Huawei P20 Pro review: The Galaxy S9 killer

[@AndroidAuthority]

We think Night Mode is the biggest game-changer on the P20 Pro - but what do you think?

[@runcornphysio]

You forgot to mention that in the 4K video, both P20 and P20 Pro are very shaky compared to other flagship phones, for example, both Google Pixel 1 & 2, iPhone 10 and S9 all take better 4K videos than P20 and P20 Pro.

[@anwayaadak]

Android Authority ya I agree but Samsung fanboys will never. by the way nice scientific explanation

[@deepakmahato3350]

Android Authority it's amazing📦

[@arnobkhan8356]

everything is great..but it should be cheaper...

[@adarshsunil2351]

Android Authority stunning camera quality and good design (P20 Pro)

[@LoverOfTech]

Let comment before watching. This phone is awesome but not an S9 Killer looking at the phone as a complete package.

[@LoverOfTech]

carver 9 I didn’t even bother finishing to watch the video at all yet. Later on I will but this narrow minded approach of because it has a unique colour and the camera based on marketing, it’s now all of a sudden the better phone lol. AA have a good list of reviewers and He is also good but I just find it funny lol

[@gjna5143]

Lover Of Tech Exactly right: kzbin.info/www/bejne/epPSo4SPbN9noas Design: S9+ Screen: S9+ Stereo Speakers: S9+ Bluetooth: S9+ Chipset: S9+ Speed: S9+ Software: S9+ Wireless charging: S9+ Headphone jack: S9+ In-ear headphones: S9+ Expendable storage: S9+ Durability: S9+ Water resistance: S9+ Health support and app: S9+ Voice assistants: S9+ Mobile payment platforms: S9+ Security software: S9+ Customer support: S9+ Biometrics: S9+ Front camera photo: S9+ Front camera video: S9+ Rear camera video: S9+ Rear camera audio: S9+ VR: S9+ Desktop interface: S9+ AR: Draw AI: Draw Rear camera photo: Draw LTE: Draw Battery life: P20Pro Battery charging speed: P20Pro

[@Mrnovanova]

Lover Of Tech I wonder how much Huawei paid him?

[@gjna5143]

mrnovanova Yep, Matthew Moniz has been paid as well

[@LoverOfTech]

mrnovanova nah I doubt paid him. He probably just likes huawei products and he is human like everyone else so he is allowed to have s preference but just find it funny to say it is am S9 killer lol

[@TechLineHD]

Love my P20 Pro. Made a detailed review of it too!

[@tonyand8265]

Dude, your review is much better. This is a clickbait sponsored video, that's all.

[@LoverOfTech]

Tony And clickbait for sure and also more of a camera review than an actual review lol

[@ZLL668]

Tony And , agreed.

[@k.j.9290]

Using Mate 10 Pro atm and the phone is amazing. Nice pictures, good battery life and big screen, thats all i need. P20 Pro is upgraded version so i bet its worth the money.

[@AndroidAuthority]

What I want to know is, if this is how good the P series is now, what's the next Mate going to look like?

[@sandeepreddy8567]

Android Authority kirin980(7nm,5g), inscreen fingerprint, sightly improved cameras,may b curved lg OLED display(mate rs has it) atleast in one model,..... what do u think AA ?

[@sandeepreddy8567]

richard ratner u have an abnormal disease. U can differentiate 1080p and 2k screen without side by side comparison and u think without losing battery. go consult a doctor

[@k.j.9290]

The screen size is just perfect for 1080p, 4k is overkill for me. 4k also drains battery faster, and you cant really see much difference when comparing the two. Screen is good, and battery life is even better because of that.

[@johnsecret1318]

correction: mate 10 killer not s9+ killer only note 9 could definitely kill the s9+

[@johnsecret1318]

😂😂😂 never heard those fake news.. poor W YW

[@Code124Y2V]

W YW this call marketing lol...

[@riccardoblue2781]

Google it...In fact just copy his comment to clipboard and paste it on google search.

[@riccardoblue2781]

Really?

