PM - 7AM this morning). Looks good to me.

QUOTE(olygopoly @ Dec 27 2018, 11:36 PM)
Usually I'll do a wipe cache after each update installation band usually do the trick

Was from OP, AOSP based rom previous so every single update I did was clean flash. tongue.gif Still not use with OTA type of upgrade, kinda dirty flash to me.

QUOTE(kamikraze @ Dec 28 2018, 02:50 AM)
redownloading all apps and backup will be really pain.
*
You actually can use HiSuite to back all your stuffs in your phone before perform a clean wipe then restore it back again once the format is done. HiSuite works just like iTunes backup / Xiaomi PC Suite. It helps alot tho, of cause it cant compare with Titanium backup la. laugh.gif

What 3rd party launcher are you guys using now for Emui 9? I tried to install CPL and Rootless Launcher, both keep hanging on me and Smart Recovery appeared to asked me to uninstall the launcher.

So far only can use Nova without issue.

Any suggestions?

Nova do well on my P20 tho.

i'm using p20 pro with film type, so far i supposed it's ok.

Film type usually the feel of touch not that satisfactory. Good film type sp are x-one or blackjack
Im using nillkin ones. Works good on Nillkin CP+. No halo effect and coating is good. Got at rm39. There is cheaper ones Nillkin Amazing H+ pro. Used it on other phone before, basically it is as good as the latter one except it doesn't cover as much coverage.
Alternatively, saw Benks Vpro+ selling at rm25 on shopee. Used before on my iphone. Not bad too. Your choice.  biggrin.gif

If it was me, i would avoid china no branded sp at all cost, espeacially those below rm15 per pcs. 100% Plagued with halo, sensitivity and clarity issues.

Thanks for the input man.. Currently I'm using the cap palang from the case I bought and its really meh. Not full screen nvm but still have the white edge. I think I will go with Nillkin CP+ and see how it goes 1st. laugh.gif
