It’s actually my dad’s phone. He never use phone mount before. Only place it in pocket when driving. Never place it in car under direct sun. Dropped from table height 2 times through its lifetime. The gap is around 1mm when I first notice the battery swelling up. But today it suddenly got a lot worse and force the back plate wide open (~8mm gap).

For myself, my iPhone was accidentally placed in car under direct sun, few hours, for at least 2 times. And the battery still going strong and no swelling after 2 years.

Will get the warranty sorted out ASAP.

That's make sense, most likely drop phone(cell physical damaged) cause the puff.
The another cause that make lithium battery puff less likely happen on smartphone(over charge, over discharge) since phone and charger will stop charging if they sense something wrong.


Stop using the phone, place it somewhere safe as it got chance to catch fire.

Huawei no international warranty. You only can claim warranty back to original country that you bought. Many Huawei phone users battery pop out over the period of time use. I never face before. Most due to overcharged especially charge over the night. Phone shall stop to charge once reach 100% n don't left it charging. Good practice is charge never below 40% to maintain the quality of the battery.

What is the latest software version for Mate 20 currently?

I am 10.1.0.273

So far am satisfied with it so I didn't update further.

Mate 20x, yesterday updated to 11.0.0.138, the very obvious change is the AOD, others, not so much noticeable.

Mate 20 Pro, last update was Oct 2020; 10.1.0.325

No more future update after this ?

I think there will be update update EMUI 11.

Initially we were slotted for Jan 2021, but they have pulled out M20p from the list

SO Im assuming it will be on quarterly update then

Okay which phone is good as Mate 20 Pro to get now ?

New One plus 9 ?

You are lucky, i'm still with v10. Can I know if you have done anything apart from updating from settings>system & updates> software updates?

No worry update released by batches. My Mate20x still yet to get EMUI 11. Will get these few days. Anyway not much diff once you got it too. Almost the same. I testwd my wife P30pro.

Hi guys, I was wondering if anyone has upgraded the Mate 20X to Mate 40 Pro or 40 Pro Plus. If yes, I am particularly interested to know if the camera of the Mate 40 Pro is significantly better than the Mate 20X in low light or all shooting conditions.

I have always been interested in getting a quality compact camera since 15 or 20 years ago, say the Panasonic Lumix LX7 (now LX100) or Fujifilm X100 etc. but never really own one despite having the budget for it for one simple reason - it is likely I will only use the camera 1 or 2 times in a year and it will most likely end up in the cupboard or something most of the time. The same cannot be said about the phone as people use it every minute of the day. Also, I am not much of a camera enthusiast and have no knowledge of manually adjusting the settings of the camera to take good pictures (exposure, shutter speed etc.) and mostly take photos in auto mode.

Hence, the only practical and most useful option is a phone with a higher quality camera than this Mate 20X. I have to admit that the camera of the 20X is respectable given its hardware limits such as small size of sensor. In good light, the image quality is above average. In low light indoors, it is still acceptable but the images get a little smeared with noise which is perfectly acceptable due to its small sensor. I was thinking of the Mate 40 Pro will be a noticeable if not significant upgrade in performance given its slightly larger sensor of 1/1.28".

Is there anyone who has upgraded to the Mate 40X Pro or Pro+ and noticed higher quality photos with better clarity and detail in all shooting conditions, good light or low light indoors? I am aware there may be other phones that are good but I don't know why I seem to like the Huawei design. I don't particularly like Apple or Oneplus, or Samsung due to the even higher price. However, if anyone owns the Samsung, Oneplus, Google Pixel or any other phones and found the camera to be better than the Mate 20X, please feel free to share. The main interest is still the Mate 40 Pro though.

I havent been surveying any new phones in the market, kinda out of touch now. Will give M20p another year to go, since there is no lag and all works fine

Just updated my 20X - emui11 but still on Android 10

+1

my Mate20Pro still working fine except the battery seems not as good as new

One Plus 9 Series hardware spec seems quite attracted me,
Not sure the software portion how..

I yet to receive on my 20x. Yes EMUI11 only to Android 10. It is the last for Mate 20x if not mistaken.

Bit lazy to write, haha, so take a screenshot:



Oh ya, just recently only got the Volte for my phone as this Maxis sure is super slow in deploying this technology.
