- The big phone battle is getting more and more interesting.
We had the S10+ a few weeks ago,
and now we've got the Huawei P30 Pro.
How do these compare, well let's break down
all the key differences SuperSaf style.
Now initially, starting off with the build and design,
both of these have a surprisingly similar build,
and that is a metal frame with
curved glass panels on the front and back.
Now this was a design that was originally introduced
with earlier Samsung devices, and it's something that
Huawei have been doing since the Mate 20 Pro,
and in my opinion it does look very very sleek,
makes the devices a little bit easier to fit in the hand.
Both devices are also IP68 water and dust resistant,
and we've got plenty of color options.
We've actually got a few more color options on the S10+
compared to the P30 Pro, and I don't think you're going to
have any problems finding the right color for you.
Now the S10+ does come in two ceramic options
ceramic black and ceramic white,
these are going to be a little bit more durable,
these are options that you don't have on the P30 Pro.
Now for the displays, we've got
very large displays on both devices,
and they're also very similar in terms of the size.
The S10+ however, has a punchout
for the front-facing cameras, the P30 Pro has a notch
it's a dewdrop notch, it's quite small,
but we do have this difference here.
This is going to come down to your personal preference,
what do you prefer, a dewdrop notch,
or do you prefer the punchout,
let me know in the comments below.
However the S10+ does get a few solid advantages,
and that's firstly because it does have a higher resolution
we've got Quad HD+, versus Full HD+ on the P30 Pro
and it also supports HDR10+, so it's a very very good
display, I'd say the S10+ is probably
the best in the market right now.
Now let's look at the internals.
The P30 Pro comes with Huawei's Kirin 980 processor,
the S10+ comes with either the Qualcomm Snapdragon 855
or the Samsung Exynos 9820, now this is going to depend
on your region, which version of these you get,
I've been testing both of these out and I'll be covering
my experience in my full review which will be coming soon.
If you want to see that first then make sure you have
subscribed, and hit that bell icon so you don't miss it.
Performance wise, both of these are going to be
very very good, I don't think you're going to
have problems with either of these,
one thing however you are going to have to
bear in mind is the differences in software.
Although both of these are running on Android Pie,
you do have different skins, so you've got OneUI
on the S10+, the P30 Pro has EMUI.
Now which one of these is better for you is going to come down
to your personal preference, I'd advise trying
them both out, and seeing which one you like more.
Now when it comes to RAM, both devices
have a base of eight gigabytes, but the S10+ is available
in a 12 gigabyte of RAM version as well.
And storage both also starts at 128 gigabytes,
the P30 Pro maxes out at a 512 gigabyte option,
but with the S10+ you can get up to one terabyte,
now that's absolutely insane on a smartphone,
both devices also have expandable storage, however
you've got a Nano SD card on the P30 Pro whereas
on the S10+ you have a more traditional microSD card slot,
so that is going to be easier to buy and it's going to
be cheaper to buy as well compared to the Nano SD card.
Now let's talk about the cameras.
This is where things get really really interesting.
So the S10+ has a triple rear-facing camera setup
and it's been really really good in my experience so far,
you've got a primary wide-angle camera, 12 megapixels,
and this has a variable aperture so it's going to switch
between f/1.5 and f/2.4 depending on
the amount of light in your scene, there's an ultra-wide
camera which is 16 megapixels with an f/2.2 aperture
and that also works really well,
and then you've got a telephoto camera,
which is going to give you two times optical zoom.
Now the P30 Pro has a similar setup,
but takes things a little further as well.
So the primary camera is 40 megapixels, and while they
call this a SuperSpectrum camera, and that's because
instead of your standard RGB which you find on most
smartphone sensors, this has red, yellow, and blue
and apparently this is going to let in a lot more light.
In addition to that you've got a 20 megapixel ultra-wide
camera which has an f/2.2 aperture, but then
the telephoto camera is very interesting, because
unlike the S10+ which gives you two times optical zoom,
you do have up to five times optical zoom on the P30 Pro
which is absolutely insane, it also has up to
ten times hybrid zoom, and in my experience
it does seem to work really really well.
Now it doesn't stop there, because you've got
four cameras in total, there's also
a time-of-flight camera, this is going to help with
depth information, so lots of cameras here,
of course we're going to have to put these side-by-side
SuperSaf style to see which one of these
is better overall, definitely let me know
if you want to see one of those,
and I'll try to get on to that as soon as possible.
Now when it comes to the front-facing cameras,
the P30 Pro has a 32 megapixel front-facing camera,
the S10+ has two front-facing cameras, one of them
is ten megapixels, and the other is eight megapixels,
but this is going to be used for depth information.
Now we are, once again, going to have to put these side-by-side
to see what the differences are, the S10+ can record
up to UHD 4K from the front-facing camera, this is
something that not many other smartphones can do,
so this is one advantage that you got in the S10+.
Now when it comes to the fingerprint scanners,
both devices have an in-display fingerprint scanner.
You've got an optical fingerprint scanner
however on the P30 Pro, and you've an
ultrasonic fingerprint scanner on the S10+.
Now in my experience, the ultrasonic fingerprint scanner
has traditionally been better than optical fingerprint
scanners, it's more accurate and more reliable, but,
I have had brief testing with the P30 Pro and
it does seem to have been improved compared to
the previous generation that we had on the Mate 20 Pro.
Definitely let me know if you want me
to do a comparison between the two fingerprint scanners
to see which one is more faster and more reliable.
For the audio, the S10+ does have firstly a 3.5mm jack,
as well as stereo speakers, these are things that
we unfortunately don't have on the P30 Pro,
no 3.5mm jack, and we've got a single bottom-firing speaker.
So how do you make calls, well instead of the earpiece,
the screen actually makes tiny vibrations which is
going to give you more isolated sound compared to
the standard earpiece on the S10+, but that is
at the expense of losing that stereo speaker
experience when you are consuming media.
Now for the batteries, we've got very large batteries
on both devices, the P30 Pro does comes with
a slightly larger battery, and we've also got
faster charging on the P30 Pro,
Huawei's SuperCharge 40 watts, and that's going to give you
up to 70 percent in just 30 minutes.
This is not the case with the S10+, it is going to take you
longer, although you do get a fast charger out of the box.
Both devices also support wireless charging which is great,
and they also support wireless reverse charging,
this is where you can use the devices
to charge other Qi enabled devices,
you could kind of like, charge each other as well.
Now I'm not sure of the speed of the P30 Pro as yet,
I did do a speed test for wireless reverse charging
of the S10+ versus the Huawei Mate 20 Pro,
and the S10+ was twice as fast.
Now I'm not sure if this has been increased on the P30 Pro
but I will definitely be doing
some more tests on my full review.
Finally, looking at the pricing, both devices
actually start at the same price, around 900 pounds
for the base 128 gigabyte model, so they are very very
comparable, if you're looking for a new smartphone,
which one of these will you be going for?
Well, there's advantages and disadvantages on both sides,
you are going to be getting overall I'd say a better display
on the S10+, but you are going to be getting
more camera options on the P30 Pro.
Which one of these would you go for?
