Mate40 Pro ultra-deep and ultra-comprehensive evaluation

Recently, only two mobile phones have attracted the most attention in the mobile phone circle-Apple iPhone 12 series and Huawei Mate40 series.

However, under the blessing of the US ban, especially under the exaggerated description of some media, everyone wants to know what Huawei Mate40 series is like, whether it is worth spending thousands or even increasing the price to buy this mobile phone, and how to use it after buying it?

It happens that Huawei Mate40 Pro has been used for a week, and the next mobile phone evaluation will be carried out from the aspects of appearance, CPU, camera and software innovation.

As we all know, this time Mate40 is behind a ring camera, and many people joked that it looks like an inverted iPod. Ridiculous to ridiculous, this design is really beautiful.

However, poor friends who love round cameras should pay attention. It may be a technical problem. The round glass is very fragile, so it's best to buy a film to protect it (the screen of Mate30 Pro camera with bad reviews is broken and uncomfortable).

Mate40 series has only five colors: secret silver, glazed white ceramic white, bright black ceramic black, summer Populus euphratica green and autumn Populus euphratica yellow.

From the bad feeling, mithril can reflect different optical effects from different angles, and it feels like a plastic matte, which should be quite durable; The black and white one feels smooth and warm, while the porcelain one feels comfortable. Be careful if you don't cover the shell, it will fall off easily. The gold and red buttons used in the plain leather frame reveal a nobleness from top to bottom. I don't know if the stain is a bit difficult to handle after a long time.

If you really want to judge your choice, you prefer glazed white and plain green.

Mate40 Pro will be wider than ordinary mobile phones, which may be more suitable for people with big hands or who are used to widescreen. When playing games across mobile phones, the camera on the back is a little off-center, maybe the round screen of the camera is too big.

The color difference and brightness of the 90Hz screen you got this time are quite good, and the evaluation is also good after being tested by professional software (Starscream).

Well, Huawei's screen finally stood up this time!

CPU performance

Kirin 9000 is the first 5G 5nm chip on the market. Weibo @ Ann Bunny said that the running score in performance mode is 72 1462, which is superior to others, which proves his strength.

Originally, I also wanted to try Ann Bunny running points, but the media machine Ann Bunny couldn't fit it, so I had to settle for the second best. In order to test Kirin 9000, I used Shen Yuan, the killer of mobile phone performance.

The full 60Hz frame rate and picture accuracy are the highest. See if this chip can still hold up?

Although the game reminds me that this setting will lead to serious overload of the device, it is actually surprisingly smooth to play, and its expressive force is really much stronger than other flagship phones on the market.

However, with the improvement of requirements, the heating value above the back is rising (the edge metal frame is nearly 45 degrees), and the power consumption is also rubbing. I called 12 minutes and ran 9% of the electricity, which is not to be taunted. .

Needless to say, 5G is Huawei's housekeeping skill, and the measured speed is only much higher than that of a mobile phone with 5G chips.

In short, Kirin 9000 proved its ability with its strength.

Thinking of this, I think the ban in the United States may make Kirin's advantage no longer, alas. .

Camera shooting

You can find the camera parameters of Mate40 Pro, 50 million super large bottom main camera, 20 million super wide angle,120,000 telephoto, 10 hybrid zoom and 50 times digital zoom.

In addition, there is a multi-spectral color temperature sensor, which is estimated to make up for the color difference problem of RYYB.

The fractional weight of DXO should be used as a reference.

During the actual shooting experience, the bad reviewers obviously felt that Huawei increased the processing of pictures by AI.

Thanks to the NPU and ISP of Kirin 9000, except for the photos in professional mode, the photos in other modes will be processed by AI to make the blur clear and then calibrate the color.

In most cases, the blessing of AI will make the picture better, that is, shooting will increase the use of batteries. .

The bad reviewer took a few photos casually, which was really good. Especially the super wide-angle night scene pictures, hanging peers.

By the way, the reviewer should focus on the ultra-wide-angle distortion algorithm.

We all know that under the super wide-angle lens, the edge will be stretched and distorted, and this distortion will be particularly obvious when there are people on the edge. When Huawei detected someone at the edge, it corrected the distortion with an algorithm, and the effect was good ~

Of course, this is not unique to Huawei. According to the bad review, according to the existing mobile phone test, iQOO 5 Pro BMW model, Xiaomi 10 Pro Extreme Edition and even Samsung's new mobile phone this year have been revised later.

One thing is said, the correction of domestic mobile phones is ok, but Samsung's correction is relatively poor.

Mate40 Pro's portrait mode is mostly ok, but sometimes it is slightly blurred, just adjust the angle slightly.

However, when the color and background of people are mixed, the segmentation is often out of order, probably because there is no ToF lens on the back.

Huawei said that this time it focused on improving the photography experience. In addition to supporting 4k 60 frames, dual-view video and the highest 128 times slow motion, it also adds two new functions: super anti-shake and AI tracking.

After practical experience, it is super anti-shake-it can only prevent slight jitter. Gentle shaking is not bad, but hard shaking is definitely not good.

I want to shoot Yuntai after strenuous exercise. I can only say that this is a peach. If I have this idea, I advise you to buy a DJI mobile phone Yuntai, without loss.

