Today Huawei announced the new Nova 6 series composed of three variants: Nova 6, 6SE and 6 5G. After releasing the Huawei Nova 6 5G, the Chinese giant became the company with the highest number of 5G-enabled devices alongside Samsung. Just a few days ago the company even launched the Honor V30 Pro which carries 5G connectivity through an integrated modem. Another 5G device you can currently find in the same range is the Xiaomi Mi 9 Pro 5G. Are you wondering which Huawei 5G affordable flagship is the best or if you should opt for another brand such as Xiaomi? This comparison will clear your ideas.

Huawei Nova 6 5G vs Huawei Honor V30 Pro 5G vs Xiaomi Mi 9 Pro 5G

Design

In my opinion, Huawei Nova 6 5G offers the most stunning design. Thanks to the punch-hole display, Huawei got rid of the notch and made a full bezel-less device without interruptions. Honor V30 Pro adopts the same solution, but it is slightly thicker and it has a rectangle-shaped camera module on the back which I do not like (and maybe a lot of other people as well). On the other hand, Xiaomi Mi 9 Pro 5G offers a more compact body and an amazing build quality thanks to a 7000 series aluminum frame and a Gorilla Glass 6 back. Which one would you pick?

Display

While Huawei Nova 6 5G and Honor V30 Pro both come with an awesome punch-hole design, their display quality is not the best you would expect from a flagship smartphone. Xiaomi Mi 9 Pro 5G is a definitely better option. It has a smaller display, but it offers a richer image quality thanks to DCI P3 coverage and HDR10 technology. Further, it is a Super AMOLED display, while Huawei Nova 6 5G and Honor V30 Pro are equipped with IPS panels. On the paper, the display of the Huawei Nova 6 5G is superior to the Honor V30 Pro. But in this case, you only get a marginal difference.

Hardware/Software

When it comes to the hardware, it is worth making a distinction between performance and 5G performance, given that 5G is the key feature of these handsets. If we talk about performance such as speed and smoothness, Xiaomi Mi 9 Pro 5G is superior since it is equipped with a better Snapdragon 855+ SoC. There is even a better memory configuration with up to 12 GB of RAM and 512 GB of internal storage. But the chipset does not come bundled with an integrated 5G modem and it uses an independent 5G modem. The Kirin 990 found on the Huawei nova 6 5G and Honor V30 Pro has an integrated 5G modem offering better connectivity and less energy consumption.

Camera

If you care about having an amazing camera phone, then you should not choose the Xiaomi Mi 9 Pro 5G. Instead, go for the Honor V30 Pro without thinking twice. It has better rear cameras including a 40 MP main sensor, OIS, 3x optical zoom and a higher resolution for the ultrawide lens (compared to the Huawei Nova 6 5G). Huawei Nova 6 5G and Honor V30 Pro have the same dual front camera department. According to DxOMark, Huawei Nova 6 5G is actually the best selfie phone.

Battery

Similar battery capacities, but not identical. Huawei Nova 6 5G has a bigger 4200 mAh but it is not said that it will last more: we’ll have to test it in order to give you a definitive thought. A definitely more important thing: Huawei Nova 6 5G does not support wireless charging and reverse wireless charging, while Honor V30 Pro and Xiaomi Mi 9 Pro 5G do.

Price

Huawei Nova 6 5G and Honor V30 Pro debuted in China with prices starting from €486/$540 and €500/$555 respectively. Xiaomi Mi 9 Pro 5G starts from €469/$520. At the end of the day, I would recommend the Honor V30 Pro due to its better camera department, integrated 5G modem, and amazing selfie cameras. It is more convincing than Huawei Nova 6 5G, despite it has a slightly worse display. But Xiaomi Mi 9 Pro 5G wins when it comes to display quality and performance.

The post Huawei Nova 6 5G vs Honor V30 Pro 5G vs Xiaomi Mi 9 Pro 5G: Specs Comparison appeared first on Gizmochina.

If you thought you still need a huge amount of money to get a 5G smartphone, you were wrong. At the moment, there are several smartphones with the support to 5th generation networks available at modest prices, at least in the Asian market. We are not talking about very affordable devices: they are still flagships, but they are affordable flagships. The latest ones are Xiaomi Mi 9 Pro 5G, Lenovo Z6 Pro 5G, and Vivo iQOO Pro 5G. You can get all of them for less than €500 in China and they offer flagship-class performance for such a low price. But which one is the best and which has the highest value for money? Answering these questions is the reason why we decided to write this specs comparison.

