2022 Upgrade options? Lost my phone -_- - Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers
As per the title! Lost my phone a couple of days ago, had a mate 20x 5g
Back on my old mi max 3 now but should I reorder or is there anything else around?
Needs to be the same size or bigger with 5g dual Sim
I'm not asking for much right
Current UK used price with 2 year warranty is around 300 GBP
There is nothing the same size or bigger that I can find and definitely not 5G/Dual Sim. Best bet is to just buy another one. With manufacturers trying (maybe in vain) to push foldable phones it might be a while before we see another 7" standard phone.

If I were you I'd get the note 20 ultra. Its fast, has a big screen and has better resolution and specs than the 20x.
The 20x is a laggard now. There hasnt been any sec updates since 2020 and will never have one again.
The gravy train stopped running dude. Trust me, you dont want to get a mate 20x going forward into 2022

I agree, but I am looking at a new phone as well and the price difference between the 18 month old Note20 Ultra and the brand new S22 Ultra is relatively small second hand, so I am leaning more towards the S22 Ultra.
It's obviously a lot more money than the Mate 20 X but technology has moved on and the Mate 20 X is now 3.5 years old.
In the Netherlands I can get a new S22 Ultra for €850, a used Note20 Ultra for €650 and a used Mate 20 x or Mate 20 x 5G will still cost me €350 to €400.
There is nothing like this on the market, trust me I've looked. I just got one. It's a rare phone and won't work on CDMA providers. There is no phone of this size, it's the only one with this wide of a screen. The other ones are all the same width, just taller, which is useless. I need it wider for reading, that's the whole point of a bigger display. But all the big phones have the same width as the smaller ones.
I got rid of the Note 20 because it was the same size as my V30, just taller and heavier. Useless for me. Also, this doesn't support MicroSD. I had to get the phone to be sure. It only supports NM cards, which is the same size as a sim card, and it's only available up to 256GB, so you can't get more than 512GB on this device including an NM card, if you have a 256GB internal.
As of now, nothing that I want exists on the market.
xxxxxxx This is not a slow phone. Other phones are faster, but the whole point of this phone is the form factor, and this is still one of the fastest phones on the market.

You didnt look hard enough. Actually, theres a phone like the 20 x on the market called the honor x30 max. It sports the same size and similar aspect ratio as the 20 x with wide screen.

The Honor x30 Max has a 7.09" screen, which is smaller than the 7.2" screen of the Mate 20 X. The aspect ratio of the Honor x30 Max is 19:9. The Mate 20 X has a 18.7:9 aspect ratio.
Not only are you wrong about your actual statements, but also the Honor x30 Max CANNOT BE ROOTED, PERIOD (mandatory for me). It does NOT have OLED (a mandatory requirement for me). It has no expandable storage (also a requirement). Not only that, but it has mandatory 5G (which I am avoiding for my life).
Smaller, LCD (non-OLED) display. Lower-end phone. Even uses a Mediatek CPU (reserved for lower-end phones)! The Mate 20 X is a huge upgrade over the newer phone.
The new phone is a downgrade on every level - screen, quality, performance, features, efficiency.
HiSilicon Kirin 980 vs MediaTek MT6877 Dimensity 900 5G
Geekbench 4 single core3,3383,312(Android 64-bit)
Geekbench 4 multi-core9,8228,271(SGEMM)
GFLOPS performance102.1 GFLOPS93 GFLOPS(Multi-core / watt performance)
Performance / watt ratio1,637 pts / W827 pts / W
Simply put, there is NOTHING like the Mate 20 X with this size or form factor, especially not with OLED, on the market, nothing even comes close. You'll have to get a smaller, crappier phone, or sacrifice the form factor and quality and features to get a faster phone but not with a screen like this.
It's not a perfect phone, but it beats almost every phone in 2022, and competes in line with flagships. Desired features it lacks are microsd (it has nm card), 2K/4K, and high refresh rate. Also being able to unlock the bootloader on the newest OS. Other than that, there is nothing that comes close to this phone considering the OLED screen on this.

