Expensive mate 20 x you have... I only paid £325 from Facebook marketplace

Well mine was brand new, I'm guessing you're wasn't and it was 16 months ago when it was worth more. It was £800 or something like that when new in October 2018.

How do you find where the remaining warranty is, I know it's in 'benefits, but where is that?

I bought the Mate XS way back in April but still trying to get GMS to play smoothly before I transit over fully. To me, the screen estate is a major point for me so I almost always go for the largest screen possible and so far besides the Mate XS, there is nothing that comes close, not even the Samsung Fold 2 which gives a small screen when folded.

To be honest, I really don't understand so many critize EMUI, for me it's not bad at all.

The o/s is lacking in important areas. Huawei shouldve done a better job with it.

I just tried a Galaxy Note 10 plus for a week and was pretty disappointed. Really missed the bigger screen. Battery life was a lot less and the speakers are tinny in comparison. I know it's old but am going back to the Mate 20 X for the rest of this year. Most enjoyable phone I've had for a long time.

Where does it lack somthing, u mean?

Hi bigdisplay. You had to ask so here it is:

1. The recent app switcher isnt accurate. When you pick one app it chooses another.
2. Theres flickering which I've tested on 2 mate 20x's
3. Auto brightness isnt saved after reboots.
4. System notifs cant be dismissed or easily turned off in which case you need an app for that. And unfortunately despite the app those notifs still return after reboots which again you must use the app for them yet again.
5. Network time notifs keep haunting which cant be turned off.
6. My music player (PlayerPro) cant use its own lockscreen for unknown reasons.
7. Battery isnt that efficient.

It bewilders the living excrement out of me how huawei which is supposed to be this big, serious phone maker hasnt addressed these ongoing issues users have complained about for YEARSSSSS. If you think about it its disgusting.

It should behoove anyone with a half a brain to complain about these immature issues to huawei which other o/s's would be too embarrassed to possess.

Any new phones that come close to the Mate 20X?

 

[nickb99NZ]

I look every now and again for something from a good manufacturer with a screen bigger than 6.9"...nothing has interested me enough to change. I'm really hoping Xiaomi launch a 7.0" phone or bigger. I've owned several of their devices and they worked well. The 20x plays the games I like well enough and everything else is solid and reliable (standard OS, not rooted) so no incentive to change for me

i am mate 10 pro to mi 10t pro

 

[nickb99NZ]

Trying out a Xiaomi Mi 11 now...6.81"
Everything seems tiny after the 20x

 

[nickb99NZ]

Maybe am interested to try the 5G 20x...so I keep the bigger screen. Does anyone know if the 5g version will get more updates than the 4g version, or is it treated the same?

Huawei Mate 20/20 Pro/20 X will no longer receive monthly/quarterly security updates

Huawei Mate 20/20 Pro/20 X will no longer receive monthly/quarterly security updates. These smartphones were released in 2018.

This is the only thing I could find about the 5G version.
It's dated but does put the 5G phone in a separate section (probably not for so long, though?)

Yup, I agree. Also the 5g has worse battery life and lower grade speakers than the 4g. Which I remember is partly why I didn't buy that model originally.

 

[nickb99NZ]

Now listed on the bay UK , item 294212995821 if any 20x fan is interested. It's a good one.

The worst part is that the Mate 20x never felt big to me coming from an Xperia Z3 tablet compact and Mediapax X2 as my previous phones and looking at the market, everything is freaking KitKat shaped midget phones :/
Guess my only option is a fold 2...
