using both and i can say, both are good you may check my previous replies in older threads of P20. Iphone has some best features. only constrain is $$$. most apps need $$. FYI, you already paying 3K plus phone and still need $$$ for storage, apps etc which some is free on android. as for picture, both are good as i am using 7plus which is better at raw shooting. P20 has a flaw in raw shooting which is you are not able to zoom.
3 things i'm wondering: 1) backup.. is it similar to icloud if i change my device, i can restore and it'll appear seamlessly? 2) can this phone take "live" photo or similar? 3) emoji haha this might be minor, not trolling but on older android i saw on my friend's phone it looks really ugly (like melting!). has this changed now?
1. much better than icloud. only issue is only android to android. android to ios or ios to android is not working for most stuff. EG whatapps backup is easier on Android. trust me. 2. Yes. all android phones can 3. it depends on the manufacturer. however we have xda or apps u can download to have emoji u need
jfyi raw photo is basically useless for normal user. it doesn't beautified the photo at all.
basically raw photo hv a lot of color info, but it doesn't sharpen the photo nor reduce the iso noise.
it is very useful only if u do the advanced photography editing. the post processing able to bring out all the hidden color, this is true if u know the real hdr which is better than phone camera hdr.
haha I set my photo to 7mb, simply bcoz I hate 4:3 format. and it is good enuf...
You dont read what i wrote. I mentioned shooting long exxposure like Milky way or moon.
Ask future80 yourself this questio before buying a protector for camera. Have you ever own previously a smartphone? Do you seen your previous smartphone camera lens scratch before? These lens are gorilla glass and is not easily scratch. also you seldom get to scratch it
just updated, anything to take note of? p20 pro here.
night mode shot is not as good anymore. How can we address this issue to HuaWei, I think it is because our P20 Pro 3rd camera is black and white which is not same as Mate which is wide angle

Anyone having problem such as some apps couldnt open.. such as shopee, currency.? and My facebook auto closed when open any news. (try reinstall and reboot) This problem occur after update to eMui9. 0. P20 user..
You may try wipe your phone cache. restart the phone and hold on to volume up and power button during restart. once the bootloader up, select the 3rd option which is wipe cache partition. do not select the second one. after done select restart phone which is the 1st option. See if this helps solved
Night mode doesn't utilise the monochrome sensor... In fact that monochrome lens only activate when u take black & white pics as Mate will activate wide angle lens when u use wide angle feature...
U can try cover the third lens with finger when u switch between camera mode... U can see nothing blocks the focus except in monochrome mode
Night mode uses the monochrome sensor. As explain here

What about the third camera, the 20 MP black & white one? Well, that one does not have a Bayer filter at all – no need to record color – so it gets more light. You see, the filter removes much of the light so less of it reaches the pixels. A B&W camera handles better in the dark, but most people want color images. There’s a workaround to that.
Recall that both the 40 MP camera and the B&W one have the same focal length, 27mm (equiv.). This means they see roughly the same image – not just overlapping images like the tele/40 MP cameras, but actually the same image from left to right, top to bottom (aside from a small shift in perspective).
This allows the P20 Pro to combine the low-light shooting advantages of the B&W camera with color information from the 40 MP sensor into one bright and colorful nighttime shot. We suspect that Huawei uses the B&W camera even during the day, the phone will complain if it’s covered up (even in broad daylight).
i could be wrong but when i look at the P20 Pro triple cameras physical hardware.... lenses are fixed to sensors... if u cover the B&W lens then i doubt how the sensor will get the image.... u can try that in modes like photo or portrait and try to cover telephoto or B&W lens with finger; the phone will give u warning "Please do not cover the lenses"..
try to cover B&W lenses in night mode and no warning given...
it also explain here that the night superiority is due the unusual large main sensor...
DxOmark Thanks to an unusually large (by smartphone standards) 1/1.73″ sensor in its main camera, the Huawei P20 Pro delivers class-leading low levels of noise, making it the smartphone of choice for any kind of photo and video shooting in low light and indoor conditions. In the night shot comparison below, you can see that the Huawei sample shows better detail and significantly lower noise levels than the competition from Apple and Google.
forbes Elsewhere, the P20 Pro drew particular praise for its low-light performance with and without flash. This is due, in part, to its unusually large main sensor which allows more of the available light to be captured at any given aperture size. Although the P20 Pro’s main aperture of f/1.8 might seem less bright than the f/1.5 of the Galaxy S9+, the larger sensor size more than makes up for this. Remember f-stops are mathematically linked to the size of the image circle they produce, so you can’t just compare one f-number against another without taking sensor size into account.
Nope. Nothing pops when shoots in night mode here is sample Guess which is pictured covering the BW lens and which is not covered with BW lens
