Why wasn't the Nokia 9 Pureview included in the comparison? The only aspect it would not have been competitive is the lack of a telephoto zoom.

finally a phone camera that beats Sony XZ2, and very similar to the King: Moto X force.

But low light champion is still XZ2 (yes, XZ3 is not as good)

Thanks for the comparison. You guys did a good job as always.
Just a comment here. In normal life, it could be a situation that 3x zoom is enough and 5x zoom is just too much. In this 3x zoom case, does P30 Pro image better than Mate 20 Pro?

Am I blind, or the P30 colors look worst of all??? The Sky looks blue in Pixel 3, but much less blue in P30.

P30 photos look like no color, Pixel 3 is the best. Surprisingly Mi9 also very nice.

I am too old and too lazy to carry my DSLR every time and everywhere. About video, it's really seldom when I use it and 1080p video quality is pretty OK. Enough for me.

Walter C. Dornez, 27 Mar 2019Agreed. Though, you must admit, it seems everybody needs ca... morethe p30 pro camera is better than it seems, but for some reason huawei keeps it capped at 10mpx, look at the full 40mpx samples in the review article and the difference in detail is amazing compared with the 10mpx samples, exposure time, dynamic range and ISO is about the same so I don't see any reason to shoot at 10mpx instead 40mpx.

In this comparison Pixel photos looks sightly sharper and more detailed than huawei lower resolution photos, however this is by far not the best P30 pro can do, look at the P30 pro review article in camera section at the full 40mpx samples compared with the AI default 10mpx default photos and the differfence in detail is huge also the post-processing sharpening is gone, the dynamic range and exposure time (wich seems to be lower for P30 pro than for most competition under similar conditions) is about the same for both 10mpx and 40mpx resolutions, so I don't even know why Huawei decided to keep the 10mpx as default mode but with such good quality sensor this camera in 40mpx mode can obliterate competition also in good light conditions.

And I will have zero complains about Xiaomi Mi 9 despite numerous drawbacks presented there. As I can see from this and other Mi 9 reviews, the photos quality and overall camera system capability certainly isn't more than twice worse as its price. That's my point. It all comes down to the price after all.

Basically it turns it into just a pocket camera. And locked bootloader leaves as no choice. This and other inherent issues certainly don't justify such a high price tag. Also fresh sour taste of my personal experience with Mate 20 Pro clearly tells me: "No way I'll spend $1000 on Huawei phone again!". Xiaomi Mi9 looks much more attractive option among all batch of phones in this review. Especially with $484 price tag on AliExpress Anniversary Sale.
