Huawei Mate 30 series has released a total of two models,Mate 30、Mate 30 Pro,Both models use Huawei's latest flagship SoC Kirin 990,The hardware is quite different,The standard version and the Pro version are two completely different models,Among them, the model that can experience all the flagship functions is Mate 30 Pro,Compared with it,Mate 30The standard version is much more plain,The texture of the real machine is also much inferior in the Android flagship。
In addition to the standard version and the Pro version, the Mate 30 series also has the difference between the 4G version and the 5G version, the same Kirin 990, and the performance of the two versions has obvious differences. Although most consumers may not experience this difference, and the popularity of 5G base stations and tariff packages is still early, the 5G network is indeed more advanced than 4G, and the 5G version of the Mate 30 Pro supports NSA and SA networking.
Although the configuration of the standard version is not as good as the Pro version, the standard version is cheaper, and behind some more "traditional" functions, it also means stronger applicability, for example, the Pro version removes the volume key for the curved screen, which requires a higher learning cost to use, and the use experience is not good, and the standard version retains the traditional volume button; The curved screen of the Pro version will have the shortcomings of edge reflection and inconvenient filming, while the standard version is an ordinary straight screen, except for the notch above, there is not much discomfort.
The Mate 30 Pro retains the notch because it has a ToF lens, but inside the notch in the standard version is a 24-megapixel lens and attitude sensor, although there are some extra features, but it doesn't use a black hidden camera like the iPhone 11, and two transparent round holes ruin the wholeness. In terms of other configurations, the Mate 30 Pro uses a horizontal linear motor, which is not very well tuned, but it is a little more advanced than the standard vertical linear motor in terms of hardware. The Mate 30 comes standard with a single speaker, and the audio and video experience is not as good as most models in the price range, and even worse than some outdated flagships.
The screen of the Mate 30 standard version is Samsung AMOLED screen in the early stage, and LG, BOE and CSOT will be mixed in the later stage. Because there are too many suppliers,The screen quality of a single supplier is not convincing,If you draw Samsung's screen,It's just a second-class A screen of Samsung,The screen quality is also significantly different from the 3,000 yuan gear that uses E3 luminous material models。
In terms of performance, the Mate 30 series is equipped with Kirin 990SoC, and the 4G version is two 2.86 GHz Cortex-A76 large cores, two 2.09 GHz Cortex-A76 medium cores and four 1.86 GHz Cortex-A55 small cores, and the 5G version uses a 7nm EUV process, with the same large cores. The mid-core frequency is 2.36GHz, and the small-core frequency is 1.95GHz, although theoretically the performance of the 5G version will be stronger, but the performance of the 4G version and the 5G version in the actual benchmark score is not much different.
In the Geekbench4.2 score, the Snapdragon 855 single-core is 3600, multi-core is 11000, the 4G version of the Kirin 990 single-core is 3800, the multi-core is 12000, and the 5G version of the Kirin 990 is also single-core 3800 and multi-core 12000. Compared to the Snapdragon 855, it seems to have an advantage, but it is actually the memory score that opens up the gap, and the actual difference in CPU performance is not much.
The biggest improvement of the Kirin 990 comes from the GPU, which has been upgraded from the Mali-G76 MP10 to the Mali-G76 MP16 in the Mate 20 Pro, which relies on increasing the core size to improve performance and reduce energy consumption. The base clock of the 4G version is 600MHz, and the base frequency of the 5G version is 700MHz, which is the same as that of the Adreno640. After upgrading the GPU, the GPU performance of the Kirin 990 finally reached the same level as that of the Snapdragon 855. In the 3D Mark running score, the Kirin 990 is 6400 points, and the Snapdragon 855 is 7000 points, which seems to be a few hundred points behind, but it is actually a 2000 point improvement compared to the Kirin 980. In GFXbench's off-screen tests, the generally low frame rate of the Aztec Ruins is advanced, with 21 fps for the Snapdragon 855, 19 fps for the Kirin 990, and 34 fps for the Apple A13.
In the actual game process,Kirin990The frame rate and frame rate stability are basically the same level as the Snapdragon 855,The situation of reducing the resolution and maintaining the frame rate that often occurred in the Huawei system has also been greatly improved,But there are still many games that will reduce the resolution,For example, the Japanese Ark and Honkai Impact 3,The official said that this bug would be modified。
Shooting is the consistent advantage of Huawei models, and the Mate 30 standard version also maintains the configuration of the main long and wide three cameras, but the main camera does not have optical image stabilization, and the color style of the three cameras is not uniform. The standard version of the main camera without optical image stabilization is weaker than the Pro version in terms of resolution, the color shift problem of the RYYB filter will still appear from time to time, the lens quality is average, the flare is more serious when shooting large light than scenes, and there will also be more serious purple dispersion when shooting leaves in the backlight, only the night mode can play normally, and the Mate 30 can also shoot low-light scenes that other models can't shoot.
Although the front camera is a 24 million pixel lens, it does not support 4K60 frames of video shooting, and there will be a jelly effect in 1080P mode, and the anti-shake effect is almost non-existent, so it can only be used as a selfie camera in daily life.
The recording mode experience of the Mate series is average,You can see obvious stuttering in the frame,But the final clip is normal,This problem has appeared in many Huawei models,There is still a big gap between the video experience and Samsung and Apple's flagship models。
EMUI 10 has changed a lot compared to EMUI 9, mainly because it is younger than before, and the elements of the page are no longer so complicated, but EMUI's UI design has been retained, even if it is a paid theme, it is not good-looking, the Bootloader is blocked, and third-party desktop software is not allowed to run, and users have a lot less choice.
EMUI has always been known for its rich functions, complete localization adaptation, but although there are many functions, the rough feeling is also very obvious, there are many functions such as in-game windows and night mode are in a hurry to go online, and there is a feeling of not having time to optimize the details, and there are also some layouts in the page, which always makes people feel a little disobedient, and these details do not seem to have an optimization plan.
In terms of battery life, the 4200mAh battery is completely stress-free on the 4G version, and the power consumption is slightly more on the 5G version, but EMUI10 has added the function of "you can get the location when the app is opened", which can reduce the need for the App to continuously extract the location in the background, EMUI can only reduce the resolution and kill the background will also improve the battery life, generally speaking, you don't need to worry too much about the battery life.
In terms of charging, the Mate 30 standard version does not shrink much compared to the Pro version, with 40W fast charging that can charge to 74% in 30 minutes, and after 80%, it enters trickle charging, and it takes 1 hour to fully charge. The Mate 30 also supports 27W wireless fast charging, which can charge up to 44% in half an hour, 87% in an hour, and then enter trickle charging time, which takes an hour and a half to fully charge.
