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.
These images are straight out of my P30 Pro...And they are not RAW files coming out of it...They are jpegs! These were taken using "Night" mode, some handheld and some leaning the phone against a convenient solid object, as I never carry a tripod. I have a Sigma SD14 DSLR and at night it can't get anywhere near the quality that the P30 Pro can capture at night...It really is a game changing phone! I upgraded from a Samsung Galaxy S7, which was average image quality wise in good light but it was no good at night either...So I am very happy I went with the P30 Pro, rather than upgrade to another mediocre, yet over priced Samsung.
