The Kirin 9000 has a 24-core Mali-G78 GPU that is supposedly 52% faster than the Snapdragon 865+, with 50% better power efficiency.

The Kirin 9000E has a 22-core Mali-G78 GPU, which should be slightly less powerful.

NPU Performance

The Kirin 9000 has 2 Big-Core NPUs and 1 Tiny-Core NPU that deliver up to 2.4X better performance with 2.5X better power efficiency than the Snapdragon 865+.

The Kirin 9000E has just 1 Big-Core NPU and 1 Tiny-Core NPU.

Integrated 5G Modem

Both mobile SoCs come with an integrated Balong 5000 multi-mode 5G modem.

HUAWEI claims it offers up to 5X faster upload speeds and 2X faster download speeds than the separate Snapdragon X55 modem that is paired with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865+.

ISP Performance

They both also feature ISP 6.0 – their 6th generation image signal processor.

Compared to the Kirin 990, it offers 50% higher bandwidth, 48% better noise reduction capability, and better HDR video processing capability.

HUAWEI Mate Xs Foldable Smartphone : Hands-On Preview!

Leave a reply

We recently had access (for a limited time) with a few HUAWEI Mate Xs foldable smartphones, and here is our hands-on preview!

We will also share with you EVERYTHING you need to know about the HUAWEI Mate Xs, including its specifications and price!

HUAWEI Mate Xs : Hands-On Experience!

Let’s start with our hands-on experience with the new HUAWEI Mate Xs foldable smartphone. Be sure to check out how the Falcon Wing mechanism works, and look at how flat the display looks after it’s fully unfolded!

The only buttons you will find on the Mate Xs are located along the right edge – the Power button which doubles as the fingerprint sensor, and the Volume control buttons.

The HUAWEI Mate Xs comes with a dual-slot hybrid card tray at the top. It supports two nano SIM cards, or a single nano SIM card and an NM card (for additional storage of up to 256 GB).

Even though it comes with a substantial camera bar on the right side, there is no 3.5 mm audio jack. Only a USB Type C, which supports USB 3.1 Gen1 – basically USB 3.0.

There is no “front camera”, because of its foldable design – you can just flip it over and use the back display and the “rear cameras” for selfies. This gives you great flexibility because the Leica quad camera system offers :

a 40 MP main camera, with f/1.8 aperture
a 16 MP ultra-wide camera, with f/2.2 aperture
an 8 MP telephoto camera, with f/2.4 aperture, and
a Time of Flight camera, with f/2.2 aperture

But its main killer feature is the ability to unfold the display to create a large, tablet-like 8-inch OLED display!

When folded, the front display is 6.6-inch in size, while the rear display is 6.38-inch in size.

HUAWEI Mate Xs : Improved HUAWEI Mate X!

The HUAWEI Mate Xs is basically an improved version of their first foldable smartphone, the HUAWEI Mate X.

It features the same design, with an external 8-inch foldable display, and a Leica quad-camera system. But there have been some changes internally.

New 5G Mobile Platform

Instead of pairing the Kirin 980 mobile SoC with the Balong 5000 5G chip, the HUAWEI Mate Xs uses the new Kirin 990 5G mobile SoC, with a triple-tier architecture :

two ARM Cortex-A76 high-performance cores at 2.86 GHz
two ARM Cortex-A76 sustained performance cores at 2.36 GHz
four ARM Cortex-A55 low-power cores at 1.95 GHz

It also comes with a powerful 16-core ARM Mali-G76 GPU, and a new Da Vinci neural architecture with 2 big NPUs and 1 small NPU.

Improved Cooling

Keeping the Kirin 990 5G cool is a new flexible bionic graphite cooling system that folds with the display, and dissipates heat through both sections.

Improved Falcon Wing Mechanism

While it uses the same foldable design and foldable OLED display, the Falcon Wing mechanism has been improved somewhat.

Leica Quad Camera System

The Leica quad camera system which works as both front and rear cameras offer great flexibility due to its mix of cameras :

a 40 MP main camera, with f/1.8 aperture
a 16 MP ultra-wide camera, with f/2.2 aperture
an 8 MP telephoto camera, with f/2.4 aperture, and
a Time of Flight camera, with f/2.2 aperture

HUAWEI Mate Xs vs Mate X : What’s Different?

