Design

With its “shark fin” motorized pop-up camera and its incredibly narrow bezels without even needing a notch, Oppo Reno 10x zoom is the aesthetical innovation transformed into a phone. But the Samsung Galaxy S10 is the one I would go for, not only for the look but also for its build quality. It comes with very narrow bezels and it does not need a notch, and neither a motorized slider, because it comes with an in-display single camera. Further, it is waterproof and dustproof with the IP68 certification, unlike the Oppo Reno 10x zoom. Huawei P30 is nothing surprising with its classic waterdrop display, but it is dust resistant and splashproof.

Display

Currently, no one can beat Samsung when it comes to flagship-class OLED displays. The Samsung Galaxy S10 is equipped with an amazing Dynamic AMOLED panel with a QHD+ resolution and the HDR10+ standard. It comes with very high brightness, perfect color reproduction and a very high level of detail. And it is also a compact display with its 6.1-inch diagonal. Oppo Reno 10x zoom has a big phablet-class display with a 6.6-inch diagonal, but its resolution is lower and it can not provide the same viewing quality of the Samsung Galaxy S10.

Hardware/Software

While Huawei P30 offers a Kirin 980 chipset with a 2.6 GHz clock frequency, the Samsung Galaxy S10 and the Oppo Reno 10x zoom both offer a more powerful Snapdragon 855 that is more suitable for advanced users, modders and gamers. In its most expensive configuration, Samsung Galaxy 10 has 512 GB of internal storage, while Oppo Reno 10x zoom stops at 256 GB, but at a more affordable price. In each case, you get a highly customized user interface based on Android 9 Pie.

Camera

It is very hard to define which of these handsets clicks the best photos as they vary a lot depending on the environment. All of them are equipped with a triple camera setup including an ultrawide lens and a telephoto lens, but they got different sensors. Huawei P30 and Oppo Reno 10x zoom look more interesting as the former sports an RYYB primary sensor which captures a huge amount of light even in dark scenes, while the latter has the new 10x hybrid zoom. But Samsung Galaxy S10 remains an outstanding camera phone with its variable aperture and its stunning photos in low light conditions, as well as a front camera which can record 4K videos. In order to give a definitive verdict on these devices’ cameras, we will have to test the Oppo Reno 10x zoom thoroughly.

Battery

We believe that Oppo Reno 10x zoom will provide a longer battery life. The reason is not only the presence of a bigger 4065 mAh battery but also the fact that its display has a lower resolution than Samsung Galaxy S10 (Full HD vs Quad HD). Samsung Galaxy S10 and Huawei P30 have much smaller batteries, so it is unlikely that they will reach a similar battery life in any of the possible scenarios.

Price

Oppo Reno 10x zoom starts from €550/$620, Huawei P30 costs €680/$766 in its base variant and Samsung Galaxy S10 starts from €770/$867. At the end of the day, Oppo Reno 10x Zoom looks definitely more promising with its bigger battery, innovative design, and awesome cameras. But this does not mean that it will be better than Samsung Galaxy S10 and Huawei P30 for all the users.
