Shulou(Shulou.com)11/24 Report--

In 2017, Huawei Mate 10 series was officially launched with Porsche.

In 2018, the super night scene brought by Huawei Mate 20 series laid the foundation for the follow-up image development.

In 2019, Huawei Mate 30 Pro gained acclaim from the market with its waterfall screen design.

In 2020, with the success of Kirin 9000, the Mate 40 series let consumers see Huawei's potential in the chip field.

Huawei Mate series developed step by step, but stopped in 2021.

The Huawei Mate 50 series, which was supposed to be unveiled last year, did not meet with you as scheduled. I believe we all have some understanding of the reasons behind it. Huawei has been a hot search in the past two years, and every time Huawei appears in front of everyone with a news perspective, Huawei is either sanctioned or restricted. Frequently bound Huawei is like dancing in shackles, and unfair competition naturally slows down the progress of Huawei's Mate series research and development.

Despite repeated heckles, the Huawei Mate 50 series did not abort and finally appeared in the public eye at Huawei's autumn launch in 2022. Huawei launched four new products for its Mate series in autumn, namely, Huawei Mate 50 E, Huawei Mate 50, Huawei Mate 50 Pro and Huawei Mate 50 RS. In terms of chip, except Huawei Mate 50E uses Snapdragon 778G, other models use Snapdragon 8+. CTOnews.com also got the real Huawei Mate 50 Pro machine for the first time. This article will also talk in detail about the actual experience of Huawei Mate 50 Pro from the perspective of our experience during this period of time.

Appearance: in terms of color, Huawei Mate 50 Pro has launched a total of 5 color matches, three of which are glass versions, including obsidian gold black, frost silver and streamer purple. The two are plain leather versions with Kunlun Breaking Dawn and Kunlun Xiaguang respectively. What CTOnews.com started this time is the Kunlun Xiaguang in the plain skin version. Compared with the glass backplane, the plain leather backplane does not need to consider the problem of fingerprint contamination, and the bare metal feel is more intimate. Look and feel, Kunlun Xiaguang color matching is very bright, the color inspiration is taken from the Xiaguang before the fall, with the gold camera module and gold metal frame as a whole feel colorful and not vulgar.

The reason why the high-end image of the Mate series can be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people is inseparable from the back cover design heritage that Huawei Mate 20 series started. The iconic camera module follows the Mate series "circle" + "axisymmetric" design language. At the same time, Huawei Mate 50 Pro also adds a new element to the edge of the module-Paris studs, which from a distance looks like adding a circle of frosted particles to the edge of the camera to increase the detail and level of the lens module.

The design of the Huawei Mate 50 Pro camera module has been inherited and changed compared with the Huawei Mate 40 series. Huawei Mate 40 hides the lens in the black circle of the camera module for a stronger sense of integration. While Huawei Mate 50 Pro lens part is independent and protruding from the whole lens module, the lens arrangement is more clear and obvious. In short, the iconic design is so recognizable that people can see at a glance that this model has the Mate pedigree.

On the front of the phone, Huawei Mate 50 Pro uses a hyperbolic screen design with a rounded edge. The hyperboloid design can not only improve the texture of the phone, but also reduce the body weight to a certain extent, making the grip feel more suitable for the palm. Huawei Mate 50 Pro body size is 162.1mm (long) x 75.5mm (wide) x 8.5mm (thick), the bare metal weight of the plain leather version is only 205g, which is much lighter than expected under the 6.74inch screen comparison.

In addition, Huawei Mate 50 Pro screen top bangs area has also become smaller, can effectively reduce the occlusion of the display screen, during daily use, the presence of the top bangs is minimal.

Although the size of Huawei's Mate 50 Pro bangs has shrunk, there are a lot of internal components. The 1300 megapixel front camera (F2.4 aperture), attitude sensor, 3D ToF deep camera, ambient light sensor and a loudspeaker are all concentrated in this small bang. For manufacturers, small bangs and 3D deep shots are like the relationship between a fish and a bear's paw, while Huawei's Mate 50 Pro lets it have both, with small details that show the maturity of Huawei's technology and ideas.

In terms of appearance details, Huawei Mate 50 Pro power button is still red, and there is an infrared receiver at the top in addition to the microphone. The position of the loudspeaker is moved from the original top frame to the bangs on the screen, which can bring more volume in handheld mobile phone calls. At the bottom of the screen are SIM card slots, Type-C charging ports, and speaker openings.

In terms of appearance, Huawei Mate 50 Pro maintains the consistent high standard of the Mate series, with a light appearance and excellent texture, which is in line with the positioning and price of the flagship machine.

In addition to the mobile phone body, there are 66W charger, Cmura fast charge data line, SIM pin, transparent mobile phone protection case and member rights gift card.

Screen: in terms of screen, the frame of Huawei Mate 50 Pro screen is also well controlled, with the display covering the front of the phone, and the screen is almost as wide as four sides. In terms of parameters, Huawei Mate 50 Pro screen supports 120Hz screen refresh rate, 300Hz touch sampling rate, 1440Hz PWM dimming, HDR Vivid display and so on.