[@ZoroCOPS]

Samsung didnt inovated anything from s8 ,huawei keeps doing that.And p20 pro can do more than $9

[@iveyyy1559]

I love Huawei products but I really wish they didn't try so hard to look like Apple products.

[@chia-haochou8102]

Iveyyy mate series is the true flagship and it will retain HUAWEI-ish design. They are just betting on both sides

[@JoshB-zc5jb]

Dude if the camera setup was horizontal and in the middle would u say it was like Samsung? Sad

[@EhrgeizTV]

This phone looks nothing like something Apple would make.

[@murtadaal-brahim1973]

Software is clearly going after the IOS .

[@carbon7151]

Murtada Al-brahim ios doesn't have an apo drawer and so much of flexibility like EMUI. I would say oppo and vivo's os are more similar to ios

[@idyll1157]

When the price goes down, this phone really is going to be a steal.

[@Conceptcreator]

still no headphone jack tho! (that is just beyond stupid! I like my headphone jack!) also... AIS... Only works on 1080p..

[@TheRicardo28]

Concept Creator AIS only works on 1080p video but it's better than the S9.

[@Conceptcreator]

Ricardo Oliveira i am aware that it only works on 1080p. But in this day an age there are plenty of people recording in 4k

[@TheRicardo28]

Concept Creator of course I agree in that point but to use the 4k video completely the people has to be a 4k TV or 4k monitor on the computer there is to many people that doesn't have this kind of equipment. The Huawei P20 Pro has other features exclusively belong the Huawei that I liked a lot but the Huawei display in compare to the amoled Samsung display is great to but isn't enough . I will prefer Samsung always because of the amoled display the most important feature to me.

[@LoverOfTech]

Concept Creator never forget the stupid notch as well looool😁. This was more of camera review than an actual review

[@latuman]

The S9, as far as I know, uses software stabilization at 4k, so you won't actually get 4k resolution in that mode. In P20 Pro you do, but I'd say no-one at no-point in no-time would ever need 4k videos, especially on smartphones for any other reason than bragging rights.

[@SpencerDean14]

The real S9 killer is 3-6 months of actual use. Thats when the TouchWiz lag sets in Meanwhile, Huawei will be chuggin along just fine. The new Android Kings

[@emptycanvas6816]

huawei has convinced me to change over. i am a dedicated samsung user for years! and i will be switching over. i for one like the fact that it looks different when you place it on the table next to your friends galaxy and iphone phones it stands out especially with the twilight gradient reflective backing.

[@HNg-re5rx]

Love my Huawei P20 pro so far. Picked it up a couple of weeks ago and I'm glad to have made this move.

[@latuman]

Thank you for being pretty much the only reviewer who actually talked about pixel binning and how the cameras _actually_ function.

[@frontier_etc]

Huawei Authority

[@sandeepreddy8567]

brown bobby how much are tech companies paying u for each comment and spreading hate? American Brownlee Mr.America Mobile The American Verge............ These are some inclusions

[@robbybred5702]

so true))

[@UNBOXINgdude]

great

[@LoverOfTech]

So I have watched 10mins of this review and to be honest as great as this review is, you might have just called it a P20 Pro Detailed Camera review. Good job but soon much focus on the camera🤷🏿‍♂️

[@arwlyx]

Can you please explain whats with the gender symbol?

[@kierenkd]

Doesn't have an ANT+ radio. Qualcomm still adds that to most of it's tech which is useful for active people that use that wireless tech

[@trinikenshin]

I don't know if it is a S9 killer. For me it isn't. No headphone jack, inferior waterproofing, and no sd card means I am not considering it. It is beautiful and it looks powerful but I don't understand the strategy of the pricing being in the same bracket as the S9 and iPhone. For $700 I might have even considered it but I am not going to import a phone at nearly $900 when I can get an S9+ with warranty for $840

[@latuman]

I was also troubled with the excessive smoothing and sharpening. Especially when other reviewers thought competitors grainy, normal images were somehow worse. That's not the case; we are removing information here. That's why I though "why not always use 40mpx mode since it removes all these obstacles", but then you cannot zoom, so I guess I'm stuck... I hope I can deal with it eventually.

