Is it better to buy Huawei Mate 30 Pro 4G or 5G? Why is the Chinese version of Huawei Mate 30 Pro so expensive?

After the release of the Chinese version of Huawei Mate 30 Pro, people are discussing whether to buy 4G or 5G. 4G is much cheaper than 5G, but 5G is the future development trend. However, many people are worried about the signal coverage or the future 5G package charges. So, is it better to buy 4G or 5G for Huawei Mate 30 Pro? Let's take a look!

Is it better to buy Huawei Mate 30 Pro with 4G or 5G?

Huawei has learned a lesson this time, because the 5G version of Huawei Mate 30 series will be released in November! In other words, if you want to experience the 5G version of Huawei Mate 30 Pro, you have to wait for more than a month, which seems to have some impact on ordinary users!

However, if we compare the prices of 4G and 5G, 8G+256GB (6,899 yuan) 5G version - 8G+256G (6,299 yuan) 4G version.

By comparing like this, you will find that the Huawei Mate 30 Pro 5G version is actually more cost-effective. Because, although the price of 5G is a little more expensive, in terms of the processor, it has two more contents overall!

The difference between Kirin 990 (5G) and Kirin 990 is that the 5G version of Kirin 990 uses the 7nm+EUV process, and has further improved the CPU, such as improving the performance of A76. The core has a higher main frequency effect than Kirin 990, reaching 2.38Ghz!

In terms of energy consumption core, it has also been improved to 1.95Ghz, and 2 large cores are used on the NPU. The most important thing is that it supports 5G!

From this aspect, we seem to be able to understand the advantages of the Kirin 990 5G version. The processor performance advantage is greater than that of the 4G version of the Kirin 990 processor.

So, besides these advantages, is it necessary to choose 5G? I think it depends on your needs:

If the 5G network in your area is not yet developed, you don't need to buy a 5G version of the phone, because it is equivalent to buying a 4G phone. You will spend more money. In fact, the processor is at the level of Kirin 990, whether it is 4G or 5G version, there is no difference, the actual experience is almost the same. Don't think that the phone will be smooth if the main frequency is high, it's not true!

If the 5G network is well developed in your area, you can consider 5G mobile phones, such as in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, etc. After all, in terms of price, the difference between them is not too big.

Why is the Chinese version of Huawei Mate 30pro so expensive?

On September 26, Huawei held a domestic launch conference for the Mate 30 series and officially announced the prices of the three mobile phones in the series:

Huawei Mate 30 4G version: 6GB+128GB, 3999 yuan; 8GB+128GB, 4299 yuan.

Huawei Mate 30 Pro 4G version: 8GB+128GB, 5799 yuan; 8GB+256GB, 6299 yuan.

Huawei Mate 30 5G version: 8GB+128GB, 4999 yuan; 8GB+256G, 5499 yuan.

Huawei Mate 30 Pro 5G version: 8GB+256GB, 6899 yuan, 8GB+512GB, 7899 yuan.

Huawei Mate 30 RS Porsche Design: 12GB+512GB, 12,999 yuan.

From the pricing point of view, the Huawei Mate 30 series is neither expensive nor cheap. The cheapest Huawei Mate 30 4G version is only 3999 yuan, and the most expensive (excluding the Porsche version) Huawei Mate 30 Pro 5G version 8+512GB is 7899 yuan, a difference of 3900 yuan.

iPhone 11 and Huawei Mate 30 Pro comparison

1. Processor. Kirin 990 and A13, indeed, A13 still has an advantage in terms of processor performance, but in terms of AI, Kirin 990 still has obvious advantages, and even its AI capabilities, in some aspects, exceed A13. Overall, although A13 is strong, you have to see in actual experience that there is not much difference between the two.

2. Photo. Let's take a look at the hardware parameters and you will know how big the difference is. The iPhone 11 uses dual 12-megapixel cameras, while the Huawei Mate 30 Pro uses a 40-megapixel movie camera (ultra-wide angle, f/1.8 aperture) + 40-megapixel ultra-sensitive camera (wide angle, f/1.6 aperture, supports OIS) + 8-megapixel telephoto camera (f/2.4 aperture, supports OIS) + 3D depth camera. In DXomark, its score ranks first!

3. Battery life. Compared with the iPhone 11, the 4500mAh battery is self-evident, not to mention that it also uses 40W fast charging, 27W wireless charging, and supports wireless reverse charging.

4. Signal capability. It is hard for us not to affirm the signal capability of Huawei Mate 30 Pro, while iPhone 11 is still using Intel baseband.

Through the simple comparison above, we know that although the prices are similar, the advantages of iPhone 11 are indeed not as good as Huawei mate 30 Pro. From this point of view, Huawei's pricing is not high; after all, it is a high-end flagship model, so such pricing is understandable.
