Help everyone. I come from an Iphone 6 and I want a phone that I can use a full day with Snapchat, Twitter, Fb instagram, Web, Mail, SmS, make calls. I am on my phone almost all the time. I don't do a lot og gaming (or at all). Which one btw the two should I chose ? Thanks
 
Huawei P20 Pro doesn't have a headphone jack nor a micro-SD slot, and it has a display notch, which are something you may wish to consider. And those were important considerations for me when I bought a new Huawei Mate 10 last month.

I don''t care about the notch, I think it's not bad. For Headphone jack again it's not a problem even if I don't understand why they take it back. And no micro-SD but 128 Go is huge no ? I mean actually i have the iphone 6 with 16 Go so...
But the mate 10 Pro, what do you think about the camera ? It looks not as great as the P20 pro no ?

Yeh, 128GB internal storage is huge. But on the other hand I also use a 256GB micro-SD for my music, videos, photos, documents, etc. which currently is 59GB free. And I don't really want to go without that. Also been able to plug my phone into classroom PAs via the headphone jack is sometimes useful for me, to play some Tchaikovsky or something while the students march in. :D I've just bought a Matedock 2, so I can use the phone for showing lesson materials on the projectors, so I don't have to carry a laptop around the school any more.

It's actually the Mate 10 I've got and not the Mate 10 Pro. Because that doesn't have a micro-SD nor headphone jack either. Bit of an odd decision that I think by Huawei, the "Pro" one seems to offer less than the other. Can't see any reason why the Pros shouldn't have a micro-SD slot. They're dual-SIM phones, and the micro-SD is shared with the SIM2 slot, like many dual-SIM phones that take micro-SD.

Mate 10 takes good pictures for me, so no problems there, and certainly as good if not better than my previous Oppos.

The P20 Pro has three rear facing cameras, is that something I really need?

I did also consider Samsung Galaxy S9+ when I bought the Mate 10 last monnth, but ruled it out because of price, about 50% more than the Mate 10. Also I did own a Note7 briefly, so I'm not so keen on Samsung now anyway.
