Comparison review
The Galaxy S21 has a general score of 91.8, which is much better than the Huawei Mate 10's 78.9 overall score. The Galaxy S21 construction is newer, just a bit lighter and just a little bit thinner than the Huawei Mate 10. Both of these phones come with Android OS (operating system), but Galaxy S21 has 11 version while Huawei Mate 10 has Android 10, giving a couple nice extra features.
The Galaxy S21 and Huawei Mate 10 count with quite similar screens, because although the Galaxy S21 has a bit worse resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels and a quite worse screen density, it also counts with much more screen brightness and a quite bigger display. The Galaxy S21 counts with a bit more powerful processing unit than Huawei Mate 10, and although they both have a Octa-Core CPU, the Galaxy S21 also has 4 GB more RAM memory.
Huawei Mate 10 features a slightly better storage capacity for apps and games than Samsung Galaxy S21, because although it has less internal memory capacity, it also counts with a SD card slot that supports up to 256 GB. Galaxy S21's battery lifetime is very similar to Huawei Mate 10's battery performance.
Samsung Galaxy S21 counts with a superior camera than Huawei Mate 10, because although it has a smaller diafragm aperture which is not nice for low-light photography and video, and they both have a same resolution back-facing camera, the Samsung Galaxy S21 also counts with a lot larger back camera sensor capturing more light and vivid colors and a way better 7680x4320 video resolution.
Although Galaxy S21 is a better device, it costs a lot more than the Huawei Mate 10, and it doesn't have such a good relation between it's price and quality as the Huawei Mate 10. If you want to save some money, you can buy the Huawei Mate 10, giving up a couple features, but you will get the most with your savings.
