What kind of gorilla glass it uses on the front and back ?
the oleophobic coating on p30 pro seems to be much batter than on Samsung phones, a LOT less smudges and fingerprints, but then it will depend on how long the coat will last, as it seems Samsung went with a solution that is less effective but lasts a long time, while other phones seem to "run out" after 2-3 months and the coating is worn off.
Overall quality feel is about the same for p30p and my s9+ and note9, I only had s10 in my hands for couple of minutes to compare the latest. Screen curvature is better on on p30p in regard of eye comfort, Samsung narrowed the edges in S9/N9/S10 too much and it getsin the way often, when reading or typing on larger sized gboard keyboard I don't really notice the screen is curved on p30p, but on the other hand samsung has much better handle on the random unwanted touches on the edges when you hold the phone. But that is software related..
I like buttons on Samsung phones better, they are smoother and easier to tuch, too firm on my huawei, and kinda clicky/loud, some people like that, I don't.
Display on huawei has light discoloration on the edges, noticeable only in bright/white colors, but it is still better than not being able to read first and last words on full screen text article when on Samsung.
What is kinda weird for me is that knocking on the display side by side note9 - p30p, the huawei sounds kinda hollow, like the cheap ipad 2017/2018 or old ipad models without laminated screens, yet when I compare the displays up close the display on huawei seems to be even "closer" to you than samsung, thinner glass probably. I think huawei is not using gorilla glass 6 as samsung does on s10, otherwise they would have advertise it as such. 3 of my friends have mate 20/pro, they all complain about horrible micro-scratches on display, but when I inspected it it was the same as on my note 9 - seems to be scrathes on the oleophobic coating only, as with a good clean the display does not show any scratches even on direct sunlight.
Generally, the recent p/mate phones feel as good as any other premium flagship phone. And their selection of back panel colors is the best at the moment, although I was only able to pick the black - breathing crystal was available for 256gb model but I don't need that much storage and wear cases/skins anyway, but if I had my hands on one of the gradient colors, I would probably just wear transparent case on it, it really looks great.
Feels solid and what you'd expect from a premium flagship.
But my God is this device slippery. It was hard to hold as I was scared of it slipping from my hands. And one time the phone just slipped right out of my pocket onto a hard floor. Took it like a champion and didn't have a mark on it.
I'd advise getting a case simply because it's easier to hold

Don't use a wet wipe to clean your phone and the coating will last you much longer. I used the P20 Pro for almost 7 months, and the coating didn't wore off one bit. Keep anything that has alcohol in it as far as you can from your phone.

I dont think they use gorillaa glass
Screen is super sensitive. Not a single drop not a single mishap and i got a scratch on the screen the size of a fingernail. Quite disappointed on that since i was expecting my screen protector toarrive from day to day to avoid that and the phone is 2 weeks old. Ill probably use the vip service if its covered to change screen
I plan to use jet seal on top of the coating. That prevents scratches and further fingerprinting. I want to keep that breathing crystal beautiful for ages

Got my Note 8 about 4 days ago, 2 days ago i took it into the AT&T store to get a case and glass screen protector,
while she was putting the screen protector on she laid the phone on the plastic table by the time she was done had micro scratches on the very bottom and one across from edge. was pissed but nothing really i could do.
P.S. She didn't even get the screen protector on correctly. so be careful
The black frame on the Honor 8 felt much nicer compared to the note 8. It feels plasticy

What does that have to do with the device aesthetics? Besides the scratches you described, do you like the look and design of the phone? Yes or no?
I love the curved design and how nicely it sits in the hand. Bear in mind, I'm coming from a Note 3 which I've been using for 4 years. The materials used, especially the glass back, make this feel every bit the premium phone I was expecting.
My GF is not a fan of big phones but even she was surprised at how comfortable it was in the hand. It's actually slimmer in width than my Note 3 and the curved back is much nicer to hold than the plastic back on the Note 3.
Note 8 still has huge bezels and very inconvenient ugly curved display !!

huh? Note 8 doesn't have deep curves like S8/+
Loved my Sony Xperia, both for its hardware, but also aesthetically.
I like square, flat phones. The Xperia had that for me.
I also love the build quality of Apple's phone line, and found their design change starting with the 6 to feel very nice in the hand when I checked them out.
When it came time for a new phone, the S8+ combined the two designs (Xperia and Apple later models) into what I originally felt to be the perfect feel and look. But I started to grow tired of the super- curved edges (I'm new to Sammy)... screen that can't be used, or covered very well with a glass protector (a must for my dirty hands). Soon after, I started realizing that i really wasn't digging the rounded corners that much, either!
It took me two months, but I started really regretting buying the damned thing! LOL!
So I got the Note 8, with a few more features, and slightly less curved edges and more squared corners, and it's just an as absolutely perfect fit for me.
Not ONE single gripe about it. This is a down right beautiful phone IMO.

