Just launched, Huawei Mate 40 Pro has been imitated by the Chinese: Snapdragon 865 price of 3.1 million

At the end of October, Huawei officially launched its Mate 40 series high-end smartphone in the world market and home China. This machine is integrated with many cult technologies such as Kirin 9000 5nm chip, 5G, super fast charging and especially the camera cluster with excellent zoom and low light photography capabilities.

Immediately after launch, the Mate 40 quickly attracted the attention of users, especially in China. According to statistics, all three models of Mate40 are Mate 40, Mate 40 Pro, Mate 40 Pro + have sold out after only 28 seconds of selling. A lot of people even line up in front of Huawei stores to decide to own this flagship model.

The attraction of the Mate 40 series not only comes from the outstanding technologies mentioned above, but many people also believe that this could be the last true flagship of Huawei. While the US government’s ban has not yet been lifted, Huawei is facing a lot of difficulties in cooperating with component suppliers, especially processor chips. In fact, even the supply of chips for the Mate 40 is said to have been very limited.

Even though Huawei is in trouble, counterfeit phone makers are unlikely to let it go. Recently, an “anonymous” manufacturer named ivvi has announced the … Mate 40 imitation of Huawei’s Mate 40 Pro. And not surprisingly, this ivvi brand is also from China.

The ivvi Mate 40 has a design similar to the Mate 40 Pro, especially on the back with a circular camera cluster. However, the fake Mate40 still has a few differences that users can recognize. Next to the “vivi” logo instead of Huawei, the Leica logo has also been removed to replace the text “AI Camera”. The most significant difference is on the front, when instead of cloning Huawei’s “pill” screen, vivi gives his Mate40 a teardrop screen.

The configuration of this “Mate 40” is also terrible, when ivvi says it is equipped with Snapdragon 865 chip, 10GB RAM and 256GB internal memory. But, the surprise here is the price. Despite the integration of many technologies, but the price of ivvi Mate 40 is only … 898 yuan (equivalent to 3.1 million).

However, do not let the configuration parameters “terrible” and the startlingly cheap price make you blurred. Because, like many other counterfeit products, it is possible that the Snapdragon 865 chip, 10GB RAM and 256GB internal memory of the ivvi Mate 40 are fake. Currently, it is very common for Chinese manufacturers to deceive system test tools to display false parameters.

For example, on the clone iPhone 12 Pro Max we used to have on hand, the Chinese manufacturer was able to deceive software such as CPU-Z, AIDA64 … to show that the device owns a Snapdragon chip. 855, 8GB RAM, 512GB internal memory. In fact, the configuration of the machine is just MediaTek MT6580 chip, 1GB RAM and 16GB of internal memory.
