Chinese Huawei announced on Thursday its new flagship smartphone with a great screen Mate 9, as well as its luxury version of Porsche Design. Both smartphones feature dual rear cameras from Leica and a processor Kirin 960 – the world’s first, high-performance computing using ARM Cortex-A73.
Having to run the new support from two renowned German brands, Huawei and the presentation was held in Germany, in Munich. The main announcement was the Mate 9 — smartphone with a large 5.9 inch screen FullHD resolution, 4 GB RAM, 64 GB built-in storage and support microSD cards of up to 256GB.
Externally, the device is not much different from last year’s predecessor, the Mate 8, keeping the recognizable features of corporate style phablet Huawei: small frame around the screen, curved under the hand back cover. Mate 9 will be available in six colors: black, titanium grey, mystic silver, gold, mocha and porcelain white. The device weighs not too much for a 6-inch phablet: 190 grams, only 2 grams heavier than the iPhone 8 Plus. Dimensions for such a screen is also quite modest: 156,9 x 78,9 x 7.9 mm.
Stand out performance against the competition Mate 9 fails due to the new eight-core processor HiSilicon Kirin 960. More precisely, due to nuclei of its component for high — throughput cluster Cortex-A73 developed by the British ARM. These nuclei inherit the previous decision of top-end ARM Cortex-A72, and it still did not appear in any finished product. From their predecessors they are more performance (frequency up to 2.8 GHz), ability to work longer at maximum capacity without reducing frequency, higher power efficiency and record small for top-end mobile chip sizes.
In the system-on-chip Kirin United 960 4 cores Cortex-A73 frequency up to 2.4 GHz, 4 energy-efficient Cortex-A53 with a frequency up to 1.8 GHz and graphics Mali-G71 support Vulkan API (it is increasingly used by developers of mobile games) and augmented/virtual reality. The manufacturer says that while testing in 4.0 in Geekbench multi-core test equal Mate 9 devices today in the market. And on the processor are implemented, according to Huawei, some machine learning technology, over time, optimizing the operation of your smartphone and allows you to avoid the typical for all Android devices slow with time.
All this economy in Mate 9 is powered by a battery capacity of 4000 mA*h, supports a new technology fast charging SuperCharge. She promised to Huawei, will allow you to fill an empty battery at 58% for the first half of the connection memory is provided that the memory is capable of delivering 5 amps. Normally, it is hoped, will be able. For charging, use the USB-C port that supports the USB Protocol 2.0.
Dual camera system Mate 9 not like the too "two-eyed" P9 and Honor 8 in Huawei say that this is the second of its generation, and specialists Leica has taken in its development directly involved. Quote from the press release: "Dual camera second generation Leica". Apparently, the cooperation of companies and the truth has gone beyond the purchase of the Germans of the rights for placement of the fashion label. At least, used lens Leica SUMMARIT.
If P9 was used two sensors (black and white and color) the same permissions, Mate 9 resolution black-and-white increased to 20 megapixels. Theoretically, this allows you to maximize image detail, specifications maximum resolution photos Mate 9 — at 3968 2976 pixels, that is, to 11.8 MP. Even the representatives of the Huawei is talking about the "hybrid" zoom, providing a two-fold approach of the picture without loss of quality (it is very interesting to compare in practice with the iPhone 7 Plus). The camera module is equipped with system of optical stabilization and four of autofocus systems: phase, kontrastnoi, laser and depth measurements. Also, the smartphone is able to record video in 4K resolution at 30 frames per second.
in addition to the standard version Mate 9, which in Europe will sell for 699 euros, Huawei presented the award, with an impressive name Porsche Design Huawei Mate 9. The screen here is smaller (5.5 inch) but sharper (QuadHD) and more adaptable (flexible AMOLED), RAM — 6GB, HDD — 256 GB color: graphite black, price is 1395 euros. Modestly and tastefully.
Both devices out of the box running on Android with a new 7.0 version of the original graphical interface Huawei EMUI 5.0. The shell was less Intrusive and more simple. The company claims to reach 50% of the most frequently used functions, only two taps on the screen, and 90% of the functions available in three "towers".
the Russian office of Huawei say that the decision on the issue Mate 9 the domestic market is still pending. At the current exchange rate of the device is unlikely to sell less than 60 000, which obviously will not contribute to excessive demand. Of course, for the brave there are still AliExpress, where the apparatus without paying customs fees (and without any official warranty) surely you can buy cheaper.
