I have all 3 phones. What are your thoughts ? IMG_20190926_212027.jpegIMG_20190926_212211.jpeg20190926_212241.jpeg

First picture is from the Mate 20 Pro.
Second picture is from the P30 Pr
Third picture is from the Note 10+.

The interesting thing is the different shutterspeed:
Mate, 6 sec
P30, 7 sec
Note, 1/4 sec.
 
The P30 Pro looks awful to me. I would say the 20 Pro and Note tie. Depending on what parts of the photo you're looking att. The Note looks better in some areas, the 20 Pro looks better in others.
 
P30 had more details and brighter but not perferafable for me and p20 / note 10 close maybe tie in 2nd place
 
I must be blind as crap because they all look the same to me.lol

Edit: once I blew them up I see a difference . 1 and 3 look way better than 2.
 
I was being diplomatic

I guess I should have said in relation to the other two photos. After re-reading it does sound more harsh than I meant. There's just a weird overall color to it that makes it look like it's got a filter applied.
 
Not impressed by any of them but #2 looks like absolute garbage the way it's got that strong yellow tint.

The other 2 it's hard to say which is better, photos don't show much detail in the phone app.
 
I'll have to go with #3 . It has the best white balance.

Both 1 and 2 have a distinct green color cast. The white balance couldn't seem to compensate for the color temp of the street lamp.

I agree with the white balance on the Note is better
 
To be honest, I'm not impressed with the Note 10/10+ night shot mode. I've gotten better results just using the standard Photo or Pro modes.

All Samsung did with Night mode is to crank up the ISO and slow down the shutter. Both severely degrade over all sharpness.
 
The P30 Pro often produces pictures with a yellow tint, I believe it is due to that RYYB sensor. Not a fan of that one. It also tends to undersaturate photos.
 
If I look at the side of the house on the right I like the color on the Note better. But if you compare thin strip of city skyline in the center of the photo it appears that the P30 is the least pixelated.
 
I have mate 20 pro and note 10 +...will do a shoot out...also still have lumia 1020 and nokia 808 ...will love to compare all 4 😀
