Are Huawei phones really as good as Apple’s?

I have been exposed to many questions about which mobile phone is better or which mobile phone number is better than that one. Now I will answer this less rigorous question!

First, let’s redefine the question! That is which phone is better, Huawei’s flagship phone or the contemporary iPhone! Because Apple’s product positioning has always been at the flagship level, there aren’t that many market segments! Since comparison requires a comparison object, let’s compare the two companies’ annual flagship models Huawei Mate 20Pro and iPhone Xs in 2018 to answer this question from this positioning and perspective!

As the most important option of a mobile phone and the one that most affects users’ desire to purchase, let’s compare the appearance first!

The front of Huawei Mate 20 Pro adopts a double-sided curved screen design with bangs. From the look and feel, Huawei Mate 20 Pro is really beautiful! The back is designed with a 3D curved glass back cover. The overall design of the back echoes the front design, ensuring both the feel and the look and feel!

The appearance of the iPhone It is a rounded rectangle! Everything is exactly the same as iPhone X, but the design is still very good!

If you have to make a choice between the two models in terms of appearance, then there is no doubt! Huawei Mate 20 Pro wins!

The second most important thing about mobile phones is configuration! Both models are the flagships of their respective product families, so there won’t be much difference in configuration between the two models!

Judging from the configuration table, the configuration level of both is flagship level, and the use experience is also flagship level! Among them, Huawei’s screen size is larger, the screen PPI is higher, the resolution is higher, and the battery is larger. I believe the flight quality will not be bad! The iPhone Xs is not as good as the Huawei Mate 20 Pro in these aspects! In terms of taking pictures, Huawei Mate 20 Pro is almost invincible in the industry. With the addition of intelligent AI recognition scenes, the effect of the photos taken has indeed been improved! The other thing is fast charging. This configuration is really easy to use. The 40W fast charging experience is really unbeatable!

Finally, let’s talk about the heart of the mobile phone! The processor is the core part of a mobile phone. The HiSilicon Kirin 980 equipped on Huawei Mate 20 pro and the A12 processor equipped on iPhone Xs are both the world's leading 7nm process technology chips. So which one of the two has better performance?

To be fair, you can look at the picture above for the specific comparison process. You can actually compare which one is better, A12 or Kirin 980, without running scores. A12 is the most powerful mobile phone processor in the world today. The best processor out there! So in the processor performance comparison session, the A12 of iPhone Xs wins!

Many people are still stuck in the Android 5.0 era. Huawei's application opening speed, system response speed, and system stability have been greatly improved compared to the previous Android system! But compared to iOS, although the application startup speed is faster, the overall experience is still a little less smooth. However, in some functional aspects, Huawei Mate 20 Pro is better, and the system is more localized!

Now that the two models have reached the final question, how will the prices of the two models perform?

iPhone The richness of the configuration is obviously better than that of the iPhone, and the iPhone Xs has obvious advantages in terms of system experience and performance! In terms of mobile phone lifespan, under normal usage habits, the lifespan of an iPhone is one longer than that of an Android phone.

The final conclusion is as follows: Huawei Mate 20Pro looks better and has richer configurations and relatively localized system functions. iPhone Xs has strong performance and an excellent system experience. If your phone usage habit is to like freshness, and you can accept changing your phone in 2 years, then Huawei Mate 20Pro is a good choice. If you want to use an iPhone and the time between replacements is relatively long! Then iPhone Xs is a good choice.

Today’s mobile phone reviews are no longer good or bad! Because the mobile phones made by each company are relatively good! It all depends on personal needs. The best phone is the one that suits you!

Huawei mobile phones have achieved good results domestically and even around the world. This year, they shipped more than 200 million units, surpassing Apple and becoming the second largest mobile phone manufacturer in the world. So Huawei mobile phones are really following Is Apple on the same level?

You must know that Huawei’s 200 million mobile phones are the result of dozens of mobile phones from the two brands of Honor and Huawei, while Apple only added an XR series this year. This year, Huawei has released several models of Nova, Maimang, and low-end Changxiang series, and the mate series has added a mate20X. Honor resurrected the note large screen, added Honor Play, and also promoted Honor 8X to the mid-range for key publicity. Under such a large-scale mobile phone strategy, Huawei has achieved such results with great difficulty. On the one hand, it shows It’s not easy for Huawei. On the other hand, it also shows that the apple tree has large roots and deep roots.

As for whether Huawei phones are as good as Apple phones, as the questioner asked, does it refer to quality or experience, or both. Because Apple both produces flagship phones, while Huawei has mid-range, high-end and low-end phones, let’s compare the two current phones, the iPhone More rounded, as for the workmanship, there are pros and cons.

In terms of appearance alone, mate20Pro has great advantages. After all, the appearance of Apple mobile phones has been criticized. In other respects, mate20Pro’s Leica triple camera is also a major advantage. It ranks first in DXO, which is nothing. Easy to say. When it comes to Apple, we have to talk about the entire integrated system of the iPhone. The smoothness of the iPhone relies on the powerful A12 chip, IOS system and separate software applications. I won’t say more about the A12. In terms of single-core capability, it can beat any processor, and the GPU is also very powerful. However, the Intel baseband effect of the A12 is average. This is the advantage of the Huawei HiSilicon 980. In addition, the AI ????NPU980 is already Dual core.

