Worse then 2 years old honor note 10- Mediatek soc and non amoled screen
non AMOLED so....see the specs and other articles about the screen-RGBW screen brightness power consumption etc

Don't go for name recognition...Mediatek is not what it used to be-gaining high end customers (good for competition)

also noticed plenty of band coverage unlike past Honor models - in the U.S. this provides ample coverage on all major bands (despite not being a global release)

EDIT one thing though I agree don't see much advantage/distinction if any over current 20X (even the ugly waterdrop notch has pesisted)

Thats why I'll most likely buy the honor x10 max since its compatible with tmobile in USA. In case my 20x breaks I'll be buying it.

I've just ordered the Poco f2 pro. Hoping I can get on with the smaller screen size and single speaker!! Loved this mate20x, but the OS is grim!! Might unlock bootloader now (yes I have unlock code) and play around with custom ROMs!! Time to learn to code maybe lol

Where did you got the unlock code. And for how much.

I got it over a year ago when they were still available, for around £15. And I did root my device before, but preferred the stock ROM at that time, so reflashed stock.
But will the unlock code work on 10.. thats the question. Dont think it will unless you have 9 or 9.1.

There is big difference but in favor of 20x...
Best phone in history, yet
20x was best (is best to many) but lacked double tap to wake (for me it is a very useful feature) and notification led (well all phones these days don;'t have this anyway) I found a workaround on the DTW by using smart lock unlock with the AOD on but had huge battery drain even if the brightness was minimum for AOD. Too bad.
