That is more worse for battery than 60Hz Display for ASUS Zenfone 6. Of course, the battery capacity of the ASUS ROG PHONE II and the amoled are better than the ASUS Zenfone 6. However, I think the 120Hz display is worse than their advantages in battery efficiency.

I tries them both and the mate 40 pro is way better. Yeah, the mi note 10 pro pics definitely looked better than the pics of xiaomi cc9 pro that gsmarena posted in their preview but still can't compete with the huawei. Yeah, there is the occasional photo that manages to look better but 9 out of 10 times the mate will produce a more natural and detailed photo. The 108Mp sensor has potential and probably samsung will realise it in s11 but then the p40 pro will be out and they'll have to compete with it. Right now the mate 30 pro is the king.

The Mate 30 Pro completely destroys the Mi Note 10. It's not even close in every lightning condition and in both the main and the wide-angle lens. Just take two pictures side by side and zoom them in. Absolutely no one who you show the pictures will tell you the Mate 30 Pro is close second. They'll laugh at you

                lesch, 24 Nov 2019But my hand has the same size as in 2017But phones have become compact in terms of dimensions.
                Screen size has gone up, dimensions are the same.
                You are assuming that 6.5 inches phone from 2019 has bigger footprint than 5.5 inch phone from 2017.
                Fun part is that the phone footprint is same, only screen size is bigger.

                      How is the ROG phone 2 not the #1 battery phone? It has the highest battery life from the review on GSM arena and at 6000mah its also got the largest battery on this list.

                        Camera king Mi Note 10? Good joke. Maybe this phone can shoot very good pictures in good light conditions, but very bad at night and it is a very slow soother. The Mate 30 Pro is much better.

                              The only difference on RN8T is NFC support, other than that it's the same phone as non T version.

                              Also, why is 6 inches compact?

The details are just otherworldly. Sadly in any other condition, it can not compete. Simply put it doesn't have solid software to go along with it.

                                      Shui8, 23 Nov 2019100% agree. Hands down both Mate 30 Pro & Iphone 11 Pro... moreMi Note 10 has the best camera hardware and that's it. At the high end, it's the software optimization that matters most. They have to go a long way before they can even be competitive in software optimization.
