krissy, 20 Sep 2021https://photos.app.goo.gl/VXgNEGRomgLPvVE47 be my guest, ... moreI went through all of them multiple times but since I wasn't there I can not evaluate colors, only texture and detail but it would be unfair for the samsung and huawei since 95% of the pictures from the mi note 10 have been taken on the 108mp while 90% of huawei and Samsung on the 12mp mod. The only time you used samsung and huawei 108 and 50mp modes were at night were you should never do.
Also it's obvious you never used night mode and to be honest I suspect you used pro mod. The only picture were iso and resolution were similar (samsung 108,xiaomi 108, huawei 50) was the leaves were xiaomi and Samsung had pretty identical results while huawei had a similar result but with better edge detection and more details on the edges.

    be my guest, this google photos link has pics from 2019 that are only from MiNote10, and then a series of pictures from MiNote10, S20Ultra and P40pro from same location on same day, differ by maybe up to 20minutes;
    in order to be able to compare them better you can download the pics;
    if you are not familiar with google photos, click on any picture, then in the top right corner there is an 'i' button/icon, if you click on that, you will see location, date and camera/lens information;
    for some reason the Huawei did not store location or it was not on, while i took the pictures;
    ...
    be the judge yourself.

      You are the only person who says the mi note 10 has that good camera. Even the most trusted reviewer in my country who never accepts review units and makes a video only if he has something to say said the camera is not perfect and that the p30 pro is about as good camera wise. You either don't remember well or you don't want to remember.

        Yes telephoto is terrible on the xiaomi if compared to P40Pro, but Samsung wins without any doubt.
        Yes, the reason i got the other phones was bcoz MiNote10 was kinda slow, i have no doubt about that either, if you would read my previous comments, you would know that P40Pro has a better response to everything, and is extremely fast in unlocking, as opposed to S20Ultra which is the slowest in unlocking of the 3 phones.

        I never claimed that Xiaomi MiNote10 is a better phone than Huawei P40Pro or S20Ultra, i just said that it takes best pictures, S20Ultra takes the second place, and P40Pro the last place.
        Even at night where the P40pro should actually be best, other phones just take better pictures.

          krissy, 19 Sep 2021sorry for being a fanboy of facts.If we talk with facts we would talk about the better, bigger main sensor on the p40 pro and s20 ultra. The far superior ultra wide on the p40 pro and advanced telephoto cameras on the s20 ultra(4x 48mp) and p40 pro(5x 12mp ryyb). And of course we should not forget the better and more advanced software huawei and Samsung has (remember we are talking about a 2019 xiaomi phone). The fact you might have tested the three of them on different situations, lighting conditions and different software versions doesn't make you an authority by any means.

          Because I can see the respond "hardware does not mean everything" I have to inform you xiaomi ii not Google.

                  i have a question,

                  why the photo and video test post on gsmarena, are so blur on the right side ? is it lens , hardaware, software ?

                    Anonymous, 26 Aug 2021The Haptics are inferior to the Samsung and OnePlus flagshi... morehahaha, a good joke,
                    Huwei is the best out there, and the OnePlus is not bad, it's similar to Xiaomi phones, which are worse than Huawei phones if it comes to screens and optimization of the battery life.
                    However i have to mention, that the MiNote10 can run 9hours straight on google maps navigating, and there was no other phone i owned to this day that could beat that.

                    The S20 and S21 series is worse than Huawei P40pro in almost any aspect, one of the few things that Samsung did better is to curve the screen less than Huawei did, and the S21 has a better speaker.

                      Shui8, 26 Aug 2021I dont know why u still insist about 50mp/108mp debacle 🤦. ... moreas can be seen on the pics i took, and the cropped version, the best what Huawei can do, and the 50MP AI is slightly better than the 'photo' mode which is some 12MP, and then you see what Xiaomi did, you can read the whole sign from the 108MP MiNote10 photo, but can't from the P40Pro.....so you tell me the version where you can't read it is better?

                      dude, are you serious?
                      and on the cropped pics of that plate on the wall, Huawei seems to add artifacts in order to get lucky and gain some details, this technique is used in restoring old movies, you add grain and then you filter the frames;
                      i would assume Huawei tries to assume shapes, thus the fancy thing that happened to that white sign.

                      why did i crop the pics? how else can you tell which pic has more details?

                      those pics were hand held, and even then did Xiaomi won the competition, totally destroying the crappy S20Ultra, and the P40pro; just imagine if i used the tripod, but that would be not fair since then the Xiaomi would be far superior and i could use the pro mode on it, and with pro mode there is no competition to the MiNote10 phone.

                      i said the 108MP will beat anything that comes out of P40pro, and you saw the proof.
                      I was surprised that none of the phones managed to capture the text from the plate on the wall, as well that the Samsung did not improve with switching to the 108MP, i guess it's just resizing the 108MP pic to 12MP and there is no magic at all.

