[Huawei P30 Pro Questions & Answers] warea:
My Mate 10 and P20 pro are on April security patch update as well. Android P rolled on P20 pro 1st week of january whereas on the S9+ end of January. (Link, Link)

P30 pro has the best night shots, telephoto lens and TOF camera. Hardware wise the P30 pro is clearly better and future proof than S10+ camera. DxOMark rate the P30pro higher than S10+ whereas it is the S10+ 5g version that manages to tie with P30pro. Issues like color science are fixable with software update if it is really a flaw and not subjective opinion. But admittedly the slow motion video of P30 pro sucks whereas im not sure if 4k 60 fps offered on S10+ is really a must have considering the huge file size and lack of OIS. Also the whole Exynos vs Snapdragon version of S10+ is something to deal with when considering the S10+ as the Exynos version seems to have weaker battery life, weaker camera, weaker performance.

Sold my s10 plus and moved to p30 pro. And really happy with the switch.. missing nothing from the s10 plus except the headphone jack.
[Huawei P30 Pro Questions & Answers] leoni1980:
As soon as anyone mentions DXOmark to bolster an argument they lose it IMO. I have both phones so I can only give my personal opinion, and personal experience tells me that DXOmark are about as unreliable as they come when it comes to real world performance metrics.

It's amazing if the Mate 20 Pro and P20 Pro have April security as barely any P30 Pros have received it through the 140 firmware yet. Not sure what's going on with P30 updates but I have owned both a Mate 20 Pro dual SIM and a SIM free P20 Pro and I usually had to faff with PCs to update with any speed. Samsungs usually seem to get updates without any witchcraft once they're announced.

No agenda on my part here, I'm just giving my honest opinion. They're both great handsets.

Also sold my S10 because of the bad battery life and the camera. I only achieved 4hrs of sot. Now i get 8-9 hrs of sot. I only miss the Display a littlw bit but the resolution is only noticeable if you compare them side by side.
[Huawei P30 Pro Questions & Answers] leoni1980:
The S10 has a significantly smaller battery than the P30 Pro though in fairness.
[Huawei P30 Pro Questions & Answers] Log[]:
The battery is 25% larger but i get 120% more sot.

One the ultrasonic scanner made me feel i am in 2016 or something

Two i was not comfortable with the form factor.

Three the device got warmer

Four the racism of Samsung like in one region they send exynos with their own camera while in others they send snapdragon with a better sony cam. I was on exynos.
[Huawei P30 Pro Questions & Answers] Log[]:
The Exynos version is really bad. What i liked about the S10 is the software ONE UI, the display and the speakers. What i like about the p30 pro is the camera, performance, battery life and the fingerprint reader. You get used to the display and it isnt bad at all, i don't notice the resolution anymore. It doesnt has a pentile matrix so thats a bonus. The speaker is loud and clear but no stereo and less volume as the s10. The fingerprint is like day and night, before the update i couldnt use the fingerprint scanner on the s10, especially if you have a tempered glas on it. The optical in the p30 pro is much much much quicker, and 100 % accurate even with wet fingers it works flawlessly. I still have the s10 so i could later retest the scanner after the update... I also did a video comparison and the video quality of the p30 pro isnt bad ita just not as good as the s10's. But in stills the p30 pro is lightyears ahead especially compared to the Exynos version.

Summary: If you dont shoot much photos and only some snapshots in the daylight and you can get the Snapdragon version then you can get the S10. The Fingerprint wont be as good but if you use a normal film screen protector you're good to go.

Ar last a benchmark of the Exynos, it isnt that good...

I never knew the Exynos camera was worse too, jeez! I have the Exynos, I have noticed the slightly disappointing battery but the camera seems ok.
[Huawei P30 Pro Questions & Answers] pafc66:
It's fine. I have the SD and I had the exynos. The photos look different. Not a huge difference. You've got to pixel peep.. and sometimes they look nicer on the exynos.. it's quite subjective. This guy must be OCD.
[Huawei P30 Pro Questions & Answers] Ramid15@gmail.com:
Nothing wrong with the exynos version after April update. Fingerprint is faster, night mode is here and it's great( not p30 level but still) and battery is freaking awesome now. Seriously 9 hours since my last charge with 1hour 20 mins SOT and lots of phone calls and it's 79% battery

I like the oneUI much better than emui ... Don't get me wrong as a whole I am using the p30 pro alot more with games and social media. But Samsung oneUI is so mature it actually has better animation and transition than stock android. Emui looks like unfinished graduation project to clone iOS next to it.
[Huawei P30 Pro Questions & Answers] Log[]:
For me the fingerprint is still crap, with my glass protector (uv glass with loca) it really is ja hit and miss. The p30 Pro works all the time.

