Although everyone is talking about the camera of Mate30 Pro, this time I would like to share the experience of daily use, such as 88-degree curved screen, hand feel, power, games, etc., especially this curved screen, I I think many people will look at the word "curved screen" with doubts for the first time. For example, they are worried about accidental touches, or they don't know whether the curved surface is a gimmick or a practical use. Don't worry, the experience was great.

design, screen

The appearance of Mate30 Pro is very recognizable. The first one of BQ27530YZFT-G1 is that it folds the side screen down to form an 88-degree curved screen. Beauty is tired. Second, the cameras arranged in a square design on the back and the peripheral ring are obviously iconic. The Mate30 Pro can meet the needs of those who like the appearance of a mobile phone that is different.

The shell attached to the package also makes the outer ring of the camera transparent, which can reveal the light ring of the outer ring of the camera, which is also a careful machine. In the past, the Mate series was more stable and rigid in appearance due to the orientation of business professionals, but the design of the Mate30 Pro has many curved lines, popular colors, and emphasis on the camera, and the style has begun to be different.

The role of the 88-degree curved side screen and the boundless vision

When it comes to curved screens and boundless vision, many people think of Samsung mobile phones. The Galaxy Note10+ uses a very narrow border and a curved screen to make the whole screen feel full. The curvature of the Mate30 Pro is more obvious than that of the Note10+, which makes the Mate30 The side screen of the Pro can display some pictures (although you don’t particularly look here), so the picture feels more out of the frame and the chin is still a little wider than that of the Note10+.

But whether the video can be pulled to the full version depends on whether the app supports it or not. Maybe the boundless screen of the game will be more enjoyable than watching the video.

Because there are not many screens with such a surround feeling, it will be very impressive to upgrade from an old Huawei phone.

The feel of the curved screen, will it be accidentally touched? It should be the question that everyone immediately thinks of.

Let’s talk about the feel first. The proportion of Mate30 Pro is narrow and long, and the hand does not need to be held open. In addition, the thickness of 8.8mm is moderate for the palm to the pocket, so the hand feel is easy, and it is not difficult to put it in the jacket pocket.

As for accidental touches, this side is also considered a screen, but only when you tap twice on the upper half, turn on the volume, or turn on the LR key in the game, will it have a touch effect, so it is usually used. There is no chance of being touched by mistake.

Mate30 Pro removes the physical volume key (but retains the power key), and turns it into two taps and then slides up and down to adjust.

If you want to adjust the volume, only tapping the upper half will work, either left or right. The same is true when you hold it horizontally. When you slide it, there will be vibration feedback to make you feel the operation. However, this virtual volume only works if you wake up the screen. When you turn off the screen and listen to music and want to adjust the volume, you have to tap twice to wake up to trigger the volume adjustment. There are many steps...

This method can be used very quickly, and the trigger sensitivity is also good, but when you open a FB or IG video on the MRT, and suddenly the volume is high, you have to click twice to turn it down, and the speed is not as fast as a direct button ( It is faster to close the program directly).

When there is a sudden call during the meeting, can you mute it immediately?

Yes, because the power button is still there, just like a normal mobile phone, just press the volume button to mute when there is an incoming call, don’t worry about the speed, or the mobile phone also provides the function of flipping to mute and picking up the volume to reduce the volume, both of which can cope with sudden changes. call.

There is another question, how can I take a screenshot without the volume keys? Don't worry, there are many ways to take screenshots without the volume keys.

1.) This time, the Mate30 Pro has a "waving in the air", which includes a screenshot gesture. Open your palm to the front camera, grab your palm and grab it to take a screenshot. After taking the same screenshot, click to open the zoom window, and you can continue to make long screenshots or annotations.

2.) In addition, EMUI has always tapped the knuckles twice to take a screenshot, which can also be used to take screenshots. (Tapping with two knuckles is a screen recording)

3.) There are also shortcut keys for screenshot and video in the drop-down menu.

There is no physical volume button in exchange for a full version of the visual, high screen ratio... etc. It is still a good design, but be careful not to drop the phone as much as possible, not afraid of facing down, or not wrapped in a protective case The side screen is on the ground.

As mentioned earlier, watching the full version of the movie is very visual, but unfortunately the sound effect experience has not kept up. The Mate30 Pro only has a single-sided speaker, which sounds quite unsatisfactory and a little unbalanced when it is played externally... (The sound of the screen only works in During calls, videos, music, games, etc. will not use the screen to sound)

However, when paired with headphones, there are also Histen sound effects that can be matched. According to the type of game or movie, you can choose different spatial sound effects. This application is very impressive when playing games. I wear headphones when playing shooting and racing games, listening to Get the feeling in all directions, play very atmosphere, it is highly recommended to use headphones a lot!

In addition to gesture sensing, the 3D depth camera in the bangs can capture subtle facial data for safer facial recognition.

High-security face recognition is not new for flagship phones. It has fast recognition, large capture angle, and can recognize all kinds of brightness... This is the basic performance. Mate30 Pro has done it, and I also noticed that Mate30 Pro Here are a few more subtle designs.

First, you can set whether to display the screen you left the last time after unlocking the face, or stop on the locked screen first, and then swipe up to enter the last screen. Isn't it the most convenient to enter the function directly, why stop on the lock screen? Maybe some people pick up the phone to see the notification on the lock screen, not directly enter the function, this setting is needed, in short, Mate30 Pro Both are for you.

