At the end of last year, the Honor V20 series relied on the exclusive period of IMX586 for a while. It was caught by surprise that the Samsung GM1 model was used. The dispute of 48 million between real and fake also caused a battle of saliva.
This year’s glorious V30 series is a little earlier than last year, and it was released a full month in advance. The V30 series also brings more selling points this time, such as IMX600 RYYB, a Huawei-only CMOS sensor, such as Kirin 990 5G, the best chip in the Kirin family.
Double-drilled LCD screen and camera matrix with larger bottom
No matter who gets what mobile phone, the next step is to avoid turning on the screen, but after staring at the screen for a few seconds, I started to notice a strange feeling. It felt a little familiar and a little strange.
I remembered it after half a minute. It turned out to be “LCD flavor”. After using the OLED screen for many days, I had a strange sense of alienation on the LCD screen until the Honor V30 Pro took my memory like The precipitated juice is stirred again to wake it up.
Obviously, LCD materials and OLED materials are very different in basic look and feel. OLED screens have better contrast. You can see very gorgeous colors and dark black levels. The LCD screen seems to have a soft light effect. OLED has such a strong visual stimulus. Naturally, you no longer need to worry about whether the Honor V30 Pro has DC dimming.
In the glory brand, the use of LCD is actually the norm, and the use of OLED screens is actually an accident. This also confirms that I did not use the Honor Phone for quite some time. Before I saw the digging screen, I took it for granted that it was an OLED screen, but in fact, the earliest digging screen on the market was LCD.
In the upper left corner of the Honor V30 Pro screen, there is a dual-camera design similar to the Samsung S10 +. Some people will definitely feel uncomfortable with this design, but considering the S10 + ‘s tens of millions of sales, it is completely unacceptable. Kong’s people are not in the majority. If you really care about this problem, then you really don’t know the radio waves, and you definitely won’t add this phone to your shopping cart. As for the actual impact, when watching the video, the picture will be automatically reduced to below the digging hole. It feels good except that the picture is reduced a bit.
In terms of hardware specifications, this screen uses 6.57 inches, a 20: 9 ratio, and a resolution of 2400 × 1080. Familiar LTPS Incell process and support 96% NTSC color gamut and DCI-P3 color gamut. There are no flaws in terms of specifications. After all, LCD is already a very mature technology. The biggest drawback is probably that the previously rumored 90Hz was absent on both models of the V30 series.
But to be honest, starting from the second half of this year, it is actually difficult to see the new camera of the lifting camera. The return of the special-shaped screen such as the water drop screen is not only the choice of the manufacturer, but also the choice of the public, and next year The digging screen will be an absolute mainstream design, and it is not only the Honor V30 series that uses dual cameras to dig holes.
Following the two front holes, one of the two fronts is a 32-megapixel camera that has recently been used a lot, and the other is an 8-megapixel ultra-wide-angle front. Super wide-angle can play a good role, and it also supports AI HDR + effects and algorithms such as portrait night scenes. Where the space is limited in the front end, the effect of algorithm blessing will be greater.
It is interesting that even if you turn off all the AI and beauty, the camera will invert the interface to white to achieve a soft light fill effect in a dark environment. In addition, this beauty algorithm really can make person P very white, so I will not let myself take pictures.
The real focus is on the three camera matrices on the back. It really says “MATRIX CAMERA” plainly. The three cameras are a 40-megapixel main camera + a 12-megapixel movie lens + an 8-megapixel 3X telephoto.
The main camera is Sony IMX600 RYYB CMOS, with a 1 / 1.7-inch outsole. It is still the first echelon in the current sensor performance of mobile phones. This sensor has long been developed because of the P30 Pro and Mate 30 Pro. The camera has been moved, and the glory of Honor V30 Pro’s main photo is known to everyone.
Under the blessing of the sensor, the main photo is takenThe camera behaves as always, especially in a room with complex ambient light and ordinary brightness. With the multi-frame composition of AI, it can achieve excellent tolerance.
The sub-shot is a 12-megapixel movie lens. The movie lens can be said to be a new concept started on the Mate30 series. Compared with ordinary ultra-wide-angle lenses, the field of view is not as wide, but it is wider than the main camera. . At the same time, the CMOS ratio adopts a 16: 9 ratio. In this case, the cropping is less. When taking pictures with 16: 9 or wider ratio, the effective pixels are more. Finally, the five-axis intelligent anti-shake system. Supports dark light defibrillation.
