Huawei's new smartphone "Huawei Mate 40 Pro".Even if Google Services can no longer be installed, smartphone development has been continued, and it features a fulfilling camera function.This time, I have a chance to try the global version, so I will send you a review.
Mate 40 Pro is Huawei's high -end smartphone 6.Equipped with 76 inches (2,722 x 1,344 pixels) FHD+organic EL display.The SoC uses Huawei KIRIN 9000, the memory is 8GB and the storage is 256GB.The OS is an Android 10 -based EMUI 11.It is 0.
The large display is an edge display with a very steep angle.The full screen feeling increases when the display covers the entire side, but it is easy to touch the screen when gripped, and sometimes it tends to malfunction.
As a function that makes use of this edge, you can operate the volume by swiping the area above half of the screen of the edge part with a double touch.There is a volume button on the right side of the main unit, but it is easy to change the volume when holding it with the left hand.It is a little subtle when it is said that it is easy to use, but if you look for the volume button and press it, you can prevent it from the power button.
The gesture function is equipped with "Air Gesture".Sprinkle the palm toward the in -camera, shake up and down to scroll, volume operation, and swing left and right to send the page.If you hold the palm and hold the fist, you will be able to perform screenshots, pressing your palms, pause in music, and responding to the call for incoming calls.
[Video] Air gesture video.When you recognize the palm or the back of the hand, the palm mark is displayed on the screen.So you can use various gestures by waving or holding your hand.
The reaction of the air gesture is not bad and the recognition accuracy is good, but it is a pity that the page sending on the left and right is "only galleries and e -books".It would have been more convenient to be able to return and proceed with a web browser.E -books are only standard apps, for example, even if you try to read e -books at third -party eBookJapan, you will not be able to send pages with left and right gestures.Similarly, the app is limited to the volume operation.
Mate 40 Pro's body size is 162.9 x width 75.5 x depth 9.It is 1mm, weighs about 212g, which is a large body.The screen size is large, so if you understand these points, it is not extremely large and heavy.The back is a shiny glass finish (excluding Vegan Leather model).Personally, I don't like the body that tends to have fingerprints and the reflection of light tends to be tough, but the texture and feel are good.Because it is not smooth, it feels hard to slip even if you hold it in your hand.On the other hand, it feels slippery when placed on a table.
Since the OS is an open source Android, operability is the same as a normal Android smartphone.However, with Mate 40 Pro, you need a little difficult handling to install the app.
Because Google Mobile Service (GMS) is not available, Google -related apps are not installed and Google Play cannot be used.You will have to install the app from Huawei's App Gallery.
The number of apps published in App Gallery is increasing, and I have the impression that all apps, such as LINE and Navitime, Navitime.Nevertheless, there are a few missing things, and there are no standards, such as Google, Amazon, Adobe, and Netflix.
"Petal search" is prepared as a tool to make up for these points.If you search for the app on the App Gallery, you will find the apps in Google Play in addition to the apps in the App Gallery.If you search for apps not available in App Gallery, you can download the app directly from the outside to follow the link.
Since the OS of the Mate 40 Pro is Android (although it is not equipped with GMS), the application for Android will move as it is.It is a half -aged way to install the app directly from the outside using it.
In the Android environment, app installation from non -official app distribution, such as Google Play, is not recommended.Petal search is also positioned as "self -responsibility".The app is distributed on the APK MONK site.It is up to the individual's responsibility to trust this site, and I can not judge it, so it is safer to avoid using it if you are worried.
