As we saw in our last comparative, despite the fact that by level and design the most direct rival of the new flagship of Huawei it is probably the iPhone X, the price difference is still quite large, so that for many the authentic alternative of Apple It will be your other phablet, a little more affordable, which is the one that we are going to face today: Huawei P20 Pro vs. iPhone 8 Plus.
Designer
El Huawei P20 Pro Of course it will not be an alternative for those who dislike the notch of the iPhone X more, but it can at least satisfy those who miss the fingerprint reader and, even more specifically, having it located on the front , since the space has been found to keep it despite the radical reduction of frames that is appreciated otherwise. At 8 iPhone Plus we also have it like that, of course, and there is no notch, but instead the frames are much more prominent. They are both waterproof.
Dimensions
That most classic design of the 8 iPhone Plus it takes its toll, as it always happens with him, when we compare its dimensions with those of the Huawei P20 Pro, which despite having a larger screen and having kept the fingerprint reader on the front, is still a significantly more compact device (15,5 x 7,39 cm against 15,84 x 7,81 cm) and lighter (180 grams against 202 grams). Where they are closer, with an advantage even for the phablet of Apple , is in the thickness (7,8 mm against 7,5 mm).
Screen
As we anticipated, the difference in size between the screens of these two phablets is remarkable (6.1 inches against 5.5 inches), but Huawei P20 Pro Not only does he have in his favor that hers is larger, but also that he has a higher resolution (2240 x 1080 front 1920 x 1080) and that uses AMOLED panels. For many, it will also count as a point in their favor the one that uses the 18: 9 aspect ratio, more elongated and that practically all the high-end ones have already adopted, while in the 8 iPhone Plus we still find the classic 16: 9.
Unlimited
In the performance section, the 8 iPhone Plus It has nothing to envy the iPhone X and is, therefore, one of the points in which it stands up best to the Huawei P20 Pro. In any case, in both we have processors of the highest level (Kirin 970 eight core to 2,4 GHz against A11 six core to 2,39 GHz) and, although in RAM the phablet of Huawei has a clear advantage6 GB against 3 GB), remember that the iOS requirements for smooth multitasking are lower.
Storage capacity
Nor is the 8 iPhone Plus of the iPhone X when it comes to storage capacity, but in this case it is not enough to prevent the Huawei P20 Pro another victory is scored: with neither of us we will have a micro-SD card slot, and the 64 GB that Apple's phablet leaves us are quite respectable, but with Huawei's we will have twice as much (128 GB).
Cameras
The Huawei P20 Pro in the cameras section, with technical specifications difficult to surpass, starting with the main one, triple camera, with 40 SM (the others are 20 and 8 MP), aperture f / 1.8, optical image stabilizer and x3 optical zoom, and following the front, of 24 SM. His victory still has merit because this is a section in which the 8 iPhone Plus shines too, with a dual main camera of 12 SM (the second is 12 MP too), with f / 1.8 aperture, optical image stabilizer and 2x optical zoom, and another for 7 MP selfies.
Autonomy
The balance tips to the side of the Huawei P20 Pro One last time in the autonomy section: if we check, to begin with, the capacity of their respective batteries, we see that they start with a really important advantage (4000 mAh against 2691 mAh) and although we might hope that perhaps the 8 iPhone Plus will compensate with a lower consumption thanks to its screen, we could already check in the ranking of better battery phablets which is relatively far from achieving it, even if your data is also positive (89 hours versus 81 hours).
Huawei P20 Pro vs iPhone 8 Plus: final balance of the comparison and price
The comparison makes it quite clear that in practically all the key sections, the Huawei P20 Pro it is a superior option, with a larger screen (in a smaller body) and with more resolution, better camera, more storage capacity and more autonomy. Leaving aside the preferences of each one in design and operating system, really the only point that has some advantage is 8 iPhone Plus maybe it's performance.
These victories of the Huawei P20 Pro It has more value, moreover, when we compare prices and see that it is even somewhat cheaper than the 8 iPhone Plus (although the difference is really minimal and will hardly be relevant in the majority decision): the first has been launched by 900 Euros and the second did it for 920 Euros.
