Should I buy it?

I can decide buying the S10 (normal one) or the Huawei P30 Pro.
What are your experiences with the phone so far?
Would you buy it again or should I go for the P30 Pro?

Hey mate. I was also struggling about Huawei P30 Pro. I have a S10 exynos, and my main problems with it are: battery, and camera. I was thinking a lot about exchanging my phone for P30 Pro, because of that camera and battery. But I made small research about P30 Pro, and... it's not a perfect phone. There is no perfect phone.
Check out forum about P30 Pro on XDA, and there are people complaining about different things of Huawei.
Those two last post from leoni1980 and Ady1976 kinda opened my eyes. They made really good points.

I think I'll stick to my S10, and I hope Samsung will improve night mode and the new charging speed will make the experience with Samsung better.
What are my favourite things about S10? First of all, the screen. It's great, the highest resolution is nice, but my top feaute is the reduction of blue light. Even youtubers are starting to inform about blue light and what harm can it do. Also the stereo speakers are really nice. I enjoy using OneUI with gestures and onehand+ app. No buttons on my screen, but also no one besides me know how to operate my phone Inscreen fingerprint is not perfect, but i like its position and that it can be used with wet fingers. Though my isn't always working. Huawei's interface isn't that nice from what I read.
Overall, it's a good phone, but not perfect. On some aspects Samsung didn't do their best, especially with the whole Exynos vs Snapdragon topic. And I think I'll stick with my S10, instead of trying to change it for P30 Pro.

Do not know about the P30 but I have had my S10 Snapdragon for about a month and a half. I also have the Pixel 2...
Love the S10 ..the Pixel 3a is due out anytime now and the 4 is due out in October and both will have a better camera vs the S10.
It really depends on what is important to you?
Camera? Always having the most updated software? UI ? Cost?
Do you use the Gear S3 watch? Etc, etc...
Sammy offers a nice trade in deal if you have the current S8 or S9 as well.

thanks for your replies guys .. I bought it yesterday for very cheap and I´m in love with it

Congrats and welcome aboard!

Looking forward to this release.

Looks like this device is packing a punch, especially now snapdragon will finally hit the uk shores. Any ideas why to look at the s20 Ultra over this device?

Is it going up be possible to unlock the bootloader and install chain recovery and ROM in the Snapdragon version of this phone? From a quick look at the S20 section of this forum only the Exynos versions get custom development.

Nope, none. On a value-for-dollar basis, I think this phone trumps the Ultra hands down. In fact, I just cancelled an order for a Note20 Ultra, as I've realized that I don't need, and likely won't ever use, all those premium features that we pay so much for - this phone looks just right for the price to me.

Mine is shipped and I will get it tomorrow!

Not gonna lie, I'm now having second thoughts as a result of the optical fingerprint sensor and camera performance - not deal breakers for sure at this price point, but security and camera performance are top of my list of priorities, so those give me pause.

Got mine a bit ago. To be honest, i can't tell the difference between the S20 FE and the Note 20 I have been using while waiting for it to arrive.
The S20 FE doesn't have the video enhancer setting, which may or may not make a difference. But also I noted in a super quick camera test, that the Note 20 looked better at 3x zoom than the S20 FE did. I would have thought the S20 would have looked better there.

Fingerprint sensor works fine. It's as fast as the sensor on my Huawei P30 Pro and so far hasn't failed to read my fingerprint.

Would you be able to check if the 40W SuperCharger from your P30 Pro works with the S20 FE at 25W?
I'm upgrading from a broken P30 and it would be cool if I didn't have to buy the 25W Samsung charger.
Cheers

My S20 FE 5G is coming today, really excited :victory:

It doesn't work unfortunately. Doesn't seem to be charging any faster than the standard charger.

Question Do you think the S21 Ultra worth upgrading to?

Good afternoon Y'all.
I was just posting here because I am legitimately curious what you all's thoughts are on the Galaxy S21 series based on the leaks that have been out there.
Personally, coming from an S20+, I do not think any of the S21 models are worth upgrading to unless you have a Galaxy S10/Note 10 series or older. I actually ended up upgrading to a Note 20 Ultra last night instead; I was able to snag one brand new for 950 out the door from Best Buy. Main reasoning was I could have the adaptive refresh rate display (Love me some 120hz displays + Battery life), larger screen, the s-pen, Snapdragon 865+, expandable storage, and the fact that I just have loved the Note series for god knows how long.
Overall, I feel there are not enough improvements with the S21 leaks I have seen to justify spending 1200+ on an S21+, S21 Ultra.
What are you all's thoughts? Will you be upgrading from your current device? What are you using for your daily driver?

