Huawei Mate 40 Pro was released in October 2020, the phone is equipped with Kirin 9000 chip, using TSMC 5nm process technology, whether performance or energy consumption ratio, it is much better than the Snapdragon processor in the same period, but due to US sanctions, TSMC can not continue to produce Kirin 9000 chips for Huawei, consumers once thought that Kirin 9000 chips will be Huawei's last song. What's worse is that in addition to the Kirin chip, in the field of 5G RF chips, Huawei has also been suppressed by the United States, so that the Huawei P50 Pocket, which costs tens of thousands of yuan, can only support 4G networks, which is really regrettable.
However, just recently, Huawei quietly listed a mobile phone model Mate 40E Pro, excitingly, this phone finally supports 5G communication, since the release of Huawei's Mate40 series mobile phones, it has been more than a year, Huawei has finally overcome the problem of 5G RF chips during this time. So compared with the Huawei Mate 40 Pro, what are the special features of the Huawei Mate 40E Pro? Is the Huawei Mate 40E Pro worth buying? This article tells you the answer.
In terms of appearance, there is almost no difference between the two mobile phones, it is still the familiar 88 ° curved surface + "pill" screen, it is still a highly recognizable star ring design, even the weight of the whole machine is the same 212g, but it should be noted that huawei Mate 40E Pro only has three colors of Mithril, glazed white, and bright black, and there is no summer poplar and autumn poplar two plain leather colors.
The biggest difference between the two mobile phones is the processor, Huawei Mate 40 Pro is equipped with a Kirin 9000 chip with a 5nm process process, equipped with 1 3.13GHz Cortex-A77 large core, 3 2.54GHz Cortex-A77 core, 4 2.05GHz Cortex-A55 energy efficiency cores, gpu for 24 core Mali-G78, NPU using a dual large core + microcore design, the overall performance is quite good.
Huawei Mate 40E Pro is equipped with a Kirin 9000L chip, which is still foundry by TSMC, which is also a 5nm process, but the difference is that the Kirin 9000L has only 6 cores: 1 3.13GHz Cortex-A77 large core, 2.54GHz Cortex-A77 core, 3 2.05GHz Cortex-A55 energy efficiency cores, 22-core Mali-G78 GPU, and NPU using a large core + Micronucleus design.
From the perspective of parameters alone, the Kirin 9000L equipped with Huawei Mate 40E Pro is equivalent to a shrunken version of kirin 9000, with 1 Cortex-A77 core and 1 Cortex-A55 energy efficiency core, at the same time, the GPU is also missing two cores, and the NPU is less than one large core. Although two processor cores are missing, the frequency of each core is not reduced.
In terms of imaging, Huawei Mate 40 Pro and Huawei Mate 40E Pro both adopt a front-facing dual-camera and rear-facing triple-camera scheme, with a front-facing 13-megapixel super-perception camera and a 3D deep-sense camera. One 50MP wide-angle main camera, one 20MP movie camera, and one x 12MP telephoto camera (OIS optical image stabilization is supported) on the rear. Leica is still blessed, the only regret is that the main camera still does not support OIS optical image stabilization.
Both mobile phones are equipped with 4400mAh capacity batteries, and support 66W wired, 50W wireless charging, but considering that Huawei Mate 40E Pro reduces the processor core to 6 cores in the case of the same process process, the huawei Mate 40E Pro will theoretically have better battery life.
Finally, the price, Huawei Mate 40E Pro only has 8GB +256GB a configuration, priced at 6499 yuan, the price is the same as the 8GB+128GB version of the Huawei Mate 40 Pro, from the consumer's point of view, equivalent to using part of the processor's performance in exchange for 128GB of storage space. From Huawei's point of view, the release of the Huawei Mate 40E Pro conveys two important messages: If the Kirin 9000L is not a stock chip, it indicates that TSMC will be able to continue to produce chips for Huawei. The other is that Huawei has solved the problem of shortage of 5G RF chips, and Huawei's subsequent release of mobile phones will support 5G. Do you think the Huawei Mate 40E Pro, priced at 6499 yuan, is it worth buying? Looking forward to your wonderful review!
