DxOMark tests came out very similarly
On 31.03.2020, tests of the new Huawei P40 Pro were published by DxOMark experts, clearly indicating which devices have the best sensors. What you should note is that the tests turned out very similar. In photography Xiaomi is behind by 6 points and in video by only 1 point; in the overall rating, that’s just 4 points.
Huawei beats Xiaomi the most in exposures – by 3 points, in focusing – by 2 points, and in colors – by 2 points. On the other hand, Xiaomi wins in image structure (textures) – in photos by 4 points, in video by 2 points. Xiaomi also has the edge in wide shots – by 3 points. In video, the phones are practically identical.
In these photos there’s only a small difference in the width of the shot, with Xiaomi being a bit better. We can also notice slightly more contrasty colors on the P40 Pro.
