    Might wait for the Chinese version for lower price. Fantastic Phone though, beat samsung note9

    • angelkulit025 on 18/10/2018 - 14:59

      what Chinese version?

      • Louis89 on 18/10/2018 - 15:33

        I assume he means Chinese ROM, Grey Import.

      • lplsz on 18/10/2018 - 15:57

        This phone will make a debut later on 25th Oct in China and will be priced cheaper than anywhere else.

        • Penpinch on 18/10/2018 - 21:40

          I suggest everyone to resist the urge and hold out until it comes out in Hong Kong as I've heard its gonna be around the HK$7000 mark which is ~AU$1250.

    • alx88 on 18/10/2018 - 16:05

      How? I can't see how this is going to be better for a business user who uses the pen and other productivity tools. Cameras should be almost the same in many situations. Same display as well. Battery life of note is quite good.

      • angelkulit025 on 18/10/2018 - 16:58

        You should try the mate 20x which has a pen.

        • Ronnnie on 19/10/2018 - 14:16

          Does these Huawei offer an alternative for DEX?

    • Clemfandango on 18/10/2018 - 17:06

      Will you be able to flash a global rom if the bootloader is permanently locked?

    • ACINWA on 18/10/2018 - 21:11

      I owned Chinese version of Huawei Mate 9 Pro and now I'm using the Honor 10. There are few issues so far I think You might need to think before get the Chinese version of Huawei phones.

      NFC seems have issue with Google pay, I only successfully paid once, then the NFC pay won't go through. Although phone app shows the pay animation but the EFTPOS would show fail. Google pay only can use for everyday rewards at moment.

      Doesn't support Google location history, also means you can't use Google fitness app and Google find my phone.

      The phone can't be locked remotely through find my phone. Huawei hicloud's find my phone seem can't be activated outside of China, and only Chinese Hicloud account supports find my phone, I tried to switch to Australian and that option just disappear. So basically you can't locate where it is if you lost, that's how I lost my Mate 9 Pro…

      Lack of the DRM that allows you play streaming services in HD like Netflix, Stan. OnePlus had this issue, but I don't think Chinese version of Huawei would get further update to fix that.

      Play store won't update itself.

      Can't set Google assistant as default assistant app. The built voice assistant is useless and can't be removed.

      • neonlight on 18/10/2018 - 21:54

        Can you unlock bootloader and install custom rom to remediate all of this?

        • ACINWA on 18/10/2018 - 22:15
          +1

          I thought of that. But that would lose support for CDMA network, and the carrier I use in China is CDMA based. And Huawei no longer provide unlock code for their Chinese version phone.

        • Clemfandango on 19/10/2018 - 19:19

          Huawei no longer allows unlocking. There seems to be some sites that still sell unlock codes but I don't know how it works or if it's legit.

      • ACINWA on 18/10/2018 - 22:27

        Lastly, Chinese version Huawei phones only support Volte for Chinese carriers.

      • Gr4mos on 30/10/2018 - 16:13

        Well said, I happens the same with my Honor 8 pro Chinese Version, great phone though!

        No… It's a hypothetic animal, a combination of a few animals, not giraffe… at all…

        • DarthAntz on 19/10/2018 - 00:13

          動物園 calls a giraffe kirin.
          but you are also correct, hypothetical and also mythical, as the kirin beer animal is a weird unicorn thing.

          • bchliu on 19/10/2018 - 00:48

            @DarthAntz: It traces back to the ORIGINAL Chinese Mythical animal that some mistook the Giraffe to be when they introduced it in Asian countries. The name is not Japanese origin (Chinese) and considering it is a Chinese phone, it refers to the mythical creature.

  • rockyb433 on 18/10/2018 - 14:50

    How does this phone go against the pixel 3xl? I was pretty much sold on the pixel but this looks quite good as well

    • lplsz on 18/10/2018 - 14:57

      Pixel is no where close to this beast.

