LG V30S ThinQ counts with a little faster processor than Huawei P20, and although they both have 8 cores, the LG V30S ThinQ also has a higher amount of RAM memory.
LG V30S ThinQ counts with a way bigger memory to store more apps and games than Huawei P20, and although they both have exactly the same internal storage, the LG V30S ThinQ also has a slot for an external memory card that supports a maximum of 1,95 TB. Huawei P20 counts with a bit better battery lifetime than LG V30S ThinQ, because it has a 3400mAh battery capacity instead of 3300mAh.
Huawei P20 shoots a little bit better photographs and videos than LG V30S ThinQ, because although it has a camera in the back with a lot lower resolution, a lower video definition and a tinier aperture which is not so good for taking photographs in low-light situations, it also counts with a lot larger sensor providing a much higher image quality.
Although LG V30S ThinQ is a better device, it costs a lot more than Huawei P20, and it doesn't have such a good quality/price relation as the Huawei P20. If you prefer to save a few dollars, you can get the Huawei P20, and give up some specs and features, but you'll get the most with your budget.