Leave a reply

The HUAWEI Mate Xs foldable smartphone has been announced, and will soon be here!

But what’s the difference between the HUAWEI Mate Xs, and the HUAWEI Mate X? Let’s find out!

HUAWEI Mate Xs vs Mate X : What’s Different?

Let’s start with our hands-on experience with the new HUAWEI Mate Xs foldable smartphone. You won’t be able to tell the HUAWEI Mate Xs from the HUAWEI Mate X by touching and feeling them – they both look and feel identical.

The HUAWEI Mate Xs is basically an improved version of their first foldable smartphone, the HUAWEI Mate X.

It features the same design, with an external 8-inch foldable display, and a Leica quad-camera system. But there have been some changes internally.

New 5G Mobile Platform

The HUAWEI Mate X pairs the Kirin 980 mobile SoC with the Balong 5000 5G chip. While that offers 5G connectivity and a good mobile platform, the separate chips mean higher power consumption and thermal output.

The HUAWEI Mate Xs, on the other hand, uses the new Kirin 990 5G mobile SoC, which has a multi-mode 5G modem built in. It also comes with a powerful 16-core ARM Mali-G76 GPU, and a new Da Vinci neural architecture with 2 big NPUs and 1 small NPU.

Improved Cooling

Keeping the Kirin 990 5G cool is a new flexible bionic graphite cooling system that folds with the display, and dissipates heat through both sections. The HUAWEI Mate X does not appear to feature this cooling design.

Improved Falcon Wing Mechanism

While it uses the same foldable design and foldable OLED display, the Falcon Wing mechanism has been improved somewhat in the HUAWEI Mate Xs.

So that’s really all that have changed from the HUAWEI Mate X to the new HUAWEI Mate Xs.

HUAWEI Mate Xs vs Mate X : Specifications

In this table, we compare the specifications of the new HUAWEI Mate Xs against its predecessor, the HUAWEI Mate X.

HUAWEI Mate Xs : EVERYTHING You Need To Know!

Leave a reply

Right after HUAWEI announced their new Mate Xs foldable smartphone, we had exclusive access to a few of these new foldable devices… for a short time.

Here is EVERYTHING you need to know about the HUAWEI Mate Xs, including our video preview, and two official HUAWEI promo videos!

HUAWEI Mate Xs : Improved HUAWEI Mate X!

The HUAWEI Mate Xs is basically an improved version of their first foldable smartphone, the HUAWEI Mate X.

It features the same design, with an external 8-inch foldable display, and a Leica quad-camera system. But there have been some changes internally.

New 5G Mobile Platform

Instead of pairing the Kirin 980 mobile SoC with the Balong 5000 5G chip, the HUAWEI Mate Xs uses the new Kirin 990 5G mobile SoC.

This not only reduces the amount of power used, the Kirin 990 5G also offers better CPU and NPU performance.

Improved Cooling

Keeping the Kirin 990 5G cool is a new flexible bionic graphite cooling system that folds with the display, and dissipates heat through both sections.

Improved Falcon Wing Mechanism

While it uses the same foldable design and foldable OLED display, the Falcon Wing mechanism has been improved somewhat.

HUAWEI Mate Xs vs Mate X : Specifications

In this table, we compare the specifications of the new HUAWEI Mate Xs against its predecessor, the HUAWEI Mate X.

HUAWEI Mate 30 Pro 5G : Why You Should Buy It NOW!

Leave a reply

When HUAWEI announced the Mate 30 Pro 5G, people asked – why do we need to buy one when there is limited or no 5G coverage?

Find out who should purchase the Mate 30 Pro 5G, and why you should purchase it NOW.

HUAWEI Mate 30 Pro 5G : Who Should Buy One?

First thing we should get across is that not everyone needs a 5G smartphone right now. So who should purchase one, and why right now?

Let’s start with some reasons why the Mate 30 Pro 5G may be the right choice for you :

Reason #1 : Your Ticket To 5G Connectivity Worldwide

If you travel a lot, a 5G smartphone like the HUAWEI Mate 30 Pro 5G will allow you to enjoy the best of both established 4G networks and new 5G networks globally.