Yep, Samsung copied the square shape of the Sony for their N8.

fine fit and prevents squinting
I've has my Note 8 for a week and a bit. I think it feels pretty good naked and with my Spigen Tough Armor case. The device feels good in the hand.
The flexible and curved screen technologies came out a few years ago, but there wasn't much practical use for them. These were solutions waiting for problems. That's cool. Even the giant curved screen TVs that came out since then seem to be useful only if you plan on viewing the TV from a four meter distance. That makes sense.
But the Galaxy Edge screen? "Uhhhhhh, okay, it's cute, but can we move along now?"
People seem to love their Galaxy Edge screens, but I honestly don't get it -- at all! I'm definitely a function-over-form kind of guy, and so I don't want the edges of my screen wraping around the sides of the device and facing away from me. Because this is less than optimal design, it actually looks ugly to me. So, it seems it's only function is to be a gimmick to sell more product to people who are more form-over-function than function-over-form.
This is my opinion, and other opinions may differ.
So now that Samsung is not offering their new Galaxy devices without the Edge wrap-around screens, I won't be buying them until they bring back the flat screens.
Are there some other practical uses for the screen wrapping around half of the device's side? And are these uses worth the trade off of sacrificing pixels that face you when viewing your screen normally?
If Samsung really must continue the gimmick I hope they get wise and bring back totally flat screen as a Galaxy product option.
That's my feelings, but what do others think about curved edges vs flat?
Really don't like curved edges either, I think it looks nice but functionally I'd just prefer flat. Also makes cases weird as they have to cut around the curved sides.
Gimmick I personally HATE curved displays. You can't fully protect it with tempered glass. There are curved ones but those have glue only on the edges not whole panel. It also gives ugly light reflexes. I believe that was designed to eliminate decent screen protection and make devices less shatter proof. I hope there will be flat Galaxy S9 if not i will probably (sadly) abandon samsung. 2,5D is a BS also
gimmick, i hate it. hard to protect with case, makes replacement screen more expensive too

Glass feels premium but fragile, slippery, fingerprint magnet and bad conductor of heat compared to metal. Well, people will use a case anyway.
Feels premium, i love the design, very chic and elegant. the black color is really nice fits well.
Yes, the glass is fingerprint magnet.. but anyways i use a case. but sometimes i use it without case just to feel it. the finger print and low bezels is really the best in the market... because it is really small bezel and u dn't need a navigation bar to take part of the screen. so comparing it to other devices it was better. so far didn't notice defects.
Overall it looks great but the paint used on the metal sides isn't great quality. I've NEVER used the phone without the provided case. I took it out to have a look at it for the first time in ages the other day and noticed the phone has scratches all the way down the sides. My assumption is that this is from dust in my pocket getting between the best and the metal frame. First time I've seen this with a phone though.
almost scratch free. really slippery without case. I use a soft leather case to maintain grip. or it would keep on falling
Fell premium. I was happy with quality of materials until 2 days ago, when i try to change SIM card, i put out phone from case, and put on arm rest of sofa. I dont know how it could be possible that phone slip down on wood table. 20cm distance and left corner on alu frame is little sunk.
Screen scratches super fast. I have old Chinese umi super, used it in work no screen protector or case. Never get scratches. My mate 10 just a few times in pocket of jeans got scratches... Horrible.

Uhhh you do realize that there's a factory applied screen protector right?
I took that off the first day of use. I dont like it.. On akl my previous phones never used screen protector. No scratches
I have white spots/circles on the side of the phone. Paint is rubbed away. Not many of them but its still a shame.

Without the case you get in the package it always feels a little slippery. Compared to the oneplus one I owned before it feels very heavy
The weight is a serious issue for me, it feels like a brick in the hand
Not sure why all the complaints about weight. I notice it a bit but it is a welcomed change to me. The weight to me resembles quality. In an age where I feel that my oneplus 5t was almost too thin, I really love how the MI Mix 2s feels in hand. Hard to say it feels like a brick because it weights 191 grams (6.74 oz) most bricks weight 3 pounds or more. The oneplus 5t was 164 ish grams. 30 grams isnt that big of a difference....
Ceramic is a lot stronger than other materials as well (yes its very brittle I know that), and I love how it looks. Plus it has wireless charging!
Nonetheless, the design, weight, and screen, make this the absolute best feeling device in hand. IN MY OPINION.
To each his own, weight being an indication of quality is a fallacy and ceramic is a less than ideal material for a phone.
For me the weight is a serious issue even when it does not look that much in numbers, you feel it while holding it longer, especially while watching videos.

