Huawei Mate 40 Pro Unboxing - What’s New? By C4ETech

Thanks for being put on the entity list by Donald Trump Huawei is not allowed to use. Google Play Services, and that is a huge blow to away in almost every market, barring china. Now, how has Huawei tried to compensate for this handicap? Let's find out in today's video? Hey guys ash here from c4etech and if you do end up liking. What you see here subscribe turn on notifications by hitting that bell icon. Let's now get started, so this here is the mate 40 pro's box co-engineered with Lacey the ring there to the top indicates the design language the space ring we'll get to it in a bit. The sites are pretty much your traditional affair.

Nothing sticks out. This is the a256 variant. Let's open up the box, we are greeted by the mate 40 pro removing the plastic. That's the space ring it's a little different from what Huawei went with on the mate 30 pro, but now, let's peel the screen protector off, and before we get to the May 40 pro. Let's take a quick look at the other box contents.

This black insert houses a sim ejector tool, soft case, which is a positive since I'm sure you'd have already noticed the fingerprints that the mate 40 pro started to pick up. Next, we have an USB type-c, cable and that's followed by the AirPods. Okay, not really, but hey apple does not include them in the box anymore and Huawei does, and I think that's a joke somewhere uh in there, but anyways uh. Moving on, we have a supercharger. This is 66 watts, one watt over competing tech from the likes of Oppo and OnePlus.

So that's pretty much it for the box contents. The mate 40 pro is an absolutely gorgeous phone Huawei's done very well with the build. We have a glass sandwich design with a metal frame, this here's, the space wing, and it houses the cameras. Well, it's true that this is a camera bump. The ring design ensures that the phone doesn't rock when put on a table, and it still remains easy to type on the mate.40 pro retains the ip68 water and dust resistance, which has become a must-have for a proper full-fledged flagship. These days now, the back here has a mirror-like finish glossy, so it is prone to fingerprints and smudges the silver variant.

On the other hand, it has a matte finish, that's the one I actually prefer, but the mate 40 pro it's also available in more flamboyant colors, but those are limited to China now, no matter which color you end up. Getting this phone feels very slick in hand, which is quite surprising since it's neither slim nor light how Huawei's managed to do this is by curving the phone at the edges. We have a 3d glass back uh, it's curving on all four sides. The front has a steep 88 degree curves. This means the frame is so thin at the sides, which gives us an illusion of super sleekness.

In fact, the metal side is so thin that Huawei had to make it a little larger around the power and volume keys to accommodate them. And yes, the volume rockers are back. But if you are one of the few who've gotten used to the mate 30 pro way of doing things, the virtual volume keys, they still work, you can double tap and adjust the volume, so the power and volume keys are present to the right. Secondary mic. Ir blaster and secondary speaker are up top there's nothing to the left, again notice, the thin metal strip.

Here to the bottom. We have a sim tray, type c port, primary mic and the primary speaker now the speakers they are pretty loud and, unlike with some phones, the stereo output doesn't seem lopsided. Both speakers seem to fire equally. Well, the sim tray. It's got support for two sim cards or one sim and a NATO memory card.

Now, that's Huawei's proprietary memory, expansion, option Huawei also lets us choose between a physical and d sim for the second sum option. So technically you can go simply see some plus NATO memory if you so desire now coming back to the sleekness another reason for it, the wow factor here, it's the display. This is a 6.76 inch OLED panel, where we called it horizon display. Its resolution is irregular, but it's almost quad HD, so it's quite crisp with a pixel density of over 450 pixels per inch. The colors are great.

This panel supports hdr10, so it does have the capability to get super bright, and that means outdoor legibility. It's a non-issue being an OLED panel. The fingerprint scanner is located under the display. It's pretty responsive, just like the other biometric option. Face unlock talking about which this OLED panel has quite a large build shaped cutout to the top left.

That's because there are two cameras here: first, a 13 megapixel camera. It's got different degree choices for field of view field of view. The secondary is a 3d depth sensor which helps with that quick face unlock, amongst other things. By the way the primary camera can do.240 fps slow motion- I mean I've been growing, my hair and I just wanna I just like doing that slow motion shot, which is why I include it, I'm just being honest guys admitting to it owning up to it now. On top of all of this, this display has a 90 hertz, refresh rate and 240 hertz touch sampling, so playing those high refresh rate games on this fast refresh panel with vivid colors and stereo speakers.

