I'm not into the exotics of the Huawei P30 Pro yet. I just have a Redmi Note 4 but my little Panasonic LF1 that I've had for years is still superior in most ways photographically including low light performance relative to the Redmi.
I did make the mistake a year ago of trying to replace the LF1 with its 1/1.7" CMOS sensor with the Panasonic TZ100 with its 1" CMOS sensor thinking it would have superior low light performance in addition to its 4k resolution. I knew it was bigger and heavier but was prepared to live with that for superior performance.
In fact the TZ100 was noticeably worse in low light and much less intuitive to drive. I resold it and returned to the LF1 and would certainly caution anyone against the TZ100.
I have had a Sony TRV22E DV camcorder for the last 15 years. It has been pretty good and using its digital slow shutter could record of CRT TV screens without aliasing bars. Unfortunately it recently started chewing tapes so I only use it now for video capture as it has an analogue video input and Firewire output.
I replaced it with a secondhand Sony HDR HC3E hoping that it would also give aliasing free recording in its digital slow shutter mode. My assumption there proved to be disappointingly wrong. I can use it directly for screen video capture without bothering to record on tape but unlike the TRV22E it doesn't have a video input. At least it gives better resolution than the DV camera.
