Comparing Sony's Xperia 1 tri-lens camera versus the Samsung Galaxy S10+ and Huawei P30 Pro, to see which 2019 smartphone shoots the best photo and video samples.

Sony has overhauled the camera hardware and software for its new Xperia 1 flagship device. Now you have an ultra-wide-angle and telephoto lens, just like the Samsung S10+ and P30 Pro - but what does that mean for shooting everyday pics and movies?

Well, the Galaxy and Huawei are still superior for night shots and HDR smarts, but the Xperia 1 does boast incredibly fast focus thanks to the next-gen eye tracking software. It's definitely one of the best smartphone cameras of 2019 for shooting kids!

All three of these devices can record home movies up to 4K resolution, although the P30 Pro and S10 Plus again are superior for HDR situations and stabilisation. And Huawei's telescope zoom design means it's easily the greatest here for distant snaps.
