              "Unfortunately, volume was only average", my... problem is that volume is almost always too loud even on the lowest volume level, especially in a quiet environment!

                  Only two questions. Does it support wireless charging and the camera quality it is better than P20 Pro?

                    qqq, 03 Nov 2018Does this device have notification led? Yes, there is a small led light inside the notch.

                      To fix the standby battery drain, go to Settings>battery>app launch>untick manage app automatically.

                            Everytime I look at a review of a Huawei phone it reminds me how bad Huawei is at UI design. Color palette, homescreen, icons, toggles, grid, etc... everything looks so dated it hurts. Like using Android Gingerbread. The only one with similar ugly design is LG.

                              Is this considered a flagship with no water protection?

                              And the Kirin chip is only top of the line for the Kirin Chips, Different than the A12 and SD845 chips. You really can't compare.

                              Aside from the lack of an IP68 rating this is a nice phone, even with the water drop notch as it seems relatively small. Not sure if I could go back to a flat screen after my edge as it just fells nice in the hands.

                              Nice honest pro / con list though.

                                        Pros
                                        -Nice design with flat front and grippy glass back
                                        -Bright display with great contrast, small notch
                                        -Dependable battery with SuperCharge support
                                        -Top of the line Kirin 980 chipset with AI
                                        -All-round camera experience with great daylight and night shots
                                        -Excellent video stabilization
                                        -3.5mm jack as STANDARD. sounds like music to our ears
                                        -Waterdrop NOTCH, well still better than the FUGLY NOTCH on Mate 20 Pro, right?

                                        Cons
                                        -No water resistance
                                        -Low-quality top speaker
                                        -NM cards only! What is Huawei doing?! Huawei could have made the new slot compatible with microsd card!
                                        -No autofocus on the selfie camera
                                        -Abysmal low-light performance of the ultra-wide-angle camera
                                        -The 4K video quality could have been better
                                        -Display could have looked much BETTER WITHOUT NOTCH.

                                        There, editor, fixed it for you.
