          so does the retail company i work for but when your markup is low like in electronics 3% can destroy the margin on your sale (assuming thats what Amex has tried to negotiate :) ) … our finance just went stuff it its too much hassel to have 1 card we pass on and not the rest…

          • snappy1234 on 25/07/2019 - 10:00

            @scud70: Well often big companies like JBs get kickbacks when they do enough sales…
            Anyway just my view as opposed to others i guess.

            • scud70 on 25/07/2019 - 10:10

              @snappy1234: Trust me from my side of things i totally agree, but i know how difficult American Express can be when negotiating these things with them, you are correct JB and other electrical retailers all work off the kick backs but yeh from cosumer perspective i used to be stupid amex mark up but now i know why .. i just dont use amex in those instances LOL

      • Plutonus on 25/07/2019 - 10:44

        Amex merchant fees have dropped, thus why IKEA, Chemist Warehouse and others have started accepting it.

        It's also why points value has dropped.

        JB is just propping up their margin where they can.

      • November14 on 25/07/2019 - 10:36

        I would say the newest S10 updates keep it on par. I would also say the OIS on S10 makes much difference on videos.

          I like my S10+ for videos, but the Huawei is definitely better in my opinion. Their night time shots, the AI features and everything make all the photos look far better. I've found my S10+ kind of struggles with low light shots with the stock camera, not Gcam by the way.

        • Averell on 25/07/2019 - 11:45

          Do we have this in S10e? I'm considering s10e and Mate20Pro. S10 is well over my budget

            +1

            @Averell: Gcam is a bit fiddly to get to work, I haven't tried it myself but I've seen comparison pictures and I think it performs a lot better than the stock camera, but in regular lighting they are about on par. They both don't compare to the Huawei camera quality those photos are so crispy and clear, their night shots are far better. Both are great cameras but the Huawei is just better in my opinion.

            Gcam is significantly better for the front camera though.

          Huawei and Pixel are top of the tree when it comes to computational photography. if you don't care about Night Mode photography then S10 will be almost on par with the mate 20 pro.

          The only downside of the pro is the front facing camera, pixel is the best for the front/selfie cams.

          Id rate mate 20 pro as the 2nd best over all camera - just behind the p30 pro.

    • jimbler on 25/07/2019 - 08:29

      I bought an S10E about a month ago, and I'm seriously considering throwing it on Ebay and buying this instead. The only thing stopping me is the size of this phone. I was after a smaller phone, that's why I went with the S10E.

      However, I'm left handed and the power button on the S10E is right at top of the phone and it's an absolute PIA because I'm constantly flicking my phones on and off, and I have to grip the phone unnaturally near the top half of the phone to get at it. Also coming from a Nokia 7 Plus with Android One this Bixby crap on the S10E is an absolute joke, and something I'd never use. It's also a complete waste to have a dedicated button for it.

      I just wish the Huawei was smaller. :-(

      • Averell on 25/07/2019 - 11:21

        Isn't the s10e only 2mm smaller?

        • jimbler on 25/07/2019 - 11:46

          Huawei - 157.8 x 72.3 x 8.6 mm

          S10E - 142.2 x 69.9 x 7.9 mm

          • Averell on 25/07/2019 - 12:43

            @jimbler: Oh, ok. When comparing phone size, I usually look at the width only, as that decides whether it can fit in my hand, wheher I can use it with one hand.

      • Jasonissm on 25/07/2019 - 11:42

        You can remap the button, I didn't mind it after I set mine to a dedicated Camera button for my World Star shots.

      • striker5950 on 25/07/2019 - 14:43

        • jimbler on 25/07/2019 - 15:02

          Battery isn't great either on the s10e. I struggle to last the day with heavy use. That's the other downside, but I love the size, the screen and it's lightning quick. I'll probably hold on to it, but give it 10 mins and I may change my mind again. :-)

        A simple google search will show that the ban was reversed a few weeks ago! The US has lifted the ban on google and other US firms doing business with Huawei. There have been numerous new articles and tech articles about this and couple of discussions here on the forum!

        Because this question is asked over and over again everytime a Huawei deal is raised. If they want to know the answer then ask Mr Google. Frankly it probably depends on whether Trump was happy with his breakfast this morning or got a dud fortune cookie.

        The whole thing was a bunch of hot air. China as an economic super power and "threat" to the US was put into motion by Kissinger and Co. decades ago. Billions upon billions of dollars have been pouring into China for years.

        Huawei wasn't doing anything that Google, Samsung, etc and our own government aren't doing - plundering all of your personal data.

        The whole "it's a risk to mah national security" is like I said, hot air. Personally I would be way more concerned about the state you're under the jurisdiction of harvesting all this shit than a foreign one.

        Be prepared to hear more about how scary China is when the US finally manufacture a way into Iran.

