The "night" mode on my P30 Pro gives amazing results in low light...Much better than I can get out of my DSLR in the same lighting conditions.

I am skeptical that a smartphone sensor is "better" than a DSLR sensor and you don't mention what software you are processing your out of camera raw files with, so right there is a reason to be skeptical.

Maybe your comment should be say something like: "The Huawei P30 in camera processing can do better than I can with my DSLR and desktop software." ?

Doesn't this have more to do with in camera software processing that the sensor? From what I've read and seen, the Google Pixel phones also glorify the "cameras" but they rely more on a 100+ MB camera app for software processing as the actual lens resolution and sensors are similar to other "ordinary" phone cameras.

Add GCam app modified for camera XYZ and the sensor may then "magically" improve. Or in the right hands on a desktop, a DSLR sensor and various softwares could get better results, though maybe not on Auto, as your P30 uses Auto.
