You are talking about the same thing again.
1.) Battery don't need to last really long, most people (I don't know about you) only need to have enough charge for 8 to 9 hours, aka the moment they went to work to the moment they come back home. Most phone with the crappiest battery can do that, in fact, most of us need them even shorter, because we can charge our phone in the office ( I don't know about your company in China, maybe they don't allow you to charge your phone) so for me, as long as my phone last the journey to and back from Parramatta Police HQ. I am good.
And even if all else fail (Like I forgot to charge my phone or my work place having a black out), I always have power bank that can last 2 full charges, which is in Samsung S9+ case 18 hours, and finally, if I wanted, I can charge my phone EVERYWHERE, in the mall, in the train station, even at McDonalds.
2.) 4000 mAH battery in P20 Pro
DOES NOT OFFER MUCH ADVANTAGE over the 3500 mAH battery in S9+, you get 1.5 hours more standby time and only 20 minutes (16 minutes in Beny's Video) usage time. Which is literally nothing.
And if Battery is really that important to you, then you should not use High End phone and get a Nokia 1110 which will last you a nice 112 hours standby time between charge, that will meet all your "Emergency" need
You do know what people uses phone camera for, right?
There are only virtually 4 usage of a mobile phone camera
- Selfie (Which does not need a good camera)
- Taking stupid picture of yourself doing stupid stuff (same as selfie, you don't need a good camera)
- Document Special Occasion (Usually you will use video capture, not image)
- Social Media uses (again, Most are video now on YouTube, Facebook and Twitter, seriously, when is the last time someone posted a phone on your Facebook/Weibo timeline?
And then you still have not address the issue of a 5x hybrid zoom is a waste of the 40MP bandwidth. Which again, I have not heard from any loyal Chinese member explain to me how a 40MP resolution is effective on a 5x Hybrid zoom.
You can call Samsung S9+ is an inferior phone, but that is just you kidding yourself. In term of hardware, again, beside the Camera and the Battery, everything else is better on the Samsung.
How many 4K movie can a Cloud Service hold? 1? A 400G SD card can hold 10 4K movie, that's 14 hours of entertainment. Bandwidth is also an issue for cloud, not to mention if you want to take some 4K movie out of your phone when you are in a concert or something.
I have a 1TB google drive (Yes, 1TB, it cost me $10A per month) and I seldom use them on my phone, and I still uses a 256GB memory card.
It have nothing to do with being Pro-China or Anti-China, if this is the spec for the next Apple and they are claiming they will destroy Samsung with that spec, I will still say the same, again, as I said and maintain thru out the whole passage, I am not saying P20 Pro is bad or whatever, I am just saying they are more expensive than the Samsung and you did not get the value of that Price Huawei is selling. For me, the optimal price for P20 Pro is around $1100, then I will consider it my next phone (In fact, I am in a process to replace my old Samsung S7 Edge) so I am actually looking at news phone.
Again, we can start posting data if you want and see how the 2 phone sales number goes in country that did not ban the Huawei.
Yeah, most review actually put P20 Pro
