      nakicccc, 15 Oct 2018Cant wait to watch monster Mate 20 Pro destroying them both.One thing I would like to "see" is Huawei improving sound quality.
      Their current "flagship" sounds really terrible, close to older iPhones ... :(

      Sooo Huawei might have slightly better image quality, but Samsung will destroy it in sound recording department.

        And not one video, that can be used to compare AUDIO quality.
        Is it really that hard to point the camera at a person and ask him to read something?
        Or use it at anything but ... wind, or cars passing by.

            You need to do this shootout between the iPhone XS and the Pixel 3 once you have it!

              That is why people should stop watching those YouTubers. They say same things all the time.

              "A has more details in the shadow than B".
              "C has natural colours, but I prefer punch colours of D"

              Natural is what you daily see with your eyes, so if you do not like things the way your eyes see them you have issues..
              World would be ridiculous if it was like P20 Pro AI , saturation to the extreme!!!

              I would never give bias opinion in exchange of pre-sale units to review nor gifts ...

                Anonymous, 16 Oct 2018You get what you pay for. So iPhone all the way! With cheaper phones comes lower quality. Says a fanboy. Surely apple made trillions because of people like you. Come on, are you somehow a shareholder of apple? Blind follow suits them, not customers.

                    alski10, 15 Oct 2018Well, I dont think it will do better than the Pixel 3. Lets just say that it will have better camera, better cpu and gpu, better display, faster charging, fastest wireless charging, under display fingerprint but yeah, wont do a lot better than pixel hehe

                        Xhxhyy, 16 Oct 2018Wrong color and overexposed image. That's a galaxy camera trademark.Noise, blurr, bland colors have always been apple trademarks now that they added #beautygate..how weird do those porcelain doll selfies look?!

                            It has nowhere near the usability, flexibility and capability as a serious photo/video tool for a photography/videography oriented smartphone user as the Note 9.

                              Samsung at this point will lose significantly since Samsung does not care about quaility and how much time a phone will still be usable. Recently Samsung flagships Note7/S8/Note8 either get in fire either get broken after 1 year of usage...

                                So apple has put a good camera in their phones? After years of lying they finaly did it...but it ain't great, it's only good. And to think this type of quality was a looong time ago achived by other.

                                    Just saying, having a pro mode on Note 9 can fix those few minor flaws on what gsmarena has mentioned, when I used xs max it did not have any pro mode options in their camera. I do not think they have it till now

                                      Hi GSMArena,

                                      You said that Samsung is perfecting its dual camera game but let's agree to disagree as Samsung Galaxy A7 & A9 are here :)

                                        Both are stuck in hardware limitation..

                                        P20 Pro and upcoming Mate 20 Pro have 1/1.7". This is twice the size of 1/2.55".
                                        Xz2 Premium has monochrome to absorb three times the amount of light compared to the RGB sensors of same size.

                                        Stacking is not going to help against these 3 phones. Note even counting the motion blur issues of
