Mate 20 Pro vs. Galaxy Note9

[Tsepz_GP]

So there has been A LOT of YouTube videos on the performance of these two beasts, and the conclusion seems to be that Huawei has caught up in a lot of areas and even surpassed Samsung in others (much faster charging, camera features etc...)

What do you guys think? Has Huawei caught up and has Samsung become a little complacent?

Here are some of the videos I've seen comparing the two devices


Charging test

Speed test

Battery Drain tests

Benchmark test

Nice, but somehow I do not think Huawei will convince me to move to their brand. I am extremely happy with my Note 9 and its performance.

Agree

Note 9 is just perfect for my daily use.

I'm thinking the Mate 20 Pro is a really great alternative to the Note 9. Unless you use the stylus, the Huawei looks the better phone in my opinion

I think this is it. We finally have a thorough alternative to the Galaxy Note.

I love the S Pen... But in tech... On paper Huawei really pushed this time around... I can't wait to see the Mate 20 pro and see it is what they claim it is

Highly impressed with what Huawei has achieved in just a few short years!

The oaks/okes at GSMArena are seriously impressed with this beast:

The Mate 20 Pro is impressive, just that Mali GPU that is behind but does not look like something one will notice in real life usage.

Why do they all call "Opening of Apps" a speedtest? The only thing that tests is the load time from internal storage to memory. They should just call it internal Storage read rate and show the actual read rates

Another battery comparison, this time comparing:

OnePlus 6T
iPhone XR
iPhone X S Max

Again the Mate 20 Pro shows its battery muscle:

Watched it last night.
What they should do is show the mW drain per hour or something.

Is the Mate 20 Pro a dual sim device?

 

[I.am.Sam]

[Dolby]

Is the Mate 20 Pro a dual sim device?

Not through Vodacom or MTN.

I have a review sample which is dual - but through Telkom (and I think Cell C?) they are as well.

I must say this is my 1st dual SIM device and I'll never go back to single. I've been able to save hundreds of Rand everything month because of it! (and now I see why Vodacom hate dual SIMs