Lenovo Z6 Pro 5G vs Xiaomi Mi 9 Pro 5G vs Vivo iQOO Pro 5G

Design

In my personal opinion, Lenovo Z6 Pro 5G has the most impressive design due to its amazing transparent back. But the Xiaomi Mi 9 Pro 5G comes with a better build quality since its frame is made of aluminum 7000 series and its glass back is protected by Gorilla Glass 6 that is the latest version of Corning’s protection. Vivo iQOO Pro 5G is a smartphone meant for gamers, but it does not have a so gaming-centric design, unlike other gaming phones. Lenovo Z6 Pro 5G is the lightest device, while Xiaomi Mi 9 Pro 5G is slightly thinner and smaller. Yet I prefer the Lenovo Z6 Pro 5G for its transparent back, but that is only about personal tastes.

Display

Lenovo Z6 Pro 5G and Xiaomi Mi 9 Pro 5G have a better display than Vivo iQOO Pro 5G since they offer a higher image quality. Both have a high DCI P3 coverage and they even support HDR10, while Vivo iQOO Pro 5G does not. The advantage of the iQOO Pro 5G is a slightly wider display diagonal which often makes gamers and productivity users happier. But image quality is definitely more important, given that we are talking about just 0.02 inches of difference. Between Xiaomi Mi 9 Pro 5G and Lenovo Z6 Pro 5G, there are just marginal differences in the image quality.

Hardware/Software

Xiaomi Mi 9 Pro 5G takes the gold medal in the hardware comparison since it sports the most powerful Qualcomm’s chipset, the highest amount of RAM and a higher amount of internal storage, at least in the most expensive configuration. Both Xiaomi Mi 9 Pro 5G and Vivo iQOO Pro 5G are fueled by the Snapdragon 855+ chipset, but only the Xiaomi Mi 9 Pro 5G has internal storage up to 512 GB. Lenovo Z6 Pro 5G has up to 512 GB as well, but it packs the older Snapdragon 855 chipset, so it can not reach the performance of the Xiaomi Mi 9 Pro 5G. In each case, you get Android 9 Pie out of the box and a single-mode Snapdragon X50 5G modem, but only Lenovo Z6 Pro 5G has expandable storage.

Camera

The most performing device in terms of camera quality is the Xiaomi Mi 9 Pro 5G again. It packs a triple camera setup including laser autofocus, 2x optical zoom, and an ultrawide sensor. The Lenovo Z6 Pro 5G is a great camera phone too and it offers a better selfie camera. If you need a camera phone, do not choose the Vivo iQOO Pro 5G.

Battery

Vivo iQOO Pro 5G has the biggest battery and it lasts more on a single charge, which is very important for gamers since this is a gaming phone. But Xiaomi Mi 9 Pro 5G is the only to support wireless charging and reverse wireless charging.

Price

Lenovo Z6 Pro 5G is currently on sale for €424/$471 making it the cheapest 5G phone in China, Xiaomi Mi 9 Pro 5G’s price starts from €470/$520, and Vivo iQOO Pro 5G costs about €485/$538 in India. Overall, Xiaomi Mi 9 Pro 5G is the most complete device due to the support to wireless charging and reverse wireless charging, better build quality, and better hardware. But Lenovo Z6 Pro 5G is currently the best buy due to its extremely affordable price.

5G is the next technology frontier and ignoring it is not a wise choice. Did you ever wonder whether you should spend more to buy a 5G-enabled smartphone or stick to 4G for a few years more? It mostly depends on the zone where you live and on your connectivity-related needs. But if you are one of those advanced users who need a 5G phone, you currently have several choices. After Samsung with the Galaxy Note 10+ 5G and Huawei with the Mate 30 Pro 5G, even Xiaomi launched a 5G-enabled flagship in 2019: it is the Mi 9 Pro 5G which even carries a pretty affordable price if we compare it with other 5G phones. Here you will find a specs comparison analyzing their specifications.

