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, it is too early to popularize 5G base stations and tariff packages, but 5G networks are indeed more advanced than 4G, if you are not in a hurry to change your mobile phone, it is recommended to wait for the 5G version of the Mate 30 series to go on sale before starting, after all, now the replacement cycle of the flagship has become significantly longer, NSA's 5G will also be used for a long time, and direct purchase of the 5G version can save the cost of replacement in the later stage.
Mate 30 Pro is still at the forefront of the flagship in terms of appearance, with a curved screen with an edge close to 90 degrees, the bezels are almost invisible on the left and right, there is only one boot button on both sides of the fuselage, and the upper and lower bezels are a little wide but do not affect the look. If there is a lack of frontal perception, it is only the notch that exists because of functionality, but the reduction in area compared to the Mate 20 Pro is also an improvement.
The notch structure is retained because there is a TOF module, a front camera and a gesture sensor, which can realize air control, although now there are only simple functions such as turning pages up and down and taking screenshots of fists, and there is a chance of misoperation, but you can brush Douyin Kuaishou and Weibo when eating, and there are also practical scenes.
The most conspicuous thing on the back is that there are four cameras in the black circle,Compared with Apple's three-camera scheme, it can only be said that turnip greens have their own love,None of them are particularly beautiful solutions,And in terms of recognition,Mate 30 ProThis "Oreo-style" multi-camera solution has been followed up by other manufacturers,For exampleNex3 and OnePlus7T。 When the same solution is adopted by multiple manufacturers, it will weaken the recognition of one of the models, and the Mate 30 is weaker than the Mate 20's bath bomb triple camera design in this regard. Several colors on the back of the fuselage are biased towards business, which is in stark contrast to the P30 Pro, which obviously pursues personalization and diversification, and the texture is still top-notch in the flagship camp.
The Mate 30 Pro weighs 198g, which isn't lightweight, but considering that it is equipped with a 4500mAh battery, most flagship models are also over 200g, which is already very restrained. In addition, the Mate 30 Pro canceled the earpiece and replaced it with a screen sound, and this screen sound does not participate in the work of the speaker, so the Mate 30 Pro is a single speaker.
In terms of screen, the Mate 30 Pro has a special resolution of 2400 x 1176, a ppi of 409 in the Pentile arrangement, a manual maximum brightness of 360 nits, and a maximum brightness of 640 nits in strong light excitation mode.
2K resolution is already more common in flagship machines, but Mate 30 Pro does not use a 2K OLED screen, nor does it have a high refresh rate, but in terms of screen quality, the Mate 30 Pro screen is already very good among Huawei models, not only is it much better than the P30 Pro, but it is also better than the BOE arrangement on the Mate 20 Pro in terms of font details.
Since it is a curved screen, the two commonplace problems of green on the left and right edges of the screen and anti-mistouch should be taken into account. Due to the physical characteristics of glass, the green color of the left and right edges of the screen is very obvious when the screen is on, and Huawei's solution to this problem is to turn off the extended display, display black pixels, and block the content at the edges.
The Mate 30 Pro does a good job of preventing false touches, as it shields out curved touch areas, and only touches on flat surfaces, greatly reducing the chance of false touches. The Mate 30 Pro has eliminated the volume button, which is not a particularly good solution, but it is just a choice made for the purpose of using a waterfall screen, double-click the volume bar to call, slide to adjust the volume, the operation is not accurate enough, and there is also a lack of feedback, and it is indeed not as intuitive as the pressure-sensitive volume button of the NEX 3.
Mate 30 Pro does not come with a film,This curved screen is the same as other curved screens,It's hard to buy a suitable film,The hot bending tempered film process is huge,The fit is not good,The soft film is more testing the film technology,It's not easy to paste,It is recommended to go to Huawei's offline stores to paste the official protective film。
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,Only Honkai Impact 3 has this situation in the early version,The official said that this bug would be modified。
Huawei's flagship models have been well received in recent years, and even though the P30 Pro with the RYYB sensor has been flawed in color reproduction, it can rely on the telephoto end and night scene performance to turn the tide. The Mate 30 Pro has four cameras on the rear, namely the MOF lens IMX316; Telephoto lens OV08A10, 8 million pixels, 10 million pixels after interpolation, aperture f/2.4, equivalent focal length 81mm; Wide-angle lens IMX608, 40 million pixels (4-in-1), aperture f/1.8, equivalent focal length 18mm; Main camera IMX600, 40 million pixels, aperture f/1.6, 27mm-equivalent focal length.
