August 11, 2025
Last week’s poll summary:Last week,we asked youif you were planning on buying theGoogle Pixel 3, Pixel 3 XL, or neither.The overwhelming majorityof our readers said they weren’t going to buy either, 16 percent said they prefer the smaller Pixel 3, and just 12 percent voted for the Pixel 3 XL.
Power users want everything but the kitchen sink in their phones: the highest resolution displays, fastest processors, as much storage as possible, and the “extras” that aren’t available in all phones like aheadphone jackor front-facing speakers.
Two of the best phones for power users right now are theSamsung Galaxy Note 9and the newly announcedHUAWEI Mate 20 Pro.
We’ve talked in great detail about how much we like the Galaxy Note 9, mostly because it checks almost every box on the specs and features list. It has a headphone jack, two of the best cameras out there, the best display out there, IP68 water resistance, and anS Pen. We originally thought the LG V40 could give it a run for its money, butwe all know how that went.
Enter the HUAWEI Mate 20 Pro. With a sleek new design, three rear-facing cameras, a gorgeous display, and the powerfulKirin 980 SoC, the Mate 20 Prois no slouch either.
So, which is the better power user phone: HUAWEI Mate 20 Pro or Galaxy Note 9? Cast your vote below, and speak up in the comments if you have anything to add… and keep it civil!
