Many people know that digital products are updated very quickly. A mobile phone released in the first half of the year may become outdated in the second half. So now the question arises. Will a Huawei Mate40 Pro released two years ago be comparable to the 2,000 yuan Redmi phone in 2022? Let’s take a look.
First of all, in terms of performance, Huawei Mate40 Pro is equipped with 5G Kirin 9000 processor, and Redmi K50 is equipped with 5G Dimensity 8100 processor, many people may be blindly confident in Kirin 9000, but we have to recognize the reality. After all, this is a chip from two years ago. But in terms of running scores, Dimensity 8100 scores around 850,000, while Kirin 9000 only scores around 690,000. The performance is really much worse. Of course, it may not feel like it in daily use, and even playing various games is very smooth, but to be honest, Kirin 9000 is indeed a bit old.
In terms of screen, Huawei Mate40Pro uses a 1.5K resolution domestic screen that supports 90Hz high refresh rate, while Redmi K50 uses a 2K resolution Samsung screen that supports 120Hz high refresh rate. Also in terms of screen quality, Redmi K50 is still better than Huawei Mate40Pro.
In terms of battery life, Huawei Mate40Pro is equipped with a 4400mAh battery + 66W fast charge, while the Redmi K50 is equipped with a 5500mAh battery + 67W fast charge. Although the K50 battery looks larger, the actual experience is not much better than Huawei Mate40Pro, so it is a draw in terms of battery life.
There should be no suspense in terms of imaging. It is a crushing one. Huawei Mate40Pro supports the Leica imaging system and has a rear 5000W Sony IMX700 super-sensitive main camera + 2000W movie lens + 1200W periscope telephoto lens , supports OIS optical image stabilization , this specification is still flagship level even now; as for the K50, Sony IMX582 main camera, how to say photography, it is quite satisfactory. This one is really beaten by Huawei Mate40Pro.
As for the workmanship quality, this is a matter of opinion. After all, a thousand readers have a thousand Hamlets. I personally think Huawei Mate40Pro is the pinnacle of domestic mobile phones in the past two years. The large curvature screen + rear star ring design gives it a full sense of luxury. It also supports IP68 level dustproof and waterproof, which is absolutely the level of a flagship phone. The Redmi K50 is much worse in this regard. The plastic middle frame is indeed a bit of a hindrance, but there is no way around it. While pursuing performance, it also gives up too much.
In general, the overall strength of the Huawei Mate40Pro from two years ago is no worse than that of the Redmi K50. However, because this mobile phone is relatively scarce, the price may be a bit expensive. If you are interested, I recommend looking at second-hand phones. For example, the new model of 95 only costs more than 3,000, and there is a one-year warranty and inspection report. It is still a good deal.
At the same time, I also hope that Huawei ’s Kirin chip can come back to the market. After all, I don’t want to spur other companies. Look at what’s going on now. Qualcomm is really not as good as the previous one.