      • Bigboomboom on 18/10/2018 - 15:05
        +3

        It's fairly close in terms of camera. Unfortunately Huawei image processing sucks so they kind of wasted their top notch triple camera setup. For such overkill hardware I would expect them to leave Apple and Google in dust but in reality it's not. Just their main camera sensor size alone is huge compared to competitor, in theory it should be much better.

        • lplsz on 18/10/2018 - 15:16
          +11

          Have a look at Dx0 or buy one to see for yourself. Huawei's camera absolutly outperforms any others including Apple, Samsung and Google. Unless Apple and Google stops being arrogant and using a tiny bit of the huge prpfit they make to buy some actual flagship cmos, Huawei refleshed its own record. Unlike Pixel, Huawei has some real stuff in its notch as well as the bumped cameras. There is no doubt that Huawei is the best in terms of camera. It's other specs are incredible as well. 7nm Kirin 980, 4200mah battery, inscreen fingerprint and 40w quick charge. And apple is still giving out 5w charger while google is still keeping that huge chin and notch. I must say, Huawei brings out more sincerity producing this phone.

            +8

            @lplsz: There's a big difference between what DXO says and what is actually better in real life… DXO has been a compromised rating system for a while now. Pixel 2 still stomps over everything less than a pixel 3 irl. I'm not a fanboy but I am a photographer who has had the best samsung and apple cameras and still go back to the ol pixel 2.

            • rockyb433 on 18/10/2018 - 15:47

              @aNoPHeLeS: in your experience, how does this mate 20 pro fair against the pixel/apple?

              • Ryballs on 18/10/2018 - 15:57

                @rockyb433: Nobody knows how the Mate 20 Pro compares until someone has done an in-depth review of its photos.

              +3

              @aNoPHeLeS: Try zooming or taking a wide angle photo on a Pixel though..

              • aNoPHeLeS on 18/10/2018 - 16:44

                @Ryballs: Fair point Ryballs - the flexibility of the zoom/wide angle will lead to more creative possibilities, for the creative photographer. For most people, the simple point and shoot/click of the pixel will produce the best results. Google's software is astoundingly good.

              • Penpinch on 18/10/2018 - 21:43

                @Ryballs: THIS.

              @aNoPHeLeS: Well, Apple and samsung sucks comparing to Pixel, that doesn't mean Huawei is worse, it's way better than Iphone xs max and Samsung s9, note 9 with imx600.

              • ThithLord on 18/10/2018 - 16:50

                @lplsz:

                Well, Apple and samsung sucks comparing to Pixel

                You quoted DX0 - which has the P20 Pro at 109, iPhone XS Max at a score of 105, Samsung S9 Plus at 99 and the Pixel 2 at 98. How do they suck compared to the Samsung?

          • Bigboomboom on 18/10/2018 - 15:50

            @lplsz: I actually look at DXOmark and Xs Max is extremely close to P20 Pro in terms of grading. Pixel 2 is the same in terms of still photography.

            In fact I tested P20 Pro and Pixel 2 before buying Pixel 2 because yuck, P20 Pro managed to make the photos look worse with its impressive hardware. Huawei seriously need to improve its software. Pixel photo is usually truer to life in term of processing.

            I would say it's the same story with NOKIA Zeiss camera sensor. Impressive hardware (for the price) but sucky result due to software. There's a reason why Google still selling single main camera phone. Someone need to break Google monopoly on its advanced software. We would have much better result if Google do a triple camera setup or even more.

            • Bunnyburger on 18/10/2018 - 17:01

              @Bigboomboom: Can you use a google cam port for Huawei phones?

                @Bunnyburger: I haven't checked if anyone ported one. Try XDA.

              • Ttam on 18/10/2018 - 18:01

                @Bunnyburger: I've never been able to get the usual Google camera port to install on my Mate 9. I think it requires a Snapdragon processor.

            • neonlight on 18/10/2018 - 20:41

              @Bigboomboom: So what stops people to use Google camera app on good hardware like Huawei?

              • Bigboomboom on 18/10/2018 - 20:47
                +1

                @neonlight: Mostly because to make the most out of it you need Pixel Core. It can certainly improve a lot on decent hardware like Nokia where Nokia software falls flat on its face, but you won't get the amazing post processing without Pixel Core.

