I have an iPhone X and the mute switch has proven durability and a simple design.
Got a tip for us?

believe it or not, adjectives and adverbs are not purely superlative window dressing—they're supposed to also make sense, too
Its time for apple to go also with 90hz display since they already have an 120hz lcd display
FYI Oppo, Vivo, and OnePlus have the same parent company BBK Electronics.

You see these buttons are not motorized. But honestly I use the selfie camera maybe once a month. The motor that's more likely to fail is the vibration motor.

First you got it wrong. Rather than admitting it, you changed the goal post. Good job!!!

Mate 20 is not the same as Mate 20 Pro. Only the Pro has 3D face scanning. Btw the reason why Apple makes so much money is obviously they have a very good product. But they also have the highest profit margin for any phone companies. You're paying a ton of money to have the privilege of using an iPhone.

I've been an iPhone user for a few years now and an Android user before that. I'm currently using an iPhone and a Oppo R17 Pro (similar to the One Plus 6/7).
My observations are as follows :
1.) Hardware wise, the design and tech is great. They do try and put in some great value for money tech that you'll like. Mine has an in-screen finger print reader that does a better job than my wife's Samsung S10 which costs a lot more than my phone.
2.) Software is good but not great. The manufacturer masks stock android with its own version and this often has numerous bugs, many of which I found out after I began using the phone.
3.) Software support is non-existent after a point. My iPhone 5 still got updates whereas these manufacturers will stop supporting a phone a few months after the next iteration turns up(that too in a few months time). This is unfair to the user I believe.
Having said all this, if nothing works, I can at least have some comfort in the fact that I paid ~600 for a good phone which does have some flaws and imperfections but then even the iPhone is not perfect (and neither are people!)
I believe an iPhone is a good phone as well but at that pricepoint, people are bound to be more choosy and harp more on what they believe are flaws and areas for improvement.
In any case, competition is good and keeps innovation going.
Cheers!

I actually just switched from an iPhone X to a XR. it's a really superb phone. Overall, I don't really notice any difference between my XR screen and my X, and I prefer it to the Samsung screens I saw. It's got a very good camera, terrific battery life, an incredible chip, and for me the perfect size.
A lot of people just read the specs for the XR without actually checking it out, and so they just regurgitate that stuff without actually seeing or dealing with the phone.
Go get a different and more shiny toy, boy! What really do aesthetic innovations do for you? It’s a phone - what else should it do to cater for a current or anticipated NEED?
Love the no notch screen. I still wish Apple would have just put a small bezel across the top.
The pop up camera is an interesting idea. Screen looks beautiful. I'm always happy to see competition. Keep pushing Apple higher.
I'd expect apple to work some magic with mirrors to shrink the notch rather than do anything with moving parts. This idea would likely require them to make the top of the phone a bit thicker, like what the camera bump already is. Consumers wouldn't mind that, but apple would never do it so meh.
This phone is exactly what the market needs to stimulate some competition. It does so many things well:
- incredible screen - size, colour accuracy, resolution/sharpness and of course 90 Hz
- super fast fingerprint reader under screen
- no notch or cutout
- awesome way to hide the front camera imo
- super fast hardware
- triple camera setup
- big battery
- one of the fastest, most optimized android phones
- very fast wired charging
- water resistance
- disruptive pricing
There are some seriously weird misses like no wireless charging, and it doesn't adhere to USB-C PD standards (even Apple does). But overall... It's great for the market. I'd love to see some of these features in the next iPhone.

keep telling yourself that.
When apple comes out with a notches phone will you be like nooooo please give me the notch back.
No.
no you won't
Realistically, we haven't had a design change since the iPhone 6/6 Plus. It's just a rehash year after year, with a few changes in camera placement and materials.
I have similar uneasy feeling with the Android scrolling, particularly in the web browsers.
However, I do recommend you install the Samsung Internet Browser Beta. Scrolling is the most fluid on Android, very similar to iOS, I think you’ll b satisfied with it.
I personally wouldn't mind a pop up camera like that tested for 300,000 cycles.
For the rare case I use my front camera this would be totally fine for me and im sure many many people for 3-5 years if you wanted to keep it that long.
I dont care for faceid much having it for two years almost now. Bring back the fingerprint reader under the glass do something like this and be done with bezels all together.

Oppo, Vivo and OnePlus are owned by the same Chinese company. They just pretend to compete against each other.
Your brain will break more often than the motorised camera.
Look you’d have to do 150 operations per day for 5 years. Do you fancy yourself so much you’d take 150 selfies per day? LOL
anyway buy 3 of them for the cost of one iPhone XS Max if you’re worried it will break... 6 SIM cards too you could have....you’d need since you’re so popular and all those selfies you take of your pretty face the world needs to see them.
I wonder how secure is their Fingerprint scanner. Because that In-Display TouchID is REAL fast.
They know very few people buy their flagships ,that’s why they put it on their top models.
This is not strictly true as in Xiaomi and Redmi, or Disney and ESPN so it isn't really a "parent" company. but they are closely related with ownership between each sharing. Especially from BBK's owner. They do share all their R&D, only product design and marketing are different.
Edit: Despite what Wikipedia states, I wonder who wrote it or if BBK want to be known as that.
Huawei's cameras aren't really better; at least not the end result. The lenses are more interesting, granted. The hardware is great, but the software is where they fall short.
Only apple and Google have really good smart hdr algorithms, and only those two get colour right consistently. Google has the best night mode. Apple has expanded dynamic range in video which beats all competitors right now.
You don't have to wait till the next year to get fast charging, or rely on what's in the box. I can get genuine apple lightning usb-c cables for around $5 at my local overstock auction place, and you can buy 60w usb-c chargers for $20, as well as 45w usb-c car chargers for under $20.
