Huawei Mate20 Pro 与 Apple iPhone Xs Max 对比

Android之王咬了Apple的iPhone一口

随着 Huawei 最新旗舰智能手机 Mate 20 和 Mate 20 Pro 的登场，有必要将其与本季度发布的其他顶级设备进行对比。其中包括 Apple 的 iPhone Xs 和 Xs Max。

与之前的对比一样，我们将本次汇总分为以下几个类别：

1) 设计与制造
2) 显示屏
3) 摄像头
4) 处理器
5) 内存
6) 存储
7) 连接性
8) 电池续航
9) 操作系统
10) 价格

设计与构建

Apple 一直推出设计精美、优雅且工艺精良的 iPhone。然而，它们往往会在几代产品中沿用相同的设计。

iPhone X 和 Xs Max 的外观与初代 iPhone X 基本相同，因此这里没什么令人兴奋的新内容。

与此同时，Huawei在Mate 20 Pro的设计与做工方面相比上一代实现了显著改进。它采用了全金属机身搭配玻璃对玻璃的外壳设计，配备曲面玻璃前面板，并在细节处融入了诸多精妙之处。

背板采用玻璃材质，使得 iPhone Xs Max 和 Mate 20 Pro 具备无线充电功能。

总体而言，与旧款且略显沉闷的 iPhone Xs Max 相比，我们更喜欢 Mate 20 Pro 的外观和设计。

显示屏

Mate20 Pro配备一块6.39英寸的19.5:9 OLED，分辨率为2K+（1440 x 3120像素），像素密度为 538ppi，屏占比高达87.6%。

The iPhone Xs Max 配备了一块稍大的 6.5" Super AMOLED 显示屏，分辨率为 2,688 x 1,242 像素，拥有 458 ppi 的像素密度，屏占比达 84.4%，并支持 Dolby Vision 和 HDR 10。

两款 OLED 显示屏同样精美、明亮且清晰，但 Mate20 Pro 在像素密度、屏占比以及曲面正面面板方面略胜一筹。

相机

Huawei在其徕卡三摄系统方面进行了一些非常有趣的设置。

Mate20 Pro 配备三颗全功能摄像头：一颗 4000 万像素广角镜头传感器，光圈为 f/1.8；第二颗 2000 万像素超广角镜头传感器，光圈为 f/2.2；第三颗 8MP 长焦镜头传感器，光圈为 f/2.4。

主摄像头配备光学防抖，其余两颗摄像头则采用AI防抖技术，以实现更高的精准度和快速对焦拍摄。

Apple在双摄像头系统方面做出了一些努力，但在该领域的创新方面似乎落后了。

The iPhone Xs Max 配备双 1200 万像素摄像头，其中广角镜头光圈为 f/1.8，另一颗镜头光圈为 f/2.4。我们认为这一配置至少略显过时。

iPhone Xs Max 的前置摄像头仅为 7MP，光圈为 f/2.2，与 Mate 20 Pro 配备的 2400 万像素传感器（f/2.0 光圈）相比显得微不足道。

两款手机均支持 4K 录制，但 Mate20 Pro 仅支持在 30fps 下进行，而 iPhone Xs Max 则提供 24fps、30fps 和 60fps 选项。

在画质方面，两款手机都能拍摄出非常出色的照片和视频，但Mate20 Pro在低光或夜景拍摄方面表现尤为出色。

在相机创新方面，Huawei无疑领先于Apple，Mate20 Pro 在此类别中胜出。

Processor

Huawei’s Kirin 980 chipset is among the most powerful in the market. The 7nm chip is the world’s first among Android phones although Apple technically got that crown with their A12 Bionic chip.

The Apple A12 chip is composed of a 6-core processor (2x2.5GHz Vortex + 4x1.6GHz Tempest) and a 4-core GPU.

The HiSilicon Kirin 980 is equally powerful and is made of an octa-core processor comprised of a dual-core Cortex A76 2.6GHz, dual-core Cortex A76 1.92GHz, and quad-core Cortex A55 1.8GHz.

