What is the configuration of a Huawei Mate 30? Curved screen, Leica camera or the latest Kirin processor?

Recently, Huawei officially released a short video, announcing that the Mate 30 series will be released on September 19th in Munich, Germany. In this 6-second video, a silver ring contrasts sharply with the black background. I can’t help but think of the circular four-shot design in the previous Mate 30 concept rendering.

At the same time, this year’s Mate 30 product Slogan has also been changed to “Rethink Possibilities” (reconstruction imagination), it seems that it also reveals a big change in new opportunities. UnderIn this article, I have summarized the current product information about the Mate 30 series on the Internet, and together to unveil the mystery of this new machine.

Although we don’t know the screen parameters and suppliers of the Mate 30 series yet, from the current network exposure glass cover and film, at least one of the Mate 30 will continue to use the hyperboloid design, and Its curved curvature is also the largest of the current curved screen phones.

In late July, well-known digital blogger Ice Universe announced Mate on Weibo 30 Pro’s screen film, from the picture, this film still reserves the position of the “bangs”, and the degree of bending on both sides is also very obvious.

The Ice Universe also uses “This film should be the most difficult film in history.” It means that the film is difficult to manufacture. After all, it is not a simple matter to bend a glass film and fit it to the edge.

From another exposure view from a different angle, we can see that the edges of the screen have reached a nearly 90 degree bend, exceeding the screen curvature of Samsung and One Plus. This will further confirm the news that the “Mate 30 Pro will be equipped with a waterfall screen” that was previously exposed on the Internet.

Early, OPPO Vice President Shen Yiren also made a high-profile microblogging announced the OPPO new machine’s waterfall screen design. The design can bring the mobile phone to nearly 100% of the screen ratio, and also allows the touch function to replace the current mechanical button design and enhance the integration of the fuselage.

The other Mate 30 is Continue with regular flat screen design. However, it is worth noting that the top of the panel has two openings, which is completely different from the previously used water drop screen, where the foreign media guess may be to join the face recognition sensor. In addition, after zooming in on the picture, we can also see that there is a strip groove at the top of the screen, which may be the position of the handset.

Another message about the screen section is the localization of glass panels. In August, foreign media LetsGoDigital announced a group of Huawei Air Glass registered with the European Union Intellectual Property Office Screenshots and screenshots show that Air Glass’s registration category is “Ninth Class”, which is a mobile phone accessories such as a protective case, glass panel, and bracket for mobile phones.

Foreign media speculation, Huawei may use Air Glass toSteps to replace the Corning Gorilla Glass currently in use to reduce dependence on foreign companies.

In addition to the screen, this “official poster” that was madly posted on the Internet also shows the front and back of Mate 30. As can be seen from the poster, the Mate 30 features a hyperboloid glass and a metal mid-frame design, the top is similar to the P30 Pro, and the back ring is also made of a different process than the rest of the back cover. It may be a mirror + matte texture process.

In another exposure map of the “Mate 30 Series Case”, we can further determine the shape of the two phones in the series. First of all, both phones will be equipped with a round rear camera, and there will be a long strip of flash (Pro version may have independent sensors such as TOF).

Second, one of the Mate 30’s R-angle transitions will be more reputable than the other, and the volume key configuration is also removed. From the design of the front Mate 30 Pro waterfall screen, the Mate 30 Pro should be the more square body, and the Mate 30 is slightly rounded.

So from the aspect of appearance, we can sort out several Mate 30 series news points:

  • Mate 30 series will have at least two models
  • The camera parts of both phones have a ring design
  • One of them will use a waterfall screen, the overall shape of the body is square and there is no physical volume button, providing a separate face recognition system (TOF or structured light)
  • One of them uses a regular flat screen, but the top is a dual camera configuration, one of which is a front lens and the other is a face recognition sensor

The network configuration of the Mate 30 series is not much, but basically agree that this year the Mate 30 series will be equipped with four cameras, otherwise the protective casing of the two mobile phones will not open a strip.

In the four cameras, there is news that the machine will be equipped with two 40-megapixel CMOS, one of which is 1/1.55-inch outsole and the other is the same size as the P30 Pro. 1.7 inches. The remaining two are still super wide-angle and telephoto lenses, offering 12 megapixel super wide-angle cameras and 8 megapixel multi-optical zoom.

Although the new machine may have four cameras, what actually caught my attention is actually the “dual 40 megapixel” configuration. At present, the mobile phones we are using are mainly dual-camera and three-camera, that is, “main camera + telephoto” or “main camera + super wide-angle + telephoto”, even like Samsung Galaxy A9, Redmi Note8 Pro Four-shot phone, that’s just a lensFor depth of field detection. However, Huawei, which already uses TOF on the flagship, does not need a camera as an aid, and this is a 40-megapixel camera with different sensitivity specifications, so I am curious about this combination.

Performance is another highlight of the Mate 30 series. Although Huawei did not say what kind of SoC Mate 30 will carry, but from the current official announcement of the IFA release of new products, Mate 30 will probably launch the Kirin 990 processor.

According to the network exposure message, Kirin 990 will be 7nm + The EUV process is built (first). After the internal transistor density increases, the processor architecture does not change much, but the power consumption is lower than the old one. The performance comparison of the Kirin 980 will increase by about 10%. In addition, the Kirin 990 will also be equipped with the Baron 5000 baseband, supporting both NSA and SA 5G networking.

Since 5G has certain battery consumption requirements, the Mate 30 will also be equipped with a battery of 4000mAh or more. In addition to the previous Mate 20 Pro, the machine will also be equipped with a 40W SuperCharge fast charge. According to the domestic 3C certification page, the two 40W chargers have been certified and produced by BYD Precision and Hongfu Precision Industry.

The above network exposure news, in fact, we can also easily sort out some basic specifications of Mate 30:

The body is designed with hyperboloid glass and metal polished middle frame; the screen part adopts 6-6.7 inch hyperbolic waterfall screen, equipped with professional face recognition system, screen fingerprint recognition; equipped with Kirin 990 processor, built-in independent processing The AI ​​information NPU chip, 8GB start-up storage, 128GB start storage space, support 5G network.

The camera section is equipped with two 40 megapixel cameras and offers telephoto and super wide-angle shooting. Built-in 4000-4500mAh battery, support 40W fast charge and fast wireless charging function.

Overall, this year’s Mate 30 series has changed a lot in terms of design, processor and camera, especially the performance of the new processor of the Kirin 990 and the “dual 40 megapixel” configuration. A place worth looking forward to.

In addition, according to Huawei’s official announcement, Mate 30 will launch Huawei’s EMUI 10 system announced on HDC 2019. The system incorporates dark mode, support for distributed technology and in-vehicle interconnection to form Huawei’s own products. Linked to ecology.
