It felt normal from day 1, my s8+ feels like a toy. No issues with any front pockets or in my hand.
The flat edges are so nice to use compared to the Samsung curved edges.
Originally the volume buttons on the right felt funny but it feels good now.
Only other issue is the step counter, its way off and needs fixing.

Does audio quality like the AKG earphone of s8 plus ?
Does photos look like oi... moreI just did a side by side. The speaker quality and volume is streets ahead on the 20 X. Using older Samsung headphones the 20 X also sounded better, the S8+ sounded very echoey and didn't bring out higher frequencies as well. I'm struggling to use the S8+ with a cracked screen sorry.
No, the photos are a bit better than the S8+. The portrait ones probably aren't as good in some light as the white balance is whiter and people don't look as tanned. In reality it is probably more realistic.
To be honest it is a real struggle to pick the slightest difference in screen resolution. Maybe on a website with fine text you'd notice it. 95% of users wouldn't be able to tell any difference.

Kundrit, 15 Feb 2019IPhone XS Max is still more prestigioos to Huawei 20X Maxare you not bored with the same icons and software year after year with the Iphone..
If yes call MATE 20 X and rejoice, great joy or delight with Mate 20 x
I was worried while ordering due to the size. But let me tell you the phone is fabulous and no regrets at all. Its a narrow device and fits in the front pocket.
Phone build is premium and eye catching. The device is so thin for that size.
screen colors and the resolution is brilliant.
Battery timing 2 days.
i enjoy the split screen mode on 7.2 inch screen.
Best value for money, $680 in UAE.
Cons:
3.5 jack should have been at the bottom.
I cant shift to a smaller screen now :)
Can this phone use Emui desktop mode? I saw a video on YouTube showing Mate 20 x using Emui Desktop but there is no information about it.

The camera is great but portrait white balance seems too white.
3.5mm jack at the top bugs me but you get used to it.
Aside from that it has been awesome.
I'm now only charging every second night with moderate use.
The size/weight doesn't bother me at all, either in my pocket or hand.
Not having the rounded screen edge is awesome, feels a lot stronger and is better to use.
1080P screen simply isn't an issue, colours and resolution are great.
Face ID and fingerprint scan are lightning quick (turn off the swipe up to access option).
The back has a touch more grip and and certainly doesn't scratch as easily as the Samsung black glass.
There are a few less options in some apps and settings but its pretty good.
The wide angle and 5x zoom are really useful.
I don't think there is a large phone that comes close to the Mate 20 X.
The price is good so i'd go for it :-)
Excellent Review. I like how you put it in your pocket and sat down...always a challenge with larger phones.

If the history ends today, Huawei Mate 20X is the greatest smartphone ever made, period.

Huawei Mate20X is not intended for users who have been living contently within the common idiom of a smartphone as envisioned by Steve Jobs in 2007. If you compare Mate20X with any other "conventional" smartphone, and feel the need to ponder whether it is too heavy, too big, with or without MicroSD support, etc, it is most likely not for you, because your perception of a smartphone is simply too "one among a billion" to truly appreciate what Mate20X has to offer.
With Samsung Note 9, you will be constantly reminded that you are using something with all the space limitations of a phone, regardless what you are actually doing at the time.
With Mate20X, you will be reminded that you are with a phone only when you are actually making a phone call, and then you realize this is indeed a smartphone: compact, light-weight, and pocketable.
A few words about day-to-day experience with Mate20X:
1) When you watch a movie with cinema-wide aspect ratio, such as "The Age of Innocence"(1993, Martin Scorsese), the image size is larger than that on a typical 8" tablet (Samsung Tab 2S 8"). When you watch a movie with 4:3 aspect ratio, such as "An Autumn Afternoon" (1962, Yasujiro Ozu), the image size is comparable to a typical 6.5" tablet.
2) Writing on Mate20X using M-pen (a normal-sized pen) is more comfortable than writing on Samsung Note 9 using a toy-sized S-pen.
