Huawei has just made the Huawei Mate 40 Pro and its Plus variant, their most ambitious high-end mobiles to date. The new high-end comes hand in hand with a renewed design and quite different from the rest of its rivals.
So let’s compare it with proposals from the first line As the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra, he OnePlus 8 Pro or the Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro, among others, to try to know where it is within this range.
The first with Kirin 9000
The Huawei Mate 40 Pro launches the Kirin 9000, the first 5nm processor with 5G integrated. It promises up to 30% extra performance in CPU and 50% in GPU compared to the Kirin 990, the processor mounted by its little brother, the Huawei Mate 30 Pro. Saving Samsung, that bets on Exynos in Europe, the rest of the rivals of this phone mount the Snapdragon 865.
Regarding the memory configuration, the Huawei Mate 40 Pro can go up to 512 + 12 GB, a spectacular configuration that is equaled by several of its rivals, such as the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra. On battery it leads with fast charging of 65W, a figure that only the high-end of the BBK group share (OnePus, Realme and OPPO).
If we talk about the panel, we have a diagonal of 6.76 inches, a gigantic panel that is only surpassed in inches by the Note 20 Ultra, with its 6.9 inches. The Mate 40 Pro has 90Hz, below the 120 Hz that some of its direct rivals have. Here the Sony Xperia 1 II comes out losing in refresh rate, with 60Hz, but 4K resolution.
In the case of the Mate 40 Pro, leave out the notch to bet on the double hole on the screen. The only one without notch in this comparison is the Sony, that has some frames on the top and bottom not so well used.
A bet on the camera, as a good high-end
On a photographic level, the Huawei Mate 40 Pro bets on a periscope, ultra-wide angle, ToF camera and its XD Fusion HDR technology to improve the dynamic range. All his rivals they have multiple cameras with wide angle and zoom, although each with different resolution.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 20 and Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro bet on 108 megapixels, while rivals like the Sony Xperia 1 II go down to traditional 12 megapixel sensors. In the same way, if we talk about selfie, at the megapixel level it remains at 13, compared to the 32 of the Realme X50 Pro and OPPO Find X2 Pro, winners in resolution (not in quality).
If we talk about software, The Huawei Mate 40 Pro comes with Android 10 and EMUI 11, although it does not have Google services. The rest of its rivals also bet on Android 10, each of them with different layers of customization.
