      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.

          "The custom Exynos chipset is as fast as the latest Kirin"
          Not exactly.

            Whackcar, 02 Nov 2018That's ok then. I should remind you though, that there is also the Mate 20 X, which has the sa... moreThe X is too big for me.

            This Mate 20 sounds big as well at 6.5" size, but when compare with my older Honor 8 pro 5.7" screen side by side, it has almost the same size body footprint! I love it and i think its the maximum size that i can hold & accept.

                Nicolas F, 02 Nov 2018Btw, Mate 20 Pro has 80 minutes more in Web BL than SGN9, and Mate 20 has >400 minutes more =)As far as I can tell, under use the Mates are superior. That's not to say the Samsung battery life is bad-it's quite good- but the Mates ate just great under use

                    I'm more impressed with the camera on the regular Mate 20 than on the Pro. Definitely would buy it

                      One of the most beautiful phones out there, and the most feature-packed also.

                          Firefox, 02 Nov 2018Mate 10 has OIS, then why Mate 20 don't?Because it is harder to apply OIS as sensor gets bigger.

                          Nexus 6p, Pixel 1, Xperia and Mate 20 all are 1/2.3" ... None of them has OIS.
                          The 40MP on the Pros does not have as well.

                          OIS makes the module larger and thicker.

                            You can turn some pixel off but they still use space. This space can't be taken by the rest.

                                      Shui8, 02 Nov 2018Honor Magic 2 wont get the same camera quality for sure. It uses the smaller sensor camera as ... moreThat's ok then. I should remind you though, that there is also the Mate 20 X, which has the same camera setup as Mate 20 Pro & also has a 3.5mm jack, so might be better for you if you don't mind the huge size of it.

So Mate 20 & Mate 20 Pro have more or less the same battery endurance.

                                        As for Note 9, that phone is running on 1080p by default so it's not a fair comparison. In 1440p mode, it's endurance rating would probably be equal to or lower than both the Mates.
