As Huawei's top mobile phone, huawei Mate40 Pro represented Huawei's highest technical level when it was first listed. The ultra-curved screen, the iconic star ring design, the pure white back shell, and the Kirin 9000 self-developed chip were "taken to the sky" when they were first listed, and the phone even needed to increase the price by several thousand to buy. The popularity of the Mate40 Pro has been very high after the listing, but the Huawei Mate40 Pro, which has recently been "praised in the sky", suddenly stopped being hot. The reason is very realistic and frustrating!
1, the product force has been reduced to the second-line level
When the Mate40 Pro was first listed, it was really strong in all aspects, but after all, it was an old model that was listed 1 and a half years ago, and it was Apple's iPhone 12 that was listed at the same time. With the passage of time, the former machine emperor Mate40 Pro is now reduced to a second-tier level in all aspects of its product strength.
For example, the Kirin 9000 5G is still very invincible in terms of energy efficiency ratio, the daily use is smooth and not hot, and the power consumption and frame rate under the medium and light games are much better than the dragon. However, its performance is still outdated, the theoretical performance is only the level of Snapdragon 888 and Tianji 8100, and the Kirin 9000 chip has lagged far behind Apple A15 and Snapdragon 8Gen1.
In terms of photography, Huawei Mate40 Pro has been left behind by the domestic flagship machine, it even released last year's vivo X70 Pro+ can not beat, after all, vivo uses a large outsole main camera + micro gimbal + V1 chip + ZEISS coating + 5 times periscope, and Huawei Mate40 Pro main camera for IMX700 RYYB, although the picture quality performance is also very good, but there is still a gap compared with vivo such a professional player.
In terms of screen, the flagship machine of domestic mobile phone manufacturers has popularized the flexible OLED screen of Samsung 2K E5/E4, and the audio quality of the Xiaomi 10S, 11 Pro, 12 Pro and other flagship machines can hang Huawei Mate40 Pro 5G. To be fair, in addition to the system and appearance and texture, Huawei Mate40 Pro has been reduced to the second echelon.
2, the market price remains high
At present, the Mate40 Pro 4G version and the 5G version of the official continue to be out of stock, Mate40 Pro 5G version of the third-party merchant price is still as high as 7800 yuan or more, the market price remains high, so that many people who want to start this model are discouraged.
Coupled with the increasing strength of the glory products after independence, the comprehensive product power of the honor magic4 pro has surpassed the level of the Mate40 Pro, and the honor UI and interaction are very similar to Huawei Hongmeng, even cloud services can be seamlessly synchronized with the past, coupled with a very similar appearance, the honor magic4 Pro has become a substitute for Huawei Mate40 Pro, and Huawei's attention has naturally declined.
3, Huawei king returned, Mate50 is fierce
Yu Chengdong said some time ago that Huawei mobile phones will return in 2023, so many people have become a waiting party, no longer pay attention to Huawei Mate40 Pro, but began to pay attention to the latest developments of the Mate50 series, which is also an important reason why Huawei Mate40 Pro is no longer popular.
summary
After rational analysis, I felt helpless. Because the mobile phone market will appear every six months with updated technology and stronger chips. It's obviously unfair to compare the Mate40 Pro from a year and a half ago to the top flagship now. But helplessly, due to various reasons, Huawei still can't come up with a real top flagship to kill the four parties, I hope that in 2023, Huawei can return to the king as soon as possible!