So far, 47 countries have already commercialised 5G networks, so the Mate30 Pro 5G will let you enjoy the best possible connectivity, whether it’s 5G or 4G.

Reason #2 : Best Possible 5G Connectivity

HUAWEI is the only end-to-end 5G network supplier, delivering everything from the core network to terminal equipment. This is why the 5G networks in most countries are built by HUAWEI, including China, UK, Germany, Italy and Dubai.

Needless to say, they tested the HUAWEI Mate 30 Pro 5G extensively against their 5G networks, guaranteeing that it will deliver the best possible 5G connectivity of any 5G smartphone.

Reason #3 : Integrated 5G Baseband + Faster AI Performance

The HUAWEI Mate 30 Pro 5G is built around the Kirin 990 5G platform, which is different in two aspects from the Kirin 990 platform used in the regular Mate30 Pro (4G) :

Integrated 5G baseband with support for SA / NSA modes
3 NPUs (2 big + 1 small), instead of just 2 NPUs (1 big + 1 small)

This should give the 5G model a significant boost in AI performance, in addition to 5G network connectivity.

We should also note that by integrating the 5G baseband into the chip, it will use significantly less power than discrete (separate) 5G chips used in other 5G smartphones.

Reason #4 : All-Aspect Antenna Design

The HUAWEI Mate 30 Pro 5G uses an all-aspect antenna design. Out of its 21 antennas, 14 are 5G antennas, ensuring a stable 5G connection and eliminating the possibility of a “death grip”.

Thanks to close optimisation with their 5G network equipment, HUAWEI also reports that it not only delivers 50% faster 5G connectivity than competing 5G smartphones, it also consumes less power.

At a recent test in Langkawi, HUAWEI was able to demonstrate a download speed of 1.8 Gbps!

Reason #5 : First SIRIM-Certified 5G Smartphone

While other brands have tried to be the first to introduce 5G smartphones, the HUAWEI Mate 30 Pro 5G is the first SIRIM-certified 5G smartphone.

Not only is it the first 5G smartphone certified for use in Malaysia, it is certified for use with 5G networks globally.

HUAWEI Mate 30 Pro 5G : Our Opinion

Many of us no longer change our smartphones every year, using them for 2.5 years or longer.

[adrotate group=”2″]

While the Mate 30 Pro (4G) is a great smartphone in its own right, the 5G model will keep you future-proofed.

With 5G networks here in Malaysia and around the world coming online this year, opting for the 5G model will mean you don’t have to upgrade your smartphone to enjoy 5G connectivity.

More importantly, it is just slightly more expensive than the 4G model at RM 4,199 (roughly US$1,019 / £776 / A$1,523 / S$1,399).

So the decision for us is really a no-brainer – if you are planning to purchase the HUAWEI Mate30 Pro, it’s really a smarter choice to opt for the 5G model.

HUAWEI Mate 30 Pro 5G : Why Buy It Now?

Now, if you like the HUAWEI Mate 30 Pro 5G, you should take advantage of their pre-order / early bird offer.

HUAWEI Malaysia is offering this pre-order / early bird special – exclusive gifts worth RM 537 :

HUAWEI Wireless In-Car SuperCharge charger
HUAWEI Care (1-year extended warranty)

On top of that, these online retailers are offering even sweeter deals for pre-orders / early bird purchases :

HUAWEI Mate 30 Pro Photo Showcase : Macau!

Leave a reply

As soon as we got our hands on the HUAWEI Mate 30 Pro, we took it to Macau to grab some photo samples!

Check out the unedited photo samples we took, and see for yourselves why people are saying it has the best cameras they ever used!

HUAWEI Mate 30 Pro : A Quick Primer

The HUAWEI Mate 30 Pro (MY | SG | US) is the pinnacle of Chinese smartphone technology, boasting their latest Kirin 990 processor and arguably, the world’s most advanced quad-camera system from Leica!

Despite shipping without GMS, HUAWEI sold over 1 million units of the HUAWEI Mate30 Series smartphones in China… in just 3 hours!