Does changing the launcher to something like Nova render this a moot point?
[Huawei P30 Pro Questions & Answers] Ramid15@gmail.com:
It's not about the launcher!

I dunno why people keep saying I changed my launcher and every thing is perfect!

It's the system apps like setting. The glichy recent menu specially with 3rd party launcher. The iOS cloned sharing menu. The gallery... Etc

[Huawei P30 Pro Questions & Answers] mahst68:
I had S10+ and now have had my P30 Pro since the week after it came out:

1. Can't Stand Little Mac "Punch-Out" :D

2. People can debate... but for my camera usage, P30 Pro is light years ahead... hands down.

3. For me, the Huawei Bloat seems less intrusive and actually has some productive elements compared to Samsung

4. Samsung design seems stale

5. I always hear how great the next Samsung phone is, I get it... and it never lives up to hype. P30 Pro maybe lacking in some areas, but the camera hype is real and on point!

6. I like trying to promote Huawei in the USA. Its only banned to protect Apple... the whole Chinese government thing is a farce perpetuated by media & the government to keep competition away from Apple. Look at Global phone sales this 1st quarter... Huawei moved ahead of Apple without a strong presence in the USA, imagine if they did :good: Apple might still be making innovative phones... :laugh:

7. Huawei annoyances with EMUI have reasoning in most cases whether you agree or not. Samsung One UI just has annoyances because Samsung enjoys it... (really I can't ever turn off bixby completely...)

8. P30 Pro just feels like the more complete phone to me... more a gut-check personal reaction then factually based.

I will be hard pressed to see if the P30 Pro continues to fight off the competition until the Mate 30 Pro comes out... OnePlus 7 Pro looks to be a strong contender but still can't get over why OnePlus continues to believe no one wants wireless charging... Get a clue OnePlus... we want wireless charging... even if I don't use it... throw it in there and stop the madness....

I digress....

I don't have general hatred for Samsung as I always buy their devices hoping that "this will be the one." Have done it for 6-7years.... they are never "the one." P30 Pro is the closest phone I have had that represents my ideal imagined phone... :highfive:

That's why I say to barrow a phrase: They'll have to take my P30 Pro from "my cold dead hands..." (Thanks charlton heston :victory: )

I am actually looking to trade my S10 Plus and add $200 cash for a P30 Pro if anyone is interested, I really want to try that 5x Camera
[Huawei P30 Pro Questions & Answers] strekib:
S10plus have better display. When I change my phone from Mate10Pro I had surprised how bad colour have P30Pro. Ok photo is fine, but how can I set white in photos when display have bad colour?
[Huawei P30 Pro Questions & Answers] Log[]:
I have both, and in the vivid mode the P30 Pro Display is vibrant and i really like it, the whites are a little bit to white but you can tweak the colours by yourself. Gsmarena also confirmed that the display is good und vibrant.
[Huawei P30 Pro Questions & Answers] arsenal74:
It is hard to get away from the display as it is head and shoulders better, it really is no contest. In isolation though the P30 pro is just fine, nothing wrong with it.

I prefer the ergonomics on the Samsung, the flat edge on the P30 does dig in and make it less comfortable. The Mate 20 pro is actually a nicer phone in the hand than the P30 (IMO)

Battery is the biggest downside for the Samsung for me as on the Exynos it really is below par for the battery size.
[Huawei P30 Pro Questions & Answers] rolear8:
And what about rooting? What about unlock the boatloader etc so we can really make ours the device?

As I can tell both are yet rooted, but seems Samsung always pull more devs?

[Huawei P30 Pro Questions & Answers] warea:
One UI is the only positive change from Samsung UI introduced quite recently and One UI got a lot of things right this time, well thought out and not just a mash of up small patches of changes here and there.

Agreed but it still has its own list of bugs and annoyances, just as all other UI's.

Its the One UI introduction that put pressure on EMUI to change. Previously the argument was about EMUI being not stock androidish but that is less of an argument now with One UI being everybody's favorite.

I have not yet brought the P30 pro due to the whole UI issue (and waiting for the Amber sunrise color in the market). I prefer updating phones to experience an upgrade of both hardware and software.

That said, i can still give EMUI its excuse. For past 1 and half year they have been improving more on the behind the scene UI experience like using AI for its camera, performance, gaming and adding features like desktop mode and reverse wireless charging which are now being replicated by all other UIs. Secondly, the EMUI overhaul comes in the second half of the year and therefore the P series phones will always get only new features and not UI overhaul. But clearly if EMUI10 does not bring serious and big change to UI that would cause some serious damage to Huawei's phone reviews.

This is excused because it is huawei who first introduced the whole camera shortcut thing and is there on EMUI for more than 2 years whereas the double press power button was introduced recently on stock android. Now that the power button implementation is more refined than the volume down version, i expect EMUI10 may adopt that after seeing all the reviews.

nitpicking

Agreed. All aspects of the battery management/app launch/etc has gotten into being quite excessive of options buried within each other.

