Matthew Moniz Much better comparison than P20 PRO vs. Pixel 2! Finally we see Night mode and HDR in action. Thank you :) Only thing missing is now zoom comparison, S9+ would most likely win that one over P20. But what about comparison with 3x optical zoom and 5x hybrid zoom on P20 PRO in various light conditions? :) Of course both S9+ and P20 PRO would totally destroy Pixel 2 when it comes to any zooming. So when you are on concert or taking pictures of wild animals or taking pictures of architecture and monuments or just photos of people without intruding into their activity, you are pretty much out of luck without any optical zoom.
Matthew Moniz Also Huawei made huge fuzz about capturing sharp photos of fast moving objects with 4D AI driven focusing system. Wondering how that would compare to Pixel 2, S9+ and Iphone X. Not many people seems to do this kind of fast object photo capturing comparison between phones and later consumers cry, when they buy phone that captures blury photo of their kids or pets. :)
Matthew Moniz Think I'd go with the P20 on this one. The night shots and the more detail it brings on the photos with no overexposure makes it better than the Galaxy S9+ camera.
Absolutely love this comparison! U did a great job comparing them and I think the p20 just edges out the s9+ especially at night and with the portrait mode😄 but id love to see the p20 go against the pixel 2 and see the results at night -- with portrait mode too cus they do seem like they'd be similar!! Hope to see this comparison soon👌🏻😁
THE SAMSUNG GALAXY S9 + IS, NO DOUBT, THE BEST SMARTPHONE IN THE WORLD! A smartphone is not a camera or a movie! It's much more than that. And the Galaxy S9 + (by Samsung) has softwate and hardware far superior to the Chinese Huawei 20 Pro. (For shooting, I have a Nikon D810 + 3 original "Nikkor" lenses).
please tell me next time you take your D810 in your pocket to snap around. and what is the purpose of a smartphone other than phoning gaming and photoshooting? i think i miss something? oh an Organiser and as GPS , but where does the S9+ Performe better? hey one more thing the S9+ is 300 to 400 $ more expensive than the P20 man.
Nobre Luso s9 best smartphone? I highly doubt that. A phone isn't just about the features it offers, it's also about reliability. Samsung is still far behind when it comes to battery life. Huawei have figured it out and believe me there's a miles difference between them when it comes to battery endurance.
@@jimun15 Excellent point. Huge price difference. I own the P20 and I can tell you performance wise is excellent. Samsung does have the better display, but I am completely satisfied with the P20's screen.
himanshu bisht Even in his p20 pro vs pixel 2 XL camera comparison the results were off aswell! The p20pro did much worst! It even had a purple tint that I haven't seen in other comparisons...
Administration S-6 he used p20 not pro . There is lots of difference in their camera specs... And in this review he switch off hdr in s9 and then turned it on ... On both smartphones .. as u know p20 don't have auto hdr .. ! And p20 nailed it
Administration S-6 u think he is biased then see someone's review who uses HDR .... Watch any review night photos are best .. optical zoom is best .. only weak point is dynamic range because it doesn't have auto hdr and he used hdr .. And video stablization is way bad in 4k . But photos no other phone takes better yet !
Watching this with my huawei p20. In my opinion, it's been over than a month since i have this phone and it's a bit weird because in contrary of what everyone says, i'm kinda disappointed of the camera. I mean, i took some shots and if we have a look, we can see that the details are sometimes quite not good. The problem is when you take a photo of a landscape, details which are very far away are not precised at all and you can see it if you zoom on your photo. I don't have that problem if i take a flower though. It really depends. We can see some noise too with the night shots sometimes because of the night mode. Sometimes, we better take night pictures without the night mode, it has a better result :) But besides, i love my phone, he's super fast and still takes good photos! (sunset mode is AMAZING), I highly recommend this phone
I so appreciate that you also cover P20, not just P20 Pro, because I personally believe P20 also may potentially provide quite good value for money, of course depending on the price on your market. Thank you, Mathew. Also,
Great video! Camera comparisons between the p20 and the p20pro would be very appreciated. About the style, there are so many videos online where two pictures are shown side by side and there is some music playing... i hate those, it is soo much better to have someone who knows what he is talking about explaining why certain shots turn out the way they do, thats how we learn about the cameras and what they can and cannot do. Please keep this up! Thanks
Don't underestimate the p20 Vs the p20 pro, it's arguably better despite that third lense. The only thing the pro beats it in is that 4k cinematic function
himanshu bisht it is nowhere near a beast the s9 is better not to mention the p20 and the p20 pro has a 40 mp camera when it not like u would think super saf nailed the camera comparison and he shows the s9 is better
Kenneth raiford does supersaf doing comparison makes s9 better ???? And the thing is p20 doesn't have auto hdr like s9that's y ut lacks dynamic range .. but in this review he turned HDR on ..and it's better that way ..and its zoom is better night photos are best till date .. !! Its a detailed comparison and p20 won it !