Although it looks like a quad-camera module, in fact, the TOF camera can't output photos, so it's still a triple camera system, and it doesn't use the P30 Pro's periscope telephoto, the equivalent focal length of the telephoto end is 81mm, which is 3x optical zoom compared to the main camera. The Mate 30 Pro is naturally not as good as the P30 Pro at the telephoto end, but it has a head-to-head win over the iPhone 11 Pro, with the Mate 30 Pro having more noise and the iPhone lacking in resolution.
Mate 30 Pro's main camera CMOS is IMX600y, the basis is IMX600, and the latter y refers to yellow, that is, the original RGGB green filter is replaced with a yellow filter, and yellow, red, and blue are used to restore the color seen by the human eye. This array is not the first of its kind to Huawei, as early as 2013, Aptina has applied for this patent, at that time Aptina proposed that due to the larger bandwidth of the Y filter, the blocking effect is worse, and the amount of light will be increased, but it will also lead to pixel crosstalk, affecting color guessing, and the artifact problem is that RYYB's pixel crosstalk at all incident angles is more serious than RGGB, especially at 45 degrees, there will be very obvious artifacts. After the acquisition of the Aptina by OnSemi, RYYB was mainly used as a sensor for automobiles, rather than as a shooting sensor.
In the face of the shortcomings of the basic hardware itself, the Mate 30 Pro's color adjustment is a big improvement over the P30 Pro, and there is no obvious pixel crosstalk in most scenes, such as the red and yellow color that often appears on the P30 Pro, and the skin will be yellowish when shooting portraits, but the Mate 30 Pro still has some color casts in a few scenes, such as purple when shooting the sunset in the evening, and purple dispersion when shooting leaves in the backlight.
Mate 30 ProThe main camera is very good in daytime imaging,It's just in the backlight this large light ratio scene,Due to the large amount of light intake from the sensor,The suppression of the highlights will be weaker than that of Apple and Samsung,At night,This advantage of large light intake can be reflected,Plus Huawei's exploration of the night scene mode has been very mature,Even if you only use the normal mode, you can shoot a clear night scene,Mate 30 Pro is still the top level of the flagship in this link。
Regarding the camera tuning style, the Mate 30 Pro will increase the saturation even if the AI mode is turned off, which is not as realistic as Apple's, or as natural as Samsung's, but for most consumers, it is enough to take out the camera, focus, and shoot, and the effect is very pleasing to the eye, which is also a way of thinking from the user's point of view.
The Mate 30 Pro is also making efforts in video shooting this year, and the ultra-wide-angle lens is generally used, but the stabilization effect is relatively average, and if you use the main camera for video shooting, the stabilization effect is very good, but it relies on image cropping, and the range of the picture is much smaller than that of the Apple 11 Pro. When it comes to night shooting, the Mate 30 Pro's brightness and detail are much better than Apple's, thanks to its support for night mode, both ultra-wide and wide-angle, the color of the main camera is much more normal than that of the P30 Pro, and the low-light shooting function on the P30 Pro is also retained.
As for the 7680 frames of super slow motion shooting, in fact, it is interpolated from 1920 frames, the resolution is 720P, and there will be interpolation errors in some scenes and the phenomenon of overturning, in daily use, 1920 frames of slow motion is slow enough, 7680 frames is more like an entertainment function, and it is just a marketing gimmick for the official, similar to the previous P30 Pro obtained ISO 409600 ultra-high sensitivity through digital gain.
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 charging battery life, Huawei's flagship phones in recent years have always done a good job, Mate 30 Pro is equipped with a 4500mAh large battery, there is no longer battery life anxiety on the 4G version, and it is also equipped with 40W wired fast charging, 27W wireless fast charging, wired charging can be charged to 65% in 30 minutes, charging to display 100% takes 66 minutes, and the output power of the charger drops below 1.5W in 90 minutes.