You sure have a lot of issues with this phone! Starting to wonder why you bought it...
You must watch some LONNNNNNNNNNNG videos bro. Maybe ya need to hit the gym more if you arms are getting sore
I obviously bought it expecting the weight not being that large of an issue

"weight being an indication of quality is a fallacy" Soooo you're telling me that a plastic phone that is 100 grams is just as durable as a metal framed phone with glass on one side and ceramic on the other.
Sorry but you are wrong. My nexus 6p was metal and I watched many people fold theirs in half. Weight does not equal quality. But they go hand in hand....
Yes a polymere can actually be a great material because it can be light strong and flexibel, great for a phone especially when you drop it, brittle things like caramic and Glas break.
It's only because or the irrational 'premium' feel manufacturers started using these other materials

:good: Have fun with your polymer flip phones then dude. Its 2018. If you were to stuff a polymer phone in your pocket with a bunch of keys and coins it would be scratched to hell in no time. I own a polymer handgun and would never want my phone to be made out of it. Metal is harder than plastic dude. Metal would scratch plastic. Ceramic is extremely scratch resistant and it allows for wireless charge, unlike aluminum.
If you dont like ceramic and glass go back to your Nokia grandpa.

Dude keep calm, we are all friends here, no reason to be offensive
Actually 30g from 160g is a huge difference. That's one fifth (20%) so it is a lot. I agree with you that the ceramic back definitely makes it feel high quality but it will scratch and break too. The plastic back of the 1+1 was very very resistant, I dropped this phone countless times on concrete and it only had a few scratches. I would also prefer, in some cases, a good plastic to a ceramic or glass back(don't like glass at all) but it would destroy the premium look of the 2s completely.
Exactly, I had the opo too and it was nearly indestructible, great materials
I'm going to post this coming from a V20. In hand this phone feels weighty more so than the V20 even tho the difference is about 10g. While slippery naked, the provided case gives it a nice soft gripiness. The sides are gently curved and feel good in hand. I have long fingers so I can say the screen size is good for me but I can see the less endowed having issues. I'm happy with the feel overall.
This phone is sexy as hell. Love the look and feel. The weight is a non issue for me. Coming from my pixel 2xl the weight doesn't bother me. I'd be interested in a skin if and when that comes out.

Awesome. Thanks for the feedback
Great feel but slippery. Really good build quality and yeah it is heavier than most other devices which is great imo.
Coming from MI5, yes, It feels heavier.
Enviado desde mi Mi MIX 2S mediante Tapatalk
To me it does feel heavier than the other phones I've been using, but that's mainly because I've never used a phone with a screen size above 5"
After a few month the weight doesn't affect your usage of the phone and it is barely noticable.
It feels nice in hand for me with a "medium sized" hand (or what else you would call a normal hand
I just think it's way to slippery and couldn't see myself use it without a cover - and not the included one as that's even more slippery! Have no problems with the weight..

I've been using the phone for almost a week now without a case, and I have been extremely careful with it, but it already has some micro scratches on the display. Its not a super big deal, you can only see it in direct light, but still. I did order a screen protector and a case but the canada post strike once again is causing delays and says I probably wont get my stuff until January. No retailers around here have any cases sooooo if you're thinking about getting an ROG phone, especially if you live in Canada, maybe you should hold off for the next month or two.
Also, not the biggest fan of the pentile sub pixel arrangement. Colours, blacks, and 90hz are actually great, but ugh why pentile, I can clearly see it at normal viewing distance.
The phone itself itself feels solid and heavy. And very smooth. If I put it on my desk it sometimes floats over toward my keyboard depending on how I put it down. A case is a must. I would like one like my old case, false leather with hard plastic, and a cover flap with thin speaker grill cutouts. I miss it already. Nothing on this phone feels loose, and the buttons are all clicky and easy to push. The power button on my old phone use to be on the top left, so I sometimes find myself accidentally hitting it. Especially when I squeeze the phone to take a screenshot. I wish they placed them higher up so they wouldn't be right where I naturally rest my fingers. (for reference if I put the bottom edge of the phone flat against the bottom of my palm, my middle finger just barely reaches over the top edge of the phone.)
Overall I think the phone is well made, and quite a solid phone. When it came out of the box, everything was pristine, worked flawlessly, fast, and easily. There are some small gripes but most people probably wont care about any of them except that the screen can easily get micro scratches, even when being very careful.
EDIT: The screen is still accumulating scratches while I wait for my screen protector to arrive. No scratches on the back however. Disappointing, considering I never used a screen protector on my m7 and scratches didn't start showing up until year 4.
Also this thing is a dust magnet. And I'm not sure how but a speck already made its way under the rear camera glass.
Does anyone know of a place in toronto that would sell generic wallet cases that would fit this phone? Don't want to keep using this unprotected for potentially the rest of 2018