Here are the FACTS about the x30 max compared to the mate 20 x. The following is from gsmarena.com. xxxxx
BodyDimensions174.4 x 84.9 x 8.3 mm (6.87 x 3.34 x 0.33 in)174.6 x 85.4 x 8.2 mm (6.87 x 3.36 x 0.32 in)Weight228 g (8.04 oz)232 g (8.18 oz)BuildGlass front, plastic frame, plastic backGlass front (Gorilla Glass), glass back, aluminum frameSIMDual SIM (Nano-SIM, dual stand-by)Hybrid Dual SIM (Nano-SIM, dual stand-by)IP53, dust and splash protection
Stylus (optional)
DisplayTypeIPS LCD, HDR10OLED, HDR10Size7.09 inches, 125.5 cm2 (~84.7% screen-to-body ratio)7.2 inches, 130.7 cm2 (~87.6% screen-to-body ratio)Resolution1080 x 2280 pixels, 19:9 ratio (~356 ppi density)1080 x 2244 pixels, 18.7:9 ratio (~346 ppi density)ProtectionCorning Gorilla Glass (unspecified version)
So as I said before, the x30 max is a +7 inch phone which is comparable to the mate 20x. Resolution and ppi between the 2 phones are generally the same as noted. The size again is basically the same. There exists about 4 phones that I know that are +7 inches.
The 30x max may not be the exact copy of the mate 20 x but it holds its own with a huge +7 inch screen which most phones lack. One difference between the 2 is that the x30 max has 64 MP, f/1.8, 26mm (wide), PDAF while the mate 20 x has the 40 MP, f/1.8, 27mm (wide), 1/1.7", PDAF.

How can you get s22 ultra for that price? Its 1000€+ in EU
I owned the mate 20X for more than 2 years. It’s simply the best phone I have had. Recently, I saw some phones that have 120hz. This feature is a must in any phone right now for me, so I searched all the markets with a phone that has this feature with a width of at least 80mm, but I couldn’t find any except few phones like the Honor X30 Max, but the hardware in that phone is not good. The options I was left with were either foldable phones, Iphone 13 pro max, which I don’t like, so I went with S22 Ultra.
The S22 Ultra is amazing. The 120hz is a must now for me. The camera is simply amazing compared to the Mate 20x. Speed is also noticeable, but not to the point that would push me to replace the mate.
Let’s come to the most important thing we are all talking about here which is the screen. The S22 ultra has better colors. The better resolution is noticeable for me too. However, the size is a huge no for me, and I don’t like the curve display. I have both devices next to each other now, but I still prefer the media experience on my mate20x. I am not disappointed with my s22 Ultra, but I still think the Mate is a better phone for media, writing and reading which is more important for me that the camera for example.
There might be a coming phone that may be a good alternative for the mate, but it is still a rumor: Vivo X Note

Second hand sites. These new Samsung phones are frequently part of a contract renewal and then sold on for cash.
BTW I got a Z Fold3. The S22 Ultra was just too boring for me.
I have a note 20 ultra (6.9" screen) I am selling it and moving to a mate 20x I miss mine that much.
The curved screens are trash in my opinion.

I'm so excited. This is really IT. I'm a huge fan of the G2 D802 but if the F7 gets it right, meaning, the promised 2K screen, the ridiculously large camera (50mb, WTF?!), some serious processor and getting the function keys on screen instead of the bottom part (which is so old fashion!!) then truly the Oppo Find 7 will be the best phone EVER and I'll lose my freakin mind because it's still not common in most places and I'll want it so badly :0)
i think it's to big, 5.5 screen is to much, my find 5 has 5.0 and it's already difficult to reach the corners..
http://www.red-dot-21.com/products/find7-smartphone-21001 This site claims a 13mp cam and SD800 Still, it looks pretty decent to me

This phone is so going to mop the floor with Samsung!
What for 50 Mpix if details are faded? What for if there is no optical stabilization? And what for if there is no good camera software like in Samsung is (many options, scenes and so on). I am curious, but a bit sceptical.