Kenneth raiford and use the 40 mp mode in daylight and see the details .. supersaf did mention that u can crop in much further in p20 than s9 .. what else u need to see to accept p20 is much better if someone knows how to use its camera app!
I like how people saying s9 is better. Wait until the note 9 comes out and then more phones to come to own the s9. Then it will quietly drift away unheard of after a couple of months. And no one will be talking about it anymore. Sorry Samsung fanbois, you are drunk.
1:50 - A wider aperture has a shorter focal plane, so it's natural for the clouds of the S9 Plus to have less detail because they are further out of focus. The P20 was the clear winner in the low light shots. I knew the S9 Plus was pretty good at low light, but not as good as the HTC U11 Plus. In video, the stabilization is better on the P20 in 1080p, but forget doing anything with 4k!
You did it right this time.. obviously Huawei nailed it with photography.. but still behind in videography.. partnership with companies like Leica or Carl ziess will always pay off.
I prefer S9+ because it's an allround phone. Live focus of portrait mode can do a much better job. Maybe you did something wrong, I don't know. Seen a lot of comparisons and S9 is much sharper than your example. In my opinion there's also to much over sharpening and over saturation. Lot of people will like this but it's too much for me. Samsung was always criticized because of this. Nightmode on P20 is very nice feature but if you look closely you see two things happening. One: colors are not realistic and sometimes washed out. Two: Exposure is better but image isn't sharp anymore. You can see it on the picture of the house. Probably because of the longer exposure. I've seen it on other videos too and some reviewer say that it's a hit'n miss with Nightmode because you have to hold it steady and most of the times there are moving objects in the scene which will look blurry. But HDR does a great job. In SuperSaf's review you see what I mean.
Garret141076 You're right S9+ is currently more polished. Anyway it is more or less 3rd iteration of same design, minus new variable aparature and stereo speakers. But P20 PRO certailny have more potential with future SW updates. Because of camera HW it packs. So it depends how Huawei will handle those.
*WTF?* does having punchier colors equal more dynamic range, when did HDR meaning changed? 0:24 the only difference i see is that exposure on s9 is more otherwise i could seemore details in s9 shadows because of higher exposure but i do like the p20 image more If you want to compare Dynamic Range then fix either higher( or lower) exposure level in both images and seee the details in Lower(or higher) exposure
Hey Matthew, great video..I have the Pro.. and I agree with you... the Pro has to be learned & can sometimes be a bit challenging when taking images.. if your in the US, then the mate 10 pro has a fantastic point & shoot similar to and sometimes better than the p20 plus stereo speakers on the mate & US carrier support... and it's cheaper now too.. Im in UK & I have 14days to choose this phone, but I'm considering the M10P... the 20pro is awesome but camera is a little OTT
@ 1:39 if the s9 is in "auto mode" then it definitely took that shot in F2.4. The S9 will always favor the F2.4 unless in dark environment or manually force to open @ F1.5 in Pro Mode.
There's a huge difference in price between the p20 and p20 pro, personally I dont think the oled screen and extra ram justifies it costing twice as much. The p20 pro comes with a premium price tag
Interesting video and I own the P20 and it's impressive. I mostly use p20 for Astrophotography and it's superb for that. I went to Glencoe near Fort William to test camera under very dark sky and wow it's was incredible so many stars and under dark sky it was fantastic. I even tried star trails mode and that was impressive. P20 is far better than samsung s7 for astrophotography because s7 couldn't handle it. I'm going.to do more star trails with p20 to get that perfect astrophoto with star trails. Durening summer last year I took shots of the milky way through Cygnus and turned out great. P20 is superb for astrophotography and I took some professional shots of the milky way using the mountains at Glencoe.