It's a great experience given Huawei is also delivered on the spec front. The Karin 9000 is the chip here, and it's Huawei's best chip. Yet, but that's not really saying anything right, everybody wants to say best chip yet best phone. Yet, but it's your latest flagship, so it has to be the best, but there is something special with the Karin 9000 it's great, but at the same time it's also heartbreaking. Let me explain: usually Huawei's Karin chips might match their Qualcomm counterparts with CPU performance, but the GPU performance does take a hit.

They usually aren't as powerful as the arena alternative. But this time the k9000 outdoes the snapdragon 865 plus with CPU, which wasn't very surprising. We kind of did expect that, but it also matches the snapdragon 865 pluses at Reno 650 with GPU performance, so Huawei seems to have finally caught up with Qualcomm and might even have their noses ahead and that's heartbreaking in a way being on the entity list. There are reports of Huawei not being able to source the necessary components for future chips and for a brand that went from utterly crappy socs being compared with the media techs to not claw their way up the ladder only to have conditions behind beyond their control screw up all that good work. As a tech enthusiast, I can't help but feel for Huawei now.

Huawei's problems are not just with the future. They have problems in the now right now today, and that is the lack of google services. Our smartphone lives are so entwined with Google services, even more so than we realize now it becomes very hard for us not to not use Google, I'm someone who uses a ton of phones but with the mate 40 pro. My first question was: how do I transfer contacts here without Google's contact? Sync now guys remember: pre android a few years back, we've all done it many times export contacts, import contacts- it just takes a few minutes, but even something as simple as this. It took me a while to realize because, like most of us, I've grown so accustomed to Google's way of doing things now, one way for their part, they've been investing heavily in app gallery.

It is home to a lot of apps you'd use in your day-to-day. We also have pedal search which pools and APKs and, of course we can access third-party app stores, but when downloading APKs you need to be a little more careful than what you would while using the play store for what it's worth Huawei does. Can the APKs you install the user experience barring the lack of Google Play Services seems excellent.8 gigs of ram 256 gigs of UFS 2, 3.1 storage, mew 11 here is very responsive. Huawei offers some unique functionality too. For starters, they have something called ice on display.

So, basically, whenever you look at the phone, you see an animation play as if the 4d pro is responding to you, and then it displays information. Similarly, look at the phone while it's ringing and the volume drops and finally the phone doesn't go to sleep as long as it has your attention. In the time I spent with this phone zone display worked really well. Next, we have recessable windows with multi-window. This lets you change the size of the window, minimize it have it float on screen and even access all the different windows that you have open with a swipe from the right.

Well, these are all nice to haves most of the software breakthroughs. They have been camera centric, the camera hardware. Here it remains formidable as ever a 50 megapixel primary sensor with Rob instead of the regular RGB setup. This is supposed to be helping improve low light performance and the low light shots. They are quite spectacular at first glance, not surprising, given the huge one by 1.28 inch sensor here now, given the number of features Huawei has packed into this camera, this optical setup, I'm gonna, have more to say in my in-depth video that I'll be following up with soon. For now this prime, this is the primary that's paired with the f 1.9 lens. The secondary is a 20, megapixel, f 1.8 ultra-wide. This matches the colors of the primary camera quite well and is also the one tasked with super stable video.

The third sensor is 12 megapixels paired with the telephoto lens, which makes for 5x optical zoom. This lens is stabilized and go all the way up to 50x. Now 50x is pushing it.10X hybrid seems to you know it seems to have very good detail very little loss now. This is something I really respect where, unlike other brands, who call 50x as hybrid zoom, technically a test, because there's a bit of optical and a bit of digital, a lot of digital Huawei just calls their 10x zoom as hybrid, which is almost lossless, and they call 50x as digital. So you know good job go away.

Next, we have a color temperature sensor, along with the laser assessed for autofocus on the battery front, the mate 40 pro sports, a 4 400 William battery with support for 66 watt, fast charging and 50 watt wireless fast charging, so that is the mate 40 pro the. If this phone actually had Google services I'd most definitely consider using this. As my primary, I think that's going to be the case for a lot of people, it's a very, very strong offering from Huawei class leading internals, 5g and excellent display brilliant cameras, pretty solid software. It's just sad that the main con here is not something Huawei can address anyway. That's pretty much it for this unboxing of you guys tell me what you think about the mate 40 pro also do.

Let me know if you are interested in an iPhone 12 versus mate.40, pro camera comparison, if you are I'll, try to get one done asap, so that's pretty much it thumbs up thumbs down based on whatever you felt about this video subscribe turn on notifications by hitting that bell icon. If you haven't yet, and thanks a lot for watching till next time, my name is ash. You've been watching c4e tech, and I'm signing off. For now. You guys have a great day bye.