In fact, from the Mate30 series to the V30 series, we can see that Huawei no longer wants to stick to the completely traditional ultra-wide-angle-wide-telephoto combination. The “movie lens” does not mean that it must be used to shoot video, but Huawei is Users are being encouraged to take videos.
There may be many reasons behind this, such as the widespread popularity of Vlog, such as the support of 5G on the network, etc. Huawei judged that video will be the next popular application scenario, so it customized and optimized the traditional ultra-wide-angle lens, and Packed as a “movie lens” concept, after users get used to Huawei’s settings and screens, user stickiness will gradually rise.
Of course, the specifications of this “movie lens” are not bad. Although it is not as good as the 40 million pixels of the Mate30 Pro, it still gives a large pixel of 1.4μm. If you only shoot 1080p resolution video, you can go further. Four-in-one to 2.8 μm, and excellent in video stabilization.
The last one is an 8-megapixel telephoto lens with 3X light change. Compared to the usual double telephoto, the medium shot has better composition space and the far-field effect is better, but the close-up occasionally I think the focal length is slightly longer. The picture quality is good.
nightThe time mode is still very violent. Extreme low light is the advantage of the RYYB sensor, which can pile up the screen brightness. I have almost never encountered the problem of consistent color casts. I don’t know if there is any further optimization. In fact, in the current urban environment, it is rare to encounter extreme low-light scenes. The environment shown in the figure below has been looking for a long time (auto mode), and the night scene mode is turned on, but it is easy to be confused because of the long exposure time. The automatic mode is completely sufficient, and the camera will automatically start multi-frame synthesis to brighten and reduce noise in low light conditions, but it is not as violent as the night scene mode.
In fact, I have a very deep impression after actual use, that AI technology has become more and more powerful on Huawei and Honor phones. After turning on the AI mode, when people are recognized in the viewfinder, they often get Will automatically switch to the portrait mode with blurred background.
In the past, AI enhancements such as increasing the saturation of the blue sky and grass, or the food mode making food enticing. These are all enhancements to the details of the picture in my opinion, rather than changing your intention to take pictures, but Automatically switching to portrait mode does have an AI that helps you determine what you want to shoot.
Another impression is that this night, you can use the night scene to shoot your frozen hands. The super night scene of 5-8 seconds is really difficult to use in winter.If it can shrink to two seconds, I would still use it. Suddenly thought, AI can actually set the upper limit of the shooting time of night scene mode according to the positioning and local real-time temperature, which should be quite interesting.
Of course, in actual use, you can not let AI control so much, but the wider and more frequent application of AI has made me more aware that Huawei has very high confidence in AI technology, and it is very fast in actual experience. The identification and switching make me feel that the Kirin 990 5G chip behind HiSilicon is now very reliable.
The Kirin 990 5G brings dual-mode 5G, but the battery life is very reassuring.
The Honor V30 Pro has two core selling points this time. One is the same IMX600 RYYB main camera on the Mate30 Pro. The other core selling point is that you can’t see inside the fuselage, but it has the most impact on the experience. The important Kirin 990 5G.
Compared to the Kirin 990 5G, we may be more familiar with the Kirin 990. The model that was mainly shipped on the earlier-listed Huawei Mate30 series is equipped with the Kirin 990, while the highest-end Mate30 Pro 5G with 990 5G is It was only available a few days ago.
If you look closely, in fact, Kirin 990 5G and Kirin 990 have opened a gap in several aspects. Kirin 990 5G uses 7nm + EUV technology. The board area is 36% smaller than other solutions in the industry, so it can be integrated. 103 Million transistors. Of course, the most important thing is that it brings 5G network support in SA / NSA dual networking mode to Honor V30 Pro.
In addition, the core adopts a large, medium, and small three-cluster design of 2 + 2 + 4. The performance core still uses the A76 architecture, but it has been slightly improved compared to the Kirin 990 frequency. Da Vinci’s NPU architecture is also a commonplace. By increasing the performance core, the NPU performance is enhanced by a combination of “dual-core + single micro-core”, thereby enhancing the strength of mobile phones in AI application scenarios.
In terms of other specifications, there are three types of V30 Pro memory and storage space specifications: 6GB + 128GB, 8GB + 128GB, and 8GB + 256GB, plus UFS 3.0 and Huawei ’s system optimization. The smoothness is in EMUI10. This generation is already the first echelon on the market, and there has been no stuttering in the experience.