A big reason why so many people loved the HUAWEI Mate 30 Pro (MY | SG | US) is its Leica SuperSensing Quad Camera System that consists of :

40 MP Cine Camera (f/1.6 aperture)
40 MP SuperSensing Wide-Angle Camera (f/1.8 aperture)
8 MP Telephoto Camera with 3X optical zoom (f/2.4 aperture)
3D Depth Sensing Camera

The HUAWEI Mate 30 Pro is particularly popular because of its 40 MP SuperSensing Cine Camera, which supports 4K 60fps video recording, with these groundbreaking features :

an ISO of up to 51200,
Cinematic Time-lapse capability,
real-time video bokeh effect, and
an ultra-slow motion mode that records at up to 7680 fps!

For those who want to buy the HUAWEI Mate30 Pro directly, here are some online purchase links :

Malaysia : RM 3,899 | RM 3,899
Singapore : S$1,298
United States : $924 | $959

Historic Old Macau!

This time, we focused on the streets of peninsular Macau. This is the old, heavily-populated part of Macau where most of the Portuguese-influenced sights like Senado Square is located.

As this part of Macau is heavily-urbanised with many old buildings, it has great character wherever you go – offering great opportunities for street photography.

As usual, we took these photo samples using the Auto mode with no manual adjustments – because this is precisely how the vast majority of smartphone users take their photos!

We want our photo samples to reflect EXACTLY what any HUAWEI Mate 30 Pro (MY | SG | US) user can achieve, if he/she took the same photos in the same spot, at the same time, as we did.

HUAWEI Mate 30 Pro Photo Showcase : Macau!

We started the day with noodles and congee at Rua dos Mercadores. Note how congested the city looks – the buildings here are at least seven stories tall.

We resized this photo to ensure it loads quickly, but the detail in the original photo is amazing – you can zoom Into the balcony of the residential units and check out what plants they have in their mini-garden, or what clothes they hung out to dry!

This view of Rua Central emphasises the congestion in this part of Macau that cramps about 600,000 residents in just 8.5 square kilometres.

This photo shows pretty good control of the highlights and shadows. The sun was really bright, beating down mercilessly on the residences on the left, while the rest were in shadows.

The highlights were slightly overblown, but it did a good job of preserving details in the shadows. You can clearly read the small signboards further down the road.

Just off Rua Central is this unique green-coloured Theatro Dom Pedro V. (伯多祿五世劇院) | Dom Pedro V Theatre.

Built to commemorate King Pedro V of Portugal, this neo-classical building now hosts orchestral performances, opera and musical festivals.

Again, the HUAWEI Mate 30 Pro (MY | SG | US) opts to let the highlights blow out a little, in exchange for preserving details in the shadows. You can clearly make out the man standing next to the pillar, as well as details of the theatre’s ornate windows and doors.

On arrival at the A-Ma Temple, we find it bustling with lion and dragon dance troupes preparing for the Macau International Parade!

It was a really bright day – you can see some glare from the bright sun in the upper right quadrant. Yet, you can zoom in and clearly see the faces of each person in this picture, even though they are in the shadows.

We stepped inside the A-Ma Temple for a short respite from the crowds outside. Built in 1488 to worship the Chinese sea goddess Mazu, it is the oldest temple in Macau!

This is yet another high-contrast shot. The HUAWEI Mate 30 Pro (MY | SG | US) did a decent job on the harshly-lit leaves, and kept the skies blue instead of completely white.

But more importantly – you can clearly see the craggy texture of the boulder, as well as the stone stairs, even though they are in the shadows.

Next Page > Onwards To The Monte Fort!

Support Tech ARP!

HUAWEI Mate 30 Pro Photo Showcase : The Monte Fort!

Next, we headed off for the Monte Fort – the tallest point in Macau, and its historic military centre.

Instead of doubling back along the same route, we went down Rua da Barra for more scenic opportunities.

The 40 MP wide-angle camera is particularly useful in such shots, although it’s not quite as wide as the Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ (US | UK | AU | SG | MY).

The good news though is that your subjects in these wide-angle photos will not look distorted.

Even side roads offer great photographic opportunities, thanks to its combination of unique architecture, weathered look and old world cobble-stone pavements.

