    We think Night Mode is the biggest game-changer on the P20 Pro - but what do you think?

    You forgot to mention that in the 4K video, both P20 and P20 Pro are very shaky compared to other flagship phones, for example, both Google Pixel 1 & 2, iPhone 10 and S9 all take better 4K videos than P20 and P20 Pro.

    The screen size is just perfect for 1080p, 4k is overkill for me. 4k also drains battery faster, and you cant really see much difference when comparing the two. Screen is good, and battery life is even better because of that.

    I don't know if it is a S9 killer. For me it isn't. No headphone jack, inferior waterproofing, and no sd card means I am not considering it. It is beautiful and it looks powerful but I don't understand the strategy of the pricing being in the same bracket as the S9 and iPhone. For $700 I might have even considered it but I am not going to import a phone at nearly $900 when I can get an S9+ with warranty for $840

    S9 killer? Only 1 camera has ois, no headphone jack, no micro sd card compatibility, worse software, the notch, worse speaker, bluetooth version is outdated and it's slower Cameras are important, but it shouldn't 100% determine what phone you will get. Most people looking for a phone wants everything to be good (e.x processor, design, screen and so on.) Just because the p20 has a better camera, doesn't mean it's an s9 killer.

The Huawei P20 Pro has other features exclusively belong the Huawei that I liked a lot but the Huawei display in compare to the amoled Samsung display is great to but isn't enough . I will prefer Samsung always because of the amoled display the most important feature to me.

    The S9, as far as I know, uses software stabilization at 4k, so you won't actually get 4k resolution in that mode. In P20 Pro you do, but I'd say no-one at no-point in no-time would ever need 4k videos, especially on smartphones for any other reason than bragging rights.

    I was also troubled with the excessive smoothing and sharpening. Especially when other reviewers thought competitors grainy, normal images were somehow worse. That's not the case; we are removing information here. That's why I though "why not always use 40mpx mode since it removes all these obstacles", but then you cannot zoom, so I guess I'm stuck... I hope I can deal with it eventually.

  • @zombielinkinpark
    @zombielinkinpark6 жыл бұрын

    The entire review sounded more like a paid review then an actual analysis to the phone. The P20 pro camera is great but overly aggressive denoise filter will cause information loss which by all means is can't be invariable by algorithms unlike pixel 2 approach which can apply the same denoise filter later to achieve similar result. Therefore, it's even not comparable to pixel 2. Also, I think you failed to mention that the AIS is only available to 1080P mode rather then the 4K which almost every flagship phone today does.

    The only reason Huawei lacks in being a top selling smartphone company is that it doesn't listen to consumers properly. If Huawei puts 6+ Inches - 2K/4K Super AMOLED bezel less Display, 4000+ mAh Battery, Leica Triple Camera (As shown in P20 Pro), Expandable storage slot upto 200GB, IP68 (Not 67) Certification, In-Display fingerprint scanner, 6/8 GB RAM + 64GB as a base variant, Hisilicon Kirin 980 chip for their next flagship Huawei Mate 20 Pro and all that with price tag of $1000 then people will be ready to com out of Echo-System whether its Apple, Samsung, LG or HTC.

Will the phone adapt and change what it's suggesting or the rendering to please my taste? Or is the AI actually not intelligent in the sense that it learns from my decisions when taking photos? Thanks!

    People are calling S9+ the “complete package” lol. Had my S8+ start lagging in 6 months. Same happened to a lot of other users including Erica Griffin whose review you guys who’re spectacle about my comment can watch. S9+ will share the same fate. New toy which looks good from the outside until you really dig deep to find many flaws. Had my burn ins in about 4.5 months at the corner of the screen. Display is nice, but impractical. I’d rather have bezels to hold my phone than cover my screen with my hands whilst consuming media, not to mention the god damn bloat ware which actually slowed my S8+ down. I’d rather have a flagship which can last me 4 years at least if not 5 years than buy a new looking toy which ages horribly

    My S8+ lags a fair bit due to the sheer amount of features that the phone runs that (bixby etc.) which I hardly if ever use. Moved to the P20 Pro with the gimmicks that I actually enjoy using. Loading Android Auto on the P20 Pro is absolutely wayyyy faster on this than the S8+ simply due to the lean EMUI software. Knuckle tap to screenshot is the best thing ever with Scroll screenshot that actually works unlike the S8's.

