The only thing you got right with is the mono speaker bit, other than that what you just said is an absolute BS. Mods blocked you so that they could shut you up, not so that you could make a new account and troll even harder on the forum.

          The only think I could think of are, they test it in a proper lab, studios, professionally (over 1500 pics tested) over average youtuber reviewer. The conclusion are made by a lot of situation, and they indeed handles a lot of other brand for comparison.

          And they did mention firmware used are newer than other review unit, which will be updated on retail unit later.

                Practically youtubers showed it's not up to the level with others at this point. So, how the hell did the P40 pro get that much score for AF ?

                  P40 - $684
                  P40 Pro - $953

                  Now, on the Pro+, a heavy $1222. Ouch. I know i wont spend that much money for a smartphone. Better buy good quality lens for my actual camera. Or even new camera to my collector's list.

                    I dont think u will find huge gap differents on daylight regarding AF speed between others. Huawei's new AF shine in lowlight, where again in theory, should be better than conventional Dual Pixel.

                            In that regard the Kirin 990 will be compared with Sd 865.

                                  Now,
                                  You can't compare the AF speed unless you hold it side by side. There are youtube videos where you will find how fast is Huawei's AF.
                                  It's slower than iPhone, that means it's slower than the Galaxy note 10 plus too.

                                      I think they should lower the price by a large margin when they release a midrange phone like the P40 Pro. It's way too expensive in terms of what you get for the money. the S20+ is only a little more expensive and with that you'll get stereospeakers, much better display, 120 hz refresh sceen etc.

And moreover the kirin 990 chipset is a 2019 processor whereas Snapdragon 865 is a 2020 processor. So u can't compare them.
