The Huawei P40 Lite takes just a bit better videos and photos than iPhone 12, because although it has a tinier aperture which is not good for low-light photography and slower 30 fps video frame rates, and they both have the same (Full HD) video quality, the Huawei P40 Lite also counts with a lot more mega pixels camera.
