Il be interested to hear thoughts of the p20 compared to the pixel 2
Thoughts: P2 feels tiny now, unsurprisingly!
Hardware navigation - brilliant. Game changer for me since I stuck with it.
Camera - mostly incredible, although it does take a little taming at times, even with AI (always) switched off. Walked home from the local watering hole at the weekend, and took a couple of photos while wondering through a copse at the top of the road, and the night shots pulled out detail I couldn't even see with my own eyes. On the flip side, I took a photo of Daddy whiskycycle last week on his birthday, and it turned his hair to straw in 10mp mode... I'd say it's partially an exercise in frustration, but is for the most part fantastic.
OS - I was used to it on the Honor 8 and P10 so there's nothing shocking so far really, and this version's definitely calmer than those were. Running Nova Launcher Pro now anyway, but the EMUI bits that poke through are fine really.
Speed - it's bloody quick. Feels a little nippier than the P2, but that's likely Nova settings I've got running.
Battery - regularly getting around 50% at the end of each day so far with normal use.
Design - love it, but it's a fingerprint magnet. Whacked on a Spigen tempered glass screen protector and one of their Ultra Hybrid cases, so hopefully no glass > floor interface... I did manage to nab a couple of the official Huawei cases, the smart one and the car one, and although they're good, they're too exposed top/bottom and around the buttons.
Very happy with it so far... whether or not that lasts is up to the phone and also my tech magpie tendencies.
