Now Huawei Which mobile phone is worth buying? I believe most people will choose Mate40 Pro, but is this really the case? Let me ask you a question first, what should pure and of Huawei mobile phones look like?
I personally believe that a pure Huawei mobile phone must have both Hongmeng operating system and Kirin processor . Models equipped with Qualcomm processors are not pure Huawei mobile phones at all. They lack the soul of Huawei. At present, Mate40 Pro can indeed meet this requirement and is the most powerful Huawei mobile phone. However, as a mobile phone that has been sold for more than two years, it still has a starting price of 6,799 yuan. Even in some second-hand markets, the price is still It costs four to five thousand yuan, and most people still don't have the strength to buy such a mobile phone.
You may have overlooked such a mobile phone. It is equipped with a Kirin processor and supports 5G. In terms of performance, workmanship and photography, it is much worse than the Huawei Mate40 Pro. If your budget is only 3,000 yuan, you want to experience a pure Huawei Mobile phone, this mobile phone will be a very cost-effective choice. It is Huawei P40 Pro. Today we will put Huawei P40 Pro and Huawei Mate40 Pro together to compare and contrast to see how big the gap is between them. Let’s see if the P40 Pro is a cost-effective phone from Huawei worth buying.
1. Appearance design
Huawei Mate40 Pro looks very impressive. The front is a large curved screen with a hole-cut design in the upper left corner. However, the hole is a bit large and does not look very coordinated. The camera module on the back of the phone It adopts a star ring design and is paired with a pure white glass back panel. Even in 2022, its appearance is still very wow.
The appearance of Huawei P40 Pro is very exquisite, with a simple and elegant feeling. The front screen is an OLED four-curved overflow screen. The width of the chin is very narrow, and the upper left corner also has a large hole design. The design on the back is very different from the Mate40 Pro style. The back of the Huawei P40 Pro looks simpler and purer. The camera module is placed in the upper left corner, which looks very coordinated and unobtrusive.
Overall, both phones have great looks and exquisite workmanship, but they also have the same shortcomings, which is the large hole in the upper left corner.
2. Screen
Huawei Mate40 Pro is equipped with a 6.76-inch curved screen with a resolution of 2772*1344 and supports a 90Hz refresh rate. However, the display effect is not very good. In addition, due to the excessive curvature, the green edge is more obvious.
Huawei P40 Pro is equipped with a 6.58-inch four-curve overflow screen, supports a 90Hz refresh rate, and has a resolution of 2640*1200. Thanks to the design of this screen, after the phone is lit, it has a good visual impression, but The display effect of the screen is not much different from that of Huawei Mate40 Pro. In addition, the problem of green edges also exists.
Overall, thanks to the curved design, the screens of both mobile phones have a good look and feel, and both support high refresh. In fact, the difference between 90Hz refresh and 120Hz is not very big in use, but these two The screen of the mobile phone is not top-notch in terms of display effect.
3. Performance
Huawei Mate40 Pro is equipped with Huawei’s most powerful Kirin 9000 processor. Putting aside those boring parameters, just from the experience point of view, although Kirin 9000 has been released for more than 2 years, it is still Now, the daily performance is still the first echelon. Its power consumption is very low. The energy efficiency of is much higher than that of . Qualcomm 's two flagship processors, Snapdragon 888 and Snapdragon 8Gen1, can hardly feel the chip at ordinary times. The heat is only stable even when playing games for a long time. Although its performance is not as good as Snapdragon 8Gen1, it can easily control various popular games and the experience is much better.
The processor of Huawei P40 Pro is Kirin 990, which also supports 5G network. It combines the processor and baseband into one. It can be said to be a very leading 5G SoC. The performance of this processor is also very good, whether it is Both daily use and gaming experience can have a very smooth experience. Although its performance is not as good as Kirin 9000, various games can run smoothly and the power consumption is also well controlled. In addition, Huawei P40 Pro also uses 3D graphene The heat dissipation combination with VC liquid cooling enables the mobile phone to achieve stable output without generating heat during heavy use.
Overall, the performance of Huawei Mate40 Pro is better than that of Huawei P40 Pro, but it does not mean that Huawei P40 Pro is completely dead. In this era of excess performance, Kirin 990 can still compete for a few more years.
4. Image
Although the camera module of Huawei Mate40 Pro is not the strongest now, it is still relatively mature. It has a 50-megapixel ultra-large bottom main camera, paired with a 20-megapixel ultra-wide angle, and then paired with A 12-megapixel telephoto camera is also equipped with a multi-spectral color temperature sensor to compensate for the color aberration problem of RYYB. Thanks to the powerful NPU and ISP of Kirin 9000, Huawei Mate40 Pro can perform AI processing on photos, making blurry photos clearer, and the colors will be automatically calibrated. However, this function will increase battery usage.
In terms of photography, in addition to supporting 4K 60 frames, Huawei Mate40 Pro also supports dual-view recording, up to 128x slow motion, and super anti-shake and AI tracking. However, after turning on the super anti-shake function, the picture quality will be compressed to 1080P 30Hz; as for the AI tracking function, if you hold the phone stationary, whether it is automatic focusing or adjusting the picture angle, it is relatively accurate. If the target is moving, the picture quality will be seriously degraded.
P series has always been Huawei's imaging flagship. Huawei P40 Pro also has good performance in imaging. Its main camera uses a RYYB array with 50 million pixels and a size of 1/1.28 inches. It supports four-in-one pixel technology. , supports optical image stabilization , Huawei also equipped the P40 Pro with a 40-megapixel wide-angle lens, a 12-megapixel telephoto lens, and a 3D depth lens.
Powerful camera hardware system, combined with Huawei’s excellent software algorithms, Huawei P40 Pro performs very well during the day, whether it is the color reproduction or clarity of the photos, both are remarkable. In night scene mode, the overall brightness of the photos taken by Huawei P40 Pro will be significantly improved. The RYYB sensor can capture more dark details. The night scenes are very clear and pure, and the dark details of the picture are also well preserved.
Overall, both Huawei Mate40 Pro and Huawei P40 Pro can be called imaging flagships. Their performance in imaging is very good, and the effects are very close.
