Design
Do you need the most innovative and beautiful design or the most compact one? If you want something innovative and good-looking, then OnePlus 7T Pro and Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ are more interesting. The former comes with a pop-up camera and a notch-less display, while the second has a punch-hole display. Both have a very high screen-to-body ratio and a gorgeous glass back. Huawei P30 Pro is more compact and it has very attractive curved bezels, but it comes with a waterdrop notch. Note that Huawei P30 Pro and Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ are waterproof and dust resistant with the IP68 certification, while OnePlus 7T Pro does not offer any kind of water resistance.
Display
OnePlus 7T Pro and Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ are the winners if we talk about displays. The former is the only of the trio to boast a 90 Hz refresh rate, while the latter provides an amazing image quality. In both cases, you get the HDR10+ technology for the accurate reproduction of multimedia content. And both have a high Quad HD+ resolution with 1440 x 3040 pixels. The display of the Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ also supports the S Pen that is the key feature of the device. Huawei P30 Pro is inferior with its Full HD+ display providing just the HDR10 technology, but it is more compact and easier to use with one hand.
Hardware/Software
The hardware department of the OnePlus 7T Pro is composed of a Snapdragon 855+ chipset, up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 512 GB of UFS 3.0 internal storage. OnePlus 7T Pro is the fastest and smoothest device of the trio. It is also the only to run Android 10 out of the box, with a nearly stock user interface and amazing software optimization. Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ comes right after with either a Snapdragon 855 or Exynos 9825 processor depending on the market. It features expandable storage and up to 512 GB of internal storage. Huawei P30 Pro has a less powerful but still flagship SoC.
Camera
Despite the Huawei P30 Pro was the true innovation of 2019, we define the Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ as a slightly better camera phone than the Huawei P30 Pro. And both are among the best camera phones out there. Huawei P30 Pro is amazing in low light conditions thanks to its RYYB main sensor, and it also provides a better zoom thanks to 5x optical zoom. Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ is better at overall image quality and colors. Despite still being a good camera phone, OnePlus 7T Pro is way inferior to both.
Battery
Thanks to its bigger 4300 mAh battery, Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ has the longest overall battery life in most of the scenarios. It is followed by the Huawei P30 Pro. Both feature wireless charging and reverse wireless charging, while OnePlus 7T does not.
Price
The winner of this comparison is the Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ since it offers more features, a better camera, and longer battery life. But it also comes with the highest price (more than €800/$900 street price). Unless the camera is one of your main priorities, if you want to save some money you should go for the Huawei P30 Pro. OnePlus 7T Pro (about €700/$790 street price) has better performances and a better display than Huawei P30 Pro, but the P30 Pro offers a better camera, longer battery life, IP68 certification, wireless charging, and a more affordable street price (less than €650/$732).
