Would like to ask if any ex Mate 20X owners who upgraded to a phone with higher quality camera that is able to take even better quality photos in all conditions low light or day light? The camera of the Mate 20X is excellent. I've been using this phone for almost 3 years now and the quality of photos is very good, great sharpness and colours even in low light shots in shopping malls etc.

Has anyone tried Huawei Mate 30Pro, P30 Pro or Mate 40pro and P40 Pro, or the latest P50 Pro?

I moved to Vivo X80p, and yes happy with the camera performance and its low light capability.

Thanks for the response. So I presume the camera performance of the Vivo X80 Pro is better than Huawei Mate 20X in both good light and low light. The reviews of the camera on the X80 Pro seem to be great.

Further investigation revealed that the Vivo 80X Pro is RM4k+. I guess I am not up to date (ketinggalan zaman). I thought Vivo phones are low end priced around RM1k or less. That was about 5 years ago. It looks like Vivo now produce costly high end phones costing up to RM5k.

I also got to know after doing some search on the Internet that the highest end model from Vivo is X90 Pro. The camera of the X80 Pro is claimed to be better than the X90 Pro in some reviews. RM4k for a phone is a bit rich for me. All my previous phones don't cost above RM3k as all are RM2k+. Will use my existing Mate 20X until it fails to start up then I'll give this X80 Pro a look. By that time the price may have gone down to more affordable levels. 😁

True, memang tak masuk akal Vivo jual maham cam tu!
All my previous phone pun less than 3k. I was using Mate20pro but due to security issue, i was forced by my office to change it.

The reason I went with X80p is, I need the IR blaster, so no choice la kan.

I bought it back in Sep/Oct I think, dah lupa pulak. At that time brand new was 4.8K tapi sekarang dah turun, if not mistaken its 4.3k.
Anyways, I bought a used 3months old unit for 3.1-3.2k, so it was worth it.

Would like to heard comment/feedback of Mate 20X users here who upgrade tho HarmonyOS/EMUI 12.
It is recommended to upgrade, I currently on EMUI 11 China ROM

does Mate 20 supports Android Auto? i cant seems to download it from Google Playstore

No need download,
I think AndroidAuto already preloaded in the Android System,
once you connect using USB Cable,
your car HU should be detect automatically..

Sad la, my Mate20 did not receive beyond android 9 updates

Ada update lagi..

hi.. for the Mate 20X, any one fixed the side button = the volumn up / down and the power button at KL/PJ area?

if Huawei SC cost about 1K..

My Huawei Mate 20 Pro finally kicked the bucket yesterday. Just scrolling through Facebook and suddenly hang and restart. I was just recently replaced the battery for RM99 at SC. Probably mainboard issue from googling, CPU detach from chip is the most likely culprit). Contemplating on buying another board from aliexpress for RM160~ or send it for CPU reball just to make it alive again. Great thing I was able to back the data up since it can be booted fine if I let it cool down.

I really hate to replace phone (need to reinstall apps, banking app all need to reauthorize and wait 24 hours, and Desktop Projection feature is the best!)

That is legendary yo

Good luck in your DIY project

I've been living with this condition on my Mate 20X for several months already after all physical buttons on the side of my Mate 20X failed to function. The only solution is to install the On/Off app. Just make sure the phone will always be charged. If the phone switched off due to low battery, that's it. You can't switch it on after that and need to bring it to a shop.

Phone is alive now with a replacement mainboard. I was just wondering anyone here successfully able to upgrade from EMUI12 to HarmonyOS 3 by changing region to China? I have tried but update is still not being pushed to me device.

note sure about mate 20 series, but manage to do that with Mate 50 pro. change region.. take 1 to 2 days and walla dpt Harmony OS 3.. then now 4

I still like my Mate 20 X very much.
It would be great if there's a way to update the OS.

Some important apps are not workable for the Mate 20X already as it's not supported by the phone. Can "Air Selangor" apps work on your phone? The new version of the Air Selangor app is not supported by the phone already. I'm not sure what is the difference with the old version of the app. Fortunately, water bills can still be paid through the old version of Air Selangor app.

I'm not sure what other apps will not be supported by the phone later on. It will be a problem with old phones. Even though the phone may still work fine for many years, the problem is it cannot support the latest apps that will be launched in the future.

Wah, you managed to get the mainboard from AliExpress ah?
I remember last time I replaced it at SC about RM3xx..

Going to replace the battery again after almost three years,
Will keep the phone as spare phone or Candy Crush Phone. 😆

Yes. Total damage was around RM180+. My mainboard kaput few days after I replaced the battery at Huawei SC. Not sure whether it is coincidence or during battery change (removing back panel), the phone was subjected to a too much heat on the heat plate, causing chip to detach

I am very surprised that Huawei also provide update for HarmonyOS 4 for mate 20 Pro which is already 6 years since its release.
