Excatly in the same boat. Leaving ios. So far enjoying it. Not played around too much yet with the camera. Is it and can we installed Google camera software on a p30?

Updated today. What the heck have they done to the ui. It all seems very clunky. I can't read my numbers when telephoning someone.
EMUI 10.0.0
Anyone else in the same boat?

I had the 10 update last week, defaulted so much back to standard that i'd been tweaking over last few months. Icons and everything seem every dumbed down now too.

Can you get a SuperCharge compatible mains charger that has two USB ports on it? One SuperCharge port and a "normal" USB-A would be ideal but I've not found one. If a charger doesn't support SC, what's the next best thing to look for?

I love it. I came from an iPhone to the P30 Pro and the transition across from iOS to Android was tricky to begin with but its second nature now. The handset itself is excellent. Camera still amazes me sometimes when I take a shot then go and look at it in the Gallery. Recently updated mine to EMUI 10 and I like it although it has shifted a few familiar things about here and there and caused a strange bug when WhatsApp crashes if you try and add an image to a post.
Good to know. Some cracking deals about at the moment.
100gb data. £29 upfront, £30 per month.
£120 cashback from Huawei & £65 Quidco.
I've watched reviews of almost every phone about at the moment. The p30 pro is the one which seems to get my attention the most. The p30 standard I prefer the look of due to no curved screen but the pro variant seems like a worthy upgrade.

I've had a P30 Pro now for about three weeks. Took a similar offer to the one posted above - I went with MobilePhonesDirect...
£0 upfront, £43 month on o2 - 90GB data, 24 months (it's a 30GB tarrif with a 60GB top-up till end of the 24 months, so something to watch at the end of the contract)
£44 cashback from TCB (tracked & pending)
£120 cashback from Huawei - submitted on Saturday, initial approval confirmed, so waiting on bank transfer
£396 cashback from MPD over contract length - need to claim on certain months, so already added to my calendar
So after all that, works out £19.60 a month which seemed to be a very good price from my searching. I've come from a Huawei Y6 so used to an old version of EMUI. Looking forward to a few days in Northumbria next week to use the camera properly. A really good camera was one of the key buying points for me as it means I won't need to take my work iPhone out just to get a good picture. Battery life, screen and overall performance are great - very happy with my choice so far.

How you getting on with it after a few months usage? It's still on my radar along with a few other phones. I'm not sure on the rounded screen edges though.
Soldato
I'm very pleased with it. Battery rarely drops below 50% each day for my usage (having been charged overnight) and the camera is worlds apart from the Y6.
Huawei cashback came through at the start of April, just waiting for TCB to be claimable.
ahh nice,
im really struggling too decide what too get. every day i change my mind. still rocking my pixel 2 xl and while its still working its showing its age. the god thing about it though is its holding up well to damage. my phones are a tool so i dont baby them at all. its beat up around the edges but the screen is doing really well.
having an edge on the phone has been useful as i feel the screen would have smashed otherwise.
the p30 pro looks so good and seems to have all the features id need. its good value too. £30 per month with 100gb data
essentially making the phone £15 per month (£360) as i pay £15 a month for 100gb data as it is now.

What about a OnePlus 7T? It's an excellent upgrade from your Pixel and can be picked up reasonably cheap if you shop around.
Nothing against it apart from the horrific costs on contract. The p30 pro for effectively £15 a month is hard not to be sniffed at, if I could get the 7t on the same tarrif I would have jumped. Was hoping the 8 release might have made the 7t cheaper but it doesn't appear to have.
Soldato
Yeah that's the kicker, because of exclusivity the contract costs of the OnePlus phones are scandalous. Only way is to purchase outright and go SIMO.