Hey! I only want to say that I LOVE your videos! Although I'm from austria I don't know a better technic (??) youtuber that you. Thank you that you're making TH-cam! I hope my english is good enought that you understant what I am writing😁
In some of the photos, if you took the P20 name plate and changed it to Pixel 2 I would actually believe it. They even have the same slightly cooler tone and that thing at night where you can perfectly see the neon signs. Good stuff.
Great comparison ! Just wondering if the p20 pro offers any means for adjusting the degree of sharpening and the brightness of shadows , e.g. in the pro mode.
Maxence Puffer huawei got caught cheating on camera and display in china although all chinese keep quiet in youtube..do you trust this kind of company and youtubers whom huawei probably paid like this one? Not me
THE SAMSUNG GALAXY S9 + IS, NO DOUBT, THE BEST SMARTPHONE IN THE WORLD! A smartphone is not a camera or a movie! It's much more than that. And the Galaxy S9 + (by Samsung) has softwate and hardware far superior to the Chinese Huawei 20 Pro. (For shooting, I have a Nikon D810 + 3 original "Nikkor" lenses).
Both phones are miles ahead of my old J5 but I'm going to record lots of high-res video when I travel abroad so I feel like the image stabilization of 4K recording is more important to me. Got the 64GB S9 for €410. I do like the P20 though. Tough call!
Silvio Britto actually bro p20 pro can't beat the s9+, since it has too much powerful hardware, & processor is not yet fully capable & including the software is not perfectly ready
They both seem to be equal. I think it sort of comes down to personal preferences. I would pick the P20, but that doesn't make it better, just my preference.
Again it's how you use it sometimes you only have to move slightly and you will get an even better photo. The pro looks amazing. I've tried using huawei and there not bad and in sure you will get used to it. For me I would still buy the s9 plus. I'm not a huge photographer and it takes beautiful pictures even tried video and slow mo for the first time and turned out brilliant so am happy. Interesting video thanks
In almost every picture comparsion, I liked the P20 shots better. So I'd go with the P20, unless I want to use my phone as a 4K recording device exclusively.
Even tho images look just a bit better on P20, but video department S9 just kill P20. S9 will give u best overall camera performance. However it is good to see that flagship killer phone getting close to real flagship phone camera quality. P20 is the most beautiful phone yet. Wow! that twilight color is awesome! 😘👍😍
Matthew I was wondering if you could do me and probably all of us a favor. Could you a do review on cloud gaming? Like Geforce Now and Shadow Blade, they just sound too good to be true for the price and specs, i would appreciate it.
You should compare p20 pro to the s9 +. Price wise, they are more comparable. P20 Pro has 3x optical and 5x hybrid zoom. That's superior and more flexible than s9 +.

Nobre Luso man relax just relax take a deep breath 1.p20 pro is cheaper and has free headphones worth 300 dollars 2. It's software and hardware is great yes it's not as good in the terms of benchmarks but day to day use won't find a difference 3.features in both phones are almst the same
If you like using phone for photos you need a battery that can see you through a day and p20 delivers that. Although smaller than p20 pros and only lcd I've usually got 50 percent left at the end of a day. With heavy use maybe 25 percent. Not once has it needed to be charged before bedtime.
Piotr Płonka Who wants to carry gimbal? If small company like Oneplus could fix 4K stabilisation on Oneplus 5, why Huawei would not? It's just a question of if they want to. I have read one unofficial article from guy that went to Paris event that they are already working on 2 to 3 camera updates. So with bit of luck one of them will include 4K stabilisation.
It would be perfect. But still gimbal is a film makers tool becouse You are not able to make shots with hand like with gimbal even with best stabi on phone
This surprised me. I expected any Samsung from s7 upwards to be better than Huawei p20. I'm thinking of getting p20 next after having Sony xperia as my last 4 phones.
I have both and the p20 software is better. Overall I'd say the camera is slightly better but you're not talking by much. Both are very good. Both a little over sharpened. Both could be improved with software especially white balance indoors. And really should have auto hdr option. Night mode is great for situations when standard mode wouldn't manage a decent photo. Or any compact or competitor. You will get more noise the darker it is. You do get better colours on night mode but only for still subjects
Most reviewers take night time shots of random scenery. Most consumers take pics of scenery during the day. Night time shots usually always contain human subjects. Whether it be in bars, restaurants or concert. That would be a better night time comparisons.
so, I saw some other reviews where S9 plus went against Pixel 2 and it was pretty close but overall S9 won in dynamic range and level of details, though many shots were just equal or Pixel 2 was better, still many examples and overall S9 was slightly ahead. Now you have video where pixel 2 obliterates P20 pro in every single image you shown, and now S9 plus gets owned by regular P20,... well, I am not sure what to think, I guess just that cameras are all great in expensive phones. But I dont feel overwhelmed with trust with anyone.
