Just the whole thing and it never seems to run out of juice. Big tick.

Shanti Dope, 15 Apr 20191 - True, but Kirin 980 isn't "dominantly" better than SD845. 2 - Yep, that's right.For everyday use I can't tell the difference on the CPU unless you doing something extreme. So 980 or SD845 is good enough for me.

No.

No, Exynos is wo... moreSd855>>kirin 980>sd845>exynos 9820
Kirin 980 is actually better than sd845 while exynos 9820 is weaker than sd845 and can't be even comparable to sd855
Exynos 9820 is built on older 8nm architecture and older A75

You see... Pros and cons.. Dont know why is always colour arrangement under pros, if in my country there is always one or two mainstream colour available. Thats only giving more to pros than cons to balance it out.

Nick Tagataka, 15 Apr 2019Huawei has already included the color temperature sensor on P30 Pro, and some people are alrea... moreYes it did improve to an extent, but given the AI, I believe they could still improve the white balance, considering it could apply color corrections on specific parts of the image.
Monochrome will definitely not comeback on Huawei phones as they have found no good use of it (I mean it did allow them to be this powerful in smartphone camera game, but they didn't successfully do it right like how Sony did on their first try) and I guess this RYYB setup will remain for the next couple of generations, as I could see that Huawei will be focusing on improving the telephoto camera the most.
I don't think RYBW/RGBW will be as effective at improving low light performance quite as much as monochrome + RGB combo would. Regarding the aligning problems, I suppose that a slightly different focal length would aid the problem.
Say, for instance, the RGB sensor will be 25mm, while the monochrome will be 27mm, and when the images captured by the two will be combined, the RGB image will be cropped to the same focal length as the monochrome and overlay them accordingly. And now that's 3x more light being collected. You would get a slightly narrower FoV end-result, but the overall image will be worth it.
About IMX666, it may not be actually named that way, but there's definitely a sensor with similar specs to that, and it could make its way on a new Xperia flagship.

I heard that there's finally RAW capturing support on Xperia 1 (I read it somewhere, but not sure of it) so that could potentially help us to see how good the Xperia 1's camera hardware really is.
And not carrying the 'Premium' branding indicates that the Xperia 1 is not Sony's best yet, which means there could be that one Xperia model with camera system that would rival the one on the P30 Pro and possibly even the Mate 30 Pro as well.
Add 5G modem and large battery to it and we now have a phone to beat in 2019!

Shanti Dope, 13 Apr 2019RYYB is okay, but to correct the colors, Huawei should've also gone for a RGBC-IR sensor like ... moreHuawei has already included the color temperature sensor on P30 Pro, and some people are already reporting that the color balance/saturation has been improved through the latest software update. I haven't received one on my P30 yet, but surely the update will be pushed to the non-pro model as well.
It is unlikely that the monochrome sensor will make a comeback to Huawei phones in future. No matter how good the image fusion algorithms are, the aligning errors cannot be solved completely, and at this point it already feels like RGBW sensor will be the better solution all things considered. Heck, you can even speculate that Huawei decided to stick with marginally more light-sensitive RYYB sensor this time around so that they can use RGBW/RYBW sensor next year, but who knows? Oh, and as for IMX666 sensor, I don't think it exists, just like IMX607 didn't.

You will miss though hi res option, zoom and maybe even superb iso. Depends on what you prefer.
Still most of users see it like this: camera ads everywhere + reverse charging + great endurance. I'm all for QHD++ screen, but not everyone is like that, it's on last place after all of that...

Phones with stock Android are usually plagued with bugs and glitches especially at launch, and as proven by some older Pixel phones stock Android isn't that good when it comes to long-term UI performance. Pixels are good for diehard Google fans but other companies such as Apple or Samsung offer more rounded user experience for average consumer.
P30 Pro comes with better SoC and battery life as well, and "much better microphone and earpiece"? Where did you even get that information from?

I would even want such specs on full size camera, but last time I seen it in 5000€ range, It's just worthy the price...

nick, 15 Apr 2019Main camera in the P30 has older IMX600 sensor, P30 Pro has newer IMX650. P30 phones BOTH use the same new IMX sensor with RYYB array
Their only difference is the presence of OIS and a brighter f/1.6 lens on the Pro

nick, 15 Apr 2019Main camera in the P30 has older IMX600 sensor, P30 Pro has newer IMX650. Both P30 & P30 Pro using new Sony IMX650, both are RYYB sensor. IMX600 using RGB sensor. The only difference are Pro version has OIS.
