Got my mate 20 pro on p30 launch day for RM2549. upgraded from p20 pro for the wide angle lens and 40w charging.

Wonder how Samsung users can still tolerate with 15w 'fast' charging.

The circle part. Possible to make it transparent?

Go to your camera setting and change the resolution to 18.8:9 [6mp]

Does the picture quality degrade by selecting 6MP?

Not really. Been doing so for all of my phones

Icic...then what is the difference between 40MP and 6MP?
*
Depends on how you utilise the 40mp. And I dun think you shoot daily on 40mp do you? Its normally 10mp vs 6mp. 40mp unless you want to shoot in raw/ or if you are using the image on monitor.

There are full glue tempered glass in the market already. And the price is not expensive. Its not the kind that requires uv glue. But you do need some skill to make sure the alignment is right. This is not the kind with side glue and Web pattern in the middle.

However, since this is the non-branded type, you will encounter different 'cutting' of the black border. The bad one will cut off the screen top and bottom. I bought two pieces from two different suppliers and the second one was a good one.

I'm using it now and I also got one for my friends using p30 Pro. The last time i used a curved screen phone was the galaxy S8 and it was a PITA at that time to look for a tempered glass.

Just want to say one thing...how can it not be handled when it’s a demo unit? Anyway, like I said in the above post, to each his own. Just be a smart buyer.

Some dealers will keep the demo unit sealed to retain its resale value one year later.

Not all dealers display actual phones in their shop.

Sorry, perhaps I missed something. Given your explanation, it is then NOT a demo unit but standard inventory. However, I don’t believe that’s the case when these sellers advertise as such. However, that’s just my take on this.
*
It is still a demo unit with pre-installed software slightly different from the normal one.

Im a dealer and I don't normally unsealed my demo unit just to retain its value. These units are not free, but acquired at a discounted price.

Anyway, I do agree not to trust our local ah beng hp dealers as they have all sorts of stickers to seal unsealed units and advertised it as brand new 😂

Finally say goodbye to my mate 20 pro. Had to be one of the best phone i have ever used. One and a half year on, this phone still has killer specs compare to 2020 flagship.

QHD screen
3D face scanning (feature i like the most. unlocks your phone in pitch black condition)
40w supercharge
Wireless and reverse wireless charging
IP68
In-display fingerprint scanner

Take a look at all the new flagships, and you will find these features familiar. Thats how well this phone has aged.

Never.

1 and half years on, my Mate 20 still smooth and doing well.

But hands itchy wanna try other phone lol
Why you choose P40 Pro though it doesn't have GSM? Just curious.
*
3d face unlock. Safer and works in the dark
Better ultra wide angle lens. Stronger emphasis from huawei
40w charging brick included
27w wireless charging. I have huawei wireless car charger
And the design lol.

Not sure though if i can live without gms. I'll try and adapt and see how it goes.

i think p40 will b a new challenge if no google service. also not sure if bank apps and e-wallet supported.
*
E-wallet is supported. Not all bank apps are in the app gallery. But mostly are.

Anyway, i dont think this google ban will be a permanent thing. So if i can live without google for the time being, then it can only be a good thing.

u can go to have a look at the physical store then u will understand.
mate 40 can only be consider as mid range instead of high end due to few point

low quality display.
lpddr4x ram instead of lpddr5.

no ufs3 (using own storage type)