Personally I think that the SGS21 Ultra is not worth upgrading too. If you are coming from the previous generation of SGS or Note device. I am currently using a Note 8 N950N and I also have a Note 9 N960N as a backup device. Just incase my N950N dies. I don't think I will be upgrading to a newer Galaxy device anytime soon. As both my N950N and N960N are pretty good devices even by current standards.

Comparing samsung s20 fe (snapdragon) to Huawei p30 pro (2020)

Hi, I am new here and need some advise.
I am choosing between Huawei P30 PRO (2020) and Samsung s20 FE (snapdragon). Key features of importance are camera, battery life, screen quality and performance. I am really having troubles with choosing between the two handsets.
Would someone share their opinion, especially if the choice was similar to mine or based on your experience of a specific handset over time.
Many thanks

I think Huawei is finished giving android updates to it's phones, heard they're moving to their in-house OS that has android app compatibility. at the moment you can side load play store (can't remember if the P30 was before the ban and ships with PS), in the future who knows. I'd take a look at each phones sub reddit before spending any cash. neither is perfect. some have been unlucky with screen issues, many have had none at all on their FE. I have them myself.
if you plan to keep the phone a while that should be a factor in your choice. very slow custom rom and mod development on the FE, Huawei is bound to be livelier.

I have both these phones and they are both great. I got the P30 Pro New Edition when it came out last year. It's still fast and has great battery life and the cameras are very good. Huawei are still updating it with security patches (quarterly I think) and it got EMUI 11 about 3 months ago. But EMUI 11 is still based on Android 10 and don't expect the Android version to be updated even if the EMUI version does. Also coming later in the year is the update to Harmony OS which may (or maybe not) remove all Play Store access. Personally I'm looking forward to Harmony OS as it will be nice to be running something different and I also own the...
S20 FE 5G. This is also a good device with decent cameras and battery life. It feels less premium in the hand compared to the P30 Pro but that's because it is a less premium device! It has a plastic back and a flat screen compared to glass back and curved screen on the P30 Pro - some may well prefer both of these differences on the S20FE. Updates are more frequent on the Samsung - monthly - and they have committed to it being updated for another couple of Android versions. Personally I would lean towards the S20FE because of the long term support on both devices, the P30 Pro may well be OK but we can't be sure what will happen in a couple of years.
I own both because I use the desktop mode on both phones and, if your bothered, DeX (Samsung) is slightly better than Easy Projection (Huawei) but both do a decent job if you are interested.

Interested in purchasing S20 FE, but I have my doubts

Hi community,
I am interested in buying this phone, but I put it next to A72 and tested the camera. I have visited numerous shops to test these out.
These are the main things that bother me:
I found that the screen on the S20 FE is more on the blue-ish side and more dimmer than the A72. Basically, the white on the S20 FE are cold.
The main camera of S20 FE is not as sharp as the A72. I think the S20 FE camera is similar in result as the S21+, but I prefer the result of A72 put side by side.
What do you think?

It depends what matters most to you. Here's a comparison:
Compare Samsung Galaxy A72 vs. Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 5G - GSMArena.com
www.gsmarena.com
The S20 will be a little bit faster, the camera experiences will be similar, and the A72 will have better battery.
If you're on a budget, get whichever is less money because both are really solid at the end of the day. If you don't care about price, the S20 FE is better all around.

avoid the version that has the Exynos SoC if you do decide to get the FE

I do agree that the FE is faster etc, but do you notice the same difference in panels?

Roughly they are the same price, but I may prefer the A72 based on the display panel... From my view the 4-5 FE I tried had the same "dull" panel. Possibly they changed the manufacturer or have a newer display?

They are "similar" phones but I would say if you prefer the A72 because of the panel then get that one - of course when you have the device you won't be holding them side by side and any difference is quickly forgotten. The A72 has a 3.5mm headphone post which is great. However the reason I picked up a S20 FE 5g was wireless charging but mainly DeX - using desktop modes is what I like to do, but if you don't care about wireless charging or DeX then the A72 certainly is an option.