This high-contrast shot shows how well the HUAWEI Mate 30 Pro (MY | SG | US) controls both the brightly-lit leaves and cobblestones, yet ensuring we can clearly see the vines and moss on the old walls and the design of the louvred windows and doors.

The new world (tour vans) trying to navigate the narrow streets of old, historic Macau…

Yet another very high-contrast shot. While the harshly-lit buildings in the background lost some details, it still preserved enough that we can make out the building facade as well as the vans.

Yet you can clearly make out the crawling vines, and weathered walls of the green building on the left, as well as its window and door.

On the way, we spotted this unique structure – a doorway into the Patio do Cotovelo “inner” street with businesses lining both sides.

The detail is AMAZING! More so when you blow it up to 100% of its 40 MP resolution. You can see the brickwork in great detail, and zoom right to the shop at the end of the lane!

So here we are, at the Monte Fort (Fortaleza do Monte or 大炮台). Built between 1617 and 1626 on top of Mount Hill, it is the historic military centre of Macau.

In this almost uniformly-bright photo, the HUAWEI Mate 30 Pro (MY | SG | US) demonstrates its ability to capture incredible detail. Blowing up the picture allows us to see the individual leaves of the tree, as well as the details of the stone walls.

The fort covers an area of 8,000 square meters, with 32 of these muzzle-loading (state-of-the-art in those days!) cannons to protect Macau against pirates and eventually, the Dutch!

Again, this was an incredibly bright day, creating harsh shadows. Yet, you can’t tell that from this photo – the HUAWEI Mate 30 Pro (MY | SG | US) was able to control the highlights so that cannon, which is in direct sunlight, isn’t blown-out.

And yet, you can also see the colour of the flowers next to it, in the shadows. Also notable is the fact we can make out details of the distant building in the far background.

These days, it has become the favourite past-time of every tourist to use one of these cannons to “shoot” at the Grand Lisboa! LOL!

On this incredibly bright day, it’s noteworthy that we can zoom in and see details of the Grand Lisboa’s facade, which would be washed out in other cameras… and yes, you can make out the clouds in the bright blue sky!

This view offers the best perspective of Macau – the new and the old. The modern (and frankly, really odd-looking) Grand Lisboa in the distance, and the crumbling ruins of the old Monte Fort.

Again, the HUAWEI Mate 30 Pro (MY | SG | US) impressed us with its ability to preserve details in very bright conditions, even though the Grand Lisboa is miles away!

On the way back from the Monte Fort, we stumbled upon this unique home that is built over a street. I don’t even know what such a feature is called… a bridge house???

In any case, this is a great photo to zoom in, and be amazed at the amount of detail captured in a single photo.

You can examine in detail, the intricate brickwork of the overhead house. You can even zoom past the tunnel, into the shops in the distance!

As you can tell – Macau offers a lot of unique photographic opportunities, even in places you would least expect them – off the beaten path!

And the HUAWEI Mate 30 Pro (MY | SG | US) has the cameras that will let you capture incredible detail in every photo. Best of all – its Auto mode works incredibly well, letting you take awesome photos without any special skill or setup!

Even so, HUAWEI Malaysia says that 70% of their Mate30 Series vouchers have already been redeemed from the HUAWEI Member Centre!

What exactly is driving the sale of the HUAWEI Mate30 smartphones here in Malaysia? Let’s find out…

Why The HUAWEI Mate30 Is Popular In Malaysia

Here are some reasons why we believe HUAWEI Mate30 has so far struck a clear note with Malaysians.

No GMS? No Problem!

First, let’s get the elephant out of the room – the worry about HUAWEI Mobile Services, instead of Google Mobile Services.

Malaysians are generally quite tech-savvy and have quickly embraced solutions to the problem, as this video demonstrates :

Greatly Expanded HUAWEI AppGallery

Thanks to massive investment in the HUAWEI AppGallery, it has seen a massive expansion in the number of apps. More importantly – many key apps were launched within a month!

Over a period of just two months – from September to October 2019 – there were 200,000 new users of HUAWEI App Gallery, with 100 million apps downloaded in Malaysia alone!

