If you’re going to be shopping for a new Android flagship sooner rather than later, then there’s a good chance you’ll find Google’s Pixel 2 XL. It’s one of the best Android devices on the planet, backed by a well-known tech name, “Google.”

But wait! There is another competitor that offers some interesting features to its customers. The Huawei Mate 10 Pro smartphone closely matches Google’s Pixel 2 XL in some main features and various technical specifications; however, there are some key details that differ between them. Here, we will show you the salient features of these two devices with comparison so you can see where one is doing better than the other. Then let’s get started.

Design and display

Both the Huawei Mate 10 Pro and the Google Pixel 2 XL feature few very 2017 design elements. The Pixel 2 XL phone device has relatively larger dimensions that feature impressive rounded corners and small bezels.
However, Huawei Mate 10 Pro does not have rounded corners, but it does have a nice big screen. The Pixel 2 XL comes with the mix of glass and metal on the back. On the other hand, the Mate 10 Pro smartphone has an all-glass back.

When it comes to display, both phones offer a big enough 6-inch screen; however, the Pixel 2 XL has a P-OLED screen and the Mate 10 Pro is backed by an AMOLED screen. Google’s Pixel 2 XL offers a slightly better screen resolution and density of 2880×1440 and 537ppi respectively than the Huawei Mate 10 Pro’s 2160×1080 pixel resolution and 402ppi pixel density. Other features are nearly identical in both screen protection as in the relationship between the screen and the body.

Performance

The Google Pixel 2 XL comes with the same 6-month-old Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor chip. It’s certainly one of the fastest chips out there, but compared to the latest flagship Android phones, it’s considered outdated. Still, you have a lot to experience crazy super fast smartphone experience with ample 4GB of RAM and the latest Android 8.0 Oreo on board.

And when you see the Huawei Mate 10 Pro, it has a new and upgraded HiSilicon Kirin 970 chip, which is much better than its predecessor. Backed by a neural processing unit for AI requirements, as well as a machine learning adaptive feature, this is truly a master of speed, especially with 6GB of extended RAM.

Overall, the Kirin 970 compares very well, in terms of speed, performance, and daily use, to the Snapdragon 835 chip in benchmark tests.

Battery

Google Pixel 2 XL includes a powerful lithium-ion battery with a capacity of 3520 mAh. Huawei provides an even more powerful 4000 mAh lithium polymer battery. This is a fundamental difference. And both phones offer fast charging.

Camera

Huawei Mate 10 Pro has the same dual-camera approach you found on the P10 and P10 Plus phones, with a 12MP primary sensor and a 20MP monochrome secondary sensor. The Mate 10 Pro’s camera quickly focuses on what you’re shooting and adjusts accordingly, thanks to its AI abilities. This is truly one of the leading smartphone cameras on the market today, hands down.

But when we look at the Pixel 2 XL camera, it offers several exciting new features, such as laser autofocus and phase detection, and can quickly deliver impressive shots. Thanks to Google’s next-generation image processing capabilities, you’ll get something amazing every time you shoot, even in low light. But still, it’s a single lens shooter.
