Mate 20 lite vs Galaxy S9 Plus
Which one is best for you?
Similar in size and performance, both the Samsung Galaxy S9+ with its near bezel-less 6.2-inch Infinity Display, and the Huawei Mate 20 lite with its 6.3-inch edge-to-edge FullView Display, are excellent smartphones with superb cameras and some powerhouse augmented reality features.
Shoot a 4K surfing video on the beach and slow down time with the Mate 20 lite’s 16x Slow-Mo. The action-oriented 480 frames-per-second recording mode puts every vivid detail of the board and the waves on display. And with the Galaxy S9+, you can pause the moment even up to 960 frames per shot.
Use your camera as a handheld translator – just take a quick photo and both Samsung’s Bixby and Huawei’s HiVision will make those foreign signs speak your language. And if you’re looking for a nearby place to eat or you want to check the calorie count of your snack, they can both do that, too.
Share some fun with your friends and family. You can turn your selfie into an AR Emoji with the Galaxy S9 to express your mood. And create your own AI-powered 3D Qmoji with the Mate 20 lite.
Both phones have excellent screens, cameras and battery life. Find out from the detailed specs list which one fits the bill for you.
