Although starting from Huawei's first generation Mate series mobile phones and the first P series mobile phones, the positioning difference between Mate business flagship and P image flagship is very clear. They are parallel flagships with the same level, and logically, users who pay attention to taking photos choose the P series, and users who pay attention to the comprehensive experience choose the Mate series, which should not be wrong. But starting with the Mate40 series, this situation has changed a lot. 
Huawei Mate40 series is divided into four models: Mate40, Mate40 Pro, Mate40 Pro+, Mate40 Porsche Design, of which Mate40 Pro+ and Mate40 Porsche Design focused on strengthening the performance of photo ability, from that year on, The rules for choosing Mate or P have changed. After adding a better periscope telephoto and replacing it with a better main camera, Huawei's Mate40 Pro+ image performance swept the field, not only crushing the P40 series, but also becoming the best phone for taking photos that year. 
In addition to the improvement of image capabilities, Huawei Mate40 Pro+ also inherits the attributes of the Mate series business flagship. In the design, it brings the classic star ring, and the shape of concentric circles is far better than the conventional shape of the P40 series. In terms of peripheral configuration, the Mate40 series has the dual speakers that the P40 series lacks. And in terms of performance, Mate's processor choice is ahead of the P series generation, and Mate40 Pro+ uses Huawei's strongest mobile phone SOC-Kirin 9000 so far. In this way, the product force of Huawei's Mate40 generation is better than that of the P40 series, and the P series has become the next replacement in the face of the Mate40 series. 
The same situation also appears in the P50 and Mate50 series, Mate50 Pro is better than P50 Pro in terms of core configuration and image capability, and is currently Huawei's best performance model. And the Porsche design version of the Mate50 also brings the signature telephoto macro feature. Two successive generations of Mate series completely hit the product performance of the P series, blurring the difference between their product positioning, which will make new Huawei users feel that Mate is the real flagship series, and the product positioning of the P series is lower than Mate. 
This situation has changed in the P60 era, perhaps Huawei feels that friends have made rapid progress in the past two years, so the image part of the P60 series has a big move, bringing a latent telephoto lens with OIS stabilization, macro support, and RYYB color. And Huawei has made the telephoto macro function a standard part of the P60 series telephoto lens, even the P60 standard version with the lowest positioning also supports the RYYB telephoto macro function, but the parameters are slightly castrated. The new P60 Art series brings the night image quality and functional performance of the telephoto lens of the mobile phone to the extreme, and is the best telephoto lens in the current Huawei series mobile phone. 
Thanks to the supermodel performance of the P60 series, the image capability of the latest Huawei Mate 60 series is still strong, but there are still some gaps in front of P60 Pro and P60 Art. Even Huawei's latest positioning super flagship Mate 60 Extraordinary Master, the configuration parameters of the camera and the final image quality are inferior to P60 Art. The positioning of the two series has changed from this generation to parallel flagships, and the difference in function has become more obvious. The P60 series has brought the best image performance of its own, the Mate 60 series pays more attention to the image building of the brand, and the use experience of Mate mobile phones can no longer crush the P series in an all-round way. 
With the arrival of 2024, there are more and more relevant news about Huawei P70, and it is clear that this P70 will push the performance of mobile phone image capability to a new height. Recently, foreign media GSMArena said that the ultra-wide-angle lens of Huawei P70 mobile phone will use a 1G6P structure (one layer of glass lens + six layers of plastic lens), and the main lens will be equipped with a 1-inch sensor. Combined with previous news, the P70 will also bring a new stealth telephoto lens with a 100mm focal length equivalent to 4x magnification. 
This time, the three mainstream focal segment cameras of Huawei P70 will be upgraded, and the improvement is very large. In the past, Huawei often used the sensors of previous models in new models, combined with new algorithms to upgrade the photo performance. This time, Huawei has chosen to comprehensively improve the performance of the hardware part and cooperate with the new generation of XMAGE images, which is believed to return Huawei to the top position in mobile terminal shooting ability. It is also from the P70 series that the product positioning difference between Huawei Mate and P series will become more distinct.
