After the iPhone13 series was released, I immediately ordered an iPhone13Pro and iPhone13 Pro max. I have always used iPhone13Pro as my main machine, and iPhone13 Pro max for my wife. Recently, on a whim, I wanted to experience Apple’s super large cup, so I exchanged it with my wife and used the iPhone13 Pro max and my Huawei mate40Pro as dual main machines.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t try it. I was shocked when I tried it. Originally, I thought that the screen sizes of iPhone13 Pro max and Huawei mate40Pro were similar, and they were both top-level flagship models. There shouldn’t be much difference in the use experience, but after using it, More than half a month later, I have a lot to say to you. Next, I will tell you my true feelings one by one.
iPhone13 Pro max continues the right-angled frame design of the previous generation. The whole machine looks relatively tough and gives people a very stable feeling. Its screen size is 6.7 inches and the body size is 160.8x78. 1x7.65mm, weighing 238g, coupled with the square appearance design, it is extremely bulky in the hand. The right-angled frame has a very obvious angular feel, which is not very good in the hand. For those with small hands, it is suitable for one-handed use. Holding has become a luxury. Even if you have big hands, if you hold it with one hand for a long time, the supporting little finger will hurt a lot and your wrist will be very uncomfortable. It is better to hold it with both hands.
Huawei mate40Pro adopts a large curved waterfall screen design. The whole machine looks more fashionable. The star ring design of the rear camera module adds a touch of youthfulness to this phone. Its screen size is 6.67 inches, the body size is 162.9x75.5x9.1mm, and the weight is 212g. Although it is slightly 1.45mm thicker than the iPhone13 Pro max, it is 26g lighter. Don’t underestimate this 26g. It feels very good in your hand. Obviously, in addition, thanks to the curved screen design and narrow body, the mate40Pro does not have the uncomfortable feeling of the iPhone13 Pro max, and is very comfortable to hold in the hand.
There is actually not much to say about Apple’s A-series processors. It has always been an instant killer and is at least two years ahead of the Android camp. iPhone13 Pro max is equipped with Apple’s most powerful A15 processor. Daily use is very smooth, but the heat dissipation of the iPhone13 Pro max is as painful as ever. When we play games, overheating often causes clarity loss, frame drops, and even freezes. The power of the A15 cannot be fully utilized.
Mate40Pro is equipped with Huawei’s self-developed Kirin 9000 5G processor, which uses a 5nm process technology. Unlike Qualcomm Snapdragon 888, which also uses a 5nm process, Kirin 9000 5G has better heat control. , the performance is relatively stable. Both Honor of Kings and Peace Elite can run stably with the highest picture quality and highest frame rate, and there will be no particularly large fluctuations. Although Huawei's Kirin 9000 5G is significantly weaker than Apple's in terms of parameter data. A15, but the difference in actual use experience is not that big.
In addition to the A-series processors, Apple’s two magic weapons are the ios operating system. In terms of smoothness and user experience, ios must be the fastest-selling operating system, especially the iPhone and its own airpods. Currently, no one can match the ecological linkage between iPads, Macs and other products.
Mate40Pro runs Huawei’s self-developed Hongmeng OS 2.0 system. This system is obviously much better than the previous EMUI in terms of fluency and can compete with iOS. However, as a system that was only launched this year There is still a big gap between the released mobile operating system and its App ecology compared with Apple. However, as an operating system designed for the Internet of Everything, its biggest advantage is also its ecology. It can not only compete with its own FreeBuds headphones, Mate Smart products such as pads and matebooks are well interconnected and can interact well with our commonly used Windows operating system, especially the one-touch transmission and multi-screen interaction. Once you use them, you will never go back. Generally speaking, ios and Hongmeng OS2.0 systems have their own merits. At this stage, ios is still better. As for the future of Hongmeng OS, it is more worth looking forward to.
The signal problem of the iPhone has been the most complained about in recent years. This time Apple equipped the iPhone13 Pro max with Qualcomm’s latest X60 baseband, and redesigned the antenna inside the fuselage. Let’s take a look at it. Its signal performance is expected to be abnormal. However, reality and imagination are completely different. The signal performance of iPhone13 Pro max has not been greatly improved. Of course, it does not affect the use under normal circumstances. It is mainly due to some signal comparisons. The weak signal performance is not very good, and the signal recovery is relatively slow after moving from a weak signal place to a strong signal place.
Looking back at Huawei mate40Pro, signal has never been a problem for Huawei mobile phones. In fact, compared to making mobile phones, communication is Huawei’s strength, especially their 5G technology, which has now been achieved Huawei is the world leader and has the most important patents. It is far ahead of international giants such as Nokia and Ericsson. From baseband, chips to mobile phone terminals, Huawei has its own complete industrial chain. They are very knowledgeable about how to optimize mobile phone signals. During use, we often find that the performance of two mobile phones using the same operator's mobile phone number is very different. Many times, the iPhone13 Pro max has no signal, but the Huawei mate40Pro can still make calls and surf the Internet, but the network The speed will be much slower. When you walk out of the elevator or get off the plane and turn on your phone, the Huawei mate40Pro signal often recovers faster.