Putting aside the hardware data, observe the Huawei Mate 50 Pro screen with the naked eye, this 2612 x 1212 resolution screen calmly squeezes into the first echelon of the screen, the feeling is clear and transparent. Relying on the global color management system and PWM dimming, we can solve the professional or personalized needs of all kinds of users.

Performance: Huawei Mate 50 Pro processor uses Snapdragon 8QR, although Huawei did not say much about the mobile phone processor at the press conference, but this processor is enough to show Huawei's sincerity.

In terms of processor core architecture, according to GeekBench 5 information, Snapdragon 8 + in Huawei Mate 50 Pro uses ARMv8 instruction set, not 5G version of Snapdragon 8 + ARMv9. The core aspect is still composed of 1 X2 super large core (3.19GHz), 3 A170 large cores (2.75GHz), and 4 A510 energy efficiency cores (2.02GHz). Both the number of cores and the core frequency are the same as the 5G version of Snapdragon 8 +, so there is no need to worry about Huawei Mate 50 Pro in terms of performance release.

In the running score test, the comprehensive score of an Rabbit is about 101 million, including CPU 250000 and GPU 450000. Compared with the 5G version of Snapdragon 8 + running scores, the 4G version will indeed be affected in terms of scores.

According to the flash performance test, Huawei Mate 50 Pro read speed reached 1722.85 MB/s and write speed reached 1084.14 MB/s, which far exceeded the standard level of UFS 3.1.

In terms of GeekBench 5 running points, Huawei Mate 50 Pro single core 1260, multi-core 3919 points.

In the 3DMark WildLife that reflects the theoretical performance of GPU, Huawei Mate 50 Pro reaches the limit.

So CTOnews.com switched to WildLife Extreme, which requires a greater load on mobile phones, in which Huawei Mate 50 Pro scored 2695.

In 20 rounds of WildLife Extreme cycle tests, Huawei Mate 50 Pro has the best cycle score of 2731, the lowest cycle score of 1600, and stability of 58.6%. This stability score is above-average compared with the phones previously tested by CTOnews.com.

When the running score test is over, you naturally have to fight in the game. HarmonyOS 3 on Huawei Mate 50 Pro launches a super-frame game engine specifically for game scenes, which accurately predicts the information of the next frame of the game through pixel-level inter-frame prediction, thus reducing rendering workload, reducing power consumption, and effectively controlling temperature.

First of all, "Arena of Valor", because our Huawei Mate 50 Pro is an engineering machine, so the maximum frame rate of the game can only be opened at 90 frames. In the game mode with the highest picture quality and 90 frames, Arena of Valor has an average frame rate of 89.7 frames in 30 minutes, and the game is in a state of full frames throughout the game. No occasional stutters occurred in either the opening scene or the death scene.

The average frame rate of "Yuan Shen" in 30 minutes is 56.6 frames.

In addition, at the press conference, Huawei specially introduced the high frame rate original game experience of "Diablo Immortal". At present, Huawei Mate50 Pro can exclusively enjoy the 90FPS high frame rate and 1080p original painting game experience in this game. After half an hour of actual game testing, the average frame rate of Huawei Mate50 Pro is 89.4 FPS.

As the excellent tradition of Huawei Mate series with large battery and long battery life, Huawei Mate 50 Pro is naturally ready to pass on. Although the charging power is the same as the previous generation's 66W wired fast charging and 50W wireless super fast charging, the battery capacity has increased from Huawei Mate 40 Pro 4400mAh to 4700mAh. After the CTOnews.com test, when the phone has 1% of the battery left and the message screen is turned on, it can charge 37% of the battery in 10 minutes.

In terms of battery life, Huawei Mate 50 Pro is equipped with "emergency mode" for the first time. When the mobile phone battery is only 1%, it can also meet 12-minute calls or bright code 10 times and other operations, to meet the emergency needs of users. After CTOnews.com testing, Huawei Mate 50 Pro lasted a total of 11 minutes and 32 seconds when the phone still had 1% battery. In addition, the emergency mode does not mean that the mobile phone reserves more power at 1% of the battery to deceive the user, because once the mobile phone exits the emergency mode in low power mode, it will automatically turn off immediately because the battery is too low.

Image: starting with the Huawei P9 taken by Leica, Huawei is deeply bound to the word image. AI, multi-shot, RYYB, periscope telephoto... The brand has experienced ups and downs, but when it comes to mobile phone images, Huawei has never been left behind. Huawei Image is undergoing a transformation this year after the conclusion of its five-year long-distance running contract with Leica. Huawei Mobile Image brand-Huawei Image XMAGE is a new product on Huawei Mate 50 Pro.

After all, this system appears in front of the public for the first time, so it is necessary to explain Huawei Image XMAGE. This system is currently deeply studied in three areas: technological innovation (optical system, mechanical structure, imaging technology, image processing), image style (realism, transparency), and shooting experience (color, light and shade). Huawei Mate 50 Pro uses the superluminous variable XMAGE image.

The superlight variation here is due to the fact that the main aperture of Huawei Mate 50 Pro can be adjusted between f / 1.4 murf / 4.0.

