camera(Image credit: TheIndianSubcontinent)Cameras are one area where Huawei has really excelled lately, and the Huawei Mate 30 Pro looks to
It has a 40MP ultra-wide f/1.8 lens, a 40MP wide-angle f/1.6 lens, an 8MP f/2.4 telephoto lens (with 3x optical zoom), and a 3D depth

16MP f/2.2 ultra-wide lens, and a 3D depth sensor.For video, you get 2160p at 60fps, HDR10+ support, and a number of other features, such as
'Live Focus Video', which blurs the background behind moving subjects.As for front-facing cameras, the Huawei Mate 30 Pro has a 32MP f/2.0
The Galaxy Note 10 Plus meanwhile has a setup that we described in our review as not the best but the most fun.Huawei Mate 30 Pro vs Samsung
Galaxy Note 10 Plus specs and featuresThe Huawei Mate 30 Pro has a Kirin 990 chipset, 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage
The Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus on the other hand has either a Snapdragon 855 chipset (in the US) or an Exynos 9825 one (elsewhere), paired
with 12GB of RAM and either 256GB or 512GB of storage.So the Note 10 Plus has the RAM and storage edge, but chipset-wise the two should be
similar, as those are all top-end processors.(Image credit: TheIndianSubcontinent)The big difference here is in the software
software based on the open source version of Android 10, and has no access to the Google Play Store or any other Google apps and services
They both have an in-screen fingerprint scanner for example, and both support stylus input, though this is clearly more of a focus for
Samsung.Huawei Mate 30 Pro vs Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus batteryYou get a 4,500mAh battery in the Huawei Mate 30 Pro and a 4,300mAh one in
the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus
and the ability to use the Mate 30 Pro as a wireless charger for other devices.(Image credit: TheIndianSubcontinent)The Galaxy Note 10 Plus
has the same reverse wireless charging trick, and can charge at up to 45W, but its wireless charging is slower at 15W.With all that in mind
The Note 10 Plus meanwhile we found to have a battery that would last more than a day, which is good but not great.Huawei Mate 30 Pro vs
Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus price and availabilityAlong with the software issues, availability is a major problem for the Huawei Mate 30
though it is coming to Australia
Contrast that with the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus, which is available virtually everywhere.As for pricing, the Huawei Mate 30 Pro costs
a 256GB model or $1,199 for a 512GB version, which is currently exclusive to the US
Pricing then for the two phones is very similar.(Image credit: TheIndianSubcontinent)TakeawayThe Huawei Mate 30 Pro could prove a hard sell
That aside, it looks to be a real flagship, with the sorts of specs and features that could make it a true rival for the Samsung Galaxy Note
10 Plus.The Mate 30 Pro has a bigger battery, faster charging, similar core specs and a steeply curved screen, giving it a striking
appearance, but the Note 10 Plus has a larger, sharper display, plus more RAM
Were it not for the software situation, Samsung might have a real fight on its hands.Ne24fAKnDRGTRJQPMydd5Z.jpg?#
