That’s fine for everything, with a possible exception of VR, where a higher pixel density remains helpful given the proximity to your eyes. Whether you're giving your old phone a new lease of life or recycling a broken handset, you'll be helping to protect the environment! Our 'broken' criteria include phones that 'may have faults, damage or not work correctly' - which covers a wide variety of common defects and issues associated with damage. These are namely prior to the release of a Huawei smartphone, which tends to be in the spring, or in the months leading up to Christmas. There’s no word yet on when this update might drop, but you can see the full list of Huawei phones that are set to receive the Android Q upgrade in our dedicated Huawei ban article.

Oh, and the dual speakers at the bottom of the phone are an illusion: cover the right-hand side one and all audio vanishes. If you want the best phone that Huawei has to offer in 2018, you're not likely to be led to the P20. The review model is the pink gold edition and, in person, it really is stunning with its mother-of-pearl sheen. Her specialty is everyday electronics, be that a cheap laptop for uni or an easy-to-use smartphone for an elderly parent. In terms of brightness, it hits a peak of 456cd/m2 meaning it’s perfectly readable in all but the brightest conditions.

Only reviews that feature the label "Verified Review" have been checked to ensure that the author actually used or purchased the product. The P20 comes in black, champagne gold, twilight, pink gold and midnight blue while the P20 pro is available in black, midnight blue, pink gold and twilight. AIS: Huawei's software version of optical image stabilisation keeps exposure time below 1/16 of a second. The P20 goes from decent looking to one of the most stunning smartphone designs I’ve ever seen, depending on colour.

Various issues that your phone could have include a broken screen, buttons not working and audio problems. Once everything's been confirmed, the cash value is transferred to your chosen bank account the same day! The hardened glass back of the handset has an opalescent pink finish that gives it a gorgeous mother-of-pearl look, and while not everyone will appreciate either the pink or the (slight) gradient, a lot of people would love a phone that looks like they found it on the beach.Even the camera software can be streamlined, if you wish: a double tap of the volume-down button triggers a snapshot in just 0. When your Welcome Pack arrives, post your device (and any power cables) in the Freepost Bag provided.

If you want 60fps, then you’re going to have to make do with 1080p footage – but again, this won’t be stabilised. AI Super Night Mode: Standard low-light images from the P20 can hold their own against shots taken with the iPhone X, though the Galaxy S phones still perform slightly better due to their optical image stabilisation. Get your valuation from the calculator above, give us a few personal details and select a bank account for the direct cash transfer. As smartphones’ value decreases over time, we would recommend that you sell your phone sooner rather than later to get paid more for it. Highlight of the Huawei P20 Pro Dual SIM is the AI-enhanced triple rear camera with hybrid zoom -- it has been rated one of the best phone cameras on the market.If that's the case with yours, we urge you to consider our free recycling service and dispose of your old mobile phone in the most environmentally friendly way possible. Some devices may have a bit of wear and tear, but every handset will have no more than five deep scratches or chips up to 2mm in length. This is because we monitor and assess valuations throughout the day to ensure you're getting the most up-to-date deal.

If you're looking for smartphones with proper Google support, you should check out the Samsung Galaxy A71, the Samsung Galaxy M31 and the Xiaomi Mi 10T lite. Some advanced users have been able to hack the Google support back in, but it's indeed a painful process. The whole package is encased in a glass-backed, super-stylish handset in a choice of gradient finishes or, if you prefer, more ordinary colours. The very first time we took it out on the London Underground, a group of teenagers asked us what it was, and declared it a 'serious phone' (this is, we presume, a good thing).

Any doubts about the wisdom of Huawei not following the herd and using Qualcomm chips are quickly dispelled upon using the P20. Note: You can make your cash payment come through even more quickly if you opt for the 'print own label' option.
