Huawei Matebook 14 2020 Review

0

Huawei has been aggressive in bringing their latest notebook offerings here in the country and the latest one to arrive here is the Huawei Matebook 14 2020 that comes with a Ryzen 4000H series processor which is the first Ryzen 4000 series-rocking notebook from Huawei to arrive in the Philippines

Huawei Matebook 14 (2020) Review: Design and hardware

One of the features that I love about Huawei Matebooks is its design. All of the Matebooks that we’ve reviewed are premium and their build quality is really good and the Huawei Matebook 14 (2020) is no exception as we got here an aluminum alloy build which is really solid and premium.

Unlike the other more premium and more expensive Matebooks, this one has a thicker body at 15.9mm and there’s a 1.38kg weight on this one but if you ask me, I think that’s fair considering that this one has a different chipset inside that is pretty powerful.

The lid of the Huawei Matebook 14 (2020) does feature a clean look with only the Huawei logo in the center just like their other notebooks. If you open the lid, you can notice the clean look of the notebook with the power button on the upper right that also acts as the fingerprint scanner of the notebook that you can use for Windows Hello

As for the ports, this one comes with 2x USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A and then there’s the single USB-C port that can also be used for charging and I find it a little bit lacking that there’s only a single USB-C port on this one since most manufacturers are now opting for USB-C on their devices. There’s the HDMI port too and also the audio combo jack. Unfortunately, we’re missing here a card reader so this notebook isn’t the best when it comes to ports.

For the webcam, the notebook features a recessed camera that is hidden in the keyboard. It might help in minimizing the bezel on the display of the Huawei Matebook 14 (2020) and it adds to the privacy as you can only be used when you press it however, the angle of the webcam isn’t just ideal especially these days where most of us are working at home. The webcam’s placement really focuses and highlights your chin which makes it weird when you’re having calls on Zoom.

Huawei Matebook 14 (2020) Review: Keyboard and trackpad

The notebook comes with a chiclet-style keyboard and I can feel that there’s a short travel distance on this one but I feel that the notebook needs more actuation and it’s too soft. It’s not too mushy for me and typing on this one will be just fine but I wish it was as good as the Matebook X Pro 2020. There’s the two-level backlit keyboard too in case you want to work at night.

For the trackpad, the size is just enough and it is quite responsive in my usage. It does support multi-touch and thanks to the Windows Precision support for this one, navigating and using the trackpad of the Huawei Matebook 14 (2020) was really fine to use.

One of the minor changes that they’ve done on this notebook is that they’ve moved the Huawei Share to the trackpad of the notebook so there’s no Huawei Share sticker on the notebook anymore and instead, you need to place your Huawei smartphone on the trackpad to connect to the notebook with Huawei Share.

Huawei Matebook 14 (2020) Review: Display

One of the biggest features of the Huawei Matebook 14 2020 is the display of the notebook. We got here a 14” IPS display with a 2K resolution and the bezels on this one is really thin which is why we got here a 90% screen-to-body ratio and holding this notebook feels like it has a 13-inch display instead of a 14-inch one.

Aside from that, there’s the 3:2 display aspect ratio on this one and personally, I prefer that one as I can have a taller window when using the notebook with two windows side-by-side which makes me more productive.  Using the Huawei Matebook 14 2020 outside was good and the viewing angles was fine and the outdoor visibility of the display was good.

There’s 300 nits of brightness too which is quite excellent as it is still bright even when using it outside and then there’s the 100% sRGB color gamut too which is why the colors that we’re getting on the display of the notebook was good.

One thing is missing on this notebook though – the touchscreen display for the PH variant.

Huawei Matebook 14 2020 Review: Software

The Huawei Matebook 14 2020 runs on Windows 10 Home and since a lot of people are asking me about this: YES, GOOGLE WORKS ON THIS ONE. You can still access google.com and their services and you can install applications like Microsoft Office on this one.

As for the softwares that comes pre-installed on this one, there were only a few and then there’s the PC Manager which is an app for your notebook in where you can easily update your notebook’s drivers in just one click.

There’s the Huawei Share too like I mentioned earlier and you can do multi-screen collaboration on this one as long as you have a Huawei smartphone that supports this feature. With this feature, you can mirror the display of your smartphone to the notebook so you don’t have to get your smartphone whenever you need to access your smartphone and sharing files from the smartphone to the PC or the other way around is now easier as you can just drag and drop files with this one.

Huawei Matebook 14 2020 Review: Performance

The performance of this one is my favorite highlight of the Matebook 14 2020. Just to be clear, this notebook isn’t a gaming notebook but it’s very capable of running different apps and games thanks to the AMD Ryzen 5 4600H processor that is paired with 16GB dual-channel 2666MHz RAM and also the fast 512GB PCIe NVMe storage. For the graphics, there’s the Vega graphics inside. Curious about how fast the SSD inside? Check it out below:

In CrystalDiskMark, the benchmarks shows that the notebook can go up to 3424 MB/s on read and 2713 MB/s on write which means that we have an ultra fast SSD on this one which is even faster compared to other notebooks in the market.

