Want better colors in low light? What about ryyb 10mp 1/1.7" sensor, other than pixel size and aperture, only sensor tech center help, not that ryyb can win over 3layer from Xperia just compare to xz2compact or other Xperia for low light colors.

    With the right alogrithm the Monochrome + RGB combo will produce better result in every situation not only low light but it also require more processing power.

    And from what i can see so far RYYB sensor perform great in low light but i can't say the same about colors.

      Headphone jack? yes
      Only one single firing speaker at the bottom. Won't be buying this.

        Recording studios that make the music we hear do not use USB C or bluetooth headphones.

          AnonD-816568, 13 Apr 2019Monochrome sensor will gather more lights than RYYB sensorTrue. But this RYYB sensor alone are brighter than P20 pro that got monochrome sensor. Even Auto mod on P30 can get a lot brighter in dark area without sacrificing quality than Night Mod on P20 Pro.

          I'll say P30 move to ditch monochrome & replace it with wide angle is more versatile.

                p30 is 200euros cheaper than s10 ,same price as s10e so p30 is better option in every way.

                    It's a pretty good phone. Should've mentioned that push notifications still got some problems. Also the recent screen sucks, it's not only awful to use it also got a blue tint when using a third party launcher. Disabling Huawei launcher with adb gives you a much better but overall uglier overview without the blue tint. Breaks gestures but much better overall. Also the performance is good but kinda weird, YouTube is quite laggy while playing a video if you wanna read comments or scroll through your feed.

                          "On the upside headphones did less damage to the stereo quality on the P30 than they did on the USB-C-outputting P30 Pro."

                          This is why good-ole 3.5mm jack is way SUPERIOR AND TRUSTED by audiophiles and music industry in general around the world.

                              Clever technique by Huawei.

                                I think it's a good deal for the price. This phone is meant to compete with the XR & the E, and I think it's very competitive with those two.

                                  I want to know this: Would you prefer the B&W lens on the previous P20 Pro or the ultrawide lens on the latest P30?

                                  Because as far as I can see in terms of camera setup, that's the only difference between each other. I do aware about the dual-LED flash on the P30, but that's not much important.

Exynos 9820 has faster GPU, but P30 has lower resolution of S10, so it's a bit faster in 3D. Yet S10e is far more faster for its lower resolution as well.

                                      Main problem of Exynos is very poorly written governors. Exynos-based devices hogging the battery very dramatically and lagging quite a lot up to serious freezes sometimes.

                                      Yet comparing to Kirin 980, Exynos 9820 is capable of 4K60 recording and has Wi-Fi 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6) support.

                                        One important thing about Gsmarena Review that they Do Not comment on "Call Quality" of cellphones generally.
                                        There is a section called Audio Quality where speaker's performance is particularity mentioned or described.
                                        My point is Call Quality is also important as far as mobile phone is concerned. Clarity of other side's talks, noise reduction quality, volume in both side talks, how other party is hearing... these all are very important points to be taken care of and mentioned clearly in the review...