[@mrbdamasceno]

I've noticed your Gear S3. Have you paired it with the P20? Besides having to install 100 plugins, some features didn't work for me, like being able to find watch faces and apps within the gear app. Any idea on why? Is it only possible with Samsung phones? I had mine paired with an S8 and it all worked fine.

[@hannessvardal6335]

Hello, I have a question: Will the Huawei P20 pro camera AI learn from my decisions? For example, if I discard AI scene suggestions for a particular type of scenes (e.g., blue sky). Will the phone adapt and change what it's suggesting or the rendering to please my taste? Or is the AI actually not intelligent in the sense that it learns from my decisions when taking photos? Thanks!

[@jefftyt]

I was about to get this phone but after trying the phone for a while i decided to give pixel 2 xl a try, which cost exact thr same after a 80 usd discount. Getting the new phone in a few days, hope i made the right choice.

[@deepaksinghroha321]

Yeah low light photography is its key advantage

[@ayaan_sabir]

Not an S9 killer in terms of the full package but yeah in terms of camera and battery life maybe slightly ahead.

[@crocop5274]

Hello Could some help me to make this choice; Galaxy A5 2017 or Galaxy J7 2017 Thanks

[@hollymolly518]

is it gorilla glass 5 on p20? i can't find any information on it.......also does it have Bluetooth 5.0? the official doesn't say anything about it....

[@Jhoniewalker86]

Congratulations for 3 million subscribers

[@abelisraelcruzayuso4682]

Where did you get the P20 Pro cover??

[@AMOS2809]

Loved my 20 Pro.

[@yannika6914]

I want to make a Canvas photo size "6 Ft X 4 Ft" and *Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus* doesn't have the resolution to do so.... *Would the Huawei P20 Pro have the resolution high enough to do such huge photo?*

[@bardamoszecronstarog9499]

People are calling S9+ the “complete package” lol. Had my S8+ start lagging in 6 months. Same happened to a lot of other users including Erica Griffin whose review you guys who’re spectacle about my comment can watch. S9+ will share the same fate. New toy which looks good from the outside until you really dig deep to find many flaws. Had my burn ins in about 4.5 months at the corner of the screen. Display is nice, but impractical. I’d rather have bezels to hold my phone than cover my screen with my hands whilst consuming media, not to mention the god damn bloat ware which actually slowed my S8+ down. I’d rather have a flagship which can last me 4 years at least if not 5 years than buy a new looking toy which ages horribly

[@banglazbless3536]

Syed Nuhaid my note8 6gbr says high👋. What lag you speak of? Because from the day i bought my note8 (over 6 months ago) I haven't experience what you're talking about. And I doubt the s9 plus with 6gbr and a leaner OS will lag.

[@bardamoszecronstarog9499]

Banglaz Bless Of course you think I am lying.Then why not search gaming comparisons on YT to see the drop rates on your beloved Note 8, or again check out Erica Griffin's video? Because she TOOK her time checking the phone out. These reviewers review phone JUST after their release.

[@banglazbless3536]

Syed Nuhaid i follow Erica Griffin and she says she had no lag on her note8. Dude you are talking to a guy who owns the note8. Zero lag here.

[@DS87]

My S8+ lags a fair bit due to the sheer amount of features that the phone runs that (bixby etc.) which I hardly if ever use. Moved to the P20 Pro with the gimmicks that I actually enjoy using. Loading Android Auto on the P20 Pro is absolutely wayyyy faster on this than the S8+ simply due to the lean EMUI software. Knuckle tap to screenshot is the best thing ever with Scroll screenshot that actually works unlike the S8's.

[@stavriminev5325]

Syed Nuhaid I really don't know what you people are doing to your phones... I've never had a phone start lagging on me after a period of time.... I've had many Samsung, Sony, LG, HTC phones...

[@murdas]

Can you tell the name of the case/cover?

[@Dr.Hypersonic]

Nothing can beat the S9 series except note 9 in late July with more tweaked hardware and software ...

