Huawei P20 vs Samsung Galaxy S9 Quick Look

Samsung took a more reserved approach with the Galaxy S9, bringing only a handful of notable tweaks to its 2018 flagship from the S8 lineup. Huawei, on the other hand, has just launched a new phone that looks almost completely different from its predecessor. Join Josh as he compares the Huawei P20 and Samsung Galaxy S9.

Why is this about the P20 Pro when the title says P20? These are two separate models...

[bogdanmorcov]

It's Huawei P20 PRO and Samsung Galaxy S9 PLUS!!
I was expecting for Android Authority to know that :)

[marcelj.]

rose are red,
violets are blue,
in the titel it's P20

You are comparing the P20 Pro, the title says regular P20

[karll]

The design of Hauwei P20 looks amazing! 👍

What's the point of the notch if a big fat chin is still underneath?

[abdurrahmanalchoughri]

the s9 has tracking AF which is similar to motion tracking on the p20
the s9 does have Phase detection AF, like the p20

DOES NO ONE READ SAMSUNG'S DOCUMENTS

the s9+ is the safer bet, but the p20 pro is definitely the more fun and interesting phone. Also wanted to mention that the Mate RS Porsche Design tops them both

[JuniorPsuarez]

The only bad thing about the P20 is the fingerprint scanner in the front i mean make no sense with the notch

[oldwhale]

I changed the battery for 3 years old S6 edge for another 3 years use. It's still so good.

Samsung is playing it safe
Huawei is risking it
... I like risktakers

[guymarkovich]

The only thing I see that's even worth considering the Huawei P20 over the S9+ is for the camera...
I personally think the S9+ is better all around.

The only thing I hate about huawei is there software and iphone "ish" design. The mate series have a great and unique design. I don't understand why they went with this notch and it doesn't even bring any functionality.

[jozefs]

p20 has no 3 cameras, you are reviewing P20 plus ffs

[soleilgs]

Definitely more interested in the Huawei and I'm a Samsung soldier

[kokolitanker]

huawei P20 i was better than the samsung galaxy S9

[neojeets]

Lol I love how they actually call it the Notch in their software.

[hochengyuan]

S9 still the winner in terms of design and software.

[UrbaneTech]

Wow that looks of the is just mind frecking blowing.... Huawei just nailed it 😍😍😍
