The highly anticipated Mate70 series has finally been launched, and Huawei fans are thrilled.
This Mate70 comes with a new chip, the Kirin 9020, and offers a choice of systems: HarmonyOS 4.3 or the Mate70 Pro HarmonyOS NEXT Pioneer Edition. Users can also instantly upgrade to HarmonyOS NEXT upon unboxing.
It can be said that this Mate70 truly meets all expectations from chip to system, black technology, and functionality, making it the most powerful one in history.
However, some claim that based on benchmark scores, there is a gap between the Kirin 9020 and current top-tier 3nm chips like the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite, A18 Pro, and MediaTek Dimensity 9400, suggesting this as the only weakness.
But I argue that the Kirin 9020 is not a weakness; rather, it is Huawei Mate70's greatest strength. Where does the notion of a weakness come from?
Firstly, benchmark scores are one thing, and user experience is another. The experience of a smartphone depends on the SoC performance but also on system optimization and the coordination of all phone functions.
Currently, chips are becoming increasingly powerful, but how many people truly utilize their full potential? Most people only use their phones for messaging, social media, and phone calls. For such usage, even a 3nm chip operating at just 30% capacity would suffice.
Even for light gaming, chips from three or four years ago are sufficient. So don't judge performance solely by benchmark scores; that mindset is outdated.
Huawei Mate70 is currently the only domestic smartphone that uses a domestically developed chip. All other domestic smartphones use Qualcomm or MediaTek chips, none of which are self-developed.
Huawei Mate70 is also the only domestic smartphone that can bid farewell to the Android ecosystem. After upgrading to HarmonyOS NEXT, it operates entirely within the domestic HarmonyOS ecosystem, having no connection to Android.
Therefore, Huawei Mate70 should also be the most reassuring smartphone for everyone. There should be no backdoors in the chip or system, so everyone can use it with confidence.
All of this is made possible by the Kirin 9020. Could this be achieved with Qualcomm or MediaTek chips? I doubt it.
For users, don't let others sway your opinion. What we should focus on is not benchmark scores but the actual user experience. Look at the feedback: from Mate60 to Pura70, no one has complained about insufficient chip performance. The experience has been top-notch, and the more powerful Mate70 will be no exception.
