Design
Do you want a compact and impressive design or the most futuristic one? If your answer is the first, then go for the Huawei P30 Pro without thinking twice. With its curved edges around the display and compact dimensions, it is a very elegant and versatile handset. On the other hand, Samsung Galaxy S10 Lite offers a more futuristic punch-hole display. The design is not the strongest point of the Realme X2 Pro. Besides having an amazing design, Huawei P30 Pro is also the one with the most interesting build quality since it is the only waterproof phone of the trio, with the IP68 certification.
Display
Despite Samsung produces the best and most popular displays for mobile devices, Realme X2 Pro has the most advanced display here. It is the only to be HDR10+ certified and it provides an impressive image quality. Further, it is the only to boast a high 90 Hz refresh rate, perfect for gaming since it provides a smoother viewing experience. The second place goes to the Samsung Galaxy S10 Lite coming with a new Super AMOLED Plus panel delivering very realistic colors and HDR, as well as a wide 6.7-inch diagonal. However, this does not mean that Huawei P30 Pro has a bad display.
Hardware/Software
The most stunning hardware is provided by the Realme X2 Pro, fueled by the amazing Snapdragon 855+ by Qualcomm built at 7 nm with a max frequency of 2.96 GHz. The SoC is paired with up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of fast UFS 3.0 native storage. Realme X2 Pro is the only not featuring expandable internal storage and the only which still runs Android 9 Pie, but it is the fastest and most performing device here. Right after, we got the Samsung Galaxy S10 Lite with a Snapdragon 855 chipset and 8 GB of RAM in its most expensive variant, as well as UFS 2.1 internal storage.
Camera
Huawei P30 Pro and Samsung Galaxy S10 Lite have the most advanced cameras. It is still too early to pick up a winner, but we believe that Samsung Galaxy S10 Lite will deliver a better video quality, while Huawei P30 Pro may provide more interesting photos. Realme X2 Pro si just a midrange camera phone (despite its higher 64 MP resolution), so we do not recommend it if the camera is among your main concerns.
Battery
Samsung Galaxy S10 Lite has a bigger 4500 mAh and it lasts more on a single charge in most of the scenarios. But unlike the Huawei P30 Pro, it does not feature wireless charging and reverse wireless charging. Realme X2 Pro supports wired charging only just like the Galaxy S10 Lite, but it has the fastest charging technology: it goes from 0 to 100 percent in just 35 minutes.
Price
Samsung Galaxy S10 Lite costs Rs. 39,999 in India and €649 globally, Realme X2 Pro starts from Rs. 29,999 in Inda and €399 globally, and Huawei P30 Pro costs about Rs. 50,000 in India and about €600 globally thanks to online street prices. Overall, Realme X2 Pro provides better performances and displays, while Samsung Galaxy S10 Lite and Huawei P30 Pro have better cameras and batteries. Given that the P30 Pro also comes with special features such as wireless charging and water resistance, it is a more complete device. But if we exclude cameras, Realme X2 Pro has the highest value for money. Which one would you pick?