    Most people don't buy a phone based solely on camera performance. P20 Pro has no wireless charging, the display is only 1020p and of course has the"notch" copied from Apple, in addition to last year's chipset. Did I mention no headphone jack? Hello dongle, lol. I'll take my S9+ all day over this king wannabe.

    Every reviewer hating on samsung just because they didn't show a phenomenal change on the s9 when they were doing that for the past smartphone years. P20 pro is a great phone but you can't say that it's an s9 killer just because samsung didn't introduce innovation. I never saw reviewers complain this much on iPhones before. Well, that's my comment.

    Have had the phone a while and have to agree with Kris about subjectivity of photo quality. I have no camera that can do perfect photos, but I have a cheap superzoom that is acceptable to my budget. This p20 pro is a super value bc now I can afford to get shots I never could before, even if they are not the same as a DSLR. It's a game changer for me. And come to think of it, you can't get these 10x zoom photos on ANY other phone.

    The S9 has a much better design with no notch, the absolute best display on any smartphone and not covered by a notch, an equally impressive camera and just about the same real world day to day performance, not to mention an SD card slot. So, despite the sensationalist claim, there is actually no real way the P20 Pro could be considered an "S9 killer", no matter how good a phone it is on its own.

    I decided to watch the whole video before commenting and you missed mentioning the price which is about $1,100 US. While I certainly did enjoy the review you gave for the camera, the video seemed to be biased, overall. That being said, I do admit that I am surprised that the phone can't record in 4k 60fps with all of that going for it. The phone seems pretty great for the camera (which is the main focus) but is not a S9 killer as it is standard for the rest of the phone. So if you are crazy about the camera then go ahead and buy it but if not, there are better alternatives out there including the S9.

    I don't even like Samsung phones like this, but this is not a flagship killer. A flagship killer would have to offer all features. No expandable storage, no headphone jack. Its camera in a variety of scenarios don't even stack up to a single lens, 12 MP Pixel 2 XL. Overall, the S9+ is less saturated than this. So no. This is not better value for money. Love how most of this review was about the camera, not about software and things that actually matter.

    This phone kills the S9+! I mean, the processor is slower than a S8, the screen is 4 years behind the S9, the speakers are worse than the S9, no headphone jack, no curved screen, worse aperture for the camera, you have to suck up EMUI that is utterly awful, brings worse accessories and no cover included on the box although 200 euros cheaper huaweis bring them, you have to carry a iPhone X clone but with 3 cameras, worse water resistance, no wireless charging, camera works very well only in some situations, worse design, crap for VR, and so on. But guys, the color is really cool and the camera says 40mp! The battery is really good if you want to use your phone for a day and a half instead of a full day with battery to spare! Like, everyone needs more than 6 hours SOT on a 16 hour day with 15 to 20% battery to spare! Did I talk about the notch? It has a really cool notch for when you want to see the image of the battery charge! Can't really show the percentage because of it, but it's so cool! This review is totally unbiased and unsponsored! I BELIEVE HIM AND SO DOES EVERYONE WHO HAS HAD MULTIPLE FLAGSHIPS! GO HUAWEI! well, go home Huawei, you are drunk. #HuaweiAuthority

    The triple camera is the best. It allows to add DSLR-style depth and offer a 5x hybrid and 3x optical zoom. There’s also a F1.6 aperture which helps shoot photos when the lights get low and the inclusion of the incredible Night Mode. I will say much better than S9.
