16 April 2019
The combined score for the rear camera matches the Huawei P30 Pro, but the S10 5G pulls ahead with a much better selfie camera.

Shadow Snypa786, 17 Apr 2019Is there a softare upgrade to make the Kirin 980 record in ... moreActually, the GPU and ISP of the Kirin 980 is powerful enough to handle 4K@60fps, it's only a matter of Huawei implementing it through an update, so YES, IT CAN be fixed with an update.

Wide angle selfie? Yeah sure no software update could fix it, but a monopod could.

Now that I've answered your doubts, you might as well give yours. It's clever of you to throw questions without being able to actually answer back from the initial point.

    In dxo review it's been mentioned that portraits are now in tele by default. Before portrait shot's were not shot by tele camera.thats why distortion has decreased. Not that the information for bokeh(meaning the depth map) is coming from tele camera.

      Shanti Dope, 17 Apr 2019Best stabilization so far is from the Steady Shot on the S1... moreSteady shot on S10 only available at 1080p. And on that resolution, P30 Pro shows great stabilization as well, even a bit better than S10 Steady shot.

        Nick Tagataka, 17 Apr 2019I agree with you for the 4K60 part, but for everything else... more"Samsung does better selfies images"
        Source? Of course apart from DxOMark."

        No youtubers like Mrwhosetheboss, MKBHD, PhoneArena

        "But P30 Pro supports real time video HDR"
        The s10 has auto HDR

        "has superior 1080p video stablisation"
        No it still has high detail

        "the wide angle is even wider"
        "And you'll get more barrel distortion and purple fringing"
        Hence why Samsung have shape correction to fix barrel distortion.

                Shui8, 17 Apr 2019Base on this test, i think P30 Pro has the best stabilizati... moreBest stabilization so far is from the Steady Shot on the S10 series, but iPhones are best at video recording.
                Microphones on iPhones are good, at least better than the Pixels, but most Android flagships still have better ones, especially LG and Sony.
                Huawei's stabilization is good in 1080p, and the only thing that's left for them is to optimize the 4K video stabilization to be as good as it is in 1080p, because I sincerely doubt the Kirin 980 ain't that powerful enough to handle the task.

                  And we all know Samsung camera always add a bit of vibrancy to its picture, but not to the level we called oversaturate, like older P20 Pro did.

                      i can't believe on DxO they all are fake they gets money to show better score

                        In daytime blind tests, the results are similar to what most people believe. It's great to have 5x zoom and excellent low light. But those aren't the majority of the photos taken.

Samsung cameras have definitely improved. It's not DSLR quality, and no smartphone will be for another 5 years. But it has improved noticeably. If you cant notice it, the doubt is on you.

                            Video recording problems on P30 Pro can be resolved with software update. Mate 20 Pro had decent stabilization in 4K, and it's only a matter of polishing before the P30 Pro receives the same treatment.

                            Now, is there an update for the S10 5G that will allow it to have RYYB setup and gain 40% more light compared to traditional RGB setup?
                            I'd like to have a software update on the S10 5G where it'll increase the sensor size to 1/1.7" (because 1/2.55" is so 2014, duh!)
                            I also want an update where the S10 5G extends its 2x optical zoom up to 5x optical zoom like the P30 Pro
                            Lastly, I also want an update that allows the S10 5G to go all the way up to ISO 409600 in low light situations

All this hype just to m... moreFirst of all not a fanboy but have to say this. that 10 x zoom aint a gimmick no other smartphone can match that quality as of now exception of new oppo reno. having this much control in the phone which the s10 couldn't match. and being a Sammy fanboy yourself calling the zoom gimmick aint acceptable
                                        s10 is good in video and better selfie. still image both are in par, at low light Huawei totally destroys even without using night mode as in paper s10 should get more light but the new RYB sensor in Huawei is something new and hopefully others will catch up.

                                        And don't say as if Samsung is unbeatable its due to Huawei last year with p series and mate series all manufacturers started stepping up especially in camera dept.


                                        And lastly not mentioning u. but in general all of u Sammy fans where so salty saying Huawei is paying DXOMARK for getting high score when their score came. when it comes to Samsung u all fans just accept that. I don't trust any results until I see it in person and I have seen both.