On a daily basis, HUAWEI reported over 1.5 million downloads, and that 27 popular or critical apps were added in a single month.

SuperSensing Cine Camera

Malaysians LOVE to take photos and videos with their smartphones, and they are very particular about image quality and camera features.

The HUAWEI Mate 30 Pro is particularly popular because of its 40 MP SuperSensing Cine Camera, which supports 4K 60fps video recording, with these groundbreaking features :

an ISO of up to 51200,
Cinematic Time-lapse capability,
real-time video bokeh effect, and
an ultra-slow motion mode that records at up to 7680 fps!

Interactive AI Gesture Control

This is a really cool feature that seems to have impressed many Malaysians.

Its 3D Depth Sensing Camera and a Gesture Sensor are used to identify your face and detect your gestures, which are then used by its Tiny-Core NPU to interpret your gestures.

By simply looking at the screen, and swiping your hands, you can “command” the Mate 30 Series smartphone to perform many commands like unlocking the screen, change pages, and take screenshots.

AI Private View + AI Auto Rotate

The HUAWEI Mate 30 Series smartphones offer an AI Private View mode, which hides your private messages if it cannot recognised the face of the person viewing them!

They also have an AI Auto-Rotate capability, that uses the front 3D camera to analyse your eye orientation to automatically determine if they should lock the rotation of the display.

Multi-Screen Collaboration

The HUAWEI Multi-Screen Collaboration feature is incredibly powerful and useful.

Enabling it lets you easily drag-and-drop files between your Mate 30 Series smartphone and laptop. It even lets you use your laptop’s keyboard to type messages directly on your phone!

Long Battery Life!

Malaysians are prodigious smartphone users, which is why we always have a power bank handy!

The HUAWEI Mate 30 Series smartphones though, comes with a large 4200 mAh (Mate30) or 4500 mAh (Mate30 Pro) battery, which means they last a full day and then some!

And when it’s time to recharge them, it appears Malaysians love its super-fast 40W wired charging and world-leading 27W wireless charging capabilities!

The HUAWEI Mate 30 | Mate 30 Pro Referral Program Guide!

Leave a reply

HUAWEI Malaysia is kicking off a special Mate 30 | Mate 30 Pro Referral Program for less than 2 weeks!

Here is the Tech ARP guide to the HUAWEI Mate 30 | Mate 30 Pro Referral Program for Malaysia!

What Is The HUAWEI Mate 30 | Mate 30 Pro Referral Program?

The HUAWEI Mate 30 | Mate 30 Pro Referral Program is a limited sale program in Malaysia.

It aims to encourage the first batch of Mate 30 and Mate 30 Pro owners to reach out and get other people to buy them too.

The reason why they are doing this is to make sure the second batch of owners will have someone to help them clone their Android apps, or find alternative apps.

How Does The Mate 30 | Mate 30 Pro Referral Program Work?

Step 1 : Decide on a model

Here is the official price list for the HUAWEI Mate 30 and Mate 30 Pro for Malaysia :

HUAWEI Mate 30 (8 GB + 128 GB) : RM 2,799 / ~US$669 / ~£539 / ~A$989
HUAWEI Mate 30 Pro (8 GB + 256 GB) : RM 3,899 / ~US$929 / ~£749 / ~A$1,379

Step 2 : Decide on a colour

The HUAWEI Mate 30 and HUAWEI Mate 30 Pro smartphones are available in two colour options – Black and Space Silver.

Step 3 : Obtain a referral code

You need to get a referral code from an existing Mate 30 or Mate 30 Pro owner.

To get things started though, HUAWEI Malaysia’s Country Director Bill Liu is offering his personal referral code (33995) for everyone to use for two days – 27 to 28 October 2019.

Step 4 : Purchase through the Referral Program

Finally, head over to https://mate30seriesreferral.3ex.com.my/, and make your purchase with the referral code!

Why HUAWEI Created The Mate 30 | Mate 30 Pro Referral Program

HUAWEI decided against a general public sale of the HUAWEI Mate 30 and HUAWEI Mate 30 Pro smartphones, due to US restrictions on Google Mobile Services.

