This year, Samsung’s Galaxy S10 and S10+ share three cameras on the back and two on the front. Huawei tops it with four, one of which is a 3D camera designed to improve portrait photos.
Huawei P30 Pro:
40-megapixel “SuperSpectrum” lens20-megapixel ultra wide-angle lens 8-megapixel 5x optical periscope zoom lensTime-of-flight (TOF) sensor to measure distanceFront-facing camera: 32 megapixels
Galaxy S10 Plus:
12-megapixel wide-angle lens16-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens12-megapixel telephoto lens with 2x zoomFront-facing camera: 10 and 8 megapixels
The Galaxy S10+ (and the Galaxy S10 family in general) have received a ton of attention in recent months, and with good reason. However, the arrival of the Huawei P30 Pro did steal some of the limelight. The two android smartphones share many of the same features: water resistance with IP68 certification, wireless charging, reversible charging, Android Pie, an octa-core processor, five cameras in total, a curved OLED screen and a metal frame. However, despite those similarities, each phone is in great ways different to the other. In some ways, the Huawei P30 Pro might actually be better, while in some the Samsung Galaxy S10+ could be the better phone.
