Huawei P40 Pro vs. Galaxy S20 Ultra vs. P30 Pro vs. iPhone 11 Pro Max shootout – GSMArena.com news – GSMArena.com

Published

 on


On paper, the newly released Huawei P40 Pro boasts one of the more impressive camera setups around with improvements across the board over its predecessor – the P30 Pro. The main 50MP shooter now comes with a new 1/1.28″ Quad Bayer sensor with an RYYB filter and f/1.9 aperture. Keeping it company are the 1/1.54″ 40MP ultrawide snapper and the 12MP periscope module with its 125mm focal length promising 5x optical zoom.

We just couldn’t miss the opportunity to take Huawei’s newest flagship for a photo shootout with some of the best among the flagships and the samples are in.

The Huawei P40 Pro shoots excellent daylight photos – those match the detail and the punchy colors on the S20 Ultra images. The P30 Pro and the iPhone 11 Pro pictures show excellent resolved detail too and excel in color accuracy.

Huawei P40 Pro is an absolute winner in terms of quality when it comes to ultrawide photos. Its images are superb in detail, colors and contrast. If only they were really ultrawide though – their field of view is inferior to the super wide 13mm shots coming from the Galaxy and the iPhone and you can easily tell that by just looking at the thumbs below.

The Huawei P40 Pro is also the superior when it comes to 5x zoom. Its tele camera has a 12MP sensor and hence it easily beats the upscaled photos coming from the 8MP P30 Pro shooter. Same for the Galaxy – the S20 Ultra native zoom is 4x and the phone digitally zooms and crops to achieve the promised 5x.

The Galaxy and the P30 Pro are more accurate when it comes to color presentation, not that the P40 Pro is bad though.

The Huawei P40 Pro is a good imager at nighttime but best it is not. Its images are often better than the regular ones from the iPhone 11 Pro Max as it does multi-stacking while we had to disable manually iPhone’s Night Mode each time to get these single shots. And even then – iPhone stills had better color reproduction – meaning they lack the reddish tint.

The S20 Ultra is probably the bests of the bunch with the highest level of resolved detail and the brightest of the shots with excellent exposure.

Huawei P30 Pro is also a good shooter, but thanks to the new Fusion Engine the P40 Pro shots have both more light and less noise and fewer (if any) blown highlights.

The Huawei P40 Pro Night Mode isn’t improving on the regular still that much although the shots are a bit brighter but far less detailed. The mode is mostly on par with the iPhone’s and the P30’s Night Modes.

The Galaxy S20 Ultra once again excels in this shootout with amazingly bright, detailed and lively Night Mode shots and easily outperforms the Huaweis and the iPhone.

Without a shadow of a doubt, the Huawei P40 Pro has the best ultrawide camera with sharp, detailed and noise-free photos that also kept a very good color saturation. It is not as wide as the competition, but as far as quality goes – it’s miles ahead.

Unfortunately, the P40 Pro’s standard photos from the ultrawide camera are so good, that it’s only downhill from there. And that’s the case with the ultrawide Night Mode – it takes 8+ seconds and is pretty much pointless on the P40 Pro – the quality is much worse and the S20 Ultra and P30 Pro easily beat it.

But even with their Night Modes, the Samsung and the old P30 can’t match the quality of the regular ultrawide stills.

The iPhone 11 Pro Max doesn’t offer Night Mode for its ultrawide camera. And apologies for missing one of the scenes with the P30 Pro.

The Huawei P40 Pro has the best 5x zoomed photos at night because its camera shoots in native 12MP and does no upscaling as the S20 Ultra’s (native 4x) and the P30 Pro (native 8MP).

There is a noticeable red tint be this is something that will be tuned properly before the phone hits the shelves.

The Night Mode with these long-range snappers requires one very steady hand, but it’s worth it. While the Galaxy S20 Ultra has the brightest shots, the P40 Pro saves the most detailed and sharp. The red tint isn’t as visible here.

United Airlines will offer free internet on flights using service from Elon Musk’s SpaceX

Published

 on

 

CHICAGO (AP) — United Airlines has struck a deal with Elon Musk’s SpaceX to offer satellite-based Starlink WiFi service on flights within the next several years.

The airline said Friday the service will be free to passengers.

United said it will begin testing the service early next year and begin offering it on some flights by later in 2025.

Financial details of the deal were not disclosed.

The announcement comes as airlines rush to offer more amenities as a way to stand out when passengers pick a carrier for a trip. United’s goal is to make sitting on a plane pretty much like being on the ground when it comes to browsing the internet, streaming entertainment and playing games.

“Everything you can do on the ground, you’ll soon be able to do on board a United plane at 35,000 feet, just about anywhere in the world,” CEO Scott Kirby said in announcing the deal.

The airline says Starlink will allow passengers to get internet access even over oceans and polar regions where traditional cell or Wi-Fi signals may be weak or missing.

How to Preorder the PlayStation 5 Pro in Canada

Published

 on

Sony has made it easy for Canadian consumers to preorder the PlayStation 5 Pro in Canada directly from PlayStation’s official website. Here’s how:

  • Visit the Official Website: Go to direct.playstation.com and navigate to the PS5 Pro section once preorders go live on September 26, 2024.
  • Create or Log in to Your PlayStation Account: If you don’t have a PlayStation account, you will need to create one. Existing users can simply log in to proceed.
  • Place Your Preorder: Once logged in, follow the instructions to preorder your PS5 Pro. Ensure you have a valid payment method ready and double-check your shipping information for accuracy.

Preorder Through Major Canadian Retailers

While preordering directly from PlayStation is a popular option, you can also secure your PS5 Pro through trusted Canadian retailers. These retailers are expected to offer preorders on or after September 26:

  • Best Buy Canada
  • Walmart Canada
  • EB Games (GameStop)
  • Amazon Canada
  • The Source

Steps to Preorder via Canadian Retailers:

  • Visit Retailer Websites: Search for “PlayStation 5 Pro” on the website of your preferred retailer starting on September 26.
  • Create or Log in to Your Account: If you’re shopping online, having an account with the retailer can speed up the preorder process.
  • Preorder in Store: For those who prefer in-person shopping, check with local stores regarding availability and preorder policies.

3. Sign Up for Notifications

Many retailers and websites offer the option to sign up for notifications when the preorder goes live. If you’re worried about missing out due to high demand, this can be a useful option.

  • Visit Retailer Sites: Look for a “Notify Me” or “Email Alerts” option and enter your email to stay informed.
  • Use PlayStation Alerts: Sign up for notifications directly through Sony to be one of the first to know when preorders are available.

4. Prepare for High Demand

Preordering the PS5 Pro is expected to be competitive, with high demand likely to result in quick sellouts, just as with the initial release of the original PS5. To maximize your chances of securing a preorder:

  • Act Quickly: Be prepared to place your order as soon as preorders open. Timing is key, as stock can run out within minutes.
  • Double-Check Payment Information: Ensure your credit card or payment method is ready to go. Any delays during the checkout process could result in losing your spot.
  • Stay Informed: Monitor PlayStation and retailer websites for updates on restocks or additional preorder windows.

Final Thoughts

The PlayStation 5 Pro is set to take gaming to the next level with its enhanced performance, graphics, and new features. Canadian gamers should be ready to act fast when preorders open on September 26, 2024, to secure their console ahead of the holiday season.
