Clash of the Titans Huawei Mate 10 Pro vs. Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus

Samsung Electronics recently revealed its two new phones, the Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9 Plus, during its participation in the Mobile World Congress held in Barcelona. But will Samsung's latest innovation stand out as a worthy competitor in the raging war between Android smartphones? We will compare the Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus with one of its main competitors, the Huawei Mate 10 Pro, which is considered one of the most innovative and powerful smartphones on the market. The “Huawei Mate 10 Pro” phones usher in a new era in the development of smart phones, as it provides a high-level smart experience with a superior camera supported by the capabilities of artificial intelligence, which guarantees a comprehensive smart experience in the mobile phone.

Innovation or promotion?
At first glance, we do not find any clear difference between the "Galaxy S9" and "Galaxy S9 Plus" on the one hand, and the previous two models, "Galaxy S8" and "Galaxy S8 Plus" on the other hand. In terms of appearance, the phone looks as if it is an “S8” or “S8 Plus” with some modifications such as moving the location of the fingerprint sensor to a position under the camera and away from its previously inconvenient place on the side. There is no change in the size of the “S9 Plus” screen, not even in terms of its resolution, as the screen measures 6.2 inches with “AMOLED” technology, with dimensions of 18.5:9, similar to the “S8 Plus”.
The processor is faster, of course - but it's only 2.8GHz compared to 2.3MHz in the S8 Plus, which is the lowest expected upgrade limit, and therefore not much better than the Mate 10's 2.4GHz. However, the "Kirin 970" processor chip is one of the main advantages that Huawei has over the "Galaxy S9"; These processors can be described as a system on a chip, and blend an eight-core CPU, a new generation 12-core GPU, and a dedicated NPU to enhance AI computing capabilities. The Kirin 970 performance allows users to experience a much faster smartphone experience and an unrivaled NPU that is 25 times better than CPU and 50 times more efficient than this unit.

Lighting, camera, photography!
The most notable 'Galaxy' upgrade, according to the manufacturer's announcements, is the 'Reimagining the Camera' slogan. The brand did not know before today the 12-megapixel dual-lens camera, which means its ability to switch between f/1.5 or f/2.4 aperture. Functionalities also included condition-detection autofocus, optical image stabilization, and an LED flash. But Huawei exceeded these developments by degrees beyond imagination. The Huawei Mate 10 Pro's magnificence does not stop at providing the phones with a Leica dual camera, but both cameras feature an f/1.6 aperture to capture more light to enhance the photography experience in low-light environments - a first-of-its-kind feature. in smart phones. Moreover, the second camera in the Huawei Mate 10 comes with a 20-megapixel monochrome sensor, to enable the upscaling of 12-megapixel photos taken to the quality of those captured with a 20-megapixel camera.

However, the Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus phones lack an important element to keep up with the requirements of the times, which is innovation. This is where Huawei brings the Huawei Mate 10 Pro to life, its first smart camera – a true innovation in the world of smartphones. And it's not just about upgrading hardware. The Huawei Mate 10 Pro's AI-powered real-time object and scene recognition with real-time automatic settings allows the camera to automatically adjust and choose optimal settings to help users take better photographs in a range of environments. different. The phone camera also captures enhanced images with bokeh effect details supported by artificial intelligence technology to enjoy a more detailed and close-to-nature transfer between the background and the user. The artificial intelligence-supported digital zoom up to 6-10x allows for clearer focus on distant objects, even if they are written texts.

Do you prefer intelligence or super intelligence?
The Galaxy S8 Plus and Galaxy S9 Plus have the same powerful battery with a capacity of 3500 mAh. While the Huawei phone with the 'Kirin 970' processor includes a massive 4,000 mAh battery, which charges 58% in just 30 minutes. With this, the “Huawei Mate 10 Pro” phone once again pushes the boundaries of introducing new specifications – to highlight the smart management of resources in the artificial intelligence-enhanced battery management technology, which is able to achieve maximum utilization of energy and increase battery life.

The result: little achievements, in hindsight
Based on what most objective reviews have highlighted, the Galaxy S9 Plus is not considered a real innovation, as it is nothing more than an improved version of the Galaxy S8 Plus. Thus, it is not a strong match for the "Huawei Mate 10 Pro", which has proven to have innovative and distinct capabilities, taking the first step towards the era of high intelligence, and thus sparking the artificial intelligence revolution. Which makes the Huawei Mate 10 Pro an absolute winner from our point of view.