There is nothing to say about the system. The advantage of Android is that it is open and free, while IOS is closed-loop and smooth. Each has its own advantages. If you are purely pursuing a smooth experience, Apple will definitely have the advantage.

In general, Huawei’s mobile phones are already very powerful, but Apple’s traditional advantages are still there. Limited by platforms, chips, and the layout of mobile phones, I think Huawei should regard Samsung as its opponent. After all, Apple It is the enemy of all Androids, and Samsung is the enemy of all Androids. Apple’s current advantages cannot be replaced, and it can only work hard elsewhere.

I am Xiansen, an attentive digital control, a free and pure technology fan. Welcome all old friends to discuss and communicate together and make progress together.

Will you be criticized if you say Huawei phones are bad?

First of all, we must acknowledge Huawei's progress over the years. Objectively speaking, Huawei is indeed better than Apple in many of its own hardware parts, such as communication basebands and camera systems after cooperation with Leica. All have to be admitted. But as far as the current smartphone experience is concerned, no matter which product is in the Android camp, there is still an irreparable gap with Apple.

So where is this gap?

First of all, we have to talk about the system. It is true that after Android 6.0, the system environment and purity are much better than before. However, the problems of Android open source and serious fragmentation cannot be solved simply by relying on iteration. This is inherent .

Of course, for many users, they sometimes accept the existence of this kind of problem when they choose Android, but also for some users who usually don’t study software and hardware that much, lags, crashes, and various malicious forced installations, Mandatory delegation makes people miserable.

Of course, what’s more serious is that because of the issue of open source, too many manufacturers use the Android system, which causes third-party APPs to adapt to many devices during development, so there will inevitably be compromises. This is why Android or The manufacturer's software is easy to use, but there is a big gap between many third-party applications and IOS. Just ask any product development team about this, and they will tell you that the APP experience of IOS is definitely better than that of Android. Of course, this is not Huawei’s fault, but Android’s fault. After all, the experience of each product is slightly different, and the overall difference is much different.

Let’s talk about industrial design and processing

When the iPhone Various manufacturers are copying it. It can be said that if Apple stops making mobile phones one day, many manufacturers will not know whether they will stop making mobile phones. Huawei really has nothing to do with this problem.

Let’s talk about the processing issue. Apple is the only one in the world that can have full say over every company in the supply chain. Although it doesn’t sound good, most domestic manufacturers can only rely on others to supply them. They use whatever the chain companies give them, and they are more interested in researching how to put other people’s hardware into their own mobile phones in a reasonable way.

Many people say that Apple does not produce chips, but Apple’s chips are all developed by itself and have complete intellectual property rights. In this regard, I don’t want to complain about Huawei. After all, they also claim to be Kirin chips. It is self-developed, but if you ask a few people in the industry, you will know what the Kirin 980 is all about.

Of course, there is nothing to say about the processing technology itself. After all, domestic Android manufacturers do not even have the ability to dominate the supply chain, let alone the processing details like Apple. Back then, Lao Luo and Wang Ziru had a heated exchange of words. They said that Wang Ziru used defective and scrap parts taken from the Apple factory in Huaqiangbei to repair his mobile phone. Wang Ziru was speechless because many accessories were sold even at Apple. Even though it is considered a defective product, it is enough for other manufacturers to circulate it as a superior product in the market. This is the gap.

Finally, let’s talk about why many people think Huawei is better.

In terms of cost performance, even if Huawei sells it for 6,000 yuan, it is still more cost effective than Apple.

But if you are an intensive user of mobile phones, you may get the opposite result.

As far as ordinary users are concerned, the main functions of most mobile phones are making phone calls, WeChat, Alipay, Taobao, reading news, listening to music, taking photos, posting on Weibo, watching videos, etc. These functions can run smoothly on Huawei phones and even other domestic Android phones, and because they are all products of large companies, both design and optimization have reached a very high level, no worse than IOS apps.

But for users who almost only use these functions, there is no need to buy Mate 20 Pro. Ordinary mobile phones around 3000 can do the job, but the Mate20 series just takes better pictures.

In this environment, the iPhone’s current price of around 10,000 yuan is indeed too expensive.

But on the other hand, Apple’s advantages are often reflected in these commonly used apps. A mobile phone can use more than 10 apps with the current level of Android optimization, and of course it will not be stuck. But Apple’s advantage is that because it is not open source and has a strict review process, some apps that are not easy to use on the Android system can also be used on Apple. At the same time, as long as there is enough memory, a large number of apps can be stored, and even several apps can be opened at the same time. Ten apps are hanging in the background. To be honest, there is still a huge gap between Android and Apple in this heavy use method. In this regard, the same goes for Huawei.

It can be said that the biggest gap between Huawei and Apple is still at the system level. The key is that this is the most difficult barrier for Huawei to cross. Even if Huawei has the ability to develop its own systems, it is almost impossible to build an ecosystem at the moment. forming.

After all, no company is willing to pay huge development costs for Huawei alone. Just like the original cause of Windows Phone's lonely death, it was not that the phone was not easy to use or that the system had no future, but that the ecological environment could not be established at all.

Different, not the same at all! Comparing Huawei with Apple, Huawei is much better than Apple