In case you’re confused, this one uses the 4000H series chip and not the 4000U chip from AMD which is why this one has a 45W TDP which consumes more power but it does give you more power in different applications such as gaming, photo editing and video editing. This is also the reason why the notebook doesn’t achieve the same thin body of the Matebook X Pro 2020 but hey, at least we’re getting here a powerful chip inside.

As for the power of the AMD Ryzen 5 4600H inside, check out the benchmarks of this one below.

In our benchmarks above, we can clearly see that the AMD Ryzen 5 4600H does have a big advantage compared to its competitor. In multi-core tests and benchmarks, we can see even up to 2x the score especially in Cinebench R20 but with single-core benchmarking apps, the Huawei Matebook 14 2020 can do a hit and miss on that one. In 3D Mark Time Spy, the notebook does have a little bit of advantage.

In Cinebench R20,  the notebook clearly shows that it’s superior in CPU power as we got here a score that’s more than Intel Core i7-7700K CPU that we can find on desktops and even the Intel Xeon CPU X5650.

Basically, the notebook decimates the notebooks with Intel Core i7-10510U and Intel Core 1065G7 chips inside as we can get a really big difference when it comes to performance. We can clearly see that the notebook does have an advantage in multi-core benchmarks.

In gaming, you’ll be surprised to know that the Huawei Matebook 14 (2020) can perform really well and even run some of the latest games in the market at the lowest settings. Check out the benchmarks below:

We’re actually surprised that the notebook was able to run Horizon Zero Dawn at 1024×768. Pushing it to 1280×720 will also give you similar results. It may be able to run the game but don’t expect an enjoyable experience on this one but hey, at least the game runs on this one.

Huawei Matebook 14 2020 Review: Battery

As for the battery, there’s the 56Wh battery and I was expecting that we’ll be getting a short battery life on this one since we’re getting a powerful chip but surprisingly, the Huawei Matebook 14 2020 managed to last up to 5 hours to 6 hours in my average usage of working at 50% brightness.

Huawei Matebook 14 2020 Review: Verdict

Overall, the Huawei Matebook 14 (2020) does offer a powerful and surprising power inside. I didn’t expect that the AMD Ryzen 5 4600H inside this one would perform like this and even beating some of the high-end chips that are available on some of the high-end laptops out there.

Not only that this one is powerful, there’s the beautiful and solid design too and then there’s the 2K display. The battery isn’t disappointing too and actually, the only thing that I didn’t like on this notebook is the lack of touchscreen but the rest? The Matebook 14 (2020) does have an excellent experience.

The Huawei Matebook 14 2020 is now available for Php54,999 and it comes with a free Huawei Classic Backpack worth PHP5,999.

LG Teases Smartphone with a Rollable Display, Rumored To Launch on March 2021

0

LG has two upcoming projects slated for 2021 – Rainbow and B Project. Rainbow is expected to be a classic V-series flagship while B Project will have a rollable screen.

LG Rollable Smartphone Display

LG’s B Project Rollable display is a part of LG’s Explorer Project, which gave us the unconventional LG Wing dual-display smartphone. LG’s B Project will highlight compactness but part of the screen can be rolled out during use in order to have a larger overall screen size.

Apparently, the B Project rollable smartphone has been teased at the end of the LG Wing’s announcement video. LG’s Project Rainbow is expected to be announced by the first quarter of 2021 while the B Project is slated for an announcement in March.

“The Explorer Project will focus solely on new usability that is discovered with innovative designs while LG’s new Universal Line will be the company’s lineup of competitive devices that focus on consumer lifestyles, such as LG VELVET.”

Huawei Y7a Now Official in the Philippines

1

Huawei Philippines has launched its newest smartphone in the country, the Huawei Y7a. It’s the latest mid-range smartphone in the country and it has some of the features that we love on smartphones including the 22.5W Huawei SuperCharge and a 48MP Quad AI Camera.

Huawei Y7a Specs

  • 6.67-inch Full HD+ Display
  • Huawei Kirin 710A Octa-Core Processor
  • 4GB RAM
  • 128GB Internal storage
  • 48MP main camera + 8MP ultra-wide + 2MP depth sensor + 2MP Macro
  • 8MP Selfie Camera
  • WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS, A-GPS
  • LTE
  • side-fingerprint scanner
  • 22.5W Huawei SuperCharge
  • 5000mAh battery
  • EMUI 10.1 based on Android 10

As expected, this one would utilize the Huawei AppGallery for its apps and games and there’s the Kirin 710A processor which is new but it will still probably perform around Kirin 710 that we’ve reviewed earlier on other Huawei smartphones.

