Compare the design of HUAWEI's latest flagship "P40 Pro" with "P30 Pro": Yasuhiro Yamane's overseas mobile exploration

Huawei's spring flagship model has three models, and "P40" and "P40 Pro" have already been sold overseas since April.The top model "P40 PRO+" will be released in June with a powerful model of a 5 -eye camera including 10 times periscope camera.

The P40 series is designed to be independent with the camera part lined with lenses and flash in two rows.The appearance has changed dramatically from the P30 series, a flagship camera phone of the previous year.So how did it change?Of the two models currently on sale, we compared the top model P40 PRO and the "P30 Pro" released in Japan.

P40 Pro is 6.58 type (1200 x 2640 pixels), P30 Pro 6.Equipped with a 47 type (1080 x 2340 pixel) display.Most of the recent smartphones have a horizontal direction of 1080 pixels, but the P40 Pro has the number of pixels in both vertical and horizontal.The body size is 72 for P40 Pro.6 (width) x 158.2 (height) x 8.95 (depth) MM, P30 Pro 73.4 (width) x 158 (height) x 8.41 (depth) mm, and in fact, P40 Pro is more slim.The P40 PRO has a full display in the upper and lower direction, so it looks more and slender.

The design around the camera is very different, and it feels like the P40 Pro is equipped with a higher -performance camera.The design to put the camera on this rectangle is a recent trend.The P40 PRO also includes the "LEICA" logo here, so it seems that you can enjoy high performance as well as performance.In addition, the camera specification is 50 million pixels + 40 million pixels + 12 million pixels + TOF, P30 PRO is 40 million pixels + 20 million pixels + 8 million pixels + TOF.The camera specification itself is also increasing, so the lens part is also increasing.

By the way, the P40 PRO display uses "Quad-Curve Overflow Display", which is the first in the industry, and not only left and right but also the upper and lower parts are turned on the side.This design has now been followed by many manufacturers since Samsung Electronics has since launched Dual Edge Screen, which bends left and right.The P30 Pro was also a display bent left and right.The bezel width is even narrower because all four sides of the main unit are covered with displays.And with this curved surface, swipe operation from the top and bottom allows you to perform smoothly.

This time, I compared the global model of P40 Pro "Silver Frost".The major difference from the P30 PRO is the process of the back, and the surface is a complex finish that changes the expression depending on how the light hits while suppressing gloss.Moreover, because it is difficult to attach fingerprints, you do not care about fingerprint dirt on the back even if you use it without a case.

By the way, the changes and evolution points on the design from the P30 PRO have changed not only around the camera, 4 sides of the display, and the back treatment, but also in the in -camera.The P40 PRO adopts a punch hall design that embeds a dual camera with a TOF in addition to 32 million pixels in the upper left of the display.The in -camera can easily take pictures with blurred blur, and it has become stronger for face authentication.

Nevertheless, the long in -camera next to this is a bit of a strong presence.So, I compared it with the "Galaxy S10+" with a dual camera on the front.Galaxy S10+is a combination of 10 million pixels+TOF (8 million pixels).Comparing both, the P40 Pro part is twice as large as the camera.It may be the result of improving the camera image quality, but the size may be somewhat noticeable.

Next, I compared the design of the out camera part.In Japan, the Galaxy S20 5G has the same shape, but the Galaxy S20 5G is a three -eye camera and has no periscope lens, so the camera is small.If you compare, the top model "Galaxy S20 ULTRA" is suitable.

The P40 series has been in the launch of Japan at this time.The 5x telephoto periscope camera is a new generation, and the camera specs are much higher than the P30 Pro.Because it supports 5G, I would like to expect sales via a carrier.
