Display

I must say the Huawei Mate 80 Pro Max has a very elegant 6.9" LTPO OLED display. At FHD+ resolution, it features a resolution of 1320 x 2848 pixels and an excellent 455 ppi pixel density, which means that the screen will appear sharp and vibrant. The colors are bright, blacks are deep and vivid and the overall picture quality is fantastic for gaming, movies and everyday use.

It also has a 120Hz refresh rate, which provides smooth scrolling and gameplay. Not as high as some of their competitors, but just fine and aids in battery efficiency. The LTPO technology is intelligent, and automatically adjusts its refresh rate to the task at hand, which helps conserve power where it's not necessary.

The best thing about it is that it has an awesome peak brightness of 8,000 nits. This is a pretty amazing show and one of the brightest shows that's available out there! This phone is easy to use outdoors in the sunlight without squinting. The HDR support improves video content, making movies and video streaming content even better.

The 90.2% screen to body ratio indicates low bezels and offers you more screen space for your immersive viewing. The punch hole notch is not obtrusive and is very inconspicuous. The protection of Huawei Kunlun Glass 2 can prevent the screen from falling and scratching.

Overall, the Mate 80 Pro Max's display is a real highlight. It's extremely fun, colorful and bright; perfect for gaming or watching videos.

Camera

Huawei Mate 80 Pro Max features an impressive quad camera setup on its back with which it can handle just about any photo scenario. The camera is equipped with a high resolution 50mp sensor, with a variable f1.4 to f4.0 aperture, and with optical image stabilization to give you the maximum flexibility. The f/1.4 lens opening allows for shooting in low light and the variable aperture will adjust to different light sources.

The secondary 50MP telephoto camera, f/2.1, offers smooth zooming for faraway objects. The third camera has a 50MP periscope telephoto lens with f/3.2 aperture, which provides excellent optical zoom without compromising on image quality.

In HDR mode, it manages to capture not only incredible detail in the bright areas but also in the shadowy areas as well.

Low-Light Photo:

This camera is really outstanding at night. The broad f/1.4 aperture allows for a lot of light to reach the camera, resulting in bright and detailed images even in low-light situations. The optical image stabilization ensures photos are sharp and avoids blurring. High accuracy processing maintains clean shots in low light situations, with little noise. The LED flash is a super helpful back up lighting function when necessary.

Mate 80 Pro Max really excels in video creation. High quality 4K videos can be captured at a resolution of 3840x2160. The standout is the incredible 960fps slow motion – this enables you to make a dramatic slow motion that looks professional. Video HDR support provides you with excellent colours and contrast in your videos.

Advanced video options include dual video recording, macro video for zooming in on close-ups and video HDR for enhanced footage quality. Even when you're on the go, your videos are smooth and stable thanks to the OIS.

The 13MP ultra-wide front camera will come in handy for selfie enthusiasts and video callers as it can shoot video up to 4K at f/2.0. In all, the Mate 80 Pro Max is an unequalled professional level camera and video device.
