Huawei Mate50 series is a special Mate flagship, without Leica images, without Kirin chip . This "special" may become the norm for Huawei flagship in the future. But for Huawei mobile phone , it is already a very "lucky" thing for the Mate series to be able to return to the market in its current state. The return of
Mate50 series is a good thing. The number of reservations exceeds 2 million is enough to show consumers' enthusiasm for it, but there is one problem that needs to be noticed under enthusiasm - price. Huawei Mate50 Pro is still a 4G phone priced from 6,799 yuan. Putting aside the excitement of seeing Mate return, can this phone itself deserve its price?
"Good photos" has always been the tag of Huawei mobile phones. So what about Huawei Mate50 Pro this time? Let’s start with its image.
Image: The parameters are average, and the algorithm is ahead of
. In terms of image specifications, Huawei Mate50 Pro is equipped with a 50-megapixel ultra-optical change camera, a 13-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera, and a 64-megapixel 3.5x periscope telephoto camera, among which the main camera and telephoto camera support OIS optical anti-shake. The difference between
and last year's P50 Pro is mainly reflected in the fact that Huawei Mate50 Pro has removed the primary color camera, added the RYYB filter matrix, 10 times physical aperture, and the XMAGE image algorithm. That's right, XMAGE is not only Huawei's imaging brand, but also a brand new set of real-life imaging algorithms.
But there is one thing that everyone can rest assured. Although Huawei Mate50 Pro is still committed to restoring the reality, it is more delicate and natural than before, with a transparent and comfortable look. It is by no means a digital style that looks "gray" before. Its actual performance is even better than Huawei Mate40 Pro+ and Xiaomi 12S Ultra, which adopts Leica imaging system and have better hardware.
First look at the performance of the three during the day. The brightness during the day is high, which is also one of the reasons why the picture quality of the mobile phone during the day is better, but not every camera can perform well in this kind of scene. Generally speaking, the imaging weight of the main camera center is higher than that of other parts, so the central part is also the best reflecting the image quality of the main camera. I will intercept this part to compare the main camera sample.
From left to right: Xiaomi 12S Ultra, Huawei Mate50 Pro, Huawei Mate40 Pro+
Huawei Mate50 Pro's main photography quality is compared with the other two models using ultra-large bottoms, and the texture details on the stone floor have been well preserved. Pay attention to the leaves behind the flower bed. A considerable part of the details of the Huawei Mate40 Pro+ and Xiaomi 12S Ultra are covered with black, while the Huawei Mate50 Pro shows the most content of the three. The only flaw is that sharpens a bit too hard, making the picture look a little unclean. The main photography part during the day, the three are basically the same. The three phones maintain very good picture quality, and the excellent algorithms greatly compensate for the hardware defects of Huawei Mate50 Pro in ultra-wide angle. The edge imaging weight of ultra-wide-angle cameras is not as good as the central area, so edge deterioration is generally prone to occur, so it is mainly compared with the ultra-wide-angle edge imaging of the three.

I intercepted the edge " China Construction Bank ". You can see that the words Huawei Mate50 Pro are very clear, and the details are retained well, but the picture quality on the surface of the building is slightly reduced. The situation of Huawei Mate40 Pro is similar to it. The Xiaomi 12S Ultra has a relatively fleshed-eye picture quality, but after all, it has an ultra-wide angle of 48 million pixels, and the details of the building are relatively rich. The telephoto part of
uses the advantage multiples of the three mobile phones, which are 3.5 times that of Huawei Mate50 Pro, 3 times that of Huawei Mate40 Pro+, and 5 times that of Xiaomi 12S Ultra.
Xiaomi 12S Ultra 5 times
Huawei Mate40 Pro+ 3 times
Huawei Mate50 Pro 3.5 times
HUAWEI Mate50 Pro 3.5 times
In these focal segments, the three phones have good picture quality performance, and the difference is more reflected in color, brightness and overall appearance. In this scene, the Huawei Mate40 Pro+ and Xiaomi 12S Ultra with Leica imaging system have a darker look and insufficient brightness. The Huawei Mate50 Pro has the best and most transparent look, with a slightly biased white balance and a little green.
If you think the difference is not big, pull the multiple to 10 times, which is another story.
Xiaomi 12S Ultra 10 times
Xiaomi 12S The stone slab part in the center of the Ultra screen has been smeared, and the clarity has decreased.
Huawei Mate40 Pro+ 10 times
Huawei Mate50 Pro 10 times
Huawei Mate50 Pro 10 times
Huawei Mate50 Pro is still very clear in the same part, and the image quality is comparable to the 10 times optical zoom of Huawei Mate40 Pro+, but pay attention to the green spire edge on the top of the building. The latter has some smears, while the Huawei Mate50 Pro is much better, but some details are still slightly inferior to Huawei Mate40 10x optical of Pro+.
Don’t think that 10x zoom is not practical. The stronger compression and richer picture composition choices are compulsory courses for flagship images. In 2022, high-quality 10x zoom will not be supported, and there is even no periscope telephoto. This is unreasonable.
In the day when the light is abundant, Huawei Mate50 Pro performs excellently, and the hardware shortcomings basically do not affect the actual performance. So what about the night that tests the quality of algorithm ?

