Design

Glass backs, aluminum frames, a punch-hole display, and a premium design: that is what you get with Xiaomi Mi 10, Huawei P40 and Realme X50 Pro. Huawei P40 has a more compact size and it is the only to offer dust and splash protection with its IP53 certification. But in my opinion, Xiaomi Mi 10 is the most beautiful with its curved edge-to-edge display, a single punch hole in the screen and a smaller camera module on the back, as well as a higher screen-to-body ratio. Do you prefer having the best look or a compact phone with a higher build quality?

 

Display

On the display side, it is a very close fight between Realme X50 Pro and Xiaomi Mi 10. In each case, you get a Full HD+ Super AMOLED display supporting a high 90 Hz refresh rate and the HDR10+ standard. Two great devices for gaming and multimedia, especially if you consider that they both come with stereo speakers. Unfortunately, they do not have the best displays you can currently get on a phone, but they still offer amazing panels. The Huawei P40 has a smaller and inferior display: it is an average AMOLED panel with a standard refresh rate.

 

Hardware/Software

Thanks to the presence of a Snapdragon 865 chipset paired with up to 12 GB of RAM, Realme X50 Pro 5G and Xiaomi Mi 10 are actually able to provide higher performance. The chipset is simply more powerful than the Kirin 990 found on the Huawei P40. Further, there is more RAM since Huawei P40 only comes with 6 or 8 GB of RAM. On the other hand, you can expand the internal storage of the Huawei P40, while Realme X50 Pro and Xiaomi Mi 10 do not have an expansion slot. The operating system installed is Android 10 customized by proprietary user interfaces.

 

Camera

The most impressive rear camera department is the one found on the Huawei P40. It includes a 50 MP main sensor with RYYB filter, a telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom, a 16 MP ultrawide lens and dual OIS. But Xiaomi Mi 10 is still a pretty nice camera phone: it lacks a telephoto sensor, but it has an amazing 108 MP main lens that can record 8K videos. Realme X50 Pro wins the front camera comparison since it sports a dual setup including an 8 MP ultrawide sensor. But despite including a telephoto lens, the photo quality provided by the rear cameras can not compete with the Xiaomi Mi 10 and the Huawei P40.

 

Battery

Xiaomi Mi 10 is the king of battery life with a huge 4780 mAh battery (even bigger than Mi 10 Pro). It is also the only phone from this trio to support wireless charging (with one of the fastest wireless charging technology due to a 30W power) and reverse wireless charging. On the other hand, Realme X50 Pro supports the fastest wired charging technology with a 65W power.

 

Price

Realme X50 Pro went global with a €599/$651 starting price, Xiaomi Mi 10 starts from €899/$978, and Huawei P40 costs €799/$869 in its base variant. While Realme X50 Pro offers the highest value for money, Xiaomi Mi 10 has the most advanced specs sheet. But if you need the best camera phone, then Huawei P40 is the guy.