Nitpicking. But the camera UI as overall needs be updated like rest of UI.

I have both the two phones. S10 Plus feels more premium than P30 Pro, the screen is just better.
[Huawei P30 Pro Questions & Answers] xnostra:
Sold my s10 plus 128gb green to p30 pro blue and at the moment I think I did not regret it because from s10 plus the exynos version the camera is bad and battery life problem comparing to snapdragon but if the snapdragon was available in my country I would have never made the jump thats my honest opinion. so far the only thing i miss on my s10 plus previously is the display and of course the one ui stock launcher also the headphone jack and a home for my micro sd the rest is almost the same experience.
[Huawei P30 Pro Questions & Answers] toby913:
interesting... can we fire up that discussion again?

it's been a few month where both devices have received updates. what are your points now?

i for one noticed that i don't have some of the issues with the s10+ (exynos) that were mentioned here and the other way around with the p30pro. i own both phones.

i was not able to jump from the s10+ to the p30pro completely. the p30 is my company phone. i love the color of the p30pro however and i'm excited to the the visual overhaul of EMUI10.

Also i usually don't tend to stay long with a samsung phone... but the s10+ mhm, i use it since launch. usually i get fed up real fast with samsung devices because of battery live, this time around strangely enough i didn't.

i have to admit however that i used the s10+ with package disablers and after a while i factory reset the phone and set it up again, with everything enabled by as per samsungs "recomendations".

the night mode on the p30 pro . is killing me, it's still light years ahead of the s10+, and the power management is right next to awesome.

please let's discuss that further. what do you think is the direction the s10+ will take and whats the direction of the p30pro
[Huawei P30 Pro Questions & Answers] Mafiatounes:
I got bored of my S10+ and iPhone XS sold both of them and got a P30 Pro and it is an awesome device with better battery life than both others also photography is way better certainly in low light. A few downsides for me are no stereo speakers, no 4k60 (it generally is less in video department than the other 2 phones) for me the screen is just as good as the s10+ it is not 4k but i do not put my phone that close to my face to start pixel peeping. I am waiting to see how the Mate 30 Pro will turn out tbh and i hope it eliminates the few downsides of the P30 Pro without other compromises.

P30 pro never regretted switching from s10 plus
[Huawei P30 Pro Questions & Answers] russellcausier:
I had S10 plus and the battery drain is awful on standby or in your pocket goes down lots even though not using the phone,tried all tips and tricks made it a touch better but for me the p30 pro is way better camera and battery that's enough for me and think the video is fine maybe not the best but seems ok to me,the S10 plus had to charge at least once throughout the day (exynos version) especially if having a couple of games on pubg!!!the tiny notch on the p30 is way better than the pill too,biggest setback is the one speaker on p30 compared to the dual on S10 but there's an app in apk time called volume booster by goodev which is quality and does a great job
[Huawei P30 Pro Questions & Answers] mostling:
Did they ever fix the AOD issue where it doesn't turn off when in pocket? With the P30 Pro you put your hand close to the top of the phone and the AOD turns off, it never did when i had the S10 and S10+.
[Huawei P30 Pro Questions & Answers] toby913:
Nope, they didn't. i Know the gesture you are describing. tried it and didn't work fpr the s10+. also for no apparent reason i had a battery drain. (under 4H SOT) without any change in usage... did a factory reset this morning. since then it's better.
[Huawei P30 Pro Questions & Answers] mostling:
Always wanted to go back to the S10 but that kind of flaws i just can't take, and them not fixing them after this long. Not a good first impression of Samsung for me.
[Huawei P30 Pro Questions & Answers] xirtam92:
Hi guys, I have the same doubts between those two phones. I don't know what to get to replace my s8+.

I'd love to pick the s10+ but I'm concerned about the battery (I can get only exynos here).

My biggest worries about p30pro are:

1) it can't take photos in 16:9 (yeah I know every sensor shoots at 4:3 and then crops) but with Samsung you can shoot at max resolution directly in 16:9 that's mostly used everywhere (Instagram stories, TVs etc.) and with Huawei you need to crop manually or to use full screen mode at 6mpx.

2) Android auto issues: someone had problems with AA and I'm worried that with the ban it could get worse with AA updating and maybe p30pro not working anymore flawlessly in the future.

What do you think about those two points?

Thanks.
[Huawei P30 Pro Questions & Answers] Hazzay88:
I believe the P30 Pro would be a better buy as camera, performance and battery life is better than what Samsung has to offer.

