Huawei’s Mate 80 and Mate 80 Pro pack 5,750mAh batteries, triple cameras | Infinium-tech

The Huawei Mate 80 and Mate 80 Pro are official.

The pair are almost identical in appearance due to many shared components including the display and battery. Let’s dive in!

The display is the same in both the phones. It is a 6.75-inch 1-120Hz LTPO OLED panel with a 1280x2832px resolution, 1.07 billion colors, and full coverage of the P3 color gamut. The screen has 1440Hz PWM dimming and 300Hz touch sampling rate.

Huawei claims the panel is the brightest it has ever seen on a phone, reaching 8,000 nits!

Both the Mate 80 phones have a 3D ToF face scanning camera upfront and a side-mounted fingerprint scanner. They also share support for satellite communications.

The Mate 80 Pro has a Kirin 9030, while the Mate 80 has a Kirin 9020. Details on the chipset are limited, but Huawei claims the Kirin 9030 is 35% faster than the Kirin 9020, which is in turn 35% faster than the Kirin 9010. The Mate 80 Pro Max also has the Kirin 9030 Pro inside, which is a step up. Inside the Mate 80 Pro is the Kirin 9030, which is about 42% faster than the Kirin 9020, which would make it 7% faster than the Kirin 9030 non-Pro.

And while the Pro Max comes exclusively in 16GB of RAM, the Mate 80 and Mate 80 Pro both start at 12GB and only go up to 16GB in their top-tier versions.

Both phones have a 5,750mAh battery, but the Mate 80 Pro has faster charging – up to 100W wired and up to 80W wireless. The Mate 80 still offers respectable 66W wired and 50W wireless speeds.

Let’s talk about imaging, where there are both similarities and differences. The pair sports a triple camera system at the back and a 13MP selfie camera with an autofocusing f/2.0 lens.

The Mate 80 sports a 50MP wide-angle camera with a variable aperture f/1.4-f/4.0 lens and a 1/1.28-inch RYYB sensor. Then there’s a 40MP ultrawide camera with an f/2.2 lens, and finally, there’s a 12MP 5.5x zoom camera with a 125mm f/3.4 lens.

The Mate 80 Pro has the same wide and ultrawide cameras, but it brings a nicer telephoto unit. It has a 48MP sensor with a 4x or 92.5mm telephoto lens and a brighter f/2.1 aperture.

Both camera systems are backed by Huawei’s second-generation Red Maple imaging chip that tunes processing and color.

The Mate 80 series launches with HarmonyOS 6, featuring a revamped design and a bunch of AI smarts.
