Huawei's flagship mobile phone price reduction is rare, generally only when the Mate series or P series iteration, the previously released flagship series will be reduced in price promotion. Of course, there are exceptions, such as now.
Now on the tenth anniversary of Huawei Mall 318, Huawei has launched a limited-time price reduction activity for the P50 series, covering two mobile phones, P50 and P50 Pro, and the Huawei P50 Pocket as a folding screen is not within the scope of price reduction activities. However, the price reduction of these two mobile phones is different, the P50 Pro series is reduced by 500 yuan, and the P50 is directly reduced by 100 yuan.
At present, Huawei P50 Pro has two versions, a Kirin 9000 version, one is the Snapdragon 888 version, due to the rapid sales of some colors, so only part of the memory specifications are equipped with Kirin 9000.
Take the cocoa tea gold color as an example, the color matching is the main color of the P50 Pro, and now only the 8GB+512GB version is equipped with kirin 9000, 8GB+128GB and 8GB+256GB for the Snapdragon 888, so when purchasing, you must see the version, and Huawei P50 has always been the whole series of Snapdragon 888.
So how to choose? If conditions permit, it is recommended to give priority to the Huawei P50 Pro Kirin 9000 version.
It's not that the performance of the Kirin 9000 is so brilliant in 2022, sometimes it's really a peer foil, especially in terms of power consumption.
In the Geekbench 5 test, the Kirin 9000 CPU part of the single core power consumption of 3.8W, multi-core power consumption of 8.9W, Snapdragon 8 this part of the power consumption of 4.2W and 11.1W respectively, the former is significantly lower than the latter, which means that the mobile phone equipped with Kirin 9000 has lower power consumption in daily use, less power consumption, and longer battery life. Under this power consumption, the CPU part performance of the two has not opened up much gap, the Kirin 9000 single-core 1135 points, multi-core 3753 points, Snapdragon 8 1200 and 3810 points, respectively.
However, the GPU performance of the Kirin 9000 is not as good as the current Snapdragon 8.
In the GFXBench Aztec Ruin test, the Snapdragon 8 was 43 frames at 1440P resolution and 126 frames at 1080P resolution, surpassing the A14 bionic and close to the A15 bionic used by the iPhone 13. The Kirin 9000 has a score of 35 frames and 95 frames, respectively, but the power consumption is also lower, at 10W, and the Snapdragon 8 is 11.2W.
However, smart phones and computers are not the same, like the performance of the game book attaches great importance to the graphics card, and now the operation of smart phones, games, and daily use value CPU performance, GPU performance is in a relatively surplus state. But this year is more special, this year's Snapdragon 8 mobile phone if the CPU open to run, although the performance is strong, but the power consumption and heat is difficult to bear, can only say that the small body of the smart phone bears too much.
It is worth noting that the game phones that have been released so far, such as the Red Devils 7 series and the Savior Y90, can play the real performance of the Snapdragon 8, although it is equipped with the same chip of the conventional flagship, but it has opened up a large gap in performance.
In contrast, although the ultimate performance of Kirin 9000 is not as good as that of Snapdragon 8, it is more suitable for daily use thanks to lower power consumption, which is one of the reasons why Kirin 9000 is called "YYDS" by netizens.
It is worth noting that the Kirin 9000 is playing a heavy-duty game such as "Original God", and there will also be a frame lock phenomenon, and other games such as "Glory of the King", "Peace Elite", "Crash 3" and so on can maintain high-quality and high-frame rate operation.
Therefore, from the performance itself, Huawei P50 Pro Kirin 9000 edition is not outdated this year, plus this phone also has a rare high-pixel large-bottom periscope telephoto this year, and it is not easy to achieve local leadership in imagery.
As for the P50 Pro and P50 equipped with Snapdragon 888 is not too recommended, although this chip has strong performance, but its own power consumption and heat is not small, so the battery life is not as good as the Kirin version.
But the screen of Huawei P50 is not bad, straight screen, high resolution, high color uniformity, medium and high brightness hardware DC + low brightness high-frequency PWM dimming, Buff is full.
In addition, due to sanctions, Huawei's P50 series does not support 5G, so when purchasing, it is necessary to pay attention to the signal coverage of applicable areas, and 5G is stronger than 4G in some areas. If you have the opportunity, it is recommended to buy Mate40 series 5G mobile phones, the best original price, and the balanced configuration of the series is actually more able to meet the needs of consumers.
"Is the Mate40 series 4G version worth buying?"
"Dear, turning off 5G in the settings of the Mate40 series 5G version is the 4G version."