[@omarsabir1210]

HYPERSONIC20 uhhh its just an s8 with snapdragon 845 with a slightly upgraded camera

[@Dr.Hypersonic]

Hades am waiting for the beast 9 I have a note 8. I know what you saying but they can't compare Samsung to any Chinese company .. Right .

[@goqul]

Well said bro! Note 9 FTW!

[@Dr.Hypersonic]

TheGamingAudiophile Pixel 2 XL is a totally awesome mobile in its own right ... We would love to compare it with Samsung . we are speaking of Chinese companies here not Google .I too have it as my primary daily driver . I know how it is totally awesome.

[@itachivision7459]

HYPERSONIC20 1588

[@potato52]

I love both of the colours that are offered. It just look so nice on a phone that I wish other phones would also adopt this style. I just really like it, and the notch doesn't bother me at all plus you can customise to blend with the notif bar.

[@davidyewd]

nice vid! Do you have more information about 4K video stabilization on the p20 pro?

[@yaseen.94]

davidyewd nothing great to say about it. Its as if you are taking video during an earthquake

[@davidyewd]

can, and will this be fixed with an update?

[@yaseen.94]

davidyewd it could be. But we have to wait and see if huawei does it!!

[@TheSongchao]

I don't think huawei will update 4k stabilization. For me, the 1080p video is really enough, and the stabilizaiton now is the best among phones.

[@yaseen.94]

Fox Song yupp the 1080p stabilization is very good. But so is every other phone.

[@rayhaanramsey1190]

The phone definitely seems like a good phone , solid in many ways but definitely not a s9 killer, Huawei has made great strides this far in the phone game but definitely has to do alot more to catch up to the top tier manufacturer in the phone game , Samsung's s9 is the best rounded phone at the moment has everything any person could want and the skin is much better than huawei's

[@qwertyfish007]

Great review, loved the detail on the cameras. Are you using a Samsung Gear watch? If so how does the P20 Pro work with it?

[@KH40T1C_yt]

Galaxy watches have a companion app you can install on any android and even ios. The draw backs are what you'd expect, samsung health integration etc. But nothing that would by itself keep you with a galaxy

[@Robin-bk2lm]

Have had the phone a while and have to agree with Kris about subjectivity of photo quality. I have no camera that can do perfect photos, but I have a cheap superzoom that is acceptable to my budget. This p20 pro is a super value bc now I can afford to get shots I never could before, even if they are not the same as a DSLR. It's a game changer for me. And come to think of it, you can't get these 10x zoom photos on ANY other phone.

[@abdurrahmanalchoughri836]

The only reason the s9's camera seems to be less impressive than the p20 is that samsung doesn't go top much into details Samsung added a lot of UNTALKED about features to the camera

[@michaeljordan6553]

S9 killer? Only 1 camera has ois, no headphone jack, no micro sd card compatibility, worse software, the notch, worse speaker, bluetooth version is outdated and it's slower Cameras are important, but it shouldn't 100% determine what phone you will get. Most people looking for a phone wants everything to be good (e.x processor, design, screen and so on.) Just because the p20 has a better camera, doesn't mean it's an s9 killer.

[@matthewescamilla123]

Problem is which US phone providers will give good phone service with this phone? T Mobile, Verizon, etcetera?

[@billysgeo]

13:30 , what's that game???

[@overworked_nurse]

Feels more like a camera comparison than a full review.

[@Vincent-fb2hu]

Hey i was wondering if i shuld buy anp20pro for 850euro or a S9 for 750euro + the s9 comes whith he wierless earphones frome samsung valu like 250 euro so like what shuld i buy?????

[@Kalinforrinco]

Why is it that everyone claims this phone has the biggest sensor "since the Lumia 1020"? The biggest sensor since the Lumia 1020 is still the one inch sensor on the Lumix CM1.

[@EmjayDTube]

Could've gone with a rear placement for the fingerprint sensor to make it easier to reach since it's a taller 19:9 screen. But overall it's a better buy than the s9 and iPhone X in my opinion.

[@Themlody130]

This review was stellar, packed to the brim with detail for every aspect that people might look for in a phone. Great job!

