right well today we're going to have a game of spot the difference can you tell
the difference between these two phones one of them is the Huawei P 30 light and
the other one is the honor 20 light let's find out how they're different to
each other although I'll put you out of your misery this one here in the phantom
blue color is the honor 20 light and the one we've got in black here this is the
honor sorry it's the huawei P 30 light so both of them are brand new phones
brand new mid range bones and they look very very similar to each other they are
subtly different so hopefully this will come out on camera but the screens are
actually slightly different size the P 30 lights screen is actually very
slightly smaller at 6.15 inches that's the one in my right hand and the honor
screen is 6.21 inches so to be honest because I've got basically the same
resolution you're not going to notice the difference in day to day you say
both IPS screens oddly enough the the P 30 light has a
different aspect ratio it's nineteen point three to nine where is the honor
is nineteen point five to nine you can see that the way that each company has
designed their phone it's very very similar with that dewdrop knotch
with the selfie camera in it looking very very similar you've got a very thin
speaker just above it again which is a tiny detail that you can probably just
about make out on your screen and then on the bottom edge you'll see one major
difference here you can see that both of them have got the much-loved headphone
jack and another speaker but what the biggest difference is of course the USB
jack so on the more expensive huawei phone you've got a USB C and on honest
phone you've got micro USB now if we turn around to the back you can see that
the camera setups and the where the fingerprint is sensor is located is
pretty much exactly the same when you look at the finer details
cual ways camera assembly just sticks out very slightly if I just turn them
round so that you can see them there's a is
it's hard to say again on camera but you can really feel the difference and it
means that when you put the huawei down on the desk it rocks a lot more
than the honor phone because you can I don't know if you can see how much it's
actually rocking there but it's quite annoying if you're not going to use it
with the case whereas there's almost no rocking on the honor phone so looking at
the internal specs these are incredibly similar phones they both use the Kirin
710 processor and both have 128 gig of storage now the only real difference is
that the Huawei phone has got 2 gig more RAM at six gigs and the honor phone
both offer expandable storage through a microSD card
so really the fact is you're not really going to notice that extra 2 gig unless
you're really using loads of browser tabs so almost no difference there the
real difference comes in those cameras so if we flip it back to the to the rear
the main camera even though it's a triple set up here really it's a dual
setup because both of those top cameras are 2 megapixel depth sensors and that
means that you can't actually take photos with it they're just there for
the the portrait the blurry background that you see when you use a portrait
mode the third camera on each phone is an ultra wide and that's an 8 megapixel
so effectively even though you can see that they're very slightly different the
cameras are slightly further apart on the honor phone they essentially give
you the same shooting modes so you've got the same capabilities oddly enough
we noticed that on the on the huawei phone and we haven't had these phones
for very long with we're not we haven't fully tested them yet so we're just
giving you our initial impressions really but on the huawei phone you can
go to 2 x in the camera app so if I just fire that up you'll see that it looks as
if they've got a you've got a 2x telephoto lens so you can see the 1X
on both phones and on the quad way I can actually go to 2 X but that is simply a
digital zoom it's so the extra length is not telephoto it's just a depth sensor
there is one of the main difference and that is that in the Huawei box you get a
quick-charge adapter so that means that it will charge a little bit faster than
the honor foam which doesn't really offer quick charging that's going to
help obviously if you need to recharge the battery it's going to be a little
bit slower on the on the phone but because the honor is it's two hundred
and forty nine pounds in the UK and the Huawei is 329 pounds it means that your
your choice between these two phones is really whether you want to spend the
extra eighty pounds on a USB C port or you don't mind that and you don't you
don't you're not fully USB C-d up and therefore you can live with a microUSB on
the on the phone and of course there is a the looks as well because the Huawei
does not come in this phantom blue color which hopefully that comes across on the
camera quite well I mean you can see hopefully that is quite a fingerprint
magnet as my fingerprints are all over it already but these are that lovely
sort of blue to purple gradient looks good in the flesh and hopefully you can
see that there's kind of a sort of an iridescent to it as well
they're both plastic plastic backs at this price are not glass so you don't
quite get the premium build that you would get on a on an expensive phone but
the point is these are budget phones so our initial impressions are they both
look like good phones but you're probably going to want to spend the
extra on the who are way if you want the USB C port if you don't mind that and
you don't need that then you're gonna save a lot of money by going for the
honor
