Huawei Mate 20 Pro vs. iPhone XS Max: What's Better?

Yes. The Huawei Mate 20 Pro is a phone with Android 9 Pie and iPhone XS Max integrates iOS 12 but this battle may be continue beyond your preference for an operating system. The new Huawei phone offers three cameras and interesting configuration options, while the Apple phone is the largest in its history and features a large screen with a few bevels and a slightly smaller eyebrow.

Let's start with. the design The two phones are glbad, although the Huawei phone is available in five different colors, including the beautiful Twilight tone, while the iPhone XS Max comes in traditional silver and space gray, as well as in gold color . In the back, the two cameras slightly exceed, although the Mate 20 Pro is triple and is inside a square frame that makes it slightly larger.

Both phones are slightly larger than the hand. The screen of Huawei Mate 20 Pro is 6.39 inches and that of the iPhone XS Max 6.5 inches. Both are OLEDs, but the Chinese phone has higher resolution and higher pixel density.

Fingerprint sensor on the screen: the differentiating aspect

This year, Huawei did his homework and added a new 3D sensor to his eyebrow, which allows the system facial recognition to be much safer tied with the iPhone XS Max. If this is no longer a strength of the Apple phone, the Max meets a weakness: the Huawei Mate 20 Pro offers an additional method of identification such as the fingerprint sensor on the screen.

In my first tests with the Max did not feel the need to use the sensor because the facial recognition is fast. However, Huawei's phone adds this novelty that does not have Apple.

When we talk about performance, the two phones are totally different because they include different processors and RAM capabilities, as well as different technologies to make the tasks more fluid. However, something different, the iPhone XS Max is offered in storage versions of 64 GB, 256 GB and 512 GB, while the Mate 20 Pro is available in 128 GB and 256 GB. [19659006] Huawei has also launched a new method of increasing storage capacity, through a new NanoSD, while Apple will never allow you to increase storage capacity.

Cameras: The True Tone

Beyond design, colors or its big screen, cameras are something very important. Huawei has integrated a triple camera with wide angle sensor, which promises to give us even better photos than the Huawei P20 Pro. We have compared the camera of the iPhone XS Max to that of the P20 Pro . many times, the Huawei phone won the Apple phone with the same camera XS Max.

In particular, the Huawei phone is equipped with a standard 40 megapixel camera with an aperture of f / 1.8; A 20-megapixel wide-angle lens with an f / 2.2 aperture and a 8-megapixel telephoto lens with an f / 2.4 aperture, while the iPhone XS Max has a 12-megapixel dual, allowing for great portraits without effects, filters and other fun alternatives such as beauty mode.

On paper, Huawei has a battery greater than 4,200 mAh, against 3,179 mAh for the iPhone XS Max, although in this section we will conduct more in-depth testing to determine the phone. He has the best management and battery life. Of course, the fast charge of Huawei should be greater than that of the iPhone, as it has already happened in the past. And although both phones have a wireless charge, only the Huawei understands the reverse wireless charge.

Price

The Huawei Mate 20 Pro starts at 1 049 euros for the 6 GB + 128 GB version, while the iPhone XS Max is from 1099 USD or 1 259 euros for the version of 64 GB storage. And you, which one would you buy?
