Performance comparison of Huawei P40 and Samsung S20
2020 begins with the continuous smartphone line, despite the intense epidemic, but the technology market is always warming. New product lines like the Samsung Galaxy S20 and Huawei P40 have just been launched. Unlike other feature-rich and expensive brethren like Samsung S20 Ultra or Huawei P40 Pro. These 2 models have an affordable price.
In your opinion, between the two models, which one is worth your money to buy? Let's find out @chanhnguyen00 immediately.
Huawei P40 and Samsung S20 ecosystem
First, we will compare the application ecosystem on the two machines. As we all know, Huawei P40 is having a problem when it is banned from using Google Mobile Services, from using Google's ecosystems to applications in CH Play.
However, Huawei tried to replace it with HMS and AppGallery store. But AppGallery only provides a much smaller application library.
Therefore, in terms of ecosystem, S20 is probably a better choice for the majority of Android users who are familiar with the Google ecosystem.
Design Huawei P40 and Samsung S20
The most noticeable thing is that the designs of these two flagships have similar points, especially the back of the device. Both use black rectangular camera covers, flat screens, and light pastel colors. Even the P40 and S20 use perforated screens, though Samsung is just a small hole in the center, and Huawei is a big hole with a tablet shape that reminds us of the Galaxy S10 design.
There are subtle differences for each look and design, such as the speaker grille and metal design around the buttons.
Despite the similar design, the S20 is thinner and lighter, which makes the mushroom feel more firm. The slightly curved screen and the rear edges also make it easier to hold.
Huawei P40 and Samsung S20 performance
It can be said that Huawei P40 and S20 both bring a top performance, because of its advanced processor and tons of memory. The Galaxy S20's 12GB RAM is overkill for 99% of use cases. However, including a microSD card slot may be more useful than Huawei's more expensive Nano memory card. Given that the P40 ships with 128GB of internal storage, this is an important difference.
The S20 uses a Snapdragon 865 or Exynos 990 chip, depending on the region. Meanwhile, Huawei P40 uses Kirin 990 5G SoC chip. Both chips provide a day-to-day experience. However, there will be some differences in stricter conditions.
As expected, the Huawei P40 Kirin 990 provides slightly lower single core CPU performance. This is due to its slightly older Cortex-A76 CPU, compared to the Cortex-A77 in Snapdragon 865 and custom Mongoose-M5 in Exynos 990. This puts the Kirin 990 closer to last year's handsets, though Multi-core performance is much more competitive.
On the GPU side, Huawei is more noticeable behind its rival chips, once again thanks to the older Mali-G76 MP16 GPU. For comparison, Exynos 990 uses the newer Mali-G77 MP11 configuration. However, it's Qualcomm's exclusive Adreno 650 solution that delivers superior gaming performance. Even so, the Huawei P40 is still a comprehensive chip, creating a benchmark gap across the system thanks to its strong memory configuration.
