On February 28, Huawei low-key listed the Mate40 E Pro new machine in the official mall, which is equipped with a Kirin 9000L chip and supports 5G networks, which is a surprise to the majority of pollen.
At 10:08 a.m. on March 3, Huawei Mate 40E Pro 5G was officially launched, priced at 6499 yuan (8+256G), with three fuselage colors: bright black, glazed white, and secret silver.
Previously, some digital bloggers said that the Kirin 9000L chip is very rarely stocked, and it is bought and cherished, which can be seen from the fact that the Mate40E Pro only has 8+256G. Just after 10:08 a.m. on March 3, the Mate40E Pro was sold out, becoming another hard-to-find phone.
In terms of configuration, the difference between the Mate 40E Pro and the Mate 40 Pro is on the chip, the Mate 40E Pro adopts the "residual blood version" of the Kirin 9000L 6-core chip, although it is also based on the 5nm process, but the performance lags behind the "full blood version" of the Kirin 9000 in all aspects.
In terms of specific parameters, Kirin 9000L adopts 1*Cortex-A77 3.13GHz+2*Cortex-A77 2.54GHz+3*Cortex-A55 2.05GHz, equipped with 22-core Mali-G78 GPU, large core + micro-core NPU. Kirin 9000 is 1*Cortex-A77 3.13GHz+3*Cortex-A77 2.54GHz+4*Cortex-A55 2.05GHz, 24-core Mali-G78, Dual Large Core + Microcore NPU. The Kirin 9000L has 2 core CPUs, 2 core GPUs, and 1 large core NPU less than the Kirin 9000.
Despite the shrinkage of performance, the Kirin 9000L can still ensure the smooth operation of the Mate 40E Pro, after all, it is a flagship-level chip. It's just that in the face of a large-scale game that eats more configurations, that is, there is no "core" powerless, but I believe that users who buy this mobile phone will not be game enthusiasts.
In other configurations, the Mate 40E Pro and Mate 40 Pro are consistent, with a 6.76-inch 2772*1344 resolution, 90Hz refresh rate 88° ultra-curved OLED screen, a 50-megapixel wide-angle main camera + 20MP ultra-wide-angle lens + 12MP telephoto lens, a front-facing 13MP main camera + a 3D depth lens, supporting 5x optical zoom, up to 50x digital zoom, and 3D face recognition and payment.
Built-in 4400mAh capacity battery, support 66W wired super +50W wireless fast charge, factory pre-installed Hongmeng HarmonyOS 2 operating system, IP68 level dustproof and waterproof.
Previously, Huawei executives have confirmed that the Mate50 series will be released this year, but from the current situation, the Mate50 series may still be just a 4G mobile phone, equipped with a 4G version of the Snapdragon 8 chip customized by Qualcomm for Huawei.
Industry insiders analyzed that the Kirin 9000L chip is not manufactured by Samsung, but the "tail goods" of TSMC, since Huawei has taken out the treasure at the bottom of the pressure box, indicating that the inventory of the Kirin 9000 series chips is indeed very rare.
This hard-to-find Huawei Mate40E Pro may be Huawei's only 5G mobile phone this year, and for users who like Huawei mobile phones, it is really "buy and cherish".
