Hi
I have Mate 9 and love everything about it except for:
camera - low light quality is awful
software home/back/recents button
I'm hoping to upgrade to Mate 10 and hoping it'll sort some of the issues.
1) I'm LOVING the physical home button but I can't understand where the back and refresh buttons are. I've looked at youtube vids and sometimes you see the annoying software buttons there. Why? Does it have touch sensors to the right and left of the home button? Reviews don't mention this.
2) With a larger aperture it should do better low light. Does it?
3) Is the battery going to take a hit compared to my brilliant Mate 9 because of the better screen?
4) Can it only connect to one BT device? (i.e. it's only BT 4.2 not 5 sadly)
5) Is there a ROM that works in English with Google Play tore in teh UK? Wondamobile say they can put on the L29C636 ROM. Is this ok?

The fp can be used as navigation controls.

Worst case you can expect is the battery being as good as the Mate 9. However as per initial reviews it is slightly better and should get better with rom updates. As per Huawei's "official" claims and their own tests, the battery life should be 30% better and so thats the most best you can expect from it.

I guess it can connect to two as the Huawei desktop feature can connect to a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard at same time.

Hi Mate,
I've a Mate 9 pro. It's an awesome piece of kit.(with an Asian C636 Rom)
If the Mate 10 is the same as the Mate 9 Pro - Back and refresh are left and right of the physical button and they are touch sensors. They can be switched as well.
On your second point - have Wondamobile said they'll do this for you? Apparently rebranding is a bit of a headache, but achievable.
My understanding is that there is no UK Rom, there's a European Rom, but the European models only have one sim. So support for second sim won't exist. The Asian model - C636 is pretty much an equivalent of the European Rom, but supports dual sim(and works in the UK). Funky Huawei support method.
Yes can you customise the gestures? To me it makes more sense to swipe to go back, press and hold to get task view and tap to go home.
From what I've read you tap to go back, swipe for recent apps, and hold to go home.
I really like that you can ditch the onscreen buttons for fingerprint sensor gestures.
Thanks guys this sounds awesome.
Almost on verge of buying one but concerned that it doesn't have BT 5 as I need my car and watch to connect for calls. Unless anyone knows of an app that can automatically switch BT to car when I'm in the car and back to watch when I leave?

My Mate pro 9 connects to my Huawei Watch, my bluetooth tracker and my car all at the same time. I can't imagine this device can only connect to one thing at a time?

Yes but you can only do calls on one of those things.
I can normally do calls via my watch (bluetooth) or via the car, but not both.

By the way the Front finger print sensor is not a physical button, it is just a touch screen sensor and there is no left and right capacitive button beside the FP sensor, it just have gesture command.
Wearing my leather gloves out here in London. Sadly you can't use the fingerprint button to navigate. Thank God for the floating Navigation dock nodule. As I have the navigation bar hidden, I have added the navigation dock to my quick tiles so I can easily enable it when out and about like I am now. Problem solved.

Thanks, this saved me for buying the Mate 10. I don't care about the Mate 10 Pro or any bezel-less 18:9 aspect ratio phones. I just wish there was a 16:9 rootable flagship smartphone with headphone jack and capacitive or, even better, physical buttons :crying:
Does anyone know if there is there such a beast available ?

Hello Guys,
I’m considering buying Huawei 10 (NOT Pro), but since it’s not officially available in the countries I spend most my time in (Poland and UK), I’ll have to get it from Chinese shop. Having said that, I have my concerns and I’d be glad if you could walk me through them. My apologies if some on those questions were already answered, but some of the feedback I’ve gather from this forum come from the “early days” of this phone and I don’t know if they are still valid. Let’s get to it:
1) Is the system in Polish language? It might be under “(…) and many more languages” but I’d like to know
2) I should be looking for version L29, correct? Are those “international” versions on sites like https://www.giztop.com/huawei-mate-10.html really international, or just Chinese ones with switched software?
3) My current phone is Oneplus 3 – and I admire the simplicity of almost-stock Android. How much off a detour is MIUI in comparison? Will I have to deal with a lot of bloating in the system?
4) Since there won’t be a version for “big” markets like US and UK – could there be any issues with updates? Will Huawei abandon the support for international version anytime soon – speculatively speaking? Or is it possible for them to introduce this phone to US/UK/PL, but later?
5) I’d be taking 4gb 64gb version, but I’ve been using 6gb phone for a while now – will this “downgrade” be visible in daily use?
6) I’ve seen some complaints about the camera. I understand it’s not “perfect”, but right now I’m using oneplus3+g.cam port from Pixel 2 – so I should still experience a bump in quality, right?
7) I want to buy it from this site https://www.giztop.com/huawei-mate-10.html. Is there any reason I should pick a different one/wait?
Thank you for all your future answers, and apologies for a longer post.
Cheers!
I'm in a similar situation. I'm planning to buy from eBay the international version. The sellers there are based in either France or Ireland, they say they give you a year warranty but crucially you have PayPal protection.
I've seen other sites where a minority of phones never turn up or are broken and it's incredibly hard to get the money back.

