Anonymous, 23 Oct 2020How did they achieve stabilization in the photos and videos?AIS= Artificial Image Stabilization. Think of it as a more advanced EIS.

Anonymous, 23 Oct 2020Now you are talking like Apple. Apple does not own shapes like the rectangle with rounded corn... moreIf you take a look at MrWhoseTheBoss's video, he is referring to the iPod nano wheel. He flipped the Mate 40 Pro to demonsrate what the camera bump looks like.

Anonymous, 23 Oct 2020Well, they did invent the iPod. It's funny how Huawei has taken the iPod look.Now you are talking like Apple. Apple does not own shapes like the rectangle with rounded corners and concentric circles.

Does the iPod have cameras?

I hope you realise how nonsensical you sounded.

The selfie is very impressive.. Overall camera performance are same across the board...

Who need night mode if the auto can perform really well... Normal, wide & tele.. Texture and color really on point.. Much improved from p40 series.

Are they seeing a post Trump era?
Basically, this is the only reason why I'm still holding on with my Mate 20. A renewed partnership between Huawei and Google will definitely make me upgrade to either Mate 30 or Mate 40.

SNA1970, 23 Oct 20201200 euros ? and no google services ? no one will buy it . this phone should be around 7... morethis phone should be around 700 euros???? are you Huawei's CEO ?? the only weak point is the lack of Google services...the rest is top of the line... it has the best cameras...better than any other 2020's smartphone...one of the best OLED screens (even at max 90Hz and with lower resolution than Samsung's Note 20 & S20 screens)...IP68 water resistance...with a 9000 Kirin processor faster than SD865...the best TOF camera...this phone has everthing but Google services...so for you the lack of Google Services means $500 less in the MSRP??? you have no idea what are you talking about!!!!!

Because of this circular camera arrangement, Huawei had to sacrifice the battery size.
Dumb design.

Big Circle Back Camera and Big Hole Punch Dual front Camera. No GMS. The reason I throw away my Huawei Nova 7i.

So, the phone's GPU and CPU are running at 2 different frequencies.
Otherwise the gap between performance mode and regular mode wouldn't be this huge.
The GPU seems very good. Actually great for a Mali GPU.
But the CPU is very bad for 2021. I mean how on earth it has almost 20% performance improvement for performance mode on Geekbench !
Their CPU is just not efficient enough. So, they had to follow this pattern to show both reasonable power and efficiency.
Other SoC manufacturer should follow this too.
Exynos 2100 with 2 X1 core at 3.2 GHz and only 1 core will run at regular mode and both core will run at performance mode,
This configuration should kill the benchmark score.