In addition, in the main photo configuration, Huawei Mate 50 Pro adds optical anti-shake compared to Huawei Mate 50. The parameters of the two secondary cameras are:

1300 megapixel F2.2 aperture ultra-wide-angle lens (supports ultra-macro shooting)

6400 megapixel F3.5 periscope telephoto lens (RYYB, 3.5x optical zoom, OIS anti-shake, 100x digital zoom)

Huawei Mate 50 Pro camera hardware specifications are strong, relying on a variety of hardware, combined with ISP and algorithm upgrades, in theory, Huawei Mate 50 Pro can perform well.

A careful friend may find out why the three-camera module has four lenses. In fact, the fourth lens has a symmetrical design and a built-in proximity light sensor and laser focus sensor, which can help the camera focus speed.

Next, let's take a look at the main sample photo of Huawei Mate 50 Pro (all uploaded photos are compressed):

Huawei Mate 50 Pro

Huawei Mate 50 Pro master lens performed well. The addition of a variable aperture allows Huawei Mate 50 Pro to greatly reduce the interference of ambient light during the shooting process. When the light is good during the day, the Huawei Mate 50 Pro sample is transparent and clean, the white balance is just right, and it is close to the naked eye. For example, in the image below, every piece of glass in the Huawei Mate 50 Pro lens is clearly colored, the highlights of the glass are only exposed, and the details of the grass in the backlight can be preserved. In addition, due to the color gamut and adaptation of the display screen, the effect is better and the color is more vivid when viewing the sample sheet on Huawei Mate 50 Pro.

In the night scene, the sample shot by Huawei Mate 50 Pro has obvious light and dark contrast, the dark place is dark, and the bright place is bright and transparent, so the picture can't help but attract praise. In the following series of pictures, for example, Huawei's Mate 50 Pro night scene sample is much brighter than the environment captured by the naked eye, and Huawei's night scene is not simply stupid, the sample brightness is increased, and it also has a steady control over the color and dark details of the picture. This kind of performance is inseparable from the technology accumulation of XMAGE imaging system over the years.

Huawei Mate 50 Pro Night View

Let's take a look at this 6400-megapixel telephoto lens. In the daytime scene, the telephoto lens relies on the advantage of high pixels. Even if you magnify the 5XMagol 10X photovariant sheet partially, the details of the picture can still remain sharp and clear. In addition, 3.5x optical zoom has the advantage of natural composition in large scenes, combined with OIS optical anti-shake and XMAGE color management, greatly improve the shooting rate of Huawei Mate 50 Pro.

Huawei Mate 50 Pro telephoto

Generally speaking, although Huawei Mate 50 Pro is not assisted by Leica, the performance of the XMAGE imaging system is exactly the same as that of Leica. I believe this system can lay the foundation for the development of Huawei image.

As for the lack of experience, the problem of blurred preview interface in the shooting process is still unsolved. Although the preview blur will widen the gap between the sample and the preview window, it still affects the shooting experience more or less.

Beidou: Beidou satellite information transmission function, as a new feature introduced in public view for the first time, CTOnews.com also has a fresh experience for this. First of all, this function is based on the internal hardware of Huawei Mate 50 Pro phones, so previous models cannot obtain satellite message transmission rights through simple system upgrades.

In Huawei Mate 50 Pro Open App, the Beidou satellite message function can be called. When in use, the mobile phone needs to be tilted sharply to calibrate. When the mobile phone receives the satellite signal, it will make clear instructions on the mobile phone screen, and you only need to follow the prompt steps to complete the transmission of the satellite message. At present, the whole signal receiving and transmitting process is very smooth and mature, and the signal search and transmission time can be completed in only 20 seconds.

In addition, even if there is no card in the phone, you can still call the Beidou satellite message function, so you don't have to worry about the Beidou satellite signal being interfered by the communication operator. At present, messages can only support 17 phrases built into the system, and message customization is not supported. The same message can be sent to up to 4 contacts at the same time.

On the one hand, the receiver of the Beidou satellite message will receive a Beidou satellite communication text message from Huawei, which contains the sender's communication content, location information, and GPS address details, making it convenient for users to locate and find it quickly.

Conclusion: I don't know how many people remember the original intention of the Mate series when it was released. As the author has been in contact with Huawei pollen since Mate 10 Pro, I have witnessed the growth and leap of Huawei Mate series. Both the former Huawei Mate and the current Huawei Mate have never left the word innovation. As Huawei's old flagship series, each generation of Mate represents Huawei's top technology and technology, as Yu Chengdong said at the Huawei Mate 50 Pro launch event-"only Mate can surpass Mate."

After two years of precipitation of Huawei Mate 50 Pro, Huawei has given its greatest sincerity under the current conditions. We can see changes in Huawei Mate 50 Pro both in appearance and performance. Despite the traditional hardware competition, Huawei Mate 50 Pro is also equipped with Kunlun glass, which is more resistant to falling and wear, and will also support official memory expansion in the future. In my opinion, Huawei places users' expectations on this phone, and every user hopes that Huawei can go longer, and Huawei also hopes that this phone can accompany users further.