[@TalesOfGod]

I decided to watch the whole video before commenting and you missed mentioning the price which is about $1,100 US. While I certainly did enjoy the review you gave for the camera, the video seemed to be biased, overall. That being said, I do admit that I am surprised that the phone can't record in 4k 60fps with all of that going for it. The phone seems pretty great for the camera (which is the main focus) but is not a S9 killer as it is standard for the rest of the phone. So if you are crazy about the camera then go ahead and buy it but if not, there are better alternatives out there including the S9.

[@yaseen.94]

TalesOfGod it cant do 4k@60 fps due to limitation of kirin970

[@TalesOfGod]

Mohammed Yaseen So, it's not powerful enough but it could be possible on something with more power? Useful to know, thanks!

[@yaseen.94]

Mantvydas Nenartavičius so 900euros is not equal to 1100$ is what you are saying!?

[@TalesOfGod]

Mohammed Yaseen It is equal, look at it yourself. 900 Euro is as of right now, 1,112.24 US Dollar.

[@yaseen.94]

TalesOfGod yupp its possible with apple a11 bionic, SD845, exynos 8895 and exynos 9810. The exynos variants can even do 4k@120fps. But samsung doesn't allow it in S9 cuz SD845 variants of S9 can't do it.

[@jtec99]

does the p20 pro have stereo speakers?

[@zombielinkinpark]

The entire review sounded more like a paid review then an actual analysis to the phone. The P20 pro camera is great but overly aggressive denoise filter will cause information loss which by all means is can't be invariable by algorithms unlike pixel 2 approach which can apply the same denoise filter later to achieve similar result. Therefore, it's even not comparable to pixel 2. Also, I think you failed to mention that the AIS is only available to 1080P mode rather then the 4K which almost every flagship phone today does.

[@paigefields9221]

As a camera? Of course. It even killed the Pixel2 As a phone? No. You need to take a phone as a PHONE . Not just its camera. The P20 is good, but as a whole, the S9 is still better.

[@abdou023]

Minute 10:27 and the guy is still talking about the cameras!!

[@AndrewSmith-yy4sd]

AbdelGhafour Mohie El-Deen: lmao, but yet he finds it sensible to title this video 's9 killer' as if it was a full spec for spec comparison. If it was a full spec for spec comparison then he would afto name the video 'p20 killer' instead

[@shivrajkotian8971]

Does P20 pro going to launch in India?

[@ZanderLexx]

Watching this on my Galaxy S9 and still loving my phone.

[@YM-vu7zd]

I love the twilight.

[@VacatedMemo117]

The only thing Huawei is better against s9, x, etc its his camera with AI (except in video stabilization at 4k, which doesnt get 60fps) and battery. other flagships smash p20 pro in other things, like gpu and cpu power, sound, ip protection, micro sd slot, 3.5mm jack, and front camera.

[@Felizchi]

Can you buy these in US????

[@trindadecr7221]

P20 pro top

[@edreal334]

very detailed review loved it

[@jment34]

Does it come in black ?

[@meemeeow]

They can put fingerprint scanner at the side for cleaner look

[@chudumama24]

How much cost of the mobile?

[@NRecob]

New Phone: Huawei P20 Pro. Old Phone: iPhone X. Why? The Camera [esp Night Mode!], Big Battery & the FAST Supercharging.

[@nomanamirjamil7209]

What's the game being played in the review? Graphics look amazing!

[@chintanpatel4825]

The only reason Huawei lacks in being a top selling smartphone company is that it doesn't listen to consumers properly. If Huawei puts 6+ Inches - 2K/4K Super AMOLED bezel less Display, 4000+ mAh Battery, Leica Triple Camera (As shown in P20 Pro), Expandable storage slot upto 200GB, IP68 (Not 67) Certification, In-Display fingerprint scanner, 6/8 GB RAM + 64GB as a base variant, Hisilicon Kirin 980 chip for their next flagship Huawei Mate 20 Pro and all that with price tag of $1000 then people will be ready to com out of Echo-System whether its Apple, Samsung, LG or HTC.