Can;t wait. Changing my Find 5.
If I get it, it would be my first Oppo phone. If anyone have inputs on Oppo warranty experience, that would be helpful. For me, its going to be between this phone and the OnePlus One. Unfortunately there isn't enough info and credibility for OnePlus yet. I am currently using the MotoX, OnePlus announced they will have the touchfree okay google feature, so that's a big deal for me. Custom roms is something I miss from Nexus as well, I know both companies work with CyanogenMod, but I don't know how popular the OnePlus One will be and how many devs will be working on it, so I'm more leaning toward the Find 7 right now. The price is going to be a big deal as well, since I've been used to Nexus and Moto X price and not willing to spend $600+ anymore. I'm guessing they will be in the low $500, but after VAT and at launch date I'm guessing the Find 7 will still be $600 or more initially, especially for the 1440p version. For the camera, I'm mostly a point and shoot guy. I will use CyanogenMod with stock camera app anyway. I like the app Camera FV-5 if I want to fine tune it. Base on the 50MP samples, it will probably look as good as a very good 13MP and nothing more: http://www.gsmarena.com/more_alleged_50mp_oppo_find_7_camera_samples_emerge-news-7988.php Still, being 8000x6000 does give it room for editing. Fortunately for me I don't really buy phones for camera.

Crap, anybody interested in an Nexus 5? Lol Verstuurd vanaf mijn Nexus 5 met Tapatalk
Any indication when this is going to turn up in international markets?
I won't hold my breath, but it would be nice to see an "all band" or at least North America bands that work on LTE. I don't have LTE on my first gen note, so I probably wouldn't miss it, but, it would be nice to have it.
I'm pretty impressed, but not blown away by the specs. (No stereo speaker and the 50mp photo is software tricks, I knew about the removable back cover, but it doesn't look to have that previous Oppo's durability vibe, the back cover remind me of LG and Samsung plastic.) What I'm disappointed in is why they still keep the capacitive buttons. It's just unnecesary and make the phone larger than it is, which is the same issue with how large with both the HTC One are. I knew about the 5.5" screen and was anticipating the large size, but I was hoping they could squeeze it in a tighter package like how the Moto X managed. It's actually about the size of the Note 3, I wasn't signing up for phablet size. After drawing the dimension of this phone on paper and super imposing my actual Moto X on it, which is roughly 1inch shorter and 1cm thinner, I think I will give this phone a skip. For those who can deal with Note 3's size, it's going to be a great device. HTC One 2014 while having that HTC logo bar, still have a manageable size, so I might be interested if they have a Google Play edition, but probably not because it'll probably be overpriced like the current one. But also the HTC One is predicted to have 16MP camera, so suddenly the Find 7 isn't so impressive. M8: 146 x 70.5 mm Note 3: 151.2 x 79.2 mm Find 7: 152.6 x 75 mm Good thing I still have the OnePlus One to look forward to. I don't know, maybe one day I'll feel I can deal with the size. sent via tapatalk

The QHD is $570 in China, so by the time it hits Amazon were looking at $599. Considering Note 3 32GB is $749,id say its a good deal,and it'll come with the O-band jogging accessory whereas the Note's fitband is sold seperate. The 50MP snaps are really good,packed with detail,and there's no hump yaay. I'm eyeing the black carbon fiber F7,the way the phone looks its the same sturdy unibody of the Find 5 but you can lift the back cover. I'm also watching oneplus,especially after talk of price < $400 and the 1080p Find 7 is $499 I want to see how much was shaved off.