                      Well, the discussion is over.

Even text on Xiaomi & Samsung worse than Huawei. And for what you crop the image in high magnification? Are u gonna use the very high cropped image? No right?

                          '50mp AI' are high res photo with pseudo long exposure + stacked images.Of course it takes longer, useful in certain scene & dynamic range increases. If u want instant 50mp, dont use AI & its taken less than 2 second. And again, color correction is less processed in 50mp, other shows better because Huawei using RYYB. Huawei's color more accurate in 12.5mp.

                          Annndddd again I dont care about high res in smartphone sensor. Pixel-binned res is. The rest of the world prefer it as well. It got better overall aspects than high res that only provide a bit of details.

                          This is getting tiresome already. Go to basic photography class then come back to me.

I've used cheaper phones with far superior haptics. Like I said, typing was weak and buzzy. And you're right, I don't own the phone... ANYMORE. I sent it back to Huawei for a refund.

                              - every other phone that have curve display behave the same way.
                              - Auto image processing afterwards, that is the cause not the same as viewfinder. It becomes better. If u want it to be synchronize, use Pro Mode.
                              - Haptic is one of the best out there.

                              At this point, I dont even think u own the phone.

                                Anonymous, 25 Aug 2021What an overrated phone. I was willing to overlook the lack... morecan't agree in some aspects;
                                New phones is always to be put on charging....whatever percentage of the battery it shows first , is not true, the phones are not being charged by the manufacturer.

                                Curved screens suck, yes, agree to that, but P40Pro is not the worst if it comes to curved screens.
                                A for the 'haptic feedback' , there is no phone maker out there that makes this better than Huawei, you can only get worse phones, the precision of touch on the P40Pro is as expected - superior.

                                  Shui8, 25 Aug 2021That statement according to you. Not to Professional Photog... morethe pics i took were on the very same day, usually minutes a part, and if i used a tripod i tried to not move the tripod while swapping the phones;
                                  I took all pics myself and can tell how close the pics are to what i saw.

                                  The pics you linked were taken months apart....some of them have leaves on the trees and some don't, and like i said Xiaomi did get some updates;

                                  .... here are pics from today, with a watermark, except i can't find that option on the S20Ultra;
                                  2 pics per phone, 'photo' mode, AR 4:3 , and also highest/best resolution, which means that P40pro had pic taken with the '50MP AI'
                                  No night mode.

                                  more info? well, neither Xiaomi nor Samsung asked to 'hold the phone still to sharpen the photo' , this means both took the pic pretty much instantly in both modes/resolutions,
                                  ....except Huawei, in 'photo mode' did exactly the opposite, no instant pic can be taken, and the 50MP AI took some 2,5seconds to create the pic;

                                  colors....again Xiaomi did best the other two phones, in both resolution Xiaomi has probably exactly same colors, Samsung slightly differs from pic to pic, Huawei got the colors wrong again, can easily tell that both pics have different tint;

                                    What an overrated phone. I was willing to overlook the lack of GMS if the rest of the phone was solid but unfortunately there's too many compromises. When I first got the phone, the battery was at 57%. I restarted my phone after a software update and suddenly the battery was at 0% and needed recharging. Whut??? The curved screen is an eyesore with the discoloration at the sides. The camera previews suddenly change color before you take a photo. Reviews said the haptic feedback is good but it's trash. When I enable haptics on the keyboard, each press was weak and buzzy. Not crisp or tactile at all.
                                    Hard pass for me.

Not to Professional Photographer, GSMarena, DxO or everyone else. No one agrees with you. The only better thing in 108mp are a lil bit better in details. Thats it. The rest of aspect such as dynamic range, fringing, noise control, blown highlights, artifacts, contrast are always better on the pixel-binned size. Theres nothing wrong having 12mp over a 108mp, given the camera sensor size.

                                      See the differences? Even a simple basic knowledge in photography can just know P40 Pro are overall the better one, by mile. If u dont, I cant help you and stop spreading false statement around by your words. Its embarassing.