[@ThePokemonx7]

And the mate 20 pro literally has all of this lmao

[@deepakmahato3350]

This colour is awesome.

[@JohnSmith-nc9ep]

Very thorough, good job

[@msstudio10]

This is certainly the best camera phone as it looks. Huawei has finally done a good job in keeping full display with the best camera setup and a big battery. Although I am a samsung user but P20 pro has blown my mind since the launch. Yes this is of coarse the S9 killer. Nice review.

[@awrebyawe]

Those pictures are incredible

[@ericsmith506]

S9 killer? Stop using that term for CLICKBAIT

[@WhyGodLoveMe]

Eric Smith it sure is s9 killer and will be note 9 killer too. By the way I'm s9 user.

[@alexdiezg]

Bandy Ahmed Big doubt on that one.

[@soul4saken]

There's not much disincentive, when people like you are successfully baited, again and again

[@smamq]

Bandy Ahmed just the camera and the color killed the S9, ok

[@ChiekoGamers]

Hows your S9 4hrs SoT?

[@24JesterKings]

Not sold in US(have to import) and only limited AT&T and T-Mobile in major cities, good lookin phone tho

[@pridedyanky]

Just swapped from Samsung over to the p10 pro. Seriously do not like the curved screens. My s7(great phone) was my last Samsung. Between myself and my partner we've had everything from the S3 to s8. Gonna miss the headphone jack and wireless charging tho. Came in very handy in my truck

[@fernaldyleonarta1817]

for me though, phone is not all about the camera. in fact, i think for most people too, it's better to get the phone with longevity rather than the better camera ones but you know won't get software updates in the next two years or so.

[@MTGProductions]

The P20 Pro is definitely a solid package from Huawei this year!

[@helveticalouie]

Headphone jack? Notch? NOTCH?! What killer?

[@alexdiezg]

IP67 as well.

[@VirtualVictoryTM]

alexdiezg no SD card slot as well

[@alexdiezg]

MIUI as well

[@ranadeepkundu5357]

alexdiezg *EMUI

[@alexdiezg]

Ranadeep Kundu Oh sorry. I meant EMUI of course. Been saying MIUI a lot recently so I mixed them up :P

[@Alex-du3tj]

Excellent video👌 really enjoy your type of review videos

[@Alex-du3tj]

That top comment😂😂😂

[@Goncalopb]

This phone kills the S9+! I mean, the processor is slower than a S8, the screen is 4 years behind the S9, the speakers are worse than the S9, no headphone jack, no curved screen, worse aperture for the camera, you have to suck up EMUI that is utterly awful, brings worse accessories and no cover included on the box although 200 euros cheaper huaweis bring them, you have to carry a iPhone X clone but with 3 cameras, worse water resistance, no wireless charging, camera works very well only in some situations, worse design, crap for VR, and so on. But guys, the color is really cool and the camera says 40mp! The battery is really good if you want to use your phone for a day and a half instead of a full day with battery to spare! Like, everyone needs more than 6 hours SOT on a 16 hour day with 15 to 20% battery to spare! Did I talk about the notch? It has a really cool notch for when you want to see the image of the battery charge! Can't really show the percentage because of it, but it's so cool! This review is totally unbiased and unsponsored! I BELIEVE HIM AND SO DOES EVERYONE WHO HAS HAD MULTIPLE FLAGSHIPS! GO HUAWEI! well, go home Huawei, you are drunk. #HuaweiAuthority

[@alexdiezg]

You just debunked yourself with the 2nd to 6th row in your comment. Are you daft?

[@andyH_England]

GPBadjoras but for stuff that matters to us it kills the s9. Bigger battery 4000mah v 3000mah. 6gb RAM v 4gb, 128gb ROM v 64gb, better camera, no Edges (as Gorilla Glass said it kills their protection), fasr]t updates (already had 2), etc. also we had a £325 Bluetooth headset as free that makes it even better bargain.

[@lion-ho2td]

Curved screens are cons for phone.

[@fangdanfangdan3196]

Curved screen sucks.

