OnePlus 6 vs Huawei P20 Pro vs Galaxy S9+: performance

Like many flagships released in 2018, the OnePlus 6 is based on the powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 SoC and 6/8GB RAM. Smartphone fluent, fast, efficient… In short, the bet depends on the brand. Opposite the Qualcomm SoC we find Samsung’s in-house component Exynos 9810 SoC, which equips the Galaxy S9 sold in the European market.

The benchmarks prove it: two SoCs are equal. Note, however, the lightness of OnePlus’ OxygenOS skin. More flexible and better integrated than the Korean manufacturer’s Samsung Experience skin, it stands out as the asset that makes all the difference.

comes later Kirin 970 powering the Huawei P20 Pro. A true UFO is the first SoC equipped with an NPU (Neural Processing Unit) dedicated to artificial intelligence. In terms of raw power, the Chinese processor is no match for the previous two SoCs. In use, we will only notice a few differences. Yet the Kirin 970 manages to hold its own by adapting to your uses and habits.

In the field of autonomy, 3 smartphones are not worthless. 3 devices really reach a day and a half with heavy use. The P20 Pro stands out a bit, especially thanks to its 4000 mAh battery and artificial intelligence integration, and lasts up to 2 days of autonomy. The OnePlus 6 surprises thanks to the fast charging Dash Charge V2, which allows you to recover a day’s autonomy in 20 minutes of charging. This is simply the best fast charging on the market.

The 3 smartphones in this comparison are enhanced with:elegant design and beautiful frameless displays. Design-wise, it’s still pretty simple to decide between them: if the notch bothers you, go for the Galaxy S9+. This is one of the most beautiful AMOLED displays on the market. For now, Samsung’s Infinity Displays don’t really have their equals yet.

If you don’t mind the notch, you can opt for the OnePlus 6 or Huawei P20 Pro. It will also be reminded the notch can be easily camouflaged with a software option. Personally, my preferences go more to the OnePlus 6 and its all-glass shell. This is a completely subjective opinion. I find this look more high quality and assertive. Objectively, the P20 Pro does not deserve it with its original colors and the presence of a fingerprint sensor on the front. Personally, I find this position much more practical from the rear.

Thanks to the triple Leica rear photo sensor and artificial intelligence integration, the Huawei P20 Pro stands out as the best photophone on the market. The Huawei P20 Pro also benefits from an outstanding score of 109 points in DxOMark. Despite its dual variable aperture sensor, the Galaxy S9+ can’t compete with Huawei’s latest vintage model.

The same observation for the OnePlus 6’s dual photo sensor is no match for the P20 Pro, if it succeeds in super shots and is even more promising than the brand’s other models. Artificial intelligence is what makes the difference. In this way, the smartphone adapts to your shots, the subject you are about to photograph, and automatically changes your settings. If you are a photography enthusiast, worry no more: choose the P20 Pro. If the price of this is a bit too high for your budget, keep in mind that the standard Huawei P20 doesn’t fail in the photography field either, despite the lack of a 3rd sensor.