        • neonlight on 18/10/2018 - 22:32

          We need comparison between the three phones LG V40, mate 20 pro and Pixel 3 XL

          • Asx10000 on 19/10/2018 - 09:09

            @neonlight: DXOMARKS just released the LG G7's camera rating. You might want to check it out. I found it shocking because LG used to make amazing cameras for mobiles, but 83 points vs P20 pro's 109…

        • bchliu on 19/10/2018 - 00:55

          The closest to a comparison with this phone is the P20 Pro which really kills most of the competition (including the Samsung 8/9 series, Apple iPhone X's AND the Pixel 2/3). I bought one for my dad and shots in comparison to my Note 8 is on another level especially in low light. It gets most of the shots right but there has been some occasions where the "AI Camera" fails to detect and optimise the colouring for a scene or situation and having to turn that feature off (the picture is still good without the optimisations). In those circumstances, it comes out rather funny in colours.

      • Trishool on 19/10/2018 - 13:32

        In what respect though? Calling it a beast but no reason provided - you've got me convinced!

      • Ronnnie on 19/10/2018 - 17:20

        The 20Pro is like the best phone camera since the Lumia 1020. For the casual every day user that just shoots in Auto most of these flagships are as good as each other. Even my old Lumia 950XL can capture nice photos.

    • ChickenAdobo on 18/10/2018 - 15:07

      Better rams management if you like to game on your mobile

    • Xantar on 18/10/2018 - 17:35

      The hardware specs for this beats pixel 3xl hands down. Hardware > software. Google needs to step up their game.

  • JaxSantiago on 18/10/2018 - 14:52

    I think this is the one that comes with a proprietary NanoSD storage?

    • lplsz on 18/10/2018 - 14:58

      True, you can see it as a bonus as not MUch phone is providing tf card slot, ptherwise it can be a sim slot

    • Associatedlyl @ Mobileciti on 18/10/2018 - 14:59

      Hi JaxSantiago,
      Yes, the 2nd SIM slot for the Mate 20 Pro can be used as a NanoSD storage slot.

      • Trishool on 19/10/2018 - 13:38

        So they now control the supply and pricing of memory cards that can be used in the phone. Nice way to make lots of money, or lose potential and return customers.

    • neonlight on 18/10/2018 - 18:12

      Uses the same slot as second SIM and in a non standard Memory card size. Biggest killer.

      Why can't they make dual Sim with seperate MicroSD slot like Motorola G6?

    • kudoz on 18/10/2018 - 15:01
      +35

      Probably because they can replace $500 cameras, $500 ipods, $250 playstation portables all in one and get more daily / hourly usage than $1500 laptops etc?

      Gotta think of the overall time/usage/utility of things like this against other tech and $1500 starts to seem reasonable (as long as you're keeping it 3 years or so)

      • kudoz on 18/10/2018 - 15:24
        +3

        Wow, gotta love the fervent downvoting for pointing out something completely logical and reasonable…

      • giventofly on 18/10/2018 - 17:17

        So, doing the maths, let's say the phone costs (conservatively) $300 to manufacture. I am no marketer, but let's add $150 to cover marketing, packaging, distribution, etc and we're at $450.

        A comparable P&S camera would cost around $400 and that would likely lack the convenience features of being able to directly upload to OneDrive, Google Photos, etc.

        A PMP with that screen, access to the latest streaming services doesn't exist for under ~$200 (guessing)

        Car Navigation units are around $120

        And if you game, there's more money.

        It's really not that bad when you factor in everything, despite the mark-up on the manufacturing cost. It does replace a lot of devices, and I use my phone way more than anything else.

        • Smigit on 18/10/2018 - 22:09
          +4

          Problem with trying to justify a $1500 phone by doing a shopping list of features is it doesn't account for the fact that a phone 1/3 or even 1/2 the price can also do those things probably close to if not as good (in some cases). Chances are many of those cheaper non-phone devices offer better experiences and in many case would outlive what one would expect a phone to do.