1 - I don't know for sure but it should be there !
2 - Yes L29 is the version you should look for ! You can get one from here https://www.ebay.fr/itm/NEUF-HUAWEI...234857?hash=item4b2e0e4729:g:41oAAOSwytJaE9rW that's where I got one for my uncle
3 - EMUI is very customised version of Android but with big possibilities for themes so you should be able to make it look as you want
4 - We can't be sure of anything in that domain ^^ I just left Samsung because of giving update slowly... But for sure as the flagship of the brand it should get update faster than others
5 - It'll not. Some may not agree with me but 4gb of Ram is largely enough today !
6 - As I'm not a professionnal I could not tell ^^ but for sure Mate 10 camera is amazing and will only improve with software update improving AI
7 - As I answered on 2, you can get it from dwi on ebay, I've took 2 phones from them (S7 dual sim and Huawei Mate 10)
I live in the UK and I bought the L29 version, it works fine and you can select the system language when you setup the phone. The only issue I found is HiCloud wouldn't work but I rebranded to the L09 version and everything works
To answer your point 6
I'm also using a ported version of the camera app on my previous phone which is a Xiaomi Mix and the phone is notorious for its very poor camera lens.
It surprises me totally what software can achieve where the hardware fails at.
Even on the ****ty camera, the software managed to capture IMO equal or more details as compared to M10 on the pro mode.
So at the end of the day. Your OP3 having a better lens than the Xiaomi Mix should experience probably equal or maybe seeing a 5 to 10% bump in details.
If there's ever a chance that M10 could have the ported camera from Pixel on our phone I'll definitely be a very happy man.
Hi jay. I too live in the UK and planning the buy the L29. Was the re branding just to get the hicloud? Or were there other features?
Thanks

Thanks for the link. I'm not referring to the stock Google camera but the exact one on the pixel phone.
https://www.google.com.sg/amp/s/www...gle-camera-hdr-customization-raw-support/amp/
It is the HDR+ that makes all the difference but sadly Google only enables it for the Pixel phone.
Hey sorry to jack this thread but whats the drawbacks of the Chinese version, bloat ware?? And wouldn't it get updates faster?
Also, wouldn't it be a better idea to buy the AL00.. 128 GB, 6 GB RAM Chinese Mate 10 version if you wanted to keep that 6GB of ram?
I just killed my HTC 10 with water so I'm thinking upgrading to the 6GB ram version would be a better move coming from 4GB. I just wish it wasn't so expensive lol 4GB international version is about $800 CND on ebay..

so which Huawei Mate 10 Pro 128gb version are you supposed to buy? there's L29 on ebay, L09 on clove uk website. handtec uk HM10P128TG, what's the difference between all of these? dual sim on amazon uk 128gb. L29 on wondamobile international version.
eglobal uk CN version. eglobal prices vary for 128gb version, why is that?
sorry so many questions!
essentially i'd want to root and custom rom, is there really dev support for this, I'm coming from samsung and devs have been a lot etc. im over samsung note series lol...
thx

Well that's the Mate 10 Pro, not the Mate 10, the Pro does not have an SD card slot. I don't know what the CN is but the L29 I had was for the Singapore market, so Huawei Cloud didn't work until I flashed the L09 Firmware

think I can get away with no SD card
so how come they list an item with no model number?
also can you change the soft key buttons placements? move them into opposite spots etc lol?

edit: a word
I'm really thorn in between these 2 choices... Currently the Mipad 4 LTE variant is still not available in China... Considering if should wait for it or go with the Mediapad M5... Liked the dual speakers and the higher resolution on the M5 but the Mipad 4 price is hard to beat... Any advise ??
I end up cancel the LTE MIPAD 4 order (i guess no stock available) and buy M5. The price differrent is not alot for me as i order Mipad 4 from China compare to now buying M5 from my country), the different is approx 50-70 usd.
If you can live with the bluetooth wifi issue, M5 better choice which has better dual speakers in more ideal position (for landscape mode and sound quality), fingerprint reader. Mipad4 has slightly bigger battery, 3.5mm jack and more portable in term of the size.
Kirin960 vs SN660 ( no sure about this, antutu result show kirin960 slightly better)
OS wise no really sure, never use xiaomi and huawei, i hope both still can receive monthly security update at least for another 2 years.
Both are good tablets for me, i hope the bluetooth wifi issue wont bother me lot since i plan to use LTE network most of the time.
im not sure which one is better for me as well. I do not like the huawei android version and i do not like the mi pad 4 android version. So for custom roms i think the mi pad 4 will be better than the mediapad m5. BUT the mediapad m5 already got an unofficial version of lineageos which surprises me a lot. Not sure how many developers will grab the mi pad 4... So i might will wait some more time before i make my decision...
I will mainly use it for PDF reading and i am not sure if they are good for it, both have an aspect ratio of 16:10, i think. Not perfect for reading...
Not sure if the higher resolution of the m5 will have an impact on how the papers will look like. All the reviews, especially the chinese / asian ones, focus on gaming. It looks like all of them use it just for gaming...
@dopefish1337 I bought the m5 8.4 some weeks ago and I am quite happy with it. Does the Mi Pad4 come with Project Treble enabled? If not there is no doubt what device to choose otherwise the Mi Pad costs less but also provides less ...

