AnonD-731363, 27 Aug 2019https://www.dxomark.com/category/smartphone-reviews/ Man... moreYou alone wrote that Note10+ is better on back camera by one point... so your Chinese crap is on second!
Please also write the selfie camera score... Samsung=99 Huawei=89... 10 POINTS difference!
Average: Huwaei=100.5points and Samsung= 106 points => 5.5 points ahead for Samsung...

But no... Huawei is the best... maybe at this false advertising!!!

And also 1080p display on the flagship(~1000$)? Is like you say... "why to buy a Mercedes S-class when you can buy a WV Golf at the same price"...

You can't find an argument... only one(CPU, display, software...)... where Huawei is leading... because is a Chinese communist copy paste... only false propaganda!!!

    Dolanescu, 27 Aug 2019What a joke... On DOxmark Huawei is in the top at the back... morePixel has never really offered the best software experience.
    And you're a fool if you can't see the advantage of the kirin chip.
    Plus a77 and mali g77 are beasts. It will be the most powerful chip around.. in android realm. But it won't be very far behind apple. And that's only cause they are likely to only use a 10 core mali again. A 12-16 core mali g77 could match or surpass even the a12 gpu.

        Dolanescu, 27 Aug 2019What a joke... On DOxmark Huawei is in the top at the back... moreOn DOxmark Huawei is in the top at the back camera but for the front camera is a disaster!!! so on the camera department, Huawei is below the average!!!
        (This is a pure lie and if back camera is 100% as you said top and front is 10% because zero means no from camera we get a 55% which is above average). Learn the math please.

        On the CUP side... together with scams and tricks always better than MediaTek only... Qualcomm, Apple and Samsung are always better.
        This is another LIE. Apple is faster but is famous for throttling and useless for long gaming seasions. It can run any game pretty fast but also drains battery pretty fast when gaming due to fact Apple is famous for low battery and a very long charging times which makes gaming on these phones obsolette. On other hand Samsung chips are famous for overheating where Kirin works pretty well even on long gaming seasions. As a good example Samsung never invented even a single gaming phone where Huawei made Mate 20 X and its sucessor with 5G technology Mate 20X 5G.
        And the Kirin 710 was known as a first gaming CPU made. Due to a better cooling technology than any other CPU before had.
        Only real gaming chips are Snapdragon and maybe the 90T by mediatek which will be powering Redmi Note 8 Pro. And some Kirin chips like Kirin 710 and other Kirin 7xx and 8xx and 9xx CPUs. Samsung chips are completely useless for gaming and even users with best Samsung flagship currently available which is note 10 whinning when they have inside Exynos 9825 (7 nm) instead of SD855.

        On display side... as everyone knows... Knows what??? All huawei phones have excellent screens like Samsung or Apple but not as good as Sony which uses 4K for its flagships.
        But having anything bigger than FHD on a 6 inch screen is pointless. Not even a guy on radar from a largest New York airport wont spot a difference on a 6 inch screen between full HD, 2K or 4K its completely useless. And knowing the fact the phone have 4K screen compared to full HD makes no difference in real life usage.

        On software side google pixel own everything...
        Until Harmony will be created and by the way most phones have great software maybe apart Samsung ONE UI which is full of bloatware and Xiaomi UI which have gazzilions of ads but luckily for experienced users theses can be turned off in settings.
        Pure android is best android among all android devices because any UI contains too much bloatware only exception is Cyanogen by Oneplus which is far better than clean android.
        Not even Google Pixel have such a good OS and optimized software.

        Sell this garbage to stupid people... not here!!!
        Calling a Mate 30 pro garbage means you have no clue about mobile technology and i have no idea what you doing on these pages i suggest you to go to toy store and buy a toy phone from there thats would suits all your needs.
        Wish you a very nice day.

              And thats not a joke but a welcome truth.
              S9 and have more quality than Huawei flagships you are funny.
              On any Doxmark score Huawei wins among any brand for having best camera phones possible to buy.
              On a benchmark Score last Kirin were as good as lst Snapdragon CPU. This will be same.
              But i believe Kirin 990 will beats Snapgradon 855 maybe even 855 plus.
              And when comes to Ai processing nothing is better than Kirin.

                I dont think so and even if it will be true 4K setup is good for ultra fast battery killing spree.
                Rather set screen to something where i can play game for several hours than several minutes. Same goes for video recording.

                  Mi7even, 26 Aug 2019well , i got the gpu turbo and in pubg i can never go above... moreIts way more complicated than that. Gpu Turbo lock its fps based on various of games. And like i said, when playing games for sure it'll lock more than 60% as stress benchmark does. Plus GPU on Kirin 980 alone way more powerful than GPU inside SD730. Almost double the performance.

                      That was your mistake. And now that you have been called out you are being immature about it.

                          Dazzler, 25 Aug 2019Have u got the Gpu Turbo update on your Mate 9? If u do, ha... morewell , i got the gpu turbo and in pubg i can never go above High fps (30 fps lock) but anyways , i didnt try it with the last 9.1 update , and if i want to buy a phone that gives 60% of it's performance i'd go for a mid range instead with SD730 and so on , it will give even better performance at it's 85%+ than a 60% Kirin 980 , u get what i mean?

                            4k 60fps? this was available on Samsung s9 :))) so you better buy an s9 at half of the price and better quality :D

You said apple is great and samsung ... moreSo did it look like I was talking about the past and not what's going on right now to you? Just in case if I was not clear enough, yes I was talking about the current situation. What else did you think I was trying to say?

                                  "And factually calling you out for such is not simply insulting or attacking you"
                                  Because suddenly calling someone "self proclaimed elitists" isn't an insult, am I right? If you thought I was wrong then you could've simply told me that I was without acting like a complete dick. If I had been talking to you in a rude manner then you obviously would've had a right to do so, but it clearly wasn't the case here.

You compared the a75 from samsung...their mid core...to the high cores of kirin. And rumored ones at that. It probably will be a77, but we dont 100 yet.
                                      Either way deliberately compared their a75 mid cores to huaweis top cores instead of their m4 top cores.
                                      Which the m4 cores are a new core from this year. And you calles them two years old...
                                      Even if they are based off a75...which please prove that...They are still newly developed much more modified and better versions. So even if they were...which i dont think they are. You are still deliberately acting as if they are stock a75 cores. Which is non factual and illogical. Its in fact you being the fanboy trll. But you are claiming others are despite your own words proving its you.

                                      And when I called you out for it you you then proceeded to talk about the a55 cores when not one word i said in anyway lead to them.

                                        Mi7even, 25 Aug 2019check this article and u will see https://www.gsmarena.com/... moreHave u got the Gpu Turbo update on your Mate 9? If u do, have u make sure your games listed in App Assistant (emui 9) / Game Suite (emui 8), and the Performance mod turned on?

                                        Strange, my older Honor 8 Pro with the same Kirin 960 equipped can feel the differences before & after the Gpu Turbo update. Mobile Legend, PUBG, all smooth even after hours of gaming. Just make sure u did the above as mentioned.

                                        And that link test u gave is exactly what Gpu Turbo intended. They drop the fps to the most stable level and lock it, provides smooth gaming all the way, with less power usage. Considering the benchmark is a stress test, the dropping are hard, but when play games i'm pretty sure it'll lock it on higher fps. Throttling means u drop the fps after long term of usage, become worsen & worsen overtime, causing sluggish stability. U can see that P30 Pro lock it at 60% all the way, without dropping further.
