krissy, 05 Mar 2021in terms of video P40pro does best out of all phones i owne... more'maybe bcoz it takes 1~2 sec longer for 'sharpening the image?'
- Those text appear when image stacking (Auto HDR) is happening in certain scene, when its needed (Master AI on or off). I believe Mate 10 has it too (might be less aggressive). You can always choose not to use it by tap to focus for exposure locked, or go to Pro Mode & leave everything in Auto. The text wont appear as Auto HDR dont triggered. Also I failed to understand on what basis Mate 10 better than P40, in low light. Because from what I've seen, its the opposite, by far. Details are pure because of the bigger sensor, dynamic range are plenty up to 15 stops. Mate 10 was nowhere near that. I mean its good on its era, but not currently.

'where i could not decide, which had more details, on some spots P40pro on some Mi Note10'
- Well I can easily spot the difference, the more 'details' u've seen on Note 10 might be just oversharpening (check the comparison link I share with you earlier)

The history of the Huawei P series, no comment, as it got nothing to do regarding P40 camera quality. The same goes to battery life, where differences on chipset, tech, etc are different between those two. As long as I can get more than 1 day battery life with everything turned on, its a flagship quality for me.

    Don't forget that the 'legend' of huawei phones started actually with P8, and Mate10 was at it's release one of the best phones out there - It still beats P40pro on standby time by few %, and in Airplane mode, Mate 10pro lasts over 18days on one charge; the Mi Note 10 on battery saver can't stay on for longer than 5days if you do not touch the phone, disable location, disable WiFi and disable Mobile Data.....i didn't have to do that on the other phones, it still takes best pics tho, and, if you murder all of the phones i mentioned= play with it until the battery dies, Mi Note 10 will last min 8~9hrs, ~6 for the P40pro and ~4hrs for the Mate10;
    navigating with google maps will be possible for 10hrs straight on the Mi Note10 👌 , to be specific, it was from Luxembourg to St. Tropez....few weeks before the lockdown.

              Details using intermediate zoom also a lot better now, after severals of OTA EMUI 11 update. Also some of the update changelog didnt mention about camera improvement, but I can notice it, and you can check Camera App version are newer on certain OTA update.

Sorry based on my observation, P40 its the best yet, which covers a lot of focal length (hybrid + optical) with minor loss in quality. - https://m.gsmarena.com/piccmp.php3?idType=5&idPhone1=10152&idPhone2=9936&idPhone3=8854

                    Mi Note 10 is a great camera no doubt, but dont like the oversmudge details processing that they have (still better than what Samsung has done). Also in what ways Mate 10 are better than P40? I can be sure that its better than my previous Mate 20, by far. Yes sometimes color science using main RYYB sensor can be a bit miss on certain scenarios, but it takes on details are splendid. Colors can easily adjusted using HSL adjustment later on, but u cannot recover details. Besides, its improving over the time with certain updates.

                            i also happen to own Mate10pro which seems to be making better pics at low light conditions than p40pro too; it is just sad. Well let's hope it is what you say and they fix it. As for now i can not understand how this phone made it to top ranks in DXOMARK, even Samsung S20, not even the Ultra version, and it still takes better pics.

                                        "No. EOD needs hardware-support that P40 Pro doesn't have. That is exclusive to Mate40Pro as far as I know. But it's very similar to AOD which we DO have. The clock (or whatever you want) is visible all the time so no need for EOD."

                                        What's so different that it does not support EOD? Both phones use Depth sensor IR for the front cameras...