So that's the reason I will not buy MediaPad M5.
Thank you so much for your quick replies.
Well if that's a bummer for you then find another. Samsung is mostlikely great and twice the price. Xiaomi may have the same issue.
Anyhow, the MediaPad is a really great and very affordable tablet. I like it.
People need to understand that the wifi/Bluetooth issue has been solved just use 5ghz frequency on wifi and they both work fine simultaneously!

Maybe people don't have 5ghz router. It is still a shame for Huawei Tablets to have such an issue. It is not a super cheap 100$ Chinese tablet.
I have no problems with bluetooth and wifi on 2.4ghz
Had the Mi Pad 4 for 2 days and got rid of it immediately. I would like to have the option to make calls. No luck with the Mi Pad. The face unlock is godawful on the Mi Pad 4. There is no fingerprint sensor, so you constantly need to swipe your unlock code. The Gboard keyboard does not support popup keys and the tablet does not vibrate. So there is no visual or haptic feedback to typing, really weird. It is fast, memory ist double compared to the Mediapad, the screen is ok, sound is ok but overall, the Mediapad beats the Mi Pad in every category. For media consumption you also have to live with no HD on Netflix and Prime. It's worth to shell out the extra Dollars for the much better overall experience.
Just buy a xiaomi mi router 3 (100m wam) (20$) or 4 (1gb wam) (30$) and connect it with 5ghz, seriously, 2,4ghz is kinda pointless at this point
Hello all.
First time poster and have already searched for my answer without luck.
I have the Huawei P20 mate pro in UK on EE (and very happy with it) however looking to purchase a smart watch.
EE have an offer for a 4g Galaxy Watch. I have been after a good smart watch for some time.
I have seen online that there maybe compatibility issues with the mate 20 pro.
On the EE website it says the watch is only for use with the Samsung galaxy phone.
I've looked everywhere for some advice without any luck.
Can anyone give me some advice?
Cheers
I use a gear s3 and have not had any issues
I'm using the Galaxy watch without issue.

Ah ok. Is that with the p20 mate pro?
Also do you have the 4g version so you don't need to carry your phone around?

I'm using is with mate 20 pro and i have wifi version.
I'm using the 42mm Galaxy watch without issue, too. Wifi only.
Apart from no notifications of whatsapp incoming calls...
And no heart rate alarms (like apple watch)
Thanks for the feedback guys.
I wondr why ee say its only compatible with samsung phones
I use and recommend the Huawei Watch GT (or the new GT Active) which runs a dedicated OS so the battery lasts 2 weeks!!
Fit options are complete, and app notifications can be sent to the watch.
Moreover, if you don't wear the watch on your wrist, it automatically enters in a battery save mode!
Only watchfaces at the moment are only few, but Huawei has announced to release a custom watchface creation app in the future.

I work for ee sales so feel free to get in touch if you need help.
The watch will work on the mate 20 pro or any other android device,but will only work on certain Samsung models for the 4g aspect. Otherwise it will only connect via WiFi and Bluetooth
Hope that helps

That's really helpful thank you. Makes sense.
Need to decide whether or not to buy now.
I have just switched from the P20 Pro to the Mate 20 Pro, Galaxy watch working flawlessly with it. Just ensure you exclude the Galaxy wear app and plugin from Battery Optimization on the phone for a reliable connection.

Hi mate, does that mean that you don't get any notification on the watch from WhatsApp?

I have UK dual sim unlocked handset and have moved from my note 10 5g due to the zoom and better camera (or I hope)
I miss my always on display is there any such thing on the oppo 10 x I cant find it in the settings
Also is there any edge lighting system for notifications which I had on the note 10 plus
Thanks
Unfortunately, you must wait 'till next Android release (10), Which planned on december 20-26
Noticed oppo are not as quick as Samsung for updates I had November update on 4th November my 10 x zoom only has October update
Love camera though
Ive got feeling like oppo phones is like a third hand for the company. First hand is OnePlus - support is much better instead of oppo. For O+7 you can get CustomRoms etc bit for reno nothing...

The 10x zoom does have always on display.
If you go to settings - display & brightness - screen off clock and then turn this on. You can also set the hours it is actually on.
