JAKARTA - Huawei officially introduced the Mate 80 series in China, with Mate 80 Pro Max appearing as the most premium model. This smartphone brings a variety of important innovations that emphasize Huawei's position as one of the most ambitious mobile phone manufacturers in the market. ranging from full metal body design, industry's first two-layer screen technology, to an increasingly complete satellite communication system.
Mate 80 Pro Max comes with a full metal body combined with a second-generation Kunlun Glass protective glass. Huawei claims that the combination of this material increases the resistance to fall by 20 times, increases the durability to the score by 20 percent, and doubles the resistance to the scratch compared to the first generation. This phone has also pocketed IP68 and IP69 certifications, making it resistant to water and dust for use in extreme conditions.
One of the biggest innovations offered is the 6.9-inch dual-layer OLED' screen. This two-layer panel technology allows the screen to reach a peak brightness level of up to 8000 nits, making it one of the brightest screens in the current smartphone industry.
Huawei calls this new screen structure not only brighter, but also more efficient and offers a much better visual contrast. The screen also supports a 120Hz refresh rate, 10-bit color gamut, 1440Hz PWM dimming, and a 300Hz touch response.
On the front, the entire Mate 80 family is equipped with a more complete 3D ToF biometric system. This technology combines transmitters and depth receivers, as well as a 13MP front camera designed in the concept of AI posture-aware'. Huawei claims the system is able to recognize the face more accurately and is able to map the user's body movements more accurately.
In terms of performance, Mate 80 Pro Max relies on the Kirin 9030 Pro chipset combined with the Ark Graphics Engine graphics engine. According to Huawei, this phone offers a 45 percent smoother usage experience than the Mate 70 Pro Max, while the speed of opening the app is up to 34 percent.
The phone also supports 3DGS rendering acceleration and hardware-based ray tracing technology capable of processing up to 20 million beams per second, providing a major improvement in gaming experiences, video rendering, and graphic animations.
In terms of connectivity, Huawei calls Mate 80 Pro Max the most complete communication system integration they have ever created. In addition to cellular networks and Wi-Fi 7 Plus, this phone supports Tiantong satellite communication for emergency calls and messages, as well as Beidou's two-way messaging system.
The 700MHz emergency communication feature allows the device to still be usable even though there is no mobile network around it. it can even maintain a connection up to a distance of 13 kilometers and penetrate three layers of the wall.
For the camera sector, Huawei presents a second-generation Maple Leaf imaging system. The system uses a 50MP RYYB main sensor measuring 1/1.28 inches with a 10-level variable opening ranging from f/1.4 to f/4.0. Huawei claims a massive increase of 96 percent in total captureable light, while the dynamic range increases to 300 percent thanks to the dual-real-time fusion system.
The main camera is accompanied by a 40MP ultrawide camera, a 50MP macro tele camera with 4x optical zoom, and a 50MP periscope camera with 6.2x optical zoom that can reach up to 12.4x optical quality. The combination presents the flexibility of professional class shootings in various conditions.
Mate 80 Pro
In addition to the Mate 80 Pro Max, Huawei also introduced Mate 80 and Mate 80 Pro. Both models appear with almost similar designs, including the use of metal bodies and a two-big camera module on the back.
The back layer uses nylon material, while the Mate 80 frame uses aluminumbulge and Mate 80 Pro comes with finishing glossy. Both are offered in four colors: Obsidian Black, Snow White, Dawn Gold, and Spruce Green.
Mate 80 is powered by the Kirin 9020 chipset, while the Mate 80 Pro is equipped with a completely new Kirin 9030. However, Huawei claims both models offer up to 35 percent performance improvement over its predecessor, Mate 70.
The highest variant of Mate 80 Pro with 16GB RAM uses the Kirin 9030 Pro chip which is claimed to be 42 percent faster than last year's Huawei flagship. Both Mate 80 and Mate 80 Pro support Tiantong satellite communications and Beidou messages, as well as 700MHz emergency communication technology.
On the screen, both models use a 6.75-inch OLED panel with a resolution of 2832\times1280 and an adaptive refresh rate of 1120Hz. Both also support PWM dimming 1440Hz, touch sampling 300Hz, and are protected by the second generation Kunlun Glass. The fingerprint scanner system is placed on the side of the device.