Huawei Mate40 Pro+
In the night view, Huawei Mate50 Pro's RYYB main camera is far beyond expectations. The color, clarity and purity of the picture are just the same as the other two mobile phones with super large bottoms. There is no so-called RYYB yellow or green on the picture.
From left to right: Xiaomi 12S Ultra, Huawei Mate50 Pro, Huawei Mate40 Pro+
Enlarge the photo and pay attention to the details on the ground. You can see that the edges of Huawei Mate40 Pro+ and Xiaomi 12S Ultra have been smeared. Huawei Mate50 Pro still retains a lot of details based on its better resolution. The picture is clearer than the other two, but the sharpening is a bit too hard, so that the picture looks as clean as the other two models after the center is enlarged.
The ultra-wide-angle night scene performance explains what an algorithm is.

Haiwei Mate50 Pro
Haiwei Mate50 Pro ultra-wide angle uses a 1/2.8-inch small bottom, just say the specifications cannot be matched with Xiaomi IMX586 and Huawei Mate40 Pro+'s customized lens ratio. But from the last sample, we can see that Huawei Mate50 Pro can be comparable to the Xiaomi 12S Ultra, which has stronger hardware, in terms of imaging quality and final appearance. If the watermark is blocked, I am afraid that this is a photo taken with a small bottom lens.
In the telephoto part, I also used the advantage multiples of three phones to shoot.
Huawei Mate50 Pro default mode
Huawei Mate50 Pro can shoot high-quality telephoto night scenes in the most commonly used default mode. Although the picture transparency is poor, the picture quality, color and overall appearance are excellent.

House Mate50 If the sample of Pro is not activated, the effect will be somewhat insufficient. Huawei Mate40 Pro+ is average, and it can only be said to ensure basic clarity, but the color, purity, texture, etc. are not as good as the Mate50 Pro.
Since two of the three mobile phones use super large bottoms, the test of extreme night scenes is added, which is an advantageous scenario with super large bottoms. It is difficult for Huawei Mate50 Pro to have an advantage. However, looking at the imaging results can only show that the strength of the hardware cannot fully explain the problem.

First there is a detail in the overall view, Huawei Mate50 Pro uses algorithms to basically overcome the problem of the previous problem of the extreme night scenes of RYYB, and the Huawei Mate40 Pro+ overflows overflowing, affecting the overall appearance.
Next, the sample is partially enlarged, so you can see that even the extreme night view is still very clear. The Xiaomi 12S Ultra has a certain amount of smear, and the sharpening is not enough to make the clarity insufficient. Huawei Mate40 Pro+ has similar problems. The Huawei Mate50 Pro has the highest clarity among the three, and both leaves and floor textures retain considerable details.

For example, please note that this part is the extension of yellow light on the ground, Huawei Mate50 Pro makes the color and light transitions of street light lines very delicate, and it is not "blurred" with the white light behind. XMAGE's algorithm controls colors and light rays in place. I don't think it can be achieved with a few lines of code or public algorithms. It can be seen that in the past two years, Huawei has made great efforts and made efforts in the new algorithm .
In addition to algorithm support, Huawei Mate50 Pro's F1.4 large aperture helps a lot. For mobile phone images, brightness is life, and large aperture greatly enhances the amount of light entering this phone. In addition to the amount of light input, there is also a better blur effect.
Huawei Mate50 Pro's F1.4 physical aperture
Huawei Mate40 Pro+ virtual F1.4 aperture
Huawei Mate40 Pro+ when there is a problem Pro's blur effect can be simulated with F1.4 aperture, which can achieve better blur and edge processing, as well as more stable imaging. Regarding this physical variable aperture, Huawei Mate50 Pro can achieve automatic variable 4 gears in default mode, and only the professional mode can achieve manual variable 10 gears, allowing users to control the blur effect by themselves.
Whether it is daytime, night, or extreme scenes, Huawei Mate50 Pro performs excellently. This excellence becomes more and more obvious as the sky gradually gets late. On the premise that the imaging hardware is not at all advantageous, it is very difficult to use algorithms to achieve a considerable or even surpass it. If Huawei is willing to appropriately allocate the algorithm to the old Mate, P series and novah series, it will help increase the stickiness of old users.
Huawei also used the XMAGE algorithm to do another thing - restoring the reality that users imagine.

