During the event, you will able to see some comparison of Huawei P20/P20 Pro with the Apple and Samsung smartphones without naming the model specifically. They do look impressive especially on the 5x Hybrid Zoom that allow you to take clear photos from far. Night photography photo also seems convincing from the display. However, if you want an accurate comparison between Huawei P20 series smartphone with other brand of latest smartphone like iPhone X and Samsung Galaxy S9+, the best way is to check out the review and comparison video available on YouTube. Here's one of the video which I find it helpful:

| Huawei P20 Pro features THREE rear camera lens - 40MP RGB sensor, a 20MP monochrome sensor and an 8MP sensor with telephoto lens |
The HUAWEI P20 Series reflects the art of light, with camera features that enhance the smartphone photography experience. The HUAWEI P20 Pro features a Leica triple camera with the highest total pixel count on a smartphone available in the market – the camera configuration is comprised of a 40MP RGB sensor, a 20MP monochrome sensor and an 8MP sensor with telephoto lens. It also features a color temperature sensor for better color reproduction. With f/1.8, f/1.6 and f/2.4 wide aperture to capture crisp, clear details, the HUAWEI P20 Pro also includes a brand new Leica 3x telephoto (VARIO-SUMMILUX-H 1:1.6-2.4/27-80ASPH) lens for long-range photography of up to 5x Hybrid Zoom. The HUAWEI P20 Pro’s highly sensitive image sensor captures low light photos with up to ISO 102400.
The HUAWEI P20 builds on its predecessor’s foundation with a Leica dual camera featuring a 12MP lens with a pixel size as high as 1.55 μm, and a 20MP monochrome lens, enhancing the HUAWEI P20’s ability to capture photos in low-light settings.
The HUAWEI P20 Series devices support six-axis stabilization and 960fps super slow motion, which is 4x higher than the standard 240fps and captures details that cannot be seen with the naked eye. With Ultra Snapshot mode, the devices can capture an image in as little as 0.3 seconds by just double clicking the down volume button, even from an off screen.

【My opinion on Huawei P20 Series Smartphone】
From my perspective of a photographer, it seems great when you can do 5 x zoom and take a photo of the object par away from you. That one all thanks to the 40MP RGB sensor. However, the moment you zoom in to 5x, the photo is actually cropped from the 40MP picture to achieve that clarity after zoom. It is still good if you like to use this new Huawei smarphone to snap bird and animal photos. They are useful when you don't have the giant DSLR and camera lenses with you. Totally travel friendly.
Since I've previously reviewed the Samsung Galaxy S9+, I can really say that the interface and user experience is much better on Samsung phone. Huawei is great with better selection of shooting mode and AI technology, but I believe they can make the user interface and experience much better.
On top of that, because of the smart AI detect function on Samsung S9+, it is so much easier to capture 960fps Super Slowmo on the S9/S9+ instead of need to press the shutter button manually on Huawei P20. That's what I meant in the AI and User Interface difference. If your phone has good hardware, you must equip it with great soft-ware so that user won't feel frustrated trying to figure out the shooting mode.
For friends who love to record video in 4K, Huawei P20 Pro doesn't have video stabilization while the S9+ have it. But if you are recording at Super HD1080p, both can actually perform adequately fine.
Coming back to the Huawei P20 series, I love the feature where you can take night shots without using tripod. Huawei P20 will shoot multiple photos at lowlight condition and combine into one brighter photo. This would be one of the function that I wan't to see in all upcoming new smartphone.
And if you are an outdoor person who love adventure and can't avoid water, The Huawei P20 Pro is IP67 certified, meaning it can be submerged up to 1 meter deep in water for up to 30 minutes, but the Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus tops it with IP68 certification, allowing it to be submerged up to 1.5 meters for 30 minutes. Just to share with you guys since they didn't mention it during the press launch.
However, looking at the price point that Huawei Malaysia has offered, Huawei latest P20 series smartphone is much attractive than the Samsung S9 series. I would recommend you to go for the Huawei P20 Pro as it is selling at only RM3299 with the new function and IP67 certified. Do note that P20 is not water resistant.

Samsung Galaxy S9+ start from RM3799 instead, RM500 extra if you deciding between Huawei P20 and S9+.