Huawei Mate 30 Pro 5G vs Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ 5G vs Xiaomi Mi 9 Pro 5G

Design

The Horizon display of the Huawei Mate 30 Pro 5G makes its design simply amazing. It is a panel with extremely curved sides which makes you forget the wide notch. Thanks to the curved bezels allowing the presence of a side touch area, Huawei Mate 30 Pro 5G does not have any physical key, and this makes it even more attractive. Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ 5G is a very big phablet and for this reason, it is not comfortable for everyone, but it still comes with a very elegant and innovative design. The punch-hole display makes the bezels very narrow and the overall design is very minimal. Special features: while Huawei Mate 30 Pro 5G supports a 3D facial recognition system, Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ 5G has the S Pen.

Display

The best display belongs to the Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ 5G: not only it has the biggest panel, but it even carries the highest resolution: Quad HD+ with 1440 x 3040 pixels. It is also the only device of this trio to support the HDR10+ standard which guarantees a better performance with multimedia content thanks to richer colors and a wide dynamic range. And it even supports the S Pen with Bluetooth integration which can be used for handwriting, drawing and as a remote controller.

Hardware/Software

Xiaomi Mi 9 Pro 5G wins the hardware award since it sports the most powerful processor and it has the fastest performance. It is powered by the Snapdragon 855+ chipset and it comes with up to 12 GB of RAM, which is the perfect couple for every advanced activity. The second place goes to Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ which carries a different chipset depending on the region (either the Snapdragon 855 or the Exynos 9825) paired with 12 GB of RAM. Note that Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ has Android 9 Pie out of the box, while its rivals already come with Android 10. The 5G connectivity is better on the Huawei Mate 30 Pro 5G as the Kirin 990 chipset is the first one with an integrated 5G modem and it can reach up to 6.5 Gbps of download speed thanks to mm waves.

Camera

Huawei Mate 30 Pro 5G is the absolute winner when it comes to cameras. It is equipped with a rear quad camera including two 40 MP sensors, 3x optical zoom, OIS, and a 3D TOF camera. But it loses when it comes to selfies: there, Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ 5G is a lot more satisfying. If you need a top camera phone, just do not go for the Xiaomi Mi 9 Pro 5G, it lacks OIS and it does not differ so much from the Mi 9.

Battery

Huawei Mate 30 Pro 5G has the biggest battery and we believe it will last more not only for this reason, but also because it has a very efficient chipset built at 7nm+, and just a Full HD display, unlike the Galaxy Note 10+ 5G. It even has a very fast charging technology and reverse wireless charging.

Price

The starting price of Huawei Mate 30 Pro 5G is about €900/$990, Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ 5G starts from €1200/$1300 and Xiaomi Mi 9 Pro 5G costs just €600/$658. At the end of the day, I define Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ 5G a slightly more advanced device for power users due to its better display and the support to S Pen, but Huawei Mate 30 Pro 5G offers a better camera experience and likely a longer-lasting battery. Note that this comparison was only based on the specs on the paper as we have to wait for all the devices to hit the market in order to test them thoroughly. Xiaomi Mi 9 Pro 5G loses the comparison (except when it comes to hardware) but it has a higher value for money.

Xiaomi recently launched two new smartphones in its home market — Mi 9 Pro 5G and Mi MIX Alpha. The Xiaomi Mi 9 Pro 5G became the cheapest 5G smartphone available for purchase in the Chinese market.

Now, the company has officially shared the teardown images of the Mi 9 Pro 5G, revealing what’s inside the smartphone and how certain things work, such as the liquid cooling technology.

When the device is opened up, you see that there’s a 30W custom chip for wireless charging support as well as a larger area for heat dissipation graphite embedded in the motherboard.

Further, it seems that the phone is sealed airtight thanks to the camera edge foam sealing. As for the camera sensors, there’s a 48-megapixel primary sensor from Sony, combined with a 12-megapixel portrait lens and a 16-megapixel super wide-angle lens. On the front side, you get a 20-megapixel snapper with support for AI-based beautification features.

The Mi 9 Pro 5G comes with a motherboard with a two-layer stacked design which carries the newly introduced 5G baseband and RF chip. The company has also used a 10 x 10 x 3.5 horizontal linear motor that can offer 10ms startup and braking time for a sensitive feedback when clicked. It is claimed to offer more than 100 different types of vibration effects to distinguish one from another.

The smartphone also has a 1.04cc large sound cavity for offering maximum loudness from the device without affecting the clarity or quality. The device is powered by a 4,000mAh battery, which covers up majority of the phone’s internal space.