Also Samsung should just stick to Snapdragon chips as they are better than Exynos
[Huawei P30 Pro Questions & Answers] varcor:
S10 Plus is the better choice. In the Professional Mode you can change exposure, shutter speed, color tone and ISO sensitivity, allowing you to duplicate anything a P30 Pro may offer with the exception of the night mode. Outside of this and the slightly longer battery life, the S10 wins hands down. Huawei builds 2nd tier devices, the P30 Pro isn't in the same league as Samsung or Apple devices.
[Huawei P30 Pro Questions & Answers] papavales:
S10+ is better on papers, P30 pro is better in real life.
[Huawei P30 Pro Questions & Answers] chrisftlse:
I don't agree... P30 pro far away on like everything...

Battery, optical zoom,... And Price ?

Noway Apple beats it and for the s10 only the screen resolution is little bit better on the paper.
[Huawei P30 Pro Questions & Answers] TheInfiniteAndroid:
Disagree, since I'm in the UK, my S10+ had a Exynos processor, gaming was decent but battery drained way quicker than Snapdragon or Kirin, on top of that, the P30 Pros design is a lot more practical in my opinion, the camera being vertical on the P30 makes holding the phone in landscape a lot more comfortable, battery life is better, charging is faster, heat is less, colours are arguably nicer on the Huawei, EMUi isn't perfect but is definitely on level with OneUi & the fingerprint sensor is quicker & more accurate..

Hello guys!!

I am a tech entusiast, and I sell phones to a major retail store in Portugal, since ever!

I like to have allways the top lines. I barely use my computer, I do everything in my smartphone.

I love Samsung and Apple. Had the s7 edge/i6s/s8/s9+ then XS and now a s10+ exynos. I am SO disapointed with câmera. It Is really bad. My s8 was far way better than this one.

Should I change for p30 pro? I dont know why but never seen the Huawei devices with good eyes... But i am so tempted do try the p30.

I tale a lot of photos, and i'm a heavy User, I do everything on it. My personal life and professional depends on a good Phone. I drain almost two bateries a Day on s10+.

Thank you guys!!

Yeah I got the P30 Pro and don't know what all the hype is about, their camera software is s**t and I feel it gets worse every update, my Pixel 3 takes more detailed photos i'm not sure if they still doing hardware lotteries r it's just some phones get good updates and others don't but camera is decent not amazing and video is terrible, get Samsung.
[Huawei P30 Pro Questions & Answers] rajziel:
I agree with you here. UK also and my wife has the Samsung S10+ and is not blown away by it.

On a side by side comparison My p30 pro on heavy use outlasts the S10+ on medium use when it comes to battery, it charges quicker than the S10+ can as well.

When we're on holiday The p30 Pro is used for getting the pictures as, in my wife's words, they just come out better than the S10+ can. Yeah the Huawei has odd issues with post processing every now and again, but its a rarity and the majority are really good pics.

Nothing the Samsung has can replicate that 5x zoom lens.

The only thing Samsung has over the P30 pro is the screen, which you'll only notice if you have them side by side, the speakers as the p30 pro speaker is at best adequate, and the selfie cam, but even that can be nullified with certain filters in certain scenarios.

Samsungs have never been fantastic, they've been solid all rounders but they have never excelled at anything other then screen quality. Most people just buy into the hype of their vast marketing department

I just switched from the Galaxy S10+ to the Huawei P30 pro, and it's pretty great, as long as you can put up with Emui.

Huawei P30 pro

- better battery life

- has IR blaster

- the camera is awesome, way better zoom, night mode, higher pixel count

- private space feature allowing you to login to different desktops using a different fingerprint

- not all of my notifications come through, even after disabling battery optimisation

- OS generally feels faster and smoother

Samsung

- way better looking screen, the colours just pop and are really vibrant

- has bixby button, which can be considered a plus or minus, I find it useful for reprogramming it for different functions and shortcuts

- One UI seems way better to me, especially the way it handles nofitications. In Emui they disappear from the lockscreen after you lock the phone,

and it's just harder to navigate and reply to things without unlocking the phone.

- better slow-motion video

- better Always-on display, shows battery percentage even when there are other notifications
[Huawei P30 Pro Questions & Answers] arsenal74:
I prefer the in hand feel of the S10+ especially the ceramic, really nice.

Camera is better in low light on the P30 plus the zoom but in reasonable light I'd give the nod to the Samsung, as others have said the P30 camera app is really terrible.

Battery on the P30 pro, no contest. Samsung phones just cannot shake their habit of draining more than others when the phone is just sitting there doing nothing!

Screen on the Samsung, no contest

Samsung has secure biometrics the P30 does not.

Gestures are a mess on the S10 (IMO) they are better on the P30. Nether are as good as the pixel or iPhone.

Headphone jack!

YMMV

Here is Australia, only P30 Pro is the correct choice. The S10+ here comes with Exynos...and the OP7T is not officially available...unless you go the Pixel4 (which I won't) or...iPhone (cringe)
