HUAWEI's "P40 series" went on sale on June 8, 2020. In particular, the series of cameras with recognized performance, in the Japanese market, together with the high-end model "HUAWEI P40 Pro 5G" (hereinafter referred to as P40 Pro), deal with intermediate-level "HUAWEI P40lite5G" (hereinafter referred to as P40lite5G) and cheap smartphone "HUAWEI P40lite E" (hereinafter referred to as P40lite E).
At the same time, the three models on sale on the same day have different prices, and they always feel that "the performance of Pro is the best." "although it's easy to make such an impression, there are a lot of people who don't know the difference. Therefore, let's actually try these three "magic machines" that are not artifacts, and introduce their respective characteristics and sense of use.
3 models of HUAWEI P40 series, introducing their characteristics and differences
So, let's introduce the characteristics and differences of the P40 series found after the actual attempt.

The screen size of the P40 Pro is about 6.58 inches, the P40 lite 5G is about 6.5 inches, and the P40 lite E is about 6.39 inches. All three models can be said to be the size of a large display screen, but they are characterized by the fact that the P40 Pro with a larger display size is smaller than the P40lite5G in both vertical and horizontal dimensions. This is because the P40 Pro uses a very fine frame and a curved left and right side of the display. Although there is only a small difference in numbers, the feeling of holding it will be about a circle smaller.
Of course, the sense of size of the Noumenon is the main point of different preferences, but as an adult male, as a writer with small hands, the completion of the P40 Pro, which is easy to hold although it is a big picture, is very happy. The higher the resolution of the monitor, the higher the resolution, but unless you play online games such as FPS, which are important in picture quality, you won't feel so different.

There are also differences in color changes. The P40 Pro is divided into "Silver Frost" and "Black", P40lite5G is divided into "Space Silver", "collapse Green" and "Midnight Black", and P40lite E is divided into "Midnight Black" and "Aurora Blue". The two colors of the P40 Pro are advanced metal monochrome bodies, while the P40lite5G and P40lite E use a gradual color, which is also a feature of HUAWEI's smartphones, with an auroral fantasy body.
It can be said that the biggest difference among the three models is the camera performance. The P40 Pro is equipped with four lenses jointly developed with German camera and other optical equipment manufacturer Leica, and consists of "about 50 million pixel super wide-angle camera", "about 12 million pixel super sensor telephoto camera", "about 40 million pixel ultra-wide-angle cinema camera", "3D depth-of-field camera", All cameras have good balance and high performance.
P40lite5G also has four lenses, but this is not co-developed with Leica, but made by its own company. However, for many years, the technical ability of making lenses with Leica is very high, which consists of "about 8 million pixel ultra-wide-angle camera", "about 64 million pixel main camera", "about 2 million pixel depth of field camera" and "about 2 million pixel micro camera". With regard to the main lens, the resolution exceeds P40 Pro.
As a cheap model, P40lite E is composed of three lenses of "about 48 million pixels", "about 8 million pixels" and "about 2 million pixels". Considering the cheap model of about 20, 000 yen, it should be quite high performance.

All three models are equipped with HUAWEI high-performance camera AI, which can automatically adjust the image quality according to different scenes, regardless of the photographer's arm, can take beautiful pictures.
In addition, the high-end P40 Pro also includes the ability to delete up to 2 passers-by in the photo, as well as the ability to delete objects transferred to the glass, including well-balanced high-performance lenses. This makes people feel the completion of carrying the most advanced technology.
"automatically detects what the subject looks like.
For the chips related to the processing power of smartphones, P40 Pro is "HUAWEI Kirin990 5G SoC eight cores", P40 lite 5G is "HUAWEI Kirin820 eight cores", and P40 lite E is "HUAWEI Kirin710F eight cores". As you know, the larger the number, the higher the performance, the higher the processing performance. The top P40 Pro uses smooth movements that do not feel pressure, and high response stress is very attractive.
Of course, this is not to say that P40lite5G and P40lite E with low numbers are not good, these two terminals usually run without problems. Although the performance requirements vary depending on what you do with your phone, P40lite E will be fully satisfied for general purposes such as Web search, SNS, phone and email.
Although it is a subtle point, it is rare in this series, and the locations of fingerprint authentication sensors are different. The P40 Pro supports the "in-picture fingerprint authentication" of the built-in sensor in the display screen. The P40lite5G takes the form of a built-in sensor in the power button on the right side of the main body, and P40lite E has a sensor near the center on the back of the main body. No matter which model, the sensitivity of the sensor is very good, and the phone can be turned on soon. In addition, the three models also correspond to the unlocking based on facial authentication.
The built-in speakers in the lower part of the body are universal, the P40 Pro and P40lite5G are USB Type-C, and P40lite E is in micro USB format. In addition, the P40lite5G and P40lite E are equipped with headphone jacks.
All three models have high performance-to-price ratio.
This time, we compared the three models of the P40 series that went on sale on the same day. The P40 Pro is about 120000 yen, the P40 lite 5G is about 40,000 yen, and the P40 lite E is about 25,000 yen. In particular, 40,000 yen corresponds to 5G P40lite 5G and 20,000 yen while equipped with triple lens P40lite E, which can be said to be the completion of price destruction.
Although only so many three models have been completed, we should not forget that they do not correspond to "GMS (Google Mobile Service)". Although LINE, Facebook and other applications are already supported and can be used, applications such as games are still dwarfed by the Google Play store.
However, if you install the Amazon App Store provided by Amazon, in some cases, there are no Japanese-specific apps included in AppGallery. Although you cannot use the Google series of applications, the fullness of the applications will increase, please make sure.
Although there are corresponding topics on the number of applications, there is no problem with the completion of the three models as smartphones, and all of them are used, so they are operable without feeling the pressure, so "it's not because this application is not good!" "if you don't have such a strong insistence, you must recommend the product.
