Pixel 3 XL Vs. Galaxy Note 9 Vs. OnePlus 6T Vs. Huawei Mate 20 Pro

It has been one of the busiest years ever for new smartphones. You could even say manufacturers have been releasing too many phones. But the good news is that you're in for a good time. Even better, most of them are excellent smartphones, so you could get close to your eyes, spin in a circle, point to a new flagship and end up with something truly great.

You'll find similar features Smartphones, but there are differences. We are here to help you find the best of the world.

Specs

Performance, batter y life, and charging

While you're in the market, you've got a lot of fun. Huawei's Mate 20 Pro has its proprietary Kirin 980 processor inside a dedicated Neural Processing Unit that handles all the artificial intelligence features. Each of these phones feels the most demanding, and the most demanding apps, Mate 20 Pro has a slight edge and racks up the most high scores in benchmark testing. In everyday use, the Pixel 3 XL feels the slickest because it's unencumbered by a manufacturer of the top of Android.

Where the Pixel falls down is the RAM department as it's made with 4GB, while the others all boast 6GB. If you go for Note 9 and OnePlus 6T you'll get 8GB of RAM. Heavy multitaskers may well feel the difference here, with the extra RAM speeding up the transition between apps to enable you to stay in the memory.

The Pixel also disappoints in the battery department, where the Mate 20 Pro steams ahead again. Not only does it have the largest capacity, but we've found it can last two days between charges. The Pixel 3 XL requires daily charging and the Note 9 and OnePlus 6T struggle to go beyond a day and a half. There is no wireless charging support in the OnePlus 6T, while the other one offers it, however, only the Mate 20 Pro

Winner: Huawei Mate 20 Pro ]

Design and durability

With the deepest, it's not enough to save the Pixel 3 XL here, though we love the matte finish on the glbad back. The Note 9 features Samsung's refined design language with the curved screen, but it's a little squared off – we actually think the S9 Plus is more attractive. The OnePlus 6T is the most desirable phone that the company has dewdrop on the front and the clbady, ​​curved glbad back. The Mate 20 Pro is shaped like the S9 Plus, with a metal frame. It is a pretty sizable notch in the display, but the colorful finish in the glbad on the back reflects light in interesting ways and really catches the eye.

Though there's no IP rating, the OnePlus 6T is still water resistant, but it will not be able to survive a score of IP68 ratings. None of these phones is going to survive a fall, so cases are a sensitive precaution and the Mate 20 is particularly slippery.

Design is subjective, so it's tough to pick a winner here.

Winner : Tie

Display

It's amazing how close these phones are in the display department. They're all exactly the same size, they're all OLED screens, and they're all fantastic. Samsung has long led the field in screen technology, but there is strong evidence here that everyone else is catching up. The Mate 20 Pro has the highest pixel-per-inch rating, but the Note 9 is not interrupted by a notch. Looking at the side-by-side, the OnePlus 6T does not quite match up. Sharpness and color accuracy is amazing across the board, but the Note 9 and Mate 20 Edge edge ahead in brightness. Most popular are not going to see a lot of things, but the Note 9 and Mate 20 Pro win out.

Winners: Samsung Galaxy Note 9 and Huawei Mate 20 Pro

Camera

If you just looked at the numbers here, then the Mate 20 Pro would blow away from the competition with its triple lens setup, but there is more than performance camera than hardware. What is the best way to get the best of both worlds? All these phones can take great photos, but there are two key reasons why Google Pixel 3 XL wins in this category: , and it has the easiest camera app to use. There are definitely areas where the Mate 20 Pro, and even the Note 9 outgun the Pixel, but most people want a camera that delivers great results with minimal fiddling. The Pixel 3 XL is the best camera phone available right now, but if versatility is important to you, then the Mate 20 Pro might be better.

Winner: Google Pixel 3 XL

Software and updates

The Samsung Galaxy Note 9 launched with Android 8.1 Oreo and is still awaiting an Android 9.0 Pie update at the time of writing. The Samsung Experience UI adds a lot of options on top of Android, but there should be some as well. Huawei has thankfully refined its many different customization options and gestures, which is great if you do not mind taking the time to get in the way you want. Oxygen OS on the OnePlus 6T is closest to the clean Android experience that the Pixel offers, but there are a few extra options in there.

Our favorite software experience, and by far the slickest, is offered by the Pixel 3 XL, which should come as no surprise since Google develops Android. None of the others can match exclusive Pixel extras like the Now Playing feature, which identifies music automatically and compiles a list for you, Calling Screening, which takes calls for you and transcribes what is the caller is saying on screen in real time, and then there Also on the way, which will enable you.

Special features

The Huawei Mate 20 Pro is the only one that can be used to another phone, though we're not sure how often you'll use a feature like that. Both the Mate 20 Pro and the OnePlus 6T have in-display fingerprint sensors, but so far we're finding them less reliable than traditional fingerprint sensors. The Pixel 3 XL's special features are all about the software, which we just covered in the last section.

The king of special features is the Samsung Galaxy Note 9, which packs the S Pen with Bluetooth support, which can act as a stylus or a remote control. There's also the DeX mode, which enables the Note 9 to plug into a TV or monitor via cable and a desktop computer. We're not so enamored with Samsung's digital badistant Bixby, but if you have a lot of Samsung devices it could be useful.

Winner: Samsung Galaxy Note 9

Price

The Google Pixel 3 XL is going to cost you $ 900, you can also buy it from Verizon, and the unlocked version will work on all major carriers. The Samsung Galaxy Note 9 is available from all the major carriers for around $ 1,000, though you can find it for closer to $ 900 now if you shop around. The OnePlus 6T costs just $ 550 and will work on AT & T, T-Mobile, or Verizon gold.

The Huawei Mate 20 Pro is the most expensive of the bunch at 1,049 Euros (currently around $ 1,190) and it's not available officially in the US though you can find it cheaper if you search. There is no official carrier for the Mate 20 Pro, but you'll find the bands on the Huawei website; it should work just fine on AT & T or T-Mobile, but there's no 3G support for Verizon or Sprint.

Overall winner: Huawei Mate 20 Pro

This is a winner specs comparison, and on that basis, we're giving the Huawei Mate 20 Pro the win. It is probably the most impressive package of high-end hardware we've seen to date. It offers the best performance, battery life, and charging options. It comes a very close second in the camera department, eclipsing our winner in some situations, and it sports a stunning design. Unfortunately, there is a "goal" coming out and it's a big one: The price and lack of an official US release will mean it's not the best phone for everyone.

For an amazing camera and the slickest, smartest software, the Pixel 3 XL is an easy choice. If you're going to make unique 9th notes, it certainly will not be down to where it did not win. Anyone with a limited budget must consider the OnePlus 6T. Though it clearly finishes in the last place, the fact that it is not completely blown away is a testament to what is a bargain it is.
