    Think I've found my next phone, it has many features of the Mate 20/Mate 20 Pro. Love the full screen display and really excited about the slide. I've looked at the Mi Mix 3 although think this has a better cam, battery and build. To be released soon for around 500 euro..

    Key Specs

    Near full screen display
    Under display fingerprint sensor
    Brand New Kirin 980
    6GB/128GB or 8GB/256GB
    MicroSD card slot
    3500Mah Battery(wish it was 4000)
    Expected 1.5 to 2 day battery with the new low power processor
    Triple camera setup


    Magic 2 GSM Arena

    An early review and comparison with the Mate 20 Pro




    Thoughts?

    I love how every year they talk about the new processor being 25% more power efficient or whatever. Never equates to 25% better battery!

    Looks like a nice device. We're so spoiled for choice these days.

    True, if it's anyway better than my LG V20, I'll be happy. Had a mate 8 before that and really miss the near two day battery..

    Check out the Z5 Pro too

    Yeah, saw that but it's not flagship, I'd want a Snapdragon 845 or Kirin 970 at a minimum.

    Update..

    After further reading, only the Chinese version has been announced which means no Google Play by default and no band 20 for LTE.

    Hopefully they'll release a global version..

    tedpan - If you're being more budget conscious I'd recommend Honor 10. I'm getting 2 days battery out of it and has most of the spec mentioned above. Picked mine up for 250 on Adverts, albeit it was a month old. They are approx 350 on eglobal sites and the like. Just an alternative!


    Had a look at the Honor 10, it's a serious option alright! I will wait to see how much the magic is actually sold for once it's released as I like the idea of the Kirin 980 and the slide. I really want something with a huge battery, impressed that you're getting two days from 3400mah. I'll have to watch some more youtube reviews.. :)

    Deleted my post by accident - meant to edit. Half asleep this morning :)

    Yes it's really great and the fast charging is brilliant too, so convenient. Had the standard P20 too and I prefer this.

    Hopefully the slide will be durable and the price will be low! Under 500 and even i'd consider it next year!!



    Edit: The View 10 Model (3750mah battery) is to be dropped in price Black Friday :
