The large core is downclocked to a 2.40GHz frequency. But that won’t make a major change in the Mate 70 Pro Premium Edition’s performance. As per Huawei Customer Service, the new model offers 35% improved performance over Mate 60 Pro.
Apart from the CPU, the Mate 70 Pro Premium Edition runs on the Maleoon 920 GPU, similar to the original variant. Other features of the device, such as the display, camera, and other parameters, are the same as the basic version.
Huawei Mate 70 Pro Premium Edition launch will eventually relieve the shortage of the Mate 70 Pro models in the company. Consumers can opt for the device if they want to access Pro-grade capabilities at a slightly lower price.
