Which one is best for you?
Both the Samsung Galaxy Note9 and the Huawei P20 are powerful contestants if you want an incredible phone with AI-driven technology.
Whether you’re film buff or a gamer, you’ll enjoy how strikingly real your heroes and avatars appear on the 5.8-inch FullView Display of the P20 and the 6.4-inch Super AMOLED Display of the Galaxy Note9 – all in vivid and bright colours.
Both the Galaxy Note9 and the P20 will immerse you in sound with the Dolby Atmos sound system. Surround yourself with crisp 3D sonic expressions that give you a movie theatre-like experience.
You’ll love the seamless performance of the Galaxy Note9’s Snapdragon chip and the P20’s Kirin processor. Engineered for speed, the cutting-edge processors of both models switch smoothly between apps to get things done fast. And they both boast all-day batteries, though the Note9’s massive 4000 mAh battery is even more powerful than the P20’s 3400 mAH. Whichever you choose, they’re likely to get you through your day on a single charge.
Both models are excellent choices, but if you’re an S-Pen fan, you’ll probably go for the Samsung Galaxy Note9, complete with Bluetooth-enabled stylus. However, if you’re seeking to level up your photography skills, the Huawei P20 with the Leica dual camera will let you do just that.