The Honor V30 Pro is equipped with a 4100mAh battery, which is slightly larger than the mainstream 4000mAh. Battery life optimization is also better than most manufacturers, and it will give people a sense of peace of mind. The charging speed used 40W fast charging. In 15 minutes of actual measurement, it was charged from 2% to 50% when it was close to shutdown, and it exceeded 70% in 30 minutes. The last trickle is slightly longer, still showing 99% in more than 50 minutes, and fully charged in the first hour.
In addition, the Honor V30 Pro also supports 27W wireless charging, which can be fully charged in about 80 minutes.
Practical appearance design, side fingerprint position is very comfortable
In fact, I rarely put the design and feel at the end of the hardware part, because this is a typical pragmatic design model, it does not have a lot of that kind of fancy things, such as curved screens and even It is a waterfall screen, and there is no hidden earpiece and screen sound technology. The selling point of the V30 series is not here. Last year’s V20 made people remember that it is also the 48-megapixel camera of IMX586.
Of course, there is nothing wrong with the design of the V30 Pro. The four-curved design on the back reduces part of the perception of thickness when holding it. The recessed power key integrates the fingerprint recognition function, and the position is right on my thumb For the belly, the index finger can also press this power button naturally when holding it with your left hand.
This means that you rarely need to further adjust the holding posture after picking up the V30 Pro in the most comfortable posture. This comfort may be difficult to detect at first, but the feeling is subtle, because the more There are also many negative cases on your expensive mobile phone, such as the S10 + power button that is too high and the power button designed by the left hand of Note10 +. You need to subjectively force yourself to adapt to each use.
< / p>
As for the specific grip feeling, the grip feeling is good without wearing a mobile phone case, the thickness is moderate, and the overall weight is a little bit. In the current mobile phone, it is neither a thin side nor a heavy one. After all, the battery has reached 4100mAh.
In terms of colors, the Honor V30 has four types: Icelandic Fantasyland, Magic Night Star River, Charm Blue Star, and Dawn Orange. But the Honor V30 Pro lacks the last orange, only white, black, and blue. Sometimes I really feel that the name of the mobile phone is too fancy, and it is difficult to imagine the color just by looking at the name.
I got the color of the Icelandic illusion in my hand. It is theoretically white but will show pale gold and pink purple under different light. Although I felt a bit fancy at first, I later found that it was actually more than expected Looks good.
As for the system part, the Magic UI that the Honor series is carrying now is essentially the EMUI skinning, which is used on the Honor V30 series.The loaded Magic UI 3.0 (specifically 3.0.1) is consistent with EMUI10 in most of its functions.
Obviously the earliest Magic Live system has been unable to return since last year ’s Magic UI 2.0, but now with the better and better of EMUI10, Magic UI can also enjoy more benefits, such as return Desktop icon track, I have seen dozens of posts in more than a month to praise this.
So the new features of EMUI10 in August this year, the Honor V30 series has also caught up with the fastest. Features such as dark mode, Link Turbo network aggregation, PC co-working, scrolling translation, etc. are all experienced on the V30 series.
Unfortunately, the knuckle screen capture function that many people like is not found in Magic UI.
The Honor V30 series is a very accurate basket
The positioning of the Honor V30 series is very clear, especially for the V30 Pro machine, you can think of it as a more affordable option when the budget is not enough to buy the Mate series.
To make this “second choice”, it is necessary to have its core capabilities. Honor brings the complete Kirin 990 5G and IMX600 RYYB CMOS on the V30 Pro. This ensures that the Honor V30 Pro is guaranteed in its core capabilities. In addition, even the V30 is equipped with dual-mode 5G as standard, which can be said to be quite radical.
The compromise is also obvious. In order to open up the gap with the Mate series, the V30 series is completely “pragmatic” in terms of appearance design. It also means that the user has more choices. Not everyone is cold about the design of the Mate series, and there are also considerations for 5G support.
I feel that the Honor V30 series is really a very accurate basket. Everything does not exceed the expected boundaries. Its functional selling point does not exceed the Mate30 series. For example, it does not have 90Hz. In addition to power saving, there may be meanings that do not entangle people.
Of course, with a more level positioning, it is also facing the heavy task of how to promote 5G in the early stage. If it can pull off the dislocation in the market, its mission will be achieved.