The new watermark of Huawei Mate50 Pro
The so-called realistic is not a 100% replicate scene seen by users, but based on this, plus some beautification that conforms to intuition and cognition, which brings both natural and beautiful. XMAGE's color style is also based on this. In addition to restoring the real "primary color", there are also two types: bright and bright. The former increases saturation and contrast, while the latter increases the exposure of the sample. However, the default primary color can already cope with most scenes, and the rest depends on personal preference.
However, this mobile phone image is not without improvement. First, when using the "streamlight shutter", the sample will be obviously red, which is very beautiful when the image is filmed. Second, the screen of the viewfinder is not clear enough, which is an old problem with Huawei's mobile phone photography. In addition, the Mate50 Pro films are too stunning, making the viewfinder screen more blurry. Huawei may do this for battery life and power consumption, but it is best to appropriately improve the clarity of the viewfinder, otherwise it will affect the user's composition.
Performance: smooth operation and low heat, heavy load needs to be improved
Compared with the image, the performance does not occupy much space in the press conference. The entire Huawei Mate50 series is equipped with the 4G version of Snapdragon 8+ chip. In addition to not supporting 5G, the performance of the chip itself is exactly the same as that of ordinary Snapdragon 8+. So how does Huawei's adjusted Snapdragon 8+ perform?
enable performance mode, and test the running frame number of Liyue and Sumi, the two main cities of Liyue and Sumi are tested under the premise of extremely high picture quality + 60 frames. The average frame number of Huawei Mate50 Pro's Mid-Moon Running Map is 53.8 frames, with obvious lags and frame drops.
But the Sumeru map is different, with an average frame number of 58.3 frames. In addition to the occasional frame drops, it basically runs at 60 frames. This score is comparable to Snapdragon 8+ gaming mobile phone . Not only cities, but other areas in Sumi can also have a frame rate of about 60 frames, but it will drop to about 30 to 45 frames during random battles in the wild, and can maintain it at about 60 frames during secret realms and fights BOSS.
It feels like Huawei has made special optimizations for the Sumi region, but the old map does not. In addition, Huawei Mate50 Pro runs "Genshin Impact" with very low power consumption, all around 5W, and not giving enough power consumption is also one of the reasons for the poor gaming experience. After the measurement, the maximum temperature of the fuselage was 46.7℃, and the temperature of the middle frame on one side of the camera was also around 46℃.
However, this level of power consumption is more than enough to deal with games like " Honor of Kings ". It can be stable at 90 frames when it is turned on. The game experience is extremely stable and smooth, with an average power consumption of only 3.3W, which is normal.
Huawei Mate50 Pro's Snapdragon 8+ performs well, has small heat, smooth operation, and is extremely excellent in daily use, but its performance in heavy-load games like "Genshin Impact" needs to be improved.
In other configurations, Huawei Mate50 Pro has built-in 4700mAh battery and supports 66W super fast charging and 50W wireless charging. Although it is still a 66W solution, the charging speed is much faster than before, and it takes 40 minutes to fully charge from 0% to 100%. For comparison, the previous generation Mate40 series is paired with 66W fast charging, which takes nearly an hour to charge.
System: Even without other Huawei devices, you can still experience a good basic experience
Huawei Mate50 Pro pre-installed HarmonyOS 3, but the Hongmeng on this phone has two impressed. At first glance, it is an itchy innovation, but it is really convenient to use it.
is a super transit station, which is a new feature of HarmonyOS 3. After opening, you can drag pictures, text, connections, and files to the transit station and hide them on the side of the screen by long pressing and pressing, and then use them across applications and devices.For example, if the transfer station uses a picture, I drag it to the WeChat chat interface, and it can be sent directly to the other party, and it can be sent in batches. The same goes for the file, so there is no need to repeatedly look for your treasured emoticons from your mobile phone. In addition to HarmonyOS, cross-device can also support PCs, provided that this is logging into the same Huawei account.
The second is satellite communication . This function was previously charged for satellite messages? Can you make a phone call? There is a detailed introduction in the article "A few major focus issues of Huawei Mate50".
Huawei Mate50 Pro satellite communication needs to be used outdoors, and the usage method is similar to sending text messages. Select "Beidou Satellite Message" in the built-in Changlian APP of your mobile phone, click on the new information and select the preset text, and then follow the prompts to find the satellite to send.