They began limited sales in Malaysia through the Exclusive Ownership Campaign, where existing or previous HUAWEI Mate users were allowed to purchase the Mate 30 or Mate 30 Pro.

These early adopters received a whole bunch of freebies. In exchange, they had to learn how to live without Google Mobile Services, with help from HUAWEI through an exclusive service hotline and WhatsApp channel.

And now, they will serve as HUAWEI’s unofficial geek squad! That is why you need a referral code from one of these existing Mate 30 or Mate 30 Pro owners, to be able to purchase a unit under the Referral Program.

How HUAWEI Mate 30 Pro Captures 7680 FPS Video!

Leave a reply

The HUAWEI Mate 30 Pro has a spectacular new video recording feature – the ability to capture 7680 fps ultra-slow motion video!

Find out how the HUAWEI Mate 30 Pro is able to capture video at a blazing 7680 frames per second!

The HUAWEI 7680 FPS Video Showcase!

HUAWEI shared with us four new short video samples to showcase the Mate 30 Pro‘s ability to deliver 7680 fps ultra-slow motion video.

Together with two additional videos they released earlier, we created this video showcase of their 7680 fps slow-motion capability.

How HUAWEI Mate 30 Pro Captures 7680 FPS Video!

It would be impossible for a human being to react fast enough to capture the “right moment”, so when you start recording, its NPU (Neural Processing Unit) analyses a second of video to determine the best time start recording at 7680 fps.

This process of analysing the video data and triggering at the right moment is a very strenuous process, using an AI algorithm and about 2 GB of RAM.

The HUAWEI Mate 30 Pro then captures 945 frames in 120 milliseconds. That approximately 3.5 GB worth of data is then expanded into 32 seconds of 30 fps ultra-slow motion video.

As you can tell, recording video at 7680 fps (frames per second) takes A LOT of processing power.

Even with its powerful Kirin 990 processor, the HUAWEI Mate 30 Pro can only do it at the 720p resolution, and only for a fleeting 0.12 seconds.

So if you are wondering when will you be able to record 7680 fps video at 1080p or 4K resolution, or for longer than 0.12 seconds… we did some calculations, and a future smartphone must be capable of processing all this data in an instant :

[adrotate group=”2″]

720p @ 0.24 seconds : 7.0 GB of data
1080p @ 0.12 seconds : 7.8 GB of data
1080p @ 0.24 seconds : 15.6 GB of data
4K @ 0.12 seconds : 31.4 GB of data
4K @ 0.24 seconds : 62.8 GB of data

In addition, all that data must fit into the smartphone’s memory. Such a smartphone would need anywhere from 10 GB to 64 GB of memory!

This is why the HUAWEI Mate 30 Pro’s new ability to record 7680 fps video at 720p is, frankly, freaking amazing. The most other flagship smartphones can do is 960 fps at 720p.

The HUAWEI Mate 30 Pro‘s 7680 fps ultra-slow motion video capability is literally far and above its competitors. 8X better, to be exact!

The HUAWEI 7680 FPS + ISO 25600 Video Showcase!

Leave a reply

The HUAWEI Mate 30 Pro has two spectacular video recording features – the ability to capture ultra-slow motion video at 7680 fps, and ultra-low light video at up to ISO 51200.

Here is EVERYTHING you need to know about both features, and our video showcase!

The HUAWEI 7680 FPS + ISO 25600 Video Showcase!

HUAWEI shared with us two short videos to showcase the Mate 30 Pro‘s ability to deliver 7680 fps ultra-slow motion video, as well as ultra-low light video recording at ISO 25600.

4K @ 0.12 seconds : 31.4 GB of data
4K @ 0.24 seconds : 62.8 GB of data

The HUAWEI Mate 30 High ISO Capability

In low light conditions, it is possible to increase the camera’s ISO value – basically boosting the signal from its image sensor.

While this effectively increases the sensitivity of the image sensor to light hitting its photodiodes, it can increase noise. Therefore, the ability to increase ISO levels without introducing significant noise is highly desirable.

The HUAWEI Mate 30 Pro boasts the ability to increase ISO levels up to ISO 51200, which is incredibly high. What this means is you have greater capability to take photos and record videos in low-light conditions.
