iPhone XS Max vs. Huawei P30 Pro camera comparison

32 40



The Huawei P30 Pro has an excellent camera that has proved to be tough to beat. So how does the flagship Apple iPhone XS Max stack up? I take these two phones through a series of challenges, like how they handle portrait mode and low light and night photos, and test out the extreme zoom on the P30 Pro.

Correction: In the selfie video section at 5:00 the labels of the P30 Pro and iPhone XS Max were swapped. The image on the left is from the P30 Pro and on the right is the iPhone XS Max.

    Nowadays cameras have phones too

  17. XeroTrace says

    As much as I hate apple and their policies, but their device's photos and footage have a professional look to them that's yet to be matched by competing phones.
    But it all goes to waste in the dark; a real shame.