I have P20 and also a Note 8. when I take a picture with the Note 8, I miss the P20, also the battery life is better on the Huawei. If I use the P20, I miss Samsung's Note 8 beautiful screen. This does not mean that the Note 8 can't take amazing shots, because some close up shots and click point and shoot, many times I prefer the Note 8, because the P20 could still end up making blurry out of focus images if you're in the hurry. I think, this is a software issue still, that Huawei still haven't really optimized EMUI on these devices. On camera speed shots , Samsung is a beast. Beside camera and battery , everyday versatility and smoothness, Samsung is still better. Camera and especially night shots is just one thing, not everything. EMUI software is just not cutting it for me, even if I change things in developer options settings to speed it up, EMUI has still a long way to go and I'm saying this who doesn't particularly like Samsung's TouchWiz either, but they really did make it better over the last couple of years. Huawei either needs to drop EMUI or work on it harder to be taken seriously. Anyone on the market for a phone, I recommend either of them, if you prefer large beautiful screens, go with Note 8 or 9, whichever fits your budget, if you don't mind the P20 LCD and want to save some bucks and making really good pictures is priority, then go with P20, if you want even more battery power and like to craft your pictures and don't mind EMUI OS, then go with the Huawei P20Pro.
Prefer the p10 plus has 6 ram,better camera More pixels. 128GB.Headphone input. Stereo sound. Battery last longer. And you can put on more GB (sim card). And it's more water proof than the p20. It has gorilla glass, and it's cheaper.
P20 vs Galaxy S9+ which photos do you like better!?

Lukas Dvorok s9 is 2nd iteration, s8 and s9 look nothing like the s7
I dont take videos too often, I would go for p20.

I like Huawei bcoz I think there should be more competition in the smartphone industry and Huawei is definitely pushing Samsung and Apple
No homo Love you man. No one is doing coverage on the normal P20 so thank you💯👊🏿
Thanks Ben! Might be coming to London in May!
Now I like this review
It's time for you to redo the Pixle 2 vs P20 Pro. The same way you did this one
P20 Pro does a better job than regular P20 with the night mode
That is amazing video bro , nice job !!!!
Huawei is better for me
Maxence Puffer huawei got caught cheating on camera and display in china although all chinese keep quiet in youtube..do you trust this kind of company and youtubers whom huawei probably paid like this one? Not me
^ butt hurt korean spotted haha
In this case you can do the comparison yourself in store bro!
Huawei is the best for this year. Ive done a lot of reviews. That's why i bought huawei p20 for myself.
so how is your p20 going so far ? i am planning to buy one too
Good video, and thank you for not being bias.
Does the P20 have auto HDR on the front and rear cameras? Because i remember the P10 Plus didn't
Good camera comparison, Matthew! P20 looks like a winner here 😉
THE SAMSUNG GALAXY S9 + IS, NO DOUBT, THE BEST SMARTPHONE IN THE WORLD!
A smartphone is not a camera or a movie!
It's much more than that.
And the Galaxy S9 + (by Samsung) has softwate and hardware far superior to the Chinese Huawei 20 Pro.
(For shooting, I have a Nikon D810 + 3 original "Nikkor" lenses).
does night mode on the P20 also take a few seconds? would be better then if you took some photos without night mode for comparison
Both phones are miles ahead of my old J5 but I'm going to record lots of high-res video when I travel abroad so I feel like the image stabilization of 4K recording is more important to me. Got the 64GB S9 for €410. I do like the P20 though. Tough call!
the p20 nightmode has less detail when you zoom in yes where there is light you see a bit more but the texures on everything are blurred
Camera comparisons between the p20 and the p20pro would be very appreciated.is it possible?
I'll see if I can do one for next week
Watching this on my p20 pro 😎
lucky man :)
aldeen1982 me too
Me too
Same
Think you should do a rematch for p20 pro but this time with this format rather than the one in pixel 2 vs p20 pro
Thanks for the suggestion! I just might!
Mathew ....tell me how are you doing with the Chrome Laptop?!
