Comparison review
Huawei Mate RS Porsche Design has a score of 85.2, which is just a bit better than the Samsung Galaxy Note8's 83 general score. Even when Huawei Mate RS Porsche Design and the Samsung Galaxy Note8 were released only a few months apart, Huawei Mate RS Porsche Design is just a little bit thinner and a little bit lighter. Both phones in this review come with the same Android 9.0 Pie operating system, so both of them should provide identical operating system features.
Huawei Mate RS Porsche Design and Galaxy Note8 both have really similar displays, because although the Galaxy Note8 has a just a little lower pixel count in each inch of screen, it also counts with a little larger display and a slightly better resolution of 1440 x 2960. Huawei Mate RS Porsche Design counts with much more storage to install games and applications than Galaxy Note8, because although it has no SD memory slot, it also counts with 256 GB internal memory capacity.
Galaxy Note8's CPU is very similar to the Huawei Mate RS Porsche Design one, both of them have 8 cpu cores and the same RAM memory amount. The Huawei Mate RS Porsche Design features better battery duration than Samsung Galaxy Note8, because it has a 4000mAh battery capacity against 3300mAh. Huawei Mate RS Porsche Design has a better camera than Galaxy Note8, because although it has a tinier camera aperture which is not nice for low-light images, and they both have the same (4K) video definition and the same video frame rates, the Huawei Mate RS Porsche Design also counts with a lot larger sensor which offers a way better image and video quality and a much more mega pixels back camera.
