In September this year, many people focused on a newly released mobile phone. This phone is the Huawei Mate 50 series. It can even be said that the mobile phone industry has not had a product that can be queued up for a long time. The Huawei Mate 50 series and even single products sold for the whole year as the first sale of other brands. This phone recreates the scene when Huawei released the P50 series flagship last summer. Huawei P50 series became the first choice for many people after the Mate series was out of gear at that time, and now this phone has also been reduced in price. So in front of the Huawei Mate 50 series, is the Huawei P50 series worth buying with a reduced price?
Let’s talk about the conclusion first: Huawei P50 series is still worth buying, but it also depends on the specific model and price. First of all, let’s talk about the reason why you are worth buying, that is, the design style. Although Huawei's Mate series and P series are both flagship phones, the styles of the two have always been different. Even though Huawei has built both into imaging flagships, it has deliberately made some distinctions, and I believe that their respective users can feel it. So this determines that as long as you want to buy, there will always be reasons to buy, such as the most intuitive "Vision Double Ring" styling design of the mobile phone. Which one do you think looks better than the Huawei Mate series?
If you pay more attention to image performance, then both Huawei Mate series and Huawei P series are actually good choices. Let’s compare the specifications of the two series of Pro versions: both are 5000W pixel main cameras, both are 1300W pixel ultra-wide angles, and are both 6400W pixel telephotos. The Huawei Mate 50 series has more variable apertures, and the specific usage effect has been reviewed online. In fact, the solutions and algorithms of these two mobile phones are indeed quite similar, one is the last generation LEICA and the other is the first generation XMAGE.
But next we will talk about the shortcomings of Huawei P50 series, that is, the Snapdragon 888 chip. With this price, it has no advantage compared to the Huawei Mate 50 series. After the price reduction of Huawei P50 Pro, the price of the 128GB version is 4,988 yuan, the price of the 256GB version is 5,488 yuan, and the price of the 512GB version is 6,488 yuan. The price is lower than the Mate50 Pro, which is actually comparable to the Mate 50, and the latter's camera specifications are lower than that of Huawei P50 Pro, but the experience difference between Snapdragon 8+ and Snapdragon 888 is quite big, so in terms of specific choices, many friends probably choose the Mate series.
Only Huawei P50 Pro is mentioned here, what about the other versions? In comparison, although the starting price of Huawei P50 is only 3,888 yuan, the imaging system has been further weakened, and it may not be cost-effective. Huawei P50E is now just over 3,000 yuan, and it is more worth considering if it can be cheaper. In addition, there is also a version of Huawei P50 Pro Kirin 9000 on the market, but the price of the 256GB version is about 6,800 yuan. Maybe only friends who especially want Kirin chip will consider it.
Overall, if we talk about it simply from the imaging system, although the Huawei P50 Pro was launched very early, it can still compete with Huawei Mate50 Pro, and the price is cheaper. It is hard to imagine that the two are more than a year apart. However, the Snapdragon 888 chip may reduce the user experience, which is really limited by time factors. The price of choosing the Kirin 9000 version is too high. If you like some of the features of Huawei P50 Pro, the current price of more than 5,000 yuan is indeed worth buying, otherwise you will give priority to Huawei Mate50 series. Among the entire P50 series, the Huawei P50E is the most preferred one. After all, it really has no shortcomings besides 4G.