As for the cooling system, it has a super large VC soaking plate that comes with 5 layers of graphite, high conductivity copper foil and thermal gel for an efficient dimensional cooling system. As per Xiaomi, using this system, the core temperature of the smartphone can be reduced by 10.2-degree which aims to meet the cooling needs for the 5G era.

The Xiaomi Mi 9 Pro 5G is the upgraded version of the Snapdragon 855 powered Xiaomi Mi 9 flagship phone that was announced in February this year. It comes equipped with a full HD+ resolution supporting S-AMOLED display of 6.4-inch, a tall aspect ratio of 19.5:9 aspect ratio and the phone also comes with an in-screen fingerprint reader.

It is powered by the faster 2.96GHz Snapdragon 855+ mobile platform with up to 12GB of RAM and 512GB of internal storage, without support for expandable storage. The rear side of the phone features a Sony IMX586 48-megapixel triple camera setup that includes a 12-megapixel telephoto lens and a 16-megapixel superwide lens. It has a front-facing camera of 20-megapixel. The front and rear cameras are borrowed from the Xiaomi Mi 9 handset.

The smartphone is running MIUI 11 based on Android 9 Pie operating system. The device has a 4,000mAh battery that comes with support for some exciting features like 40W wired charging, 30W wireless charging and 10W reverse charging.

During the Mi Mix Alpha 5G launch event, Xiaomi also announced the Mi 9 Pro 5G. The phone’s pricing makes it the cheapest 5G flagship around and that was reflected in the performance of its sale today. All available units were sold out in a matter of seconds. We’ve got some cool unboxing pictures of the Mi 9 Pro 5G for your delight.

The smartphone is unarguably a beauty to behold even though we may be getting tired of seeing almost the same notch design on phone over and over again. Notwithstanding, Xiaomi tweaked the phone with several interesting stuff like a new paint job which adds class to the overall outlook. The device also comes with a slimmer build which meant the 3.5mm audio jack is missing. The phone uses a Type-C charging port which delivers faster charging. It also comes with an IR blaster and dual SIM slots but we believe the second SIM slot is a 4G slot.

Xiaomi will be launching the Xiaomi Mi 9 Pro 5G and Mi MIX Alpha smartphones in China today. Ahead of the launch, real images of the Mi 9 5G Pro have appeared on Weibo to reveal its appeal. The handset will be arriving as the most powerful smartphone in the Mi 9 series.

As it can be seen in the new images, the overall design of the Xiaomi Mi 9 Pro 5G is not different from Mi 9. The rear side of the phone has a gradient color and it appears quite similar to the More Than White color edition of the Xiaomi Mi A3 smartphone. The display of the phone features a waterdrop notch. The chin of the device is not very thick which indicates that it may offers a screen space of around 90 percent.

The new images have also revealed some of the specs of the Mi 9 Pro 5G. It is a Snapdragon 855+ mobile platform powered flagship phone that is fitted with a Sony 48-megapixel superwide angle triple camera system and it carries support for 30W fast charging. It comes with dual SIM dual standby.

The Mi 9 Pro 5G variant that is shown in the leaked images has 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of built-in storage. It is running on MIUI 10.4.1 based Android 9 Pie OS. It could be one of the first phones from the company to receive the upcoming MIUI 11 upgrade.

Rumors surrounding it has revealed that it will be arriving in two variants such as 8 GB RAM + 256 GB storage and 12 GB RAM + 256 GB storage models in China. The above shown model could be called Dream White. Its black variant could be dubbed as Titanium Black. A leaked poster that had surfaced yesterday on Weibo claimed that it may come with a base model of 8 GB RAM + 128 GB storage that may carry a price tag of 3,599 Yuan.

“The future of smartphones is coming…tomorrow!” That is the rider with which Xiaomi is promoting the scheduled September 24 launch event on its official YouTube channel. The Chinese tech giant is expected to go ballistic with its 5G products as it launches not one but two 5G smartphones – the Mi MIX 5G and Mi 9 Pro. Not only that, the tech giant will also announce the next version of its custom Android skin – MIUI 11.

Three years ago when Xiaomi launched the Mi Mix, the smartphone revolutionized the industry with its spectacular full-screen, bezel-less design. The tech giant may once again be looking to revolutionize the industry with the Mi MIX 5G which may likely launch as Mi Mix Alpha. The device would have been launched as the Mi Mix 4 but for a cour ruling which bars the firm from using the MIX moniker.