It is worth noting that this function does not require the other party to use the Changlian APP. As long as the sender is connected to the Internet, no matter what brand, model, or mobile phone of the operator, it can receive satellite messages sent by Mate50 Pro in the form of text messages. This function is supported by the Mate50 and Mate50 RS Porsche designs in the same series.
In terms of basic system experience, Huawei Mate50 Pro has a good 120Hz experience, and the 120Hz refresh rate is common, but it is rare to make the entire animation smooth and not lose frames. In addition, except for a few applications such as maps, most APPs are adapted to high refresh rates. Although the entire series of Huawei Mate50 Pro is 8GB, it has strong backend residency capabilities. When you exit and open the same application, you can basically open the interface you saw before.
Overall, the Huawei Mate50 Pro has excellent system, and even if you don’t have other Huawei devices on your hands, you can still have a good basic system experience.
Design: A delicate "ugly"
The place where Huawei Mate50 Pro persuades consumers to withdraw. I think it is not 4G, but this very conservative appearance design.
The front of the phone is equipped with a 6.74-inch notch curved screen. It will also be launched in 2022, which is somewhat of a tribute to the Mate20 and Mate30 series. The "bangs" are not small, and they are even larger than the previous Mate30 Pro. To be honest, even if the bangs can reach the level of the Mate30 Pro, the overall appearance will be much better than it is now.
However, its functionality is good. The machine supports 3D face unlocking and mask unlocking. The screen resolution is 2616 x 1212, 120Hz refresh rate + 300Hz touch sampling rate, and supports 1440Hz high-frequency PWM dimming. It is worth noting that since the screen of the phone does not have a strange design similar to microprisms to enhance the brightness of screen , its visual angle is better than that of many E5 screen phones, and there is no messy color cast.
The design and lens arrangement of the back of the phone are similar to that of the Mate30 series. The height of the lens bulge is slightly higher than the ring part, which causes the two cameras below to touch the desktop directly when placing the desktop flat. In fact, from this perspective, the Mate50 series is more like a continuation of the Mate20 and Mate30 series, and the Mate40 series with star rings looks more like an accident.
can be used when these elements are put together, resulting in the appearance of Huawei Mate50 Pro not being good today, and it is also the only place where this phone is not as priced at 7,000 yuan. It is equivalent to Huawei using high-cost technology, materials and workmanship to create a thousand-yuan machine appearance, a delicate and ugly appearance. If you buy it, it is recommended to choose Kunlun Dawn and Yaojin Black first. Other colors are really not good-looking.
Of course, perhaps it is the return of the Mate series, Huawei wants to make steady progress and use a more stable appearance design, which is why today's Mate50 series is available. However, the appearance of the Huawei Mate50 series is not useless, especially its bezels.
Huawei Mate50 Pro is a micro-curved surface. The visual front border is much narrower than other micro-curved mobile phones, even half that of Xiaomi 12S Ultra. The same applies to the Porsche design version. It has also been confirmed that micro-curved surfaces can be made of narrow borders, but whether the manufacturer is willing to pay some more costs for the appearance.
By the way, Huawei Mate50 has a straight screen + four sides, and its visual effect is similar to that of Samsung S22. But you may not want to believe that a 4G mobile phone can achieve a narrow range of four sides.
written at the end
When Huawei Mate50 Pro was first released, the biggest point was its price, and 4G mobile phones were sold at nearly 7,000 yuan.
But after a while, the excellent user experience of Huawei Mate50 Pro is worthy of its price, and the relatively balanced configuration is still an embodiment of the "comprehensive" concept of the Mate series. However, the parameter party may not like it so much, because its image configuration and unified allocation of Snapdragon 8+ did not give people too much surprise. I hope that next year's flagship will improve in hardware.
Huawei Mate50 Pro is not a chive machine, so is it really innovative? This phone has many innovations, but it needs to be used to reflect its advantages. It has not yet formed a new label like "Leica" and "Kirin" that makes people have pictures in their minds immediately. To a certain extent, the Mate40 series is still the ultimate masterpiece of the Mate series.
But you should also note that without Leica and Kirin, Huawei Mate50 Pro is still an excellent phone, an excellent flagship phone made in a limited space, and it is worthy of recognition. But I hope everyone buys the Mate50 series for its own excellence, not because it can become a container of boiling emotions.
