At the just past Huawei Mate 40 series conference, the new flagship was officially unveiled, and it is the seventh year since the first product of Huawei Mate series came out.

As Huawei's highest-end flagship model, this time the Mate40 series is still full of configurations, equipped with the new Kirin 9000 chip, and the camera module strength has risen again, with both inheritance and beyond. Of course, due to the special situation of Kirin chips, Huawei Mate40 series has received unprecedented attention at the moment.

We are honored to experience the new Huawei Mate 40 Pro at the first time. As a hands-on, this time we mainly share with you the "first impression" of the appearance, color matching, feel, and screen look and feel of Huawei Mate 40 Pro.

On the front of the phone, Huawei Mate 40 Pro and Pro+ models use a 6.76-inch double-drilled curved screen with a screen curvature of 88 degrees, which is visually close to the waterfall screen of the Mate 30 series, but the "volume adjustment button" on the side And the "power button" are no longer virtual buttons, but in the form of physical buttons. I believe this return will make many users happy.

In addition, Huawei Mate 40 uses a single-hole screen solution instead of using the "Liu Haiping" on the previous two generations of products. In terms of parameter configuration, it is a mainstream 1080P 90Hz OLED screen with a size of 6.5 inches, as the standard The money is still stable.

In the front view, the left and right borders of Huawei Mate 40 Pro are well hidden, and the picture extends to a wider area, and the visual immersion is very strong. In addition, the grip of the whole machine is also good. With the excellent vibration X-axis linear motor and the new EMUI 11, the hands-on experience is smooth and comfortable.

Compared with the front, the back of the Huawei Mate 40 series is actually more eye-catching. It can be seen as adding a "hollow" design to the Mate 30 "Halo" camera module to make the Huawei Mate 40 camera model The team presents a "star ring" style. The new design adds a touch of futuristic sense to the fuselage. I personally think it will be more eye-catching than the previous generation.

In the super-large Mate40 Rs Porsche Design version, the back camera module has become an octagonal "star diamond design", and an infrared temperature sensor is added.

In terms of body color matching, Huawei Mate 40 and Huawei Mate 40 Pro provide five colors of bright black, glaze white, secret silver, green and yellow. Among them, black and white silver is made of glass, which has a more translucent look, and yellow and green are plain leather materials. , More advanced texture. As for the ceramic black and white, it is exclusive to Pro+.

In terms of battery life, the Huawei Mate 40 series has increased the wired charging speed to 66w and the wireless charging power to 50W. The basic experience should be good, but there are not many surprises. The Huawei Mate 20 Pro I bought two years ago achieved 40W faster It once surpassed OV to become the leader of fast charging. In 2020, when the friend business rushes to 120W, Huawei's 66W can be said to be able to play, but it will not be an exclusive selling point. However, compared to the similarly positioned Apple and Samsung flagships, Mate40 Pro is still a lot stronger in terms of charging configuration.

As for the camera, the camera module of Mate40 will not be as radical and bold as the P series. The main purpose is to complete and apply the mature solutions in the P series. Basically, it is configured with iron barrels. In the list released by DxOMark, Huawei Mate40 Pro camera scores It was 136 points and 104 points for selfies, both ranking first. Judging from the paper parameters, except for the 10X periscope lens, the image quality of Huawei Mate40 Pro is basically the same as the true flagship Huawei Mate40Pro+. Pro+ has the following characteristics:

• 50 million high pixel outsole main camera
• 20 million pixel ultra-wide-angle movie lens
• 12 million pixel 5X periscope lens and 8 million pixel 10X periscope lens
• 3D deep lens

What’s interesting is that this time Huawei’s statement on the telephoto lens has also been adjusted in accordance with the iPhone 12’s “telephoto definition”. With the addition of the benchmark of “compared to ultra-wide-angle lens”, Pro can achieve 7 times Optical zoom, and Pro+ can achieve 17x optical zoom.

If you talk about the biggest upgrade point of Huawei Mate40, it is naturally the Kirin 9000 chip. This chip, known as the "Peerless Kirin", has received unprecedented attention in the past six months and will still be a hot topic for some time to come.

The Kirin 9000 is manufactured based on the 5nm EUV TMSC process. The official said it is 10% faster than the Android flagship Snapdragon 865+ standard in 2020, but at present, we cannot test its performance and power consumption. As for 5G, Huawei's 5G mobile phone has been updated to the third generation, and its maturity may be the highest in the mobile phone industry. The details will not be repeated. Everything depends on the actual experience.

Regarding the image and performance of the Huawei Mate40 series, as well as the update and upgrade of EMUI 11, we will share with you in the future in-depth experience article.