Legit awesome comparison. 💯
How can you be so unbiased... Specially on youtube...! Kudos!
Thanks Utkarsh! = )
Huawei did an absurd job. They so quickly overcome the S9+! Shit, the smallest one (P20) basically won over the s9+! Imagine the P20 Pro!!!
Silvio Britto actually bro p20 pro can't beat the s9+, since it has too much powerful hardware, & processor is not yet fully capable & including the software is not perfectly ready
Silvio Britto p20 did better because it has been perfect hardware & software including processor
udit sanyal ???
Currently rocking a Huawei P20 and photography is astounding and nothing to be picky about it
They both seem to be equal. I think it sort of comes down to personal preferences. I would pick the P20, but that doesn't make it better, just my preference.
P20 👌👌
Ayon Barua ok

Will be my next phone 👌
Hi Matt, are you thinking in a P20 (not pro) review?
Going to combine them together but yes I am !
Again it's how you use it sometimes you only have to move slightly and you will get an even better photo. The pro looks amazing. I've tried using huawei and there not bad and in sure you will get used to it. For me I would still buy the s9 plus. I'm not a huge photographer and it takes beautiful pictures even tried video and slow mo for the first time and turned out brilliant so am happy. Interesting video thanks
Awesome Video as always!!
Thanks man !
Watching from my P20. So proud.
nice video, but you should took an auto mode on P20 during lowlight for comparison with its night mode.
P20 - oversharpening
S9+ - over exposure
In almost every picture comparsion, I liked the P20 shots better.
So I'd go with the P20, unless I want to use my phone as a 4K recording device exclusively.
Even tho images look just a bit better on P20, but video department S9 just kill P20. S9 will give u best overall camera performance. However it is good to see that flagship killer phone getting close to real flagship phone camera quality. P20 is the most beautiful phone yet. Wow! that twilight color is awesome! 😘👍😍
HarD TarGeT actually p20 is not flagship killer its flagship!. flagship killer should be xiaomi or one plus
Would love to see a comparison between P20 (not pro) and Pixel 2
May I ask, did you turn on the AI mode on the huawei that time ?
AI mode is on the entire video
Matthew I was wondering if you could do me and probably all of us a favor. Could you a do review on cloud gaming? Like Geforce Now and Shadow Blade, they just sound too good to be true for the price and specs, i would appreciate it.
I already have a video on GeForce Now on the channel!
Can you make a test P20 vs S10E? .....I can't decide which one to buy!
I doubt Ill have time but I'd go S10E!
u should do vs p20 pro
+1 and compare optical and hybrid zoom as well. :)
Alot of picture comparison videos but the pictures are taken on different angles and can change the quality of the pictures taken.
Please send me the link where you got the laptop.
Are you from Ottawa (Canada)? I recognized a few areas in the photos.
No Toronto
@@MatthewMonizoh ok. Some areas looked really similar to Ottawa. Thanks.
P20 for stills hands down(especially nightshots) and S9+ for video....
Figther pilot71 yup
I like your videos and productivity. Keep it up. This phone is amazing btw..
Thanks Hamza!
What if im using dji osmo mobile for either p20 & p20 pro in 4k resolution . Will it be shaking or no?
You should compare p20 pro to the s9 +. Price wise, they are more comparable. P20 Pro has 3x optical and 5x hybrid zoom. That's superior and more flexible than s9 +.

Nobre Luso man relax just relax take a deep breath
1.p20 pro is cheaper and has free headphones worth 300 dollars
2. It's software and hardware is great yes it's not as good in the terms of benchmarks but day to day use won't find a difference
3.features in both phones are almst the same
Nobre Luso Then the nokia 3210 phones suit you.
which picture resolution should you use on the p20? 12 MP or 20 MP
How about the P20's battery?
Hey Matthew, what kind of laptop you have?
HI Roksana! I mostly use a Surface Book 2. But sometimes I'll use a Pixelbook when I'm at the studio like you saw in this video.
So what u advise p20 or p20 pro or s9+ or waite
is that the dollarama by Eglinton & Mt Pleasant Rd?
If you like using phone for photos you need a battery that can see you through a day and p20 delivers that. Although smaller than p20 pros and only lcd I've usually got 50 percent left at the end of a day. With heavy use maybe 25 percent. Not once has it needed to be charged before bedtime.
S9 in some pics seems like the old first S ! Good for sam going back to them good old days .
