Just got mine today ( moving from P20 Pro) and I absolutely love it. The camera is brilliant, selfies are much improved and the video quality is night and day compared to p20 pro. I have loads of apps installed and everything works as it should with buttery smooth performance. Prior to getting the phone I was slightly concerned about the oscillating display technology instead of a speaker but it works just fine. The only downgrade from p20 pro imo is the speaker ( I preferred the stereo setup) and the lack of notification LED. I am still getting used to the fingerprint scanner as well but it does seem to be slightly slower as well.

Had to get one because I couldn't resist the camera. I was a bit dubious because a few of the reviews had mentioned problems getting Nova Launcher to work. So far I've had no issues whatsoever. The camera is amazing, overall speed is quicker than my S10+ and the fingerprint scanner is faster and more reliable too. Only negative for me is the lack of decent stereo speakers but it's not a deal breaker considering all the positives. Everyone seems to be making a big deal of the difference in screen resolution between this and the S10 but considering the default resolution on the S10 is identical I think most people wouldn't even realise. I'm enjoying this phone much more.

The best phone on the market easily! Camera awesome, quality zoom photos which I thought I would never use as much as I do.. Battery life beyond every expectations, getting 11-13h on screen time, and the best thing is when recharging, it takes just 55mins... Speed of opening apps and everything else is just fascinating.. It would have been perfect if they put 500+ppi screen and stereo speakers, but those are not as important for me as the things I have mentioned above.. Overall 9,7/10

For those of you who have now had the device a while are you happy, would you purchase it again?

 

[robbieismyname]

I think it's a great device.. Only wish I could customise it my liking

Overall, not as well finished and well thought and robust as samsung premium (had S8 before), especially with everything software, in dozens of small things here and there. That being said, still overall awesome and really well done, especially the photo hardware/sensors.

Definitely, in a heartbeat.

I since went out and bought one, have had a bit more than 3 weeks. It's a solid device , I am enjoying it. Everything works pretty decent. I have the 6/128 version. Love the battery life, have Nova Launcher prime installed , running dark theme. Camera is great, I love the zoom useful for me big time. May still buy the Mi 9T Pro or Zenfone 6 when it releases but for now happy

A great tip for the camera, especially when zooming, always use HDR found in the modes menu. You'll get much much sharper results.

How come?

Firstly I bought it for the camera and it is not as good as my LG v30 with gcam mod and secondly it can't be rooted..

Did you update it? Updates did it a great favor.
Few weeks ago, I was too close to trading it for a Pixel 3 XL, but after trying my friend's Pixel, I decided to keep it.
As for rooting, that doesn't bother me, but if it's essential for you, then I hear you. Any idea what you want to trade it for?

It is on the latest firmware. I think Samsung s10. I will install the gcam app and hopefully root it also..

Yeah, if it's the Snapdragon version, then definitely go with it. I had the exynos S10 Plus and the camera was trash, and there's no reliable Gcam port for it. My wife is still stuck with her S10, but she doesn't care that much about the camera, so it's all good.

To be honest I've not really spent much time looking around as had a bit of a gutfull
Of phones... I did also like my LG v30. Great camera and easily replaced the rear glass and battery. I may go that route also. It would be great if the P30 Pro bootloader is again unlockable as then maybe camera could be worked on to improve it. I will have a think as to my next move lol

I was also looking at the OnePlus 7 Pro, but none of the phones I looked at came close to the versatility and power of the P30 Pro. I take lots of indoor pictures of my kids, and indoors and in low light conditions, the capability of this phone shines.
If I was you, I would wait few months, not only better flagships are coming, but the prices of current flagships will drop as well.