If we take their scores using performance benchmarks like Antutu, the Mate 20 Pro gets a high score of over 308,000 while the iPhone Xs Max got a whopping 360,000 points.

The iPhone Xs Max wins this round.

RAM

Apple has never really highlighted the memory capacity of their iPhones. This is mainly due to the fact that iOS is so well-optimized it doesn’t really need a lot of memory to perform well.

Despite that, Apple still increases the amount of RAM of their iPhones every once in a while and the iPhone Xs Max now has 4GB of it.

With the Mate20 Pro, you get the option of 6GB for the base model and 8GB for the top variant.

If we just look at the numbers, the Mate20 Pro edges out the iPhone Xs Max in terms of on-board memory.

Storage

The iPhone Xs Max comes in various storage options – 64GB for the base model with 256GB and 512GB variants at different prices.

As for the Mate 20 Pro, storage option starts at 128GB with an option for a 256GB variant.

In this comparison, we’ll stick with the base models so the Mate 20 Pro’s 128GB storage is bigger than the 64GB of the iPhone Xs Max.

Connectivity

Connectivity is one aspect of any smartphone that’s not often discussed nor highlighted but is very important. Connectivity features include the LTE modem, WiFi, Bluetooth, NFC, and GPS.

While the iPhone Xs Max has all the connectivity options available, it has some limitations inherent to the OS. One example is the NFC that only works with Apple Pay and NFC tags (without an app) though it’s only on read-only mode so it’s not really a full-functioning NFC.

On the other hand, the Mate 20 Pro has a suite of connectivity options. It’s got a dual-LTE modem that’s the fastest in the world (Cat. 21 up to 1.4Gbps). It’s also got dual GPS that makes it faster to connect and much more accurate than any other smartphone, even in densely populated areas with lots of high-rise buildings.

The iPhone Xs Max has a dual-SIM option but that’s only exclusive to China. The Mate20 Pro has a hybrid dual-SIM with the second nano-SIM tray compatible with an NM card for additional storage of up to 256GB.

Battery Life

When considering battery performance, we look at battery capacity, battery life, charging time and other battery-related features.

The iPhone Xs Max comes with a built-in 3,417mAh Li-ion battery while the Mate20 Pro has a bigger capacity at 4,200mAh.

Both have fast charging and wireless charging capability but the Mate 20 Pro is faster at 70% within 30 minutes compared to 50% on the iPhone.

As for battery life, we tested the Mate20 Pro managed to last 23.5 hours of video playback on a single full charge. On the other hand, the iPhone Xs Max lasts about 16 hours on video loop at full charge.

One very unique feature of the Mate20 Pro is the reverse wireless charging. This means you can actually wirelessly charge the iPhone Xs Max with the Mate 20 Pro.

OS

Apple’s new iOS 12 has got a lot of new features and comes pre-installed with the iPhone Xs Max.

Meanwhile, the Mate 20 Pro also comes with Google’s latest Android 9.0 Pie. ??While Android 9 has lots of really good features, we think that iOS 12 is more efficient and optimal for the device.

This means a better performing device that’s snappy and responsive, works well with apps and games, has much fewer bugs and works very smoothly.

Price

The iPhone Xs Max retails for Php74,990 for the 64GB variant while the Huawei Mate 20 Pro sells for Php49,990 for the 128GB variant.

It’s pretty obvious the iPhone line is really very expensive, perhaps the most expensive among all the flagship smartphones in the market. The pricing becomes increasingly insane with higher storage models like the 512GB that costs (Php97,490) almost twice that of the Mate 20 Pro.

For this round, the Mate 20 Pro wins by a huge margin.

Our Verdict

Huawei is certainly winning the smartphone game and the Mate20 Pro is a testament to their R&D prowess. Apple used to be way ahead of the competition but this time around, even their best, the iPhone Xs Max, has no match when you break down the essentials.

There’s also the issue about pricing. Apple is confident that their sales will do great despite their ridiculous pricing but that’s just how they are.

Our comparison between the Mate20 Pro and the iPhone Xs Max has stated the obvious and we leave the rest to you, our dear readers.