My question is, is the pro worth £200.00 more than the standard p20 ?
I know it is a mode, but isn't night mode kind of using a "pro" mode in the s9+? Because it isn't auto, as far as I know, great video btw
João Marta Sanfins - No, not quite. Night mode is like switching on portrait mode. PRO mode needs manual adjustments!
How about such a test P20 Pro vs S9+ both on gimbals and 4K video ?
Piotr Płonka Who wants to carry gimbal? If small company like Oneplus could fix 4K stabilisation on Oneplus 5, why Huawei would not? It's just a question of if they want to. I have read one unofficial article from guy that went to Paris event that they are already working on 2 to 3 camera updates. So with bit of luck one of them will include 4K stabilisation.
It would be perfect. But still gimbal is a film makers tool becouse You are not able to make shots with hand like with gimbal even with best stabi on phone
Huawei needs to improve the video quality of their devices.
Nice comparison anyway
Could've been more fair if it was p20 pro vs s9+
P20 is really great. I just got it and its really amazing. Im totally blown awag by its AI feature.
How does the standard P20 measure up to the standard S9?
Verry nice review. The P 20 Pro is the best.
This surprised me. I expected any Samsung from s7 upwards to be better than Huawei p20. I'm thinking of getting p20 next after having Sony xperia as my last 4 phones.
It'd be interesting to see how the P20 performs against the Mate 10 pro
I have both and the p20 software is better. Overall I'd say the camera is slightly better but you're not talking by much. Both are very good. Both a little over sharpened. Both could be improved with software especially white balance indoors. And really should have auto hdr option. Night mode is great for situations when standard mode wouldn't manage a decent photo. Or any compact or competitor. You will get more noise the darker it is. You do get better colours on night mode but only for still subjects
You can stabilize the footage in google photos!!!!!!!
Most reviewers take night time shots of random scenery. Most consumers take pics of scenery during the day. Night time shots usually always contain human subjects. Whether it be in bars, restaurants or concert. That would be a better night time comparisons.
Matthew Moniz cute unsubcribed
so, I saw some other reviews where S9 plus went against Pixel 2 and it was pretty close but overall S9 won in dynamic range and level of details, though many shots were just equal or Pixel 2 was better, still many examples and overall S9 was slightly ahead.
Now you have video where pixel 2 obliterates P20 pro in every single image you shown, and now S9 plus gets owned by regular P20,... well, I am not sure what to think, I guess just that cameras are all great in expensive phones. But I dont feel overwhelmed with trust with anyone.
tnx for video... amazing huawei p20 pro.... king!
You're welcome!
How do you turn HDR on in the P20???
At last a p20 vid thats actually a p20 and not the pro👍👍 well done mate
It's awesome and very good job on P20 but the disappointed bis shooting 4k with no OIS.
I have P20 and also a Note 8. when I take a picture with the Note 8, I miss the P20, also the battery life is better on the Huawei. If I use the P20, I miss Samsung's Note 8 beautiful screen. This does not mean that the Note 8 can't take amazing shots, because some close up shots and click point and shoot, many times I prefer the Note 8, because the P20 could still end up making blurry out of focus images if you're in the hurry. I think, this is a software issue still, that Huawei still haven't really optimized EMUI on these devices.
On camera speed shots , Samsung is a beast. Beside camera and battery , everyday versatility and smoothness, Samsung is still better. Camera and especially night shots is just one thing, not everything.
EMUI software is just not cutting it for me, even if I change things in developer options settings to speed it up, EMUI has still a long way to go and I'm saying this who doesn't particularly like Samsung's TouchWiz either, but they really did make it better over the last couple of years. Huawei either needs to drop EMUI or work on it harder to be taken seriously. Anyone on the market for a phone, I recommend either of them, if you prefer large beautiful screens, go with Note 8 or 9, whichever fits your budget, if you don't mind the P20 LCD and want to save some bucks and making really good pictures is priority, then go with P20, if you want even more battery power and like to craft your pictures and don't mind EMUI OS, then go with the Huawei P20Pro.
Prefer the p10 plus has 6 ram,better camera More pixels. 128GB.Headphone input. Stereo sound. Battery last longer. And you can put on more GB (sim card). And it's more water proof than the p20. It has gorilla glass, and it's cheaper.
Digging the PixelBook! I want one.
Just one question... what kind of laptop is that ?
Pixelbook