The previous iPhone has always been the benchmark in the industry in terms of photography. When major mobile phone manufacturers release new phones, they will not benchmark the photography of their mobile phone products with the iPhone. As major mobile phone manufacturers With the efforts of Android manufacturers in taking pictures, the iPhone has lost its former advantage. In this Android field, it often starts with 50 or 60 million pixels, and has even reached the era of 100 million pixels. The iPhone 13 Pro max still remains unchanged for thousands of years. 12 million pixels.
Here we are not saying that iPhone13 Pro max is completely useless in taking pictures. In normal shooting scenarios, iPhone13 Pro max performs very well, especially after turning on HDR, the photos taken are still very high quality. , but since the pixels are only 12 million, the disadvantage becomes obvious when shooting distant views or enlarging the picture. In addition, because the shooting style of iPhone13 Pro max is closer to reality, the photos taken are not so eye-catching, but in fact, daily life For use, the 12 million pixels of iPhone13 Pro max are enough. After all, not many people are willing to use their mobile phones as telescopes, and the finished film is clear enough even when printed.
The video shooting capabilities of iPhone13 Pro max should currently be the strongest in the field of mobile phones. Not only does the video captured have high definition and stability, but the sound is also very good, making it relatively more professional. , the newly added "movie effect mode" can intelligently track changes in focus in the picture, and at the same time automatically blur the scene outside the focus, allowing us to shoot blockbusters like movies even if we have not learned photography.
Huawei Mate40Pro’s camera capabilities are relatively stronger. From a hardware perspective, Huawei’s main camera is a 50-megapixel super-sensing lens, and its two auxiliary lenses are a 20-megapixel movie camera and The 12-megapixel periscope telephoto camera can support 5x optical zoom, 10x hybrid zoom and 50x digital zoom. It is no problem when used as a telescope. The overall hardware parameters are higher than those of the iPhone13 Pro max. Coupled with Leica's professional adjustments, Mate40Pro's photography capabilities have become the best in the industry.
If you take pictures normally during the day, the quality of the pictures will be comparable to that of Apple. However, thanks to the higher pixels, when taking long shots and enlarging pictures, it will be obviously clearer. At night, the light is not very good. Next, Huawei Mate40Pro can be said to be at the night vision level. Although the iPhone13 Pro max is not bad at realizing it, there is still a gap. However, one thing that needs to be pointed out is that the photos taken by Huawei Mate40Pro do not look as good as the ones taken by Huawei Mate40Pro due to the addition of some beautification. iPhone13 Pro max is real, but more eye-catching.
In order to shoot videos well, Huawei Mate40Pro is equipped with a movie camera and is equipped with the industry's top XD Fusion hardware real-time video HDR capability, even when shooting extreme high-dynamic scenes such as backlit windows and dazzling shopping malls. It also has very good performance, and the front and rear cameras can shoot together, and the playability is obviously better. However, in terms of radio reception and overall performance, it is still far away from the iPhone 13 Pro max. I believe that through continuous optimization, It won’t be long before Huawei’s video shooting capabilities will surely catch up with Apple’s.
iPhone13 Pro max adopts a pure straight screen design, with a screen resolution of 2778*1284, a maximum peak brightness of over 1000nit, and support for ProMotion 120Hz high brush. The supplier is Samsung, and the well-known evaluation agency DXOMARK gave it a It received a high score of 99 points and rated the screen performance as stunning.
The screen resolution of Huawei Mate40Pro is 2772*1344, and the suppliers are BOE and LG. BOE screens mostly adopt the much-criticized "Zhou Dongyu arrangement". Due to the use of a waterfall screen with a large curvature, the screen There will inevitably be green edges on both sides. It supports a 90Hz refresh rate and the peak brightness is about 800nit. The overall performance is very average, and there may even be some color casts. Of course, if you have average screen sensitivity, If you can't tell the difference between a good screen and an average screen, you can ignore this one.
iPhone13 Pro max is equipped with the largest battery in the history of iPhone, with a capacity of 4352mAh. Although it does not look very big, with Apple’s software and hardware adjustments, the battery life is very good, and it is enough for a day of heavy use. It can be used, but its maximum wired charging power is only 27W, MagSafe magnetic charging power is 15W, and wireless charging power is only 7.5W. Now it can only be regarded as slow charging.
Huawei Mate40Pro is equipped with a 4400mAh battery and has good battery life. However, its charging power reaches 66W and its wireless charging power reaches 50W. It is an overwhelming advantage over the iPhone13 Pro max.
After about 15 days of use experience, I really feel that switching mobile phones with my wife is a fool. Although there are some problems with iPhone13 Pro max, iPhone13 Pro also has them, but after all, iPhone13 Pro is small and relatively small. It's lighter and less stressful to use with one hand. In addition, Huawei mate40Pro is already very good in terms of appearance, performance, feel and photography. Coupled with the blessing of Hongmeng operating system, the smoothness and stability are not inferior to iPhone13 Pro max. Overall, the user experience of Huawei mate40Pro is better. , so I decided to continue using Huawei mate40Pro as my main phone and return iPhone13 Pro max to my wife.
