Which one is best for you?
Whether you’re dreaming of directing your own films, or you want to preserve your precious memories, both the Huawei Mate 20 Pro and Samsung Galaxy S9 will transform your videos into movies.
Both models come equipped with superb cameras, large screens and big batteries, so you can shoot stunning images and video footage with both models. But the Mate 20 Pro has even more juice, and its triple-lens Leica camera is packed with more pixels.
Create captivating Super Slow-Mo videos with the Galaxy S9 to share them with your family and friends. Record the right moments at the right times, and add music to your video from a preloaded selection, or from your own playlist. Immerse yourself in a cinematic experience with the Mate 20 Pro. Thanks to real-time HDR, your footage will come out with superior clarity and in classic 21:9 ratio – just like on the silver screen. Vintage or neo noir? Choose from a range of filters to apply and create the mood you want – in real time.
Need your own personal assistant? Both the Samsung and Huawei models can handle your everyday tasks – even helping you to keep fit. Shop for clothes, buy presents on the go, and measure your lunchtime calorie intake.
If you want to unleash your creativity and complete everyday tasks smoothly, either the Galaxy S9 or the Mate 20 Pro will do the job nicely. If you’re willing to pay more for the extra battery power and Leica optics, choose the Huawei – and if you want the Always-On display and an iris scanner that securely unlocks your phone with a glance, go for the Galaxy S9.
