We will compare a few key points, performance as the SoCs in these 3 smartphones are all very different. An important criterion for many consumers is their camera. Design, tastes and colors are not discussed, but their prices and prices. Each device has its own advantages, we’ll see if we can choose from them.
Huawei P20 Pro vs Galaxy S9+ vs iPhone X: performance
The Huawei P20 Pro integrates the powerful SoC Kirin 970 and its artificial intelligence. We saw that the latter knew how to be very strong in any situation. In Geekbench, the processor scores 1921 in single-core and 6729 in multi-core. Similar scores to the Huawei Mate 10 Pro with the same SoC. How are competitors behaving?
The Galaxy S9+ Exynos version scores 3373 in single-core and 9024 in multi-core in Geekbench. The iPhone X flexes its muscles with the A11 and comes in at 4188 on a single core 10069 with multi-core. It’s clear that the biggest winner in this little performance game is the iPhone X. SoC developed by Apple clearly the best. But Android rivals didn’t have their final words.
Huawei P20 Pro vs Galaxy S9+ vs iPhone X: camera
The Huawei P20 Pro is a one-of-a-kind smartphone with triple rear photo sensors. DxOMark did not hesitate to give the highest score overall with 109 points. A particularly high score as the Galaxy S9+ topped the lead with a score of 99 at launch. It didn’t take long to see it literally buried by its Chinese rival. According to experts, the iPhone X has 97 points.
Huawei has managed to be impressive especially with its original camera and main photo sensor 40 MP Galaxy S9 + iPhone X is 12 MP.
Huawei P20 Pro and Galaxy S9+ and iPhone X: design
Apple and Huawei have made a rather strange choice by introducing a notch for their smartphones, also called a “notch”. Consumers do not seem to accept this approach. Many of you were featured on this as well during our live hands-on experience with the P20 Pro. This notch allows the front sensors to be placed above the screen while allowing the screen to take up as much space as possible. Samsung differentiates itself with a more classic approach, but probably more elegant in our eyes. The Korean takes the lead in this round.
Huawei P20 Pro vs Galaxy S9+ vs iPhone X: price
The price issue, which is a very sensitive issue for our wallets. iPhone X 1000 Euro, Galaxy S9+ 959 Euro and finally P20 Pro 899 Euro. In all 3 cases, the pain hurts. However, although the flagship has just been launched, Huawei remains the cheapest.
Huawei P20 Pro vs Galaxy S9+ vs iPhone X: and the winner?
According to us,e P20 Pro is arguably the best offer. It is the cheapest and best camera. Its notch display isn’t a strong point, but it’s smaller than its Apple rival. If its raw power isn’t up to par with its competitors’ SoCs, we don’t see any difference in usage. We had the opportunity to meet Kirin 970 several times. Let us know your opinion in the comments.
