iPhone X wins our blind camera comparison vs Huawei P20 Pro, Galaxy S9+, Pixel 2 XL

You can now read:

A week ago, we invited you to take part in our blind camera comparison – a comparison where you, our readers, got to vote for the images you liked best without knowing which phone took them. The star of the show was the Huawei P20 Pro and it was running against the iPhone X, the Galaxy S9+, and the Google Pixel 2 XL.

Hardly a surprise: the Huawei P20 Pro takes flagship-grade photos

So, did the P20 Pro dominate this one? Did its triple camera setup obliterate its competitors? Well, not quite. Huawei's handset won in two out of seven scenes, demonstrating prowess in low light and tendency to produce vibrant colors in daytime. The iPhone X, however, got first spot in three scenes in total, which makes it the winner of this blind camera comparison. The Pixel 2 XL and the Galaxy S9+ scored a point each.

Final Results:

iPhone X (Winner in 3 scenes)
Huawei P20 Pro (Winner in 2 scenes)
Samsung Galaxy S9+ (Winner in 1 scene)
Google Pixel 2 XL (Winner in 1 scene)

But even though it didn't win the gold, we can say that the Huawei P20 Pro is a worthy rival to today's flagship smartphones. Are you surprised by the outcome, or did the results line up with your expectations? Let us know in the comments!
