pane, 01 Apr 2021the future is the technology of "liquid lenses" in the camera https://newatlas.com/... morenot the future at all, sound and vibrations have a strong effect on liquids, such lens would get different density in form of waves caused by the sound/vibrations, so a no go

Cons :4200 mah battery only for a weight of 209 grs. No stereo speakers for a flagship. Selfie cam is ugly too long like s10 plus.

yes, 12MP by the S20 vs 20MP by the Mi Note10 vs 8MP(or 10MP, one of those was 16:9) by the P40Pro;
in daylight i have not noticed any probs with focusing on any of those phones, but at night only Mi Note10 could focus on objects - or rather light sources that are kilometers away;
P40Pro takes okish pics at night if the objects are close range (max 10meters? less?) , then pics look like taken in daylight, but everything else looks extremely bad.
What i would do, is to put the 108MP into the P40Pro instead of 50MP, reconfigure the camera app from Xiaomi to work on Huawei, and use speakers from some SONY phone = perfect phone;
S20Ultra needs updates, if it gets those, it will be number one along with Mi Note10 if it comes to pic quality at day and night. Too bad i can't put here any samples of the pics.
need to add, the video quality and stabilization @4k on theP40Pro is awesome!

krissy, 25 Mar 2021Mi Note 10 and S20Ultra have the exact same 108MP camera, Mi Note10 takes better pics than S20... moreSamsung s20 ultra and Mi 10 Pro features a similar 108 MP sensor but Samsung not just 4x but 9x -(0.8 µm pixel) pixel binning , accordingly the resulting image is 12 MP large,while mi 10 pro are combined into a single (1.6 µm pixel) 4x pixel binning. The P40 Pro features the brand-new 50 MP RYYB sensor with a size of 1/1.28-inches. It is thus much larger than the one on Samsung’s Galaxy S20 Ultra and comes with a pixel size of 1.22 µm.
The Huawei P40 Pro had trouble focusing on the object in the foreground, Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra and P40 Pro showcased major lack in focus, while Xiaomi’s flagship phone offered the highest level of focus and the most natural color representation in zoom levels
The best portrait photo are captured by the Samsung S20 Ultra, but wide angle photos were unexpectedly poor.
Low-light photography is arguably the toughest and most challenging situation for smartphone cameras, and once again Huawei’s P40 Pro is the king of the hill albeit its Android competitors managed to catch up quite nicely but Huawei’s flagship probably offers the best main camera due to its low noise ratio in low-light scenarios.

Livius, 26 Mar 2021Don't talk if you have no idea what are you talking about. Your comment is just pure BS w... more....destroyed themselves? by all means, the phone is extremely fast, face/figner ID unlocking works not only very well, but very fast and works each time(a lot faster than S20Ultra), it's just the phone gets no updates....
i mean, the rear camera would be more acceptable if the colors were accurate, atm they are not, and while at night you can take pics that rival daylight, it means nothing bcoz if the object is further than like 10meters it can't focus and the pic quality is junk, so only on close range the pics are fine (Xiaomi Mi Note10 can focus at full night on objects like city lights that are few kilometers away, gets colors accurate at night too 👌 no fancy colors or noise that came from who knows where)
i however did not compare selfie cameras, that is not why i buy phones with good rear cameras

JFK, 25 Mar 2021Lul people comparing P40 pro camera to the Trash Xiaomi Mi camera? Did you even watch reviews?... moreDon't talk if you have no idea what are you talking about. Your comment is just pure BS without any argument. You think that a simple thing like the brand name can beat another phone. Your vision is very small to non existang. Look at Tech tablets on Mi 10 Ultra camera and video review and then come back to say something about the quality. At this moment Huawei has destroyed their own phones with the latest updates, reduced the camera performance especially with the front facing camera. You never hold a P40 Pro in your hands not to mention one.

JFK, 25 Mar 2021Lul people comparing P40 pro camera to the Trash Xiaomi Mi camera? Did you even watch reviews?... moreMi Note 10 and S20Ultra have the exact same 108MP camera, Mi Note10 takes better pics than S20 Ultra....maybe an update to the Samsung will change that;
and no, P40Pro takes worse pics from all of these 3 phones i mentioned.
In the 50MP AI mode, when it takes best pics and takes at least 2~3sec when there is enough sunlight VS Xiaomi or Samsung 0.2sec? maybe even less, where the quality is better;
so this is a comparison of a phone that needs few seconds in order to take pics good enough that can be compared to Xiaomi or Samsung;
I got all 3 phones, where P40Pro can't be outran in face ID unlock, and is equally fast as Mate10pro if finger ID unlocking, then Mi Note10, bcoz it's almost as fast as the P40pro, last comes S20 Ultra, bcoz you need a supernova in your face in order to unlock the phone, and finger ID will fail like 4 from 10 tries;
Battery life is best on P40Pro, then S20Ultra ans Mi Note10....but if you torture the phone for 9hrs straight, Mi Note10 will still have few% of the battery left, while S20Ultra and P40Pro are long dead.
if S20Ultra get's finger/face ID fixed, and they get their hands on the camera software from Xiaomi, then the S20Ultra will be the best phone on the market....iPhone with it's best phone, can not beat any of the mentioned phones, not even P40pro if it comes to pic quality, hardware or software.....bit iPhone 12 has been optimized to play media longer, therefor even with smaller battery it can be worthy opponent to Mi Note10or S20Ultra

i have set the colors to 'vivid' and blue light filter is off, as well no eye protection or whatever it's called. But still, finger ID/face ID works much faster than on any other phone, and the screen is very fast. And here i am curious, does yours take pics with strange colors? like it's way different than what you see, and the phone does that on almost all cameras/settings, except for the 'wide' in the default 'photo mode' . I don't like that at all, it changes colors on everything.

Shui8, 16 Mar 2021Great. After your statement about bad camera on P40, now a weak screen? Perfect. Nice bedtime ... morekeep on living in your fantasy world, and no, after i trashed the P40Pro i ordered S20 Ultra, it has same camera as Mi Note 10, but it's faster;
and your facts remain theory until you own all phone i mentioned 😏
it's like you are arguing that Audi RS5 is faster than TT RS based on seeing it from miles away, but to never have driven it before as a daily car.
i mean, it is sad, you buy P40Pro thinking it beats other phones as easily as the P8 to P10 did, and then you take a single pic, and all your experience with huawei suddenly has zero value.
Battery optimization is still better than Mi Note 10, but sound quality is way too far from good. It's like partially downgrading or not upgrading at all.

bobi757, 15 Mar 2021Bro are you high ??? P40 Pro is of course better then Mi Note 10 Pro !P40 is better. Those 'quotes' I put are from the Krissy guy/lady.

Your explanation on previous post regarding on how camera catches light, how high res on Quad bayer sensor works, are wrong, entirely. So as I said, I dont care what you do for a living because at the moment your knowledge, explanation about camera are too far fetched.
Basic thing is, P40 are way better than Note 10. U stick with your wrong points, I'll remain mine by the facts.

and just today, the screen on the P40Pro broke after a fall from like 10cm, it was even in it's silicon case, and the hit went through the case and shattered the screen;
i can't even remember how many times i dropped Mi Note 10 from higher places.
This phone is a fail....if not for the face ID/fingerprint that unlocks the phone quickly.
