I've only recently switched over to the galaxy s 10 II as my primary Android phone it's still a very fresh phone to me but last week the P 30 and the P 30 Pro came out from hallway and I thought I'd give them a run now just right off the bat I have a strong preference for the P 30 over the P 30 Pro there's just a bunch of reasons I'll go through the big one for me is size obviously if you've seen my channel I like smaller phones but it's also like the flat screen I have mentioned before in the past how it's Samsung's curved edges on their phones it's not something that I find particularly useful very beautiful to look at but they're just like urgh anomaly strange to me and the curve on the the p30 pro it's even more pronounced it's just not a comfortable phone for me so I like the flat screen of the p30 more than the pro and finally it's the headphone jack I'm someone that still values the analogue headphone jack I feel like a lot of people don't care about it at this point but I just have a lot of regular headphones that I use and I like the headphone jack okay camera wise these are both fantastic cameras for the people that are interested in the 50 times zoom on the p30 Pro it's a cool feature but it borders on gimmicky like there's just so little real world use for it I feel like for most people I know for myself I would never use that thing I would set up like the first couple of days to see how cool it is it's just it's cool but it's you know you know what I'm talking about alright p30 however has a fantastic camera they both have fantastic cameras but the night mode it's unbelievable it's essentially night vision like it'll capture usable images when it looks completely dark to my eye it takes a few seconds to capture the image like any phone doing a dedicated night shot but it's honestly impressive and it produces better results than the competitors the regular low-light photos so that's just like auto mode in lower light but not pitch-black those are also very good but I don't think it stands out as far ahead from the competition if anything I'd say that the pixel 3 has slightly cleaner photos when you're just doing auto mode but the p30 phones have excellent cameras all around one thing I did notice in terms of the camera it's not where's camera for stills but for video and you'll see it in other videos where the image looks a little pink like particular skin tones they just look very red or pink and I just have like a theory on that these phones were made by qua way a Chinese company and I think the majority of the people buying these phones are gonna be from China and there's a thing about skin tone like so I'm Asian I have Asian descent and I have like yellowish skin and so when I shoot my videos I have to color correct them in a way so that they have like more of a pinkish hue to it so when I look at my video footage from these cameras it looks Pinker than normal but it looks good to me and it's maybe because of my skin tone I'm not entirely sure but so I did a video with Lou from unbox therapy Wow must forgot channel name and on his set I look really yellow like his skin looks normal but I look like I'm from The Simpsons so I thought maybe it's possible that who always using this kind of color tint or color grading on their video footage to make Asian people look more natural I'm not entirely sure but I actually looked at this video footage and I'm okay with it now video is not this camera strong point it's definitely stills like it's phenomenal for stills but just thrown that theory out there Oh fingerprint sensor I don't like the optical fingerprint sensor on these phones I prefer the ultrasonic on Samsung's phones and actually prefer capacitive sensors over any of these in display sensors but I definitely prefer the ultrasonic on the Samsung over the optical on the p30s software-wise I don't love emui it's been like this every year there's just something about the software that feels a little bit glitchy a little bit unrefined it's something that maybe people love but I just use this thing for a few days and I immediately remind myself of why I don't love EMU i but you can always throw a skin on this thing the speaker quality on the p30 phones are also surprisingly mediocre they sound very muffled I'm not sure if it's on that they can fix with software but both of these phones I remember the p20 Pro from last year had better sounding speakers in both these that's just my memory of it these sound quite muted and they also don't have stereo speakers like the s10 devices have also if you're from the US and you want to purchase this thing overseas understand that there's probably no warranty if you're from the US because these things are not allowed to be sold there now the reason why I made this video kind of to help people decide between the two phones like if you're gonna get a s10 or like one of the galaxy s 10 or s10 a or s10 plus devices or one of these new P 30 devices now on paper these phones are like they're amazing they're similarly priced but the huawei phones because it has such an amazing camera it would seem that this would be the phone to get but there's something about the galaxy phones this year that just make them feel like a better phone overall maybe I like the OLED punch out on the screen better maybe I like the software a little bit better it's a little bit more refined than the emui version that we're getting on the p30 phones I don't know they're great on paper those cameras are crazy good but I still have preference for the s10 so I guess the takeaway here is if you're interested in one of these phones either the Samsung phones or the koala way phones take a look at the feature that you're drawn to and think is it something I would use regularly frequently or is it something that a company is trying to sell me