Moreover, after Mate 40 Pro turned on super anti-shake, the image quality reached 1080p 30Hz, but it was not beautiful.

Another AI tracking function, the effect is that if you hold the phone still, the screen can automatically track the person you selected, autofocus and adjust the screen angle.

The principle is to cut the lens through a super wide-angle camera, but it has great limitations. The target can't move too fast, it can't be tracked, and the image quality drops badly. After all, it was cut.

For this function, the bad reviewer can only think of one application scenario, that is, he went out to play without bringing a Yuntai, and wanted to shoot his own short film, so he had to use this function to shoot loneliness.

Again, isn't it sweet to buy a DJI Yuntai?

Let's talk about a few Huawei's own image processing functions that you think are easier to use.

Click "Edit" of the picture, "Remove Reflection" can remove the simple reflection on the glass, and "Remove File Shadow" can remove the shadow of light on the file. The bad reviewer has actually experienced it, and the effect is good. The critical moment is quite urgent.

Huawei also added video templates to mobile phones this time, strengthening the editing function of local videos, which shows how popular short videos are now ~

Software innovation

In fact, the bad reviewers personally think that although the functions mentioned above are not bad, what impressed the bad reviewers most about Mate40 Pro is to make full use of the front camera.

In front of the camera, pearl screens are popular now. Everyone thinks that the smaller the opening, the better. However, Huawei has never given up its positive opening. On the one hand, it is more accurate and safe for facial recognition, on the other hand, it can do more things. .

Not to mention this time, in terms of gesture operation, in addition to flipping the screen up and down, Huawei also added left and right sliding and long-distance pressing. It is more useful to answer the call by pressing it from a distance, which is a must for chefs.

This time, the front camera also realized another interesting little function-interacting with the deer.

Mate40 Pro's default screen animation is an elf deer, which will come out when you look at the screen.

Then when you turn your head away or look away from the screen, the deer won't disappear soon, but will turn its head away. When your eyes return to the screen again, the deer will turn to look at you. Very interesting. Bad judge likes to flirt with deer now. .

The principle is that Huawei has realized eye tracking. When it senses the convergence of sight, it will call the corresponding program. The principle is quite simple, but it is not easy to be accurate and fast.

In addition to these, Huawei also realized it with the previous sensors-smart payment.

When the mobile phone has been unlocked, as long as the main screen of the mobile phone is facing the code scanning box, the payment interface of Alipay can be automatically called, which is very useful for the elderly who are not familiar with smart phones and those who are afraid of trouble.

I just don't know when making money can save some steps. .

According to the bad reviewer's observation, the realization of this function should also use the principle of infrared induction, because once the infrared ray from the camera's focus accidentally triggered the smart payment of the mobile phone, and the code scanning box also used infrared ray to scan the code. Fortunately, this unexpected phone call won't take the money away, leaving this 5 yuan in the balance treasure.

There are some other software upgrades on Mate40 Pro, which are also liked by bad reviewers. For example, the Changlian App of Huawei's mobile phone can not only make calls for free, but also support lossless transmission of large files. Unfortunately, this practical function is only supported by phones and devices after P40.

Like video intelligent translation, the application of floating window is not introduced much. People who buy mobile phones can learn from the "Playing Skills app" that comes with their mobile phones.

However, in the process of use, the reviewer still found several unsatisfactory places.

Although the mobile phone is finally equipped with dual speakers, the speakers on it will leak when talking, and the sound will easily spread out. I wonder if this phenomenon can be improved by software patches.

Also, the official system will bring two folders of recommended applications, "Excellent Applications" and "Popular Recommendations", which contain various downloaded software, and a row of recommended applications will appear under the folders.

Although I understand that the government wants to earn more channel money in this way, first of all, this mobile phone is not cheap. Is money really important in this channel? Secondly, folders cannot be deleted directly, but all the applications in them must be removed or deleted before these two folders can be deleted, which is a bit too troublesome. .

Anyway, I suppressed my temper and deleted it all.

By the way, people who don't like the official theme can change other themes in the theme App. Every mobile phone in Mate40 series is equipped with a software experience package, which is useless.

One last word.

Generally speaking, this mobile phone has almost no shortcomings, and even the system fluency is guaranteed to be extremely smooth for at least three years. As long as I can tolerate the small problems mentioned above and accept its high-end price, then this mobile phone is still quite good.

Just a few days ago, with the release of Huawei Mate40 series products, some headlines such as "Huawei's last bullet" and "Kirin chip out of print" appeared, which made people feel that this series was Huawei's last mobile phone.

To tell the truth, you will know that it is impossible after a little thought. Huawei is placing an urgent order with TSMC, and Kirin 9000 must have been ready for at least a year. Besides, MediaTek's chips caused quite a stir before the ban.

In fact, the worst case is that next year's Mate 50 will not use the latest technology, and can only continue to use the old chips of this year, but the mobile phone brand will never die.

Because Huawei's entire intelligent ecology revolves around mobile phones, the disappearance of mobile phones is equivalent to destroying half of Huawei's future, and Huawei will definitely make 200% efforts to overcome the current difficulties.

Therefore, it is good to treat this phone with a normal heart. This is the greatest respect for Huawei.
