As technology enthusiasts, we always look for the latest and greatest smartphones. Today, we compare two of the most highly anticipated devices of the year – the Huawei Mate 50 Pro and the Samsung S23 Ultra. Both these smartphones are designed to deliver superior performance and outstanding features. However, our research shows that the Huawei Mate 50 Pro outshines the Samsung S23 Ultra in several ways. Mainly in the drop test. In this article, we will dive deep into the features of both these devices and explain why the Huawei Mate 50 Pro is a better choice.
Design and Display
The Huawei Mate 50 Pro features a stunning 6.8-inch OLED display with a 2772 x 1344 pixels resolution. The display is HDR10+ certified, offering a wider color gamut and a higher dynamic range. The phone has an in-display fingerprint sensor and a sleek design that is elegant and functional. On the other hand, the Samsung S23 Ultra features a 6.8-inch Dynamic AMOLED display with a resolution of 3200 x 1440 pixels. Although the display is bright and vivid, it lacks the HDR10+ certification that the Huawei Mate 50 Pro offers.
Camera
The camera is one of the most important features of a smartphone, and both the Huawei Mate 50 Pro and the Samsung S23 Ultra deliver exceptional camera performance. However, our research shows that the Huawei Mate 50 Pro offers a better camera setup. The device features a quad-camera setup with a 50 MP primary camera, a 64 MP telephoto camera, a 13 MP ultra-wide camera, and a 40 MP monochrome camera. The phone also has a 3D ToF sensor for improved depth sensing. The Samsung S23 Ultra, on the other hand, features a triple-camera setup with a 108 MP primary camera, a 10 MP periscope telephoto camera, and a 12 MP ultra-wide camera. While the Samsung S23 Ultra does offer a higher megapixel count, the Huawei Mate 50 Pro’s camera setup is more versatile and offers better low-light performance.
Performance
Regarding performance, the Huawei Mate 50 Pro and the Samsung S23 Ultra are both powerhouses. The Huawei Mate 50 Pro is powered by the Kirin 9000E chipset and has 8GB of RAM, while the Samsung S23 Ultra is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 chipset and has 12GB of RAM. Both devices offer exceptional performance and can handle demanding tasks with ease. However, our research shows that the Huawei Mate 50 Pro offers a smoother and more seamless user experience, thanks to Huawei’s highly optimized EMUI 12 software.
Battery Life
Battery life is a crucial aspect of any smartphone, and the Huawei Mate 50 Pro offers a significant advantage over the Samsung S23 Ultra. The device features a massive 5000mAh battery that can last up to two days on a single charge. It also supports 66W fast charging and 50W wireless charging, making it one of the fastest-charging smartphones on the market. The Samsung S23 Ultra features a 5000mAh battery that supports 25W fast charging and 15W wireless charging.
The Drop Test
The Huawei Mate 50 Pro and the Samsung S23 Ultra were dropped from 6 feet onto a concrete surface in the drop test. The phones were dropped in various positions to simulate real-world drops, including flat on the screen, on the back, and in the corners.
The screen of smartphones is the most expensive and vulnerable part, and manufacturers provide extra protection, but users still opt for screen protectors. Corning’s Gorilla Glass Victus 2 is stronger than its predecessor but not enough to make users skip screen protectors. In a drop test video, the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra’s Gorilla Glass Victus 2 protection failed, cracking the screen on the waist-high drop test. The back glass performed even worse. The test results were disappointing, and manufacturers should perform such tests before giving assurances.
After the drop test, the Huawei Mate 50 Pro came out on top without cracks or damage to the phone. Meanwhile, the Samsung S23 Ultra suffered from significant cracks and damage to both the front and back of the phone, making it unusable.
In conclusion, our research shows that the Huawei Mate 50 Pro is better than the Samsung S23 Ultra. The device offers a stunning OLED display, a versatile quad-camera setup, exceptional performance, and long-lasting battery life. Additionally, the phone comes with Huawei’s highly optimized EMUI 12 software, which offers a smooth and seamless user experience.
