Now Huawei can not update the product in time because of chip supply, nor can it use 5G chips for new machines, so some netizens want to buy some old flagship models. However, for Huawei, it is currently in a difficult period, and old products cannot be processed in a timely manner, which also brings huge pressure.
For example, Huawei Mate40Pro this mobile phone, as a flagship released on October 22, 2020, has now passed more than a year, then in the hardware configuration will naturally appear aging phenomenon, especially the need to fight with the flagship of friends, although very much want to support Huawei, but have to face the fact that Huawei Mate40Pro is also gradually losing its purchase value.
Huawei Mate40Pro this mobile phone it uses 5 nanometer Kirin 9000 processor, can support 5G network, the current newly launched Huawei mobile phones are only 4G network, so this is also one of the most powerful Huawei 5G mobile phones, this processor integrates 15 billion transistors, with Hongmeng system 2.0, if it is only daily use, fluency is enough. But now the new Android phones are also very fast in terms of performance, they are already new Snapdragon 8, and Apple's iPhone 13 also has an A15 chip.
If you follow the normal release rhythm, Huawei has already released a new generation of chips, rather than the Kirin 9000 before the use, so although this can not blame Huawei, but it must be admitted that competitors will not stay for Huawei. For Huawei Mate40Pro, the backwardness in performance also leads to its inability to compete fairly with friends, and for users, there will also be performance problems that users will face if they want to play large games.
Huawei Mate40Pro is not without advantages, such as it can also have 88 ° ultra-curved OLED ring screen, in addition to its ability to support IP68 waterproof and dustproof, in the current flagship machine, this is also relatively rare, most of this year's Android flagships are missing this function. As for the 50-megapixel super-sensitive lens shooting, huawei Mate40Pro, although not the current best performance, can still maintain a first-class level.
However, in terms of price, the original release price of Huawei Mate40Pro was 8GB + 128GB priced at 6499 yuan, the current price is 5789 yuan, and the actual price reduction is only about 700 yuan. This price is actually a bit embarrassing, after all, as a flagship machine more than a year ago, most models have entered the stage of clearance and price reduction, but this is only to maintain a "slight drop" price for Huawei Mate40Pro, compared to xiaomi 12, iPhone 13 and other new flagship prices are indeed no advantage, so many netizens said that even if Huawei Mate40Pro has a price reduction, I did not expect to be able to buy more than a year later.
The author believes that Huawei Mate40Pro is already an old flagship, due to Huawei chip reasons can not be released in time Huawei Mate50Pro, so the price can be so firm, for users, this is also not in line with the actual needs, the price is slightly more expensive, for Yu Chengdong, it is also very helpless, many times said at the press conference, if it is not because of these external factors, Huawei should be the first. If it were you, would you spend five or six thousand to buy the Huawei Mate40 Pro?
