Battery: Over the last couple of years, Huawei has been one of the market leaders in this department. And this time with a slightly larger 4200mAh battery, we expect it to be better or even overcome the whole competitors in the market. While the S10 Plus has 4100mAh, and looking at the numbers, we can say that it’s a negligible difference.
But as we always say: it’s not about how mAh battery has, but it’s about the whole combination work together CPU, GPU, RAM and other electronic parts. The P30 Pro also wins the fast charging by a much less disputable margin at a whole 40W, comparatively to just 15W on the Galaxy S10 Plus.
Performance: When it comes to performance, the P30 Pro honestly lose some points. It’s very hard to find any slowdown in the UI, but the raw power of its Kirin 980 chip just isn’t quite up there with any configuration of the s10 Plus. Both smartphones have advanced cooling for sustained performance over time, but just in terms of raw graphics and gaming capability Galaxy is the way to go.
And something that’s often overlooked, is that Samsung’s Wi-Fi is also more capable. Whilst the p30 pro has a pretty standard 802.11 AC Wi-Fi chip, the s10 has up to four times more throughput with its 802.11 AX system. And in that sense, is just a little bit more future-proofed.
Taking everything into consideration, I would say the S10 plus feels like the more balanced phone it has a headphone jack, it has the GPU to play basically all games at a smooth frame rate, it has a future-proofed Wi-Fi module, a 5G version which the Huawei doesn’t.
And the p30 pro has a few areas where it completely streaks ahead of almost every other smartphone, it is still close to market leading in terms of charging speed and it’s got a camera that can shoot nighttime photos like you’ve never seen before, as well as this crazy five times zoom so definitely it still one of top 6 smartphones in market now.