The second is that you can choose whether you need to look at the screen when unlocking (open the glasses, and the eyes are facing the front lens). If it is turned off, the security is low. You can still unlock by looking at your face when you sleep, but you don’t have to turn your head to unlock it. , whether or not to cooperate with gaze unlocking depends on your security level requirements. But this does not mean that the phone is placed flat on the desktop, and the face can be recognized at a relatively oblique angle, and the face must still be within the range of the front lens.

In addition to face unlocking, the Mate30 Pro still has fingerprint recognition under the screen. The sensitivity and success rate are good, but the sensing position is quite low, and you can only use one of the face and fingerprint.

picture

The screen specifications of Mate30 Pro are roughly: 6.53 inches, OLED screen, 2400x1176/ 409ppi, DCI-P3 color gamut, support for displaying HDR video...etc.

At the time of the release, many people found that the resolution of the Mate30 Pro screen was less than 2K, which was a downgrade compared to the Mate20 Pro. However, it is not bad to see high-resolution photos. Of course, if you expect a very fine experience, it is not as good as 2K. resolution.

The color of the screen, maybe I am used to seeing OLED, and I think the color rendering of the Mate30 Pro is quite comfortable. It also has a built-in "natural color display" function, which automatically adjusts the screen color according to the ambient light, making it as close as possible to the feeling of paper and reducing glare. sense.

In addition, I found that its viewing angle is very good, and the brightness is not much different from the side view and the front view. When it is placed on the desktop, it can still be inclined from the side.

Aim for notices, text or videos. It is not clear what the maximum brightness of the Mate30 Pro is in terms of specifications, but the outdoor brightness is good, and the framing picture in the sun is still very clear.

Game experience

The operation, performance, picture, and control sensitivity of the game itself are not too problematic, except that the external speakers are only unilateral, other performances are very good. But the biggest disadvantage of the experience is that the game progress is stored on the Google Play account before, and you can't come back if you don't flash the machine, or you can't log in to the game bound to Google Play at the beginning... (This is how you often play Shadow Gun during testing. ..)

Like the Mate20 X, the Mate30 Pro has a multi-layer and graphene cooling system, and it is claimed to be able to improve the cooling efficiency with AI thermal management. I still played "Paradise 2" and "Modern Warfare: Peak Showdown", and the picture quality and dynamics are selected to be high Or 60fps, after playing for about an hour, measure the surface of the fuselage at a maximum of about 40~43 degrees (with cladding). Although it is winter, but if you continue to play games at room temperature, the temperature of the fuselage does not increase significantly. The feeling is quite obvious. Generally, the body temperature is most likely to rise during wired fast charging, but it is still warm when touched, and the cooling mechanism seems to be doing well.

Mate30 Pro also has built-in game tools. In addition to setting the side as the LR button as mentioned above, there are also game acceleration, notification do not disturb, screen recording, screenshots, accident prevention...etc. In-game calls will be notified in a small window, but will not interrupt the game.

Heat dissipation, performance, gadgets, etc., plus the full-screen vision, after wearing the headset, the Mate30 Pro can provide a good gaming experience, but it is a pity that the Google account is the problem.

electricity

The Mate30 Pro has a built-in power of 4500mAh, which is quite a lot in terms of the screen and the size of the mobile phone. It also supports 40W wired fast charging and 27W wireless fast charging. The mobile phone itself also has the function of reverse wireless charging.

After doing the Internet, video, and game tests that I do every time, there is still 62% of the power at the end, and it seems that the power consumption is well controlled. (The screen brightness is 50%, connect to Wi-Fi but still put the SIM card, select FHD+ for the resolution, and keep the other defaults.)

There are also power consumption rankings, high power consumption program records, which programs automatically start records... etc. These are tools that allow you to check which programs consume abnormal power or are frequently started. When you want to manage power These tools can be put to good use.

Just looking at the hardware and software of the mobile phone, although the camera specifications do not look more gorgeous than the P30 Pro, but in terms of size, exterior design, screen, power, game performance, etc., you will still feel that the Mate30 Pro is a very powerful model. , the feature set also makes sense (not stacked for high specs) phones.

The first impression is its size. It seems that there is an unwritten rule. The flagship screen must be large, so the body is not too small, but the Mate30 Pro has a 6.53-inch screen, and because of its narrow width, it is easy to hold. Feeling this kind of thing that you are feeling every second is a lot of extra points.

As for the waterfall screen, maybe because I watch the infinity screen of Note10+ every day, so I didn't feel very amazing when I first saw it (but it will be very impressive for those who have not touched it before), but with the trial , After watching various programs, photos, watching web pages, movies, games, etc., the screen is full to the outside of the frame, and there is no border blocking it, which is a more advanced experience. Some students said that the brightness of the curved screen is darker, but anyway, my vision is on the front, and I don't look at the side, which has little effect on me.

But the lack of built-in GMS is the biggest disadvantage, but everyone should be very clear about this premise.

Then there is only a single speaker, missing the configuration that a flagship machine should have, and the external listening experience is really not as good as dual speakers. This is not enough to be heard, which is quite obvious.

Then, although the waterfall screen looks good, I don't think it is very resistant to falling. Be careful, there is a free screen repair once in the pre-order gift, I hope it is a spare and not used.
