Huawei Mate 80 Pro Max has the world’s brightest phone screen

The surface uses dual-layer OLED tech to execute the effect.

Huawei has conscionable launched its Mate 80 bid successful China, and the top-spec 80 Pro Max stands retired for a dual-layer OLED show that Huawei says tin deed an unmatched 8,000 nits of highest brightness. The Mate 80 phones are joined by a caller Mate X7 foldable with IP59 dustproofing.

There are 4 Mate 80 phones, but the Pro Max is decidedly the astir exciting. Its 6.9-inch dual-layer OLED surface is said to beryllium exceptionally agleam astatine up to 8,000 nits — much than the 7,000 nits boasted by Realme successful its caller GT 8 Pro, and acold supra the 3,300 nits claimed by the Pixel 10 Pro. There’s a large caveat to that: highest brightness figures lone bespeak however agleam part of the surface tin get successful definite conditions, and don’t needfully bespeak real-world usage. But it inactive means you’d expect this sheet to get brighter than most, which is important if you unrecorded determination sunnier than I do, and Huawei says the opposition should beryllium fantabulous too.

All of the Mate 80 phones person moved to level screens and squared-off sides, continuing a inclination that’s seen astir each telephone institution determination distant from curves. The designs are absorbing otherwise, with a salient ellipse connected the rear to item wherever the phone’s wireless charging coils are, which combines with the circular camera module to lucifer an eight. 

The 3 phones are powered by Huawei’s ain Kirin chips, and spell up to 20GB of RAM successful the Mate 80 RS Ultimate Design, which is mostly the aforesaid telephone arsenic the Pro Max, but with immoderate plan flourishes to warrant an adjacent higher terms tag. Curiously, Huawei hasn’t followed its home rivals successful the big artillery race, capping retired astatine a comparatively humble 6,000mAh successful the Pro Max. The cameras stay a selling constituent though, with dual periscope lenses successful the apical model, positive enactment for an add-on telephoto extender kit, which seems to beryllium all the rage these days.

The caller Mate X7 foldable, Huawei’s Galaxy Z Fold rival, besides got an announcement. Its biggest upgrade is IP58 and IP59 particulate and h2o protection, astir matching the IP68 dustproofing of the Pixel 10 Pro Fold. It’s besides been upgraded with a larger 5,600mAh battery, bigger screens, and the accustomed upgrades to chipset and camera specs. 

This was a large motorboat for Huawei. Alongside the 5 phones the institution announced caller products crossed smartwatches, tablets, laptops, earbuds, TVs, and routers. They’re each lone disposable successful China for now, though immoderate products are apt to get constricted planetary launches successful the future.
