HUAWEI launches the Mate 80 Pro alongside the vanilla Mate 80, which shares a lot of similarities.
For today, we’ll be focusing on the HUAWEI Mate 80 Pro. It has a more powerful Kirin 9030 (Kirin 9030 Pro for the 16GB) processor, while the non-Pro has a Kirin 9020. It also has a faster 100W wired and 50W wireless charging, while the Mate 80 only has 66W and 50W, respectively.
They also differ in the camera setup. The Pro model has a 48-megapixel telephoto camera that offers 4x zoom. However, the main and ultra-wide cameras are the same on the Mate 40.
There’s the 50-megapixel main shooter with a 1/1.28-inch RYYB sensor and variable aperture of f/1.4-f/4.0. We also have a 40-megapixel ultra-wide lens. A 13-megapixel sensor is on the front for selfies.
Both phones have the same 6.75-inch LTPO OLED screen with a 2.8K resolution, 1-120Hz adaptive refresh rate, 1440Hz PWM dimming, and 300Hz touch sampling rate. They also boasts a whopping 8,000 nits of peak brightness.
They both run on HarmonyOS 6, have the 2nd-gen Red Maple, and will have a bunch of AI features. Both phones also have the same 5,750mAh batteries.
The HUAWEI Mate 80 Pro is now in China with a price of CNY5,999 (~Php49,700) for the 12GB/256GB, CNY6,499 (~Php53,800) for the 12GB/512GB, and CNY6,999 (~Php57,900) for the 16GB/512GB, and CNY7,999 (~Php66,200) for the 16GB/1TB.