          Frankly as an iPhone X owner, its because I had the money and liked the device and felt it delivered a good experience. Just like no one needs a Ferrari or could live with a wardrobe of $5 shirts, sometimes purchases aren't all about maximising the dollar spent. While some people struggle with it, I can enjoy a device that gives a good experience even if the value is relatively poor from a dollar to feature ratio compared to what I can possibly get elsewhere. Ultimately when it comes to those $1500+ phones I think the ultimate answer will usually be "because I can" for most cases. I'm not sure phones in this price bracket are good value when there are great ones at much lower price points, but if you're happy to spend twice as more for something thats perceived as 20 or 30% better than the competition then go nuts. No different to most other markets that have diminishing returns on higher end goods be it electronics all the way down to your weekly groceries.

            You don't always carry your DSLR/Camera, GPS unit, Laptop replacement, <insert the device> with you on the street on when you are on holidays. Most people carry their phones with them most times. Those other devices are useless if they aren't on you when you need them (eg. capture the moment on a good camera). I went on holidays for 3 weeks and the only thing I carried was my $1400 Note 8 which did majority of the things I wanted to do including some damn good photo shots along with even working on documents and phone conferences overseas.

            • Smigit on 20/10/2018 - 20:33

              @bchliu: I get that, but sub $1000 phones can do those things too and in many cases close to as well as the $1500-$2000 ones.

              • bchliu on 20/10/2018 - 20:41

                @Smigit: But the Sub $1000 phones are no different to buying an entry level Canon DLSR 3000D vs the top end 1D. Both take pictures, but one just takes it much better. The Huawei is very much the best camera phone on the market right now and it's up to the customers to decide on average quality or the best quality that you can buy in 2018..

      I think it's just not the competition that drives the prices of these gadgets over the roof. Inflation plays a heavy part as well and parts is not getting cheaper anyway. I know labour doesn't cost much especially in China so we can factor that but not as much.

      I even mis-read the title as $151.80, didn't realise it until I saw this comment… my brain just couldn't process a phone that costs three times more than my first car :)

      may be because all in one?
      Decent Camera
      portable gaming device
      portable window 10 that you can connect to monitor; wireless projection
      powerbank wirelessly share your power with other
      3D scanning and 3D face unlock feature
      inscreen fingerprint
      AI translator
      fast charging

      but for $1500 phone, it does not come with headphone jack, how ridiculous.
      it does comes with wireless headphone during preorder i think.
      i wonder if the phone can recharge those wireless headphone.

        The pre-order bonus is the old FreeBuds model without wireless charging. :(

      10 years ago when we all used our phones to only make calls and play Snake (god I love that game), I'd agree with you.

      Today, we basically do everything with our phones except the odd real life connection at home with the people we share a roof with.

      RRP. We don't pay RRP so why are you complaining ;)

      It can be sold?

      A scarf is already $1420, I'll throw in another $100 and get a phone any day. https://au.burberry.com/the-large-classic-cashmere-scarf-wit…

    Hi Op, can you do some deal on Mate 10 pro, they were $670 around last few weeks. Thanks

    anyone knows where I can get my hands on a display set?

  • ChickenAdobo on 18/10/2018 - 15:06

    Biggest omission is the 128 GB storage for this price with Dual Sim capability. My note 9 DUOS model has 512 GB with Dual Sim. I give Huawei prop for the other fantastic hardware features.

    The china version is better, you could choose 8G+128G or 8G+256G which is only available in China mainland

      Australia’s telcos only support 3G and 4G at this stage so 8G won’t be any good.

        the RAM is 8G
        not the network

          Must be the next generation RAM then?

          • Ethandong on 18/10/2018 - 15:28

            @JaxSantiago: no just a bit larger (2G) than 6G
            except china version, all mate 20 pro is just 6G RAM

          One unit of gigabyte is always GB. Never a G on its own. Omitting the B may confuse those that aren’t tech savvy.

        Never heard of 8G network XD