[@davidls187]

Curved screens are shit. Only galaxy fanboys like that. Also, watch any benchmark comparison video, the P20 Pro almost always performs better than the S9 and the battery lasts longer. DxOMark gave the p20 pro a 109 score, and a 99 to S9 plus. Cry, sammy fanboy, cry.

[@OrangePigProductions]

Why call it a galaxy s9 killer when it has no headphone jack and memory expansion?

[@thirumaleshaadarshgudluru7709]

Very professional review..Great work!!👍🏻

[@jsaint01]

The triple camera is the best. It allows to add DSLR-style depth and offer a 5x hybrid and 3x optical zoom. There’s also a F1.6 aperture which helps shoot photos when the lights get low and the inclusion of the incredible Night Mode. I will say much better than S9.

[@pyrosdestiny]

No to the notch, no the fingerprint scanner on the front and no having to fiddle with camera settings. Most important part of my experience is the screen not the camera.

[@machiavelli3556]

Huawei paid for that title

[@aryanbayas]

Thanks for the review

[@jaim2784]

Mate 9 user here, the Monochrome lens is the USP for me.

[@MichaelKristensenDK]

I'm sold, fingers and everything else crossed 🤞🏻

[@LowLightVideos]

Pricewise it's great, but there's a price to be paid. Nothing is for free, not Carrier _free_ phones and not manufacturer top end phones for cheap ... -- 1:06 - AI means it hijacks your photo and messes around with it, unless you're near a military target; then it sends the RAW home encrypted. -- 2:55 The 2x binning is great but realize it causes moiré when you want it least. -- 4:11 - 10x not so good, but the S9+ 10x zoom is quite good. -- 4:59 - 4 second handheld, but the S9+ does 10 seconds. I'd be happier with my S9+ if it was 300 less but other than that I'm impressed. The Samsung Gear Oculus VR suite looks great and without the software to back it on day 0 it wouldn't have been as great. It's a total package thing, the S9+'s camera isn't _killed_ by wahwahwaaah (Sad Trombone sound). The Edge Screen means you can get color Notifications with the phone face down, and even do quick replies with the Heartbeat Sensor. My FP sensor unlocks on a tap, retina is only slow in the dark. GPS is locked in less than 3 seconds indoors (almost 2 minutes outside on my last phone). I even enjoy 90% of the Bloat, removing Bixby took a few minutes but it bugs me no more ... Just ask Huawei how they made it for such a low price, they didn't; it's dumping, sold for hundreds less than it could be priced at because it's Govt. subsidised.

[@FilipMatacin]

I can't belive when you say things like the selfie cam has 24MP but shoots out softies rather than selfies and the beauty logarythm is so agrresive that even switched off is still making trouble.. And the lack of the SD card is nonsense, even the 3.5mm jack should had been retained.. Some bad compromises had to be maid to accomodate the shift into a more modern package.. I'm using a HUAWEI P10PLUS and a LG V30, to be completly honest, the P20PRO and the G7thinkQ make me leaf when I think about switching onto them, the 3 cameras of the P20PRO or the new things on the G7 are not enough to make me wish to do the switch..

Lol I knew it wasn't Joshua Vergara or anyone else making an absurd statement like that😂

How I wish Joshua did the review.

[@darthdarthbinkss]

Kris left a few things out but he's getting better and he's definitely not bad, compared to other people on this channel. Cut him some slack.

I say about p20 pro it is batter and different then others . Its some features like its battery life , cameras ,storage capacity and processing system . The cameras is mainly attracted to the person. I gave this phone 5 stars in review and i want to win this phone for my father

[@natnatbobcat8911]

The only selling point of the p20 pro is the camera. Comparing them side side you will definitely pick the s9 plus. In the camera dept you will not notice as much difference as they have very good camera as to date.

He pronounced it as "data" instead of "data" @ 2:28. The only reason I would buy this phone is th 4,000mAh battery. I honestly think that if removing the headphone jack is gonna increase battery life by a big margin, then yes Samsung should let go of the headphone jack

[@abhishekbharti2812]