    • diamondd on 25/07/2019 - 10:06

      just remember that the supposed reason for the ban is that they could or would pump user's data directly into the Chinese government, and then go have a look at our own charming government's recent "Telecommunications and Other Legislation Amendment (Assistance and Access) Bill 2018" and try to play spot the difference.

    Brilliant battery life
    Upgradeable to Android Q in the future
    Fantastic camera within the camera app. Stabilised video & amazing photos.

    Shit camera on other app, ie Whatsapp and Instagram
    Like, really bad. Video is super shaky as EIS is not on on other apps.
    Calendar does not sync well with exchange. Can't change from default Huawei calendar.

    My 2c, I would have gotten S10/S10+ but needed the dual SIM and long battery life.

    • johnthepg on 25/07/2019 - 13:56

      Do you think the camera phone on this or the s10+ is better? specifically night shots and night selfie mode.

      • Jasonissm on 25/07/2019 - 18:02

        I have S10+ and I think the Huawei is better because of the night shots, in good lighting they are about on par, but if camera is the most important I'd go for the Mate 20 Pro. Both are great phones.

    • DrABCDEFG on 25/07/2019 - 11:38

    • nickj on 25/07/2019 - 12:22

      This is an instance where it would have been very handy to have used a price protection credit card. Useful for buying TVs, mobiles, whitegoods, bedding, luggage, basically any non-grocery physical product, where you can track the price online (e.g. using pricehipster, camelcamelcamel, visualping, etc).

      Price Protection is where they refund you the difference (as a credit on your credit card) if the price drops, and you bought it on that card.

      Coles MasterCard used to offer this (2 years price protection at same Australian retailer) but is now grandfathered for existing users, and 28 Degrees still offer this (1 year price protection against any Australian retailer). Both are opt-in, and there's a charge of 1% of the statement balance for this (technically it's an insurance) which you can avoid by paying the balance before the statement is issued.

      You can make multiple claims per item as the price progressively drops (and you should claim as soon as you can, especially on the Coles MasterCard, in case the retailer stops selling it). Limits for Coles MC/28 Degrees are: Min claim amount is $10/$0, and max per item is $600/$1000, and max per year is $2000/$5000.

      The Coles MasterCard and 28 degrees both includes Merchandise Protection, which is 6 months/12 month respectively of insurance if the item is lost/stolen/damaged, with no excess. [Cracked screen from accidentally dropping a new phone has to be top of the list of likely events]

      Personally, I have a very very strong preference to buy mobile phones or any electronics on this, precisely because they depreciate in value so rapidly, and for the damage insurance.

      • orange123 on 25/07/2019 - 12:47

        Do you know if you use the 28 Degrees Master Card through PayPal if price protection is available? Can you claim price drops with eBay and discount codes? Thanks

        • DrABCDEFG on 25/07/2019 - 13:25

          yes it works with paypal.

        • nickj on 25/07/2019 - 15:15

        • nickj on 25/07/2019 - 15:13

          Extra cost, it's an additional 1% on the outstanding balance each statement.

      • EnergicAU on 25/07/2019 - 16:03

        • nickj on 25/07/2019 - 17:44

          You're probably thinking of Guaranteed Pricing. It's much weaker than Price Protection. Summary here: https://www.finder.com.au/credit-cards-with-a-guaranteed-pri… . Basically under Guaranteed Pricing it needs to be physical printed catalog, very limited time frame (e.g. 21 days), excludes internet purchases, etc etc. Lots of limitations, which together make Guaranteed Pricing kind of useless.

          These 2 tend to get conflated, but if you get it included for free/complimentary assume it's very probably Guaranteed Pricing, and if you have to pay extra for it (e.g. 1% of balance) it's very probably price protection. ; Price protection is what you want, it's an much stronger product. I'm only aware of 2 cards that have it (28 Degrees and Coles MasterCard), and for both you have opt-in, and pay extra for it. 28 Degrees is probably the stronger of the 2, as it covers any retailer, and has higher limits. The problem I have run into with Coles MasterCard is that sometimes the retailer stops selling the item well before 2 years is up, which means you can no longer claim. But if they do keep selling it, and remain price competitive, then the 2 year period for that is obviously preferable.

      The world is full of slave labour places. However, I’m sure you fully research every purchase you make to ensure beginning to end is fully ethically handled. I’m not happy with China, either but, as a country, we deal with murderous regimes all the time. There are very few “good guys” anymore and we certainly aren’t in the mix.

          Not rolling my eyes, just pointing out that it is very difficult to actually buy ethically. You certainly wouldn't eat much chocolate or drink coffee if you were worried about the ethics. I try to be as ethical as I can, particularly for animal cruelty. I'm not a vegetarian but I do buy free range eggs, chicken, bacon etc and meat is usually a small part of the meal. However, it depends on the ethics of the people providing as to whether they are reporting accurately. If you can name me a phone manufacturer that is not using factories that are dodgy then happy to look at the phone, however, none of them are great. Personally I use iPhones but they've had their issues as well.