I Got the Samsung A70.. Should I Keep It or Buy the Mate 20X?
Hi guys, I own the samsung a70. Its got a big screen. But I'm thinking about selling it to buy the mate 20x. The a70 has a 6.7 inch screen. The 20x has a 7.3 inch although its aspect ratio is wider than the a70. has anyone had the a70 to compare with the mate 20-x? Do you think half an inch of screen real estate it worth getting it?
bump
bump
Mate 20x is have slightly better experience. Almost x2 gpu and cpu power. Mate 20x has better and wider oled screen. Switching between applications slightly smoother than a70. Mate 20x is even better than s10+. A70 is no match for mate 20x. Thats your answer i guess. There is no Phone can Come near to mate 20x. Maybe note 10+, we Will see.
Mate 20 x is better, A70 has no chance!
Cardboard model You didn't say what are the important features for you? Screensize okay, we got it But do you love Samsung Oneui? Would you like Huawei software? Mate 20 x is quite large, you should build yourself a cardboard model, it's quite easy : you can stack some sheets to get the proper thickness but don't forget about the 220+ grams weight that's 40 gram difference. Anyway I love my mate 20 x and all its features
Which Should I Buy? Mate 20 X or Black Shark 3 Pro?
I'm torn between these 2 huge 7 inch phones. I like the black shark 3 pro cuz its got a sharp resolution the mate 20 x lacks. But the screen is not as wide as the mate 20 x. I like phones wide wide aspect ratios. But the mate 20 x is old also. So I'm torn as you see. So which do you think I should buy? The huawei mate 20 x or black shark 3 pro?
I bought the 20X last month. For its wide screen. Waited for half a year or so to see if any new phones would be released with similar dimensions and a flat screen, but it didn't happen: They all just went longer, not wider. And also more and more phones with curved screens. So I said **** it, I'm gonna get the 20X. Yes it's been around for a while now, yes it has a notch, yes it has the fingerprint scanner on the back, yes it lacks a notification led, and yes there's no double tap to wake either.. But no regrets here. I'm loving it. Got used to the size in no-time. My former phone (OnePlus 3) seems like a miniature phone now when I hold it and look at the display.
Another thing worth considering is the amount of security updates you will get from the 20X. It's already 18 months old. Also depends how much money you're handing over.
What to buy after Xiaomi Max 3 ?
Hi, I love the big screen and I love miu. What do you guys suggest to buy now with such a big screen? Even if it is not Xiaomi....the galaxy note is beautiful but so expensive. Thanks
Nobody has a suggestion? I'm also looking for a new not expensive phablet 7+", 5500+mAh, TF-Card, 512 MB Ram, 5G + Band 20, Infrared, Earphone-hole, NFC, USB3, same sensors, fingerprint sensor, ...
You could try GsmArena's Phone Finder feature
I'm looking as well and there really is nothing comparable. A few nearly have the specs in every area but theyre all skinny screens now
there is no option we must ask xiaomi to build next mi max phone. with same size 18:9 display and better speakers. or taller screen but with same width. maybe a poll in official xiaomi forum?
near flagship big screen phone. mate 20 x.
Vivo X Note - Possible Mate 20 X Substitute?
For any of you guys who are interested in possibly buying a Mate 20 X substitute, the wait is over. Enter the Vivo X Note with 7.0 inch screen. Check out the specs: https://www.gsmarena.com/vivo_x_note-11469.php Obviously it just dropped 2 weeks ago. As a result, I haven't gotten my claws on it to review it yet but I can honestly say that it looks good given yt reviews. However, the only qualm I have with it is the aspect ratio set in stone at 21:10 which I consider a bitter disappointment. Compared to the note 20 ultra, its a bit wider and taller which is reminiscent of the mate 20 X but given its aspect ratio of 21:20, dont be fooled into believing its on par with the 20 X in screen size. Other than this, the price is another negative which is, unfortunately, at $1,000; something not typically expected from a chinese company.
