Huawei P30 vs Galaxy S10e

Smartphones are growing increasingly expensive, a fact which Huawei and Samsung both addressed by launching less expensive versions of their high-end flagships.

These are not budget devices, but flagship smartphones with the same powerful chipsets and features as their more expensive counterparts.
 
Samsung must stick to fridges and microwaves... That's what they are good at.
 
The article is biased to Huawei

The S10e is cheaper and better than the Huawei.
 
Their camera systems are very different, however, with Huawei’s P30 offering an additional lens and a higher megapixel count compared to the Galaxy S10e.
You're quoting MP as though it changes the image quality? Most of it is software and processing.
Both handsets have high-quality OLED displays, a physical audio jack, and use USB Type-C chargers.
One of the most important differences in the specifications of these two devices is their battery size. The Galaxy S10e has a 3,100mAh battery, which is eclipsed by the P30’s impressive 3,650mAh cell.
15W vs 22W fast charge difference might have been good to add as well, Huawei's one is faster.
In terms of software, the Huawei P30 has a clear advantage in that it runs Android 10 compared to the Galaxy S10e’s Android 9 operating system.
Now wtf is this sentence. Huawei is still rolling it out, at most 2 weeks ago, and Samsung is also rolling it out this week. This statement is just false, because not all Android 10 is equal.

The Huawei device also includes GPU Turbo technology, which offers greatly improved power efficiency and performance when gaming compared to other Android devices.
Aka reduce graphics quality. I think the user should have a choice in this, personally I'd rather have the extra graphics if the phone can handle it.
Note this sentence as well:
Both the P30 and Galaxy S10 use the latest flagship chipsets available from each manufacturer, offering high-end performance on the latest CPU architecture.

Take a look at: https://www.androidauthority.com/snapdragon-855-vs-exynos-9820-vs-kirin-980-929775/

The P20 Pro has the same chip as the P30: https://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=9537&idPhone2=9530
That's quite a performance gap.
749867

Also not taking into account that the 980 cannot capture 4k60fps:
749869
Or record in HEVC using hardware acceleration.

The price of the two devices makes it difficult not to pick the Huawei P30, however, as it is two-thirds of the price of the Galaxy S10e.
And as others have said, you picked the most expensive listed price of the S10e you could, why not just get a normal S10 off of Takealot then (which is still overpriced): https://www.takealot.com/samsung-galaxy-s10-128gb-single-sim-prism-black/PLID54540628


Things you failed to mention which is why I like the S10e:
The size, 142mm is small again, it fits really easily in the hand, and at 150g it's pretty light versus the 165g 149mm P30. It is actually noticeable.

@Bradley Prior / @Jamie McKane @rpm why do you publish articles like this and not mark them as sponsored? If they aren't sponsored, why aren't you asking for money as that would be better than admitting that your "journalism" can't even entail googling the topic for more than 20 seconds.
 

I don't think he's totally wrong.

Does MP mean anything at all in photography?
Or is it totally meaningless / irrelevant ?
If it does mean something - I reckon he's allowed to mention it?

And regarding the software, I guess he could mention that Samsung is going to do it - but as of now, he's not wrong, is he ?
I think everyone I know with a P30P is using the latest Android - and no one with the Samsung is running the latest?

As for performance, in the real world - the P30P does seems to outperform the S10 in everything?
Bootup? Fingerprint scanner? 3rd party apps? Internal? Games?

At the MP of both of them, yes, it's pretty much negligible compared to the software/processing.

It's mentioned as though it's the only thing that matters.
And regarding the software, I guess he could mention that Samsung is going to do it - but as of now, he's not wrong, is he ?
I'm not even sure the South African version got Android 10. Then security updates are also a factor. And as I said, Android 10 is not all equal.

Why are you quoting the P30 Pro vs the S10? This is the P30 vs S10e.

In regards to Gary explains, did they take into account that Huawei uses GPU turbo to cheat for benchmarks?

Um. Ok

I'm not even sure the South African version got Android 10. Then security updates are also a factor. And as I said, Android 10 is not all equal

Ah. I see.

What is your S10 running right now in terms Android and security updates?

In regards to Gary explains, did they take into account that Huawei uses GPU turbo to cheat for benchmarks?

Um - this doesn't make any sense to me?
You know the videos were real world, right?
Or is that somehow manipulated / cheating too?
And I think the P30 and P30 use the same GPU/CPU?

EDIT : You say this article is bias towards Huawei - but by removing the camera info that you don't like to see, removing the software info that bothers you - and then pretending the S10 is faster, is really showing bias the other way
 
What is your S10 running right now in terms Android and security updates?
Ah I see, what is the South African P30 running right now in terms of updates?

Google Huawei cheating benchmarks. "real world" lol.

I'm not sure what is has in terms of software - I don't have one.

I'm also not trying to catch you out - I don't have an S10e and it may really be on Android 10 / November security?

Google Huawei cheating benchmarks. "real world" lol.

I'm still not really understanding what you're saying.