The main highlight of these smartphones includes the 22.5W Huawei SuperCharge, the 48MP quad-camera setup, and of course the large 6.67-inch display with a punch-hole selfie camera.

The Huawei Y7a will be available for Php8,999 and it’s now available for pre-order. You can get freebies worth Php6,391 including a Bluetooth headset, mobile game vouchers, and other member center rewards when you pre-order the smartphone.

Huawei Watch Fit Review

0

Huawei has launched a lot of new wearables this year but this is my favorite one, the Huawei Watch Fit. Why? Well, because this one got everything that I need on a wearable device. We got here a long battery life, a perfect workout companion, and a large display that can really make a difference compared to other wearable devices.

Huawei Watch Fit features a large 1.64-inch AMOLED display and it’s one of my favorite feature on this device. Unlike the popular Watch GT 2 series of smartwatches of Huawei, this one is a rectangular display with a 280×456 HD resolution and with the Huawei Watch Fit’s large display, I can have larger area for viewing content and notifications of the Watch Fit without the need for scrolling.

And since this one uses an AMOLED display, using it even at direct sunlight won’t be a problem and it’s actually pretty damn good compared to most smartwatches that are available in the market right now in its price range.

Since we got here a large display, the content that can be displayed and also the watchface can have a larger space for content and watchfaces that are available on the smartwatch is a lot.

The Huawei Watch Fit features a textured matte frame look on the sides and below the watchface is a plastic black matte body that houses the different sensors that you can use for the heart rate sensor and SpO2 sensor.

Unlike the Watch GT 2, this one only packs a single button on the side which is the shortcut for the menu but don’t worry because the touchscreen display of the smartwatch will be just fine for navigation on the display of the Watch Fit.

For the watchband, it features rubber soft straps that is available in different colors and what I like about it is that it’s available in different colors that can fit your mood however sometimes, I do experience skin irritation on this one which barely happens to me on most bands.

As for the battery of the smartwatch, this one won’t disappoint you as this one got up to almost two weeks of battery life and it can really go up to 10 days of usage without charging but for me, who’s always using an always-on display, I can up to 5-6 days of use.

The Huawei Watch Fit comes with a lot of features inside too, as expected we got here the 24-hour heart rate sensor so you can monitor your heart rate monitor all day and it was quite good and the results that we got are almost the same with other devices.

Aside from that there’s the Oxygen Saturation Detection that can detect your SpO2 which is also essential for exercising including running and some heavy workouts. Other features are still here too including the Huawei TruSleep 2.0 that can give me my sleeping patterns and analyze the data for me and give me suggestions on how I can improve my sleep. There’s stress tracking too and also breathing exercises that can help you manage your stress.

The Huawei Health app does a fine job in collecting the data and it’s very user-friendly and very easy to use. Connecting the device won’t be a problem too and you can access everything that you need on this application.

For the notifications, you have to manually set up each application that will show notifications on the watch and unfortunately, there’s no quick reply to applications like Messenger, Viber and more but hey, at least you get a large display on this one that can show you more content on the display.

Lastly, there’s the fitness tracking on this one which is really comprehensive and really amazing. What I like about the Huawei Watch Fit is that this one is user friendly whether you’re a fitness buff or not. There are 96 workout modes on this one which is quite amazing for those people who are always active but the Watch Fit is also an amazing companion for those people who are busy working at home.

First, there are fitness courses that are really useful during this pandemic including reenergize that will take you just three minutes and even 6 minutes work out to exercise at work which is really useful these days and not too intimidating to some people.  Another cool courses that you can expect in here is the ab ripper, core workout and many more.

But of course, there are other courses too like running and other sports which are also helpful and since we got GPS on this one, you can track the places you’ve gone to. Another cool thing about working out on this device is that there are animations that show you what to do which is like your personal coach.

There are still some of the essential features in here including the Flashlight, alarm, timer, weather notifications, and most of them are useful. However, there’s no support for 3rd party applications on this one which is just fine IMO considering its price and battery life.

The Huawei Watch Fit is definitely an amazing companion for workouts even if you’re just new to it thanks to the animated workouts that can also act as your coach and the tracking and workout modes of this one is just expansive. As for the other features, we still got here some jam-packed features and while it might not have 3rd party app support, this one would be just enough for those who want a wearable device for workouts.

The battery of the watch is pretty good too as I mostly charge the watch once a week and the design of this is pretty cool too. The watchbands are pretty and colorful but for some reason, I experience some skin irritations sometimes on this one.

The Huawei Watch Fit is now available for Php4,999
