mine is a LG screen but have zero issues with it. got it back in november 2018 so it's almost 4 months i think if there was a problem with the screen i would have seen it already. now im not saying that there are no mate20 pro phones with screens issues., just that every phone has a problem here and there. and people tend to blow things out of proportion.
Got a tip for us?

Phones If Apple were to close down tomorrow, which smartphone would you buy?

The same ones I have always been buying, non-Apple ones.
XS Max, my current DD. Pretty phenomenal phone, without the bezels and the large size just make it almost perfect. My only wishes would be pencil support, multi screen support and a better camera. Hopefully with good care it should last for a few years. I'd be hesitant to go back to Android because of all the privacy issues, seems like there is a new one every day.
sounds like you would be more happy with a note10 than with the iphone. as far as privacy.
A Huawei phone is probally the safest phone for privacy if you live in the United States.
It's one of the only companies that won't cooperate with the NSA, CIA, FBI, etc.,
unlike Google, Apple, Microsoft, Facebook, etc. (Look up Edward Snowden and project PRISM).
I’m kind of facing that problem now because I refuse to own a phone with The Notch.
I would just keep my 7+, but if I absolutely had to change right away I would probably get one of Sony’s new Xperia phones. I’m not a big Android fan though; always something like “Media Server” or another system app eating up tons of battery life while idle some days, and then runs perfectly on others. Wish there were a third alternative again.

Lol what? Get a Huawei phone if you want the Chinese government to have your information instead of the US governement. That's the only difference. Huawei are about as dishonest a company as it gets. They steal tech constantly and have had very public issues of storing data on Chinese servers. They've also admitted that if the Chinese government asks for data they would have to comply.
In the hypothetical situation that Apple were to permanently shut down, then I would be interested in purchasing a hypothetical new Essential device collaboration between Jony Ive and Andy Rubin.
That's right: In this hypothetical situation, Jony is freed up to work on the next Essential phone!

That's a tough decision, the US having my info versus China, hmm... It is an interesting take and actually makes sense if you just ignore the China part.
Flip phones were kinda cool tho, the distinct "klok" they gave when closing them after a conversation were legendary.
If i were to change i would go for Huawei P30 (or Mate 30 if/when it comes). super value for money, and decent UI.

Too late as Microsoft already discontinued Windows 10 Mobile.

Then get them while they’re still around since Sony won’t last long. There are already rumors of them exiting the Middle East and SE Asian markets, which won’t bode well to their future.
I hated that the Windows phone platform died off. That would have been my choice as well as I bought one once just to try and loved it. Now I guess I would switch over to the Pixel Phone as how they receive updates closely resembles Apple and you don’t have all the bloatware you get from the carrier phones.
True. I switch platforms 2 or 3 times a year but always seem to come back to apple. Not usually because of the hardware (I feel that other manufacturers are way more innovative lately eg. S10+, Pixel, Huwawei...) it always seems to come down to iOS for me. Privacy, iMessage, FaceTime, Airdrop, seamless address book synchronization.
I am holding out to see if MS actually comes out with Andromeda/Surface phone. Feel like that would be something to disrupt the market...if they did it right (highly doubtful)
