Comparison: Samsung Galaxy S20 VS Huawei P30 Pro

We have in our hands two of the references of the Android world in general, we have the new Samsung Galaxy S20 5G and with the veteran high-end Huawei P30 Pro. This time we bring you one of our in-depth comparisons of both devices so you can see them in operation face to face. The first, remind you that we have recently analyzed the Galaxy S20 5G so we invite you to our review. And now Stay with us and discover what are the differences between the Huawei P30 Pro and the new Samsung Galaxy S20 to decide which one is better to buy.

Cameras: The real face to face

The cameras are a clear proof of what each of these devices is capable of doing, we start with the hardware that mounts in its camera module the Samsung Galaxy S20 5G:

• Ultra Angular: 12MP - 1,4nm - f / 2.2
• Angular: 12MP - 1,8nm - f / 1.9 OIS
• Telephoto: 64MP - 0,8nm - f / 2.0 OIS
• Zoom: 3x Hybrid - 30x Digital
• Front camera: 10MP - f / 2.2

It's definitely not bad at all These are the photographs that we have taken with the terminal of the South Korean firm:

• Standard: 40MP - f / 1.8 OIS
• Ultra Wide Angle: 20MP - f / 2.2
• Telephoto: 8MP - f / 3.4 OIS
• Zoom: 5x telephoto, 10x hybrid, 30x digital
• Front camera: 32MP - f / 2.0

These are the same pictures Similar ones taken with the Huawei P30 Pro:

Definitely the Samsung Galaxy S20 and the Huawei P30 Pro offer a very similar result in standard photography, while the night mode of the Huawei P30 Pro seems more natural, and the zoom is clearly more defined in the terminal of the Chinese firm. For its part, the Wide Angle of the Huawei P30 Pro is capable of capturing more information and has a ToF sensor that helps define the content in depth.

Multimedia section: Samsung knows what it does

We start with the panel, while Samsung mounts a 6,2-inch Dynamic AMOLED with full resolution QHD + (563PPP) and a refresh rate of 120Hz, inNo products found.and a stagnant refresh rate at the standard 60Hz. They both show full brightness and a very similar fit. As for the sound, both have a hidden upper speaker behind the screen and a very powerful lower speaker, both offer clear and loud sound that provides a great experience.

• Huawei P30 Pro: Dolby Atmos
• Samsung Galaxy S20: HDR10 +

For its part, the fact of having a higher resolution and a lower curvature in the case of the Galaxy S20, personally gives me a somewhat superior user experience when consuming content and interacting with the screen, 120Hz is an important addition that I liked, therefore in the multimedia section the South Korean firm is once again showing its chest and showing that it is very good at it.

Autonomy: Huawei takes the lead

In the technical data, the Huawei P30 Pro mounts a 4.200 mAh battery compatible with 40W fast charging and up to 15W wireless charging, it also allows reverse charging of devices. For his part, the Galaxy S20 has 4.000 mAh and a fast charge of up to 25W and 15W wireless, Like the previous one, it has reverse wireless charging. The Huawei P30 Pro proves to manage better battery consumption, perhaps it has to do with the refresh rate of the screen or the maximum resolution.

Anyway, EMUI 10 has long ago shown that it is capable of managing battery consumption better than OneUI, And it shows that only with 200 mAh more than the P30 Pro has, we have managed to achieve total differences of around 20%, excessive if we take into account the total capacity. The fact of the greater compatibility of fast charges and the durability of it makes the Huawei P30 Pro stand out notably ahead of the Galaxy S20, which has perhaps its Achilles curtain on the battery.

Technical characteristics and user experience

In short, while the brand new Galaxy S20 has its processor Exynos 990 with 7nm and 12GB of RAM in the tested version, the P30 Pro mounts the Kirin 980 also of its own manufacture with 8GB of RAM. Both models tested have 128GB of storage, but the Galaxy S20 can be expanded via microSD while the Huawei P30 Pro only allows it with its own memory cards. The performance in general terms both in video games (PUBG) and in tasks of daily use has been identical, with the exception that we have noticed a more noticeable slight heating in the Galaxy S20.

At the connectivity level, the Galaxy S20 stands out for having 5G technology, While its LTE is Cat.20, in the case of the P30 Pro we don't have 5G but its LTE is Cat.21, at the WiFi level we found exactly the same results at the power and range level in our tests. On the other hand both devices have a fingerprint sensor on the screen, which responds identically at the security level, but the animation of the Huawei P30 Pro is faster, which makes us feel that the reader of the Galaxy S20 is somewhat slower than what is expected in a device with these characteristics.

Prices and where to buy both devices

The Huawei P30 Pro has been on the market for a year, it is true, but it has a very attractive price if we compare it with that of the Galaxy S20.No products found.while the Galaxy S20 5G with 12GB of RAM remains for 1009 euros, That is what makes us doubt the most about the suitability of acquiring one device or another, we hope that with this comparison we have helped you decide.
